Hi, I’m Danielle, Physician Assistant 
and founder of Empowered Medicine

Around here, we do
women’s hormone
optimization differently

I help women in perimenopause and beyond feel clear, energized, and fully themselves again through thoughtful + evidence based hormone optimization. Because women deserve better than being told their labs are “normal” while their body is telling a very different story.

The Empowered Approach

At empowered medicine we take a proactive, individualized approach to bioidentical hormone replacement therapy in midlife.

If you’ve been told to:
“wait it out” or “you’re too young”
You’re in the right place.
Perimenopause isn’t just a “deal with it phase”.
We aren’t here to do the bare minimum to survive midlife, we’re here to optimize your hormones so you can thrive through midlife.
Hormone replacement therapy is women’s healthcare.
About me

Meet your practitioner

I’m a licensed Physician Assistant with a background that’s a little unconventional—in the best way. It’s allowed me to take a more comprehensive, nuanced approach to women’s health, especially in midlife. I’m passionate about helping women optimize their hormones, energy, metabolism, and overall health through individualized, evidence-based care.

My training goes beyond traditional medicine. I hold a master’s degree in counseling psychology, I’m certified as a functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner and fertility educator, and I spent years working as a certified personal trainer. This combination allows me to look at health from multiple angles—medical, physiological, and lifestyle—so we’re not just addressing symptoms, but the full picture.

I’m also a human of authentic chaos, a dog lover, and someone who feels most at home outdoors and in motion. I’m an enneagram 8w7, an avid trip planner, and always in pursuit of optimal health. What I’ve learned is that “optimal” is always evolving—it looks different in every season of life. But it consistently comes back to a few things: a regulated nervous system, meaningful connection, play, movement, and good sleep.
