About Harmony Health Partners

Kristen founded Harmony Health Partners after decades as a women's health nurse practitioner, and she wrote openly about leaving rushed, insurance-driven care to build it. The practice is mostly telehealth for Connecticut patients, with limited in-person visits at an office inside a physical therapy clinic in Gales Ferry. Every new patient starts with a 60-minute Blueprint visit, and labs are ordered before it so the first appointment is spent on results and a plan. She prescribes bioidentical estradiol, progesterone and testosterone, and also treats weight gain, insulin resistance, thyroid problems, PCOS and PMDD. She works alongside two other nurse practitioners, one focused on cancer survivors and one on autoimmune and joint conditions, and coordinates care with them when symptoms overlap.
