Claire Walker founded Candescent Health and Wellness in South Bend and runs it as a women's health practice for the Michiana area. She is a nurse midwife and says she went into midwifery to get patients taking an active role in their own healthcare. Menopause and perimenopause care sits alongside gynecology, sexual health, urinary incontinence treatment and medical weight loss, so one visit can cover more than one of those. Pelvic exams are done with trauma informed care, and consent is checked at each step of the exam. Her stance on hormones is open, and the practice says most patients are candidates for hormone replacement even with a personal or family history of cancer. The clinic runs a monthly menopause support group for patients and their partners, and appointments can be in person or by video.
