About Helen Stearns, DNP
Solo virtual practice Stearns founded after a nurse practitioner career that began at a sexual medicine clinic and continued in geriatric primary care. She sees women through perimenopause, menopause and beyond, licensed only in California. New patients start with a free 15-minute discovery call and a long initial consultation with a questionnaire completed beforehand, then choose between stand-alone visits and The Midlife Membership, a concierge model with a four-month foundation phase and direct access between visits. She prescribes only FDA-approved hormone therapy sent to a local retail pharmacy and explains at length why she does not use hormone pellets. She does no in-person exams or procedures and works alongside a patient's primary care and gynecology providers. Beyond core menopause care she offers osteoporosis management and cancer-informed menopause care for women with a history of breast or gynecologic cancer.
