Hi, I’m Stephanie Traver WHNP, MSCP

It’s a pleasure to meet you! I’m a Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner and Menopause Society Certified Practitioner. I am also a mom in my 40’s, ceramics artist, yogi, and wanna-be chef. It has been my privilege over the past 20 years to partner with tens of thousands of incredible humans through life changing transitions and healing journeys of all kinds. I noticed a repeated theme start to arise over the years. This conversation started something like this. I’m sitting across from someone on the brink of tears telling me “I think something is seriously wrong. I’m gaining weight, always tired, snapping at my partner, and my focus is gone. I feel like I’m going crazy!” I look back, hand over the tissues and tell them, “You aren’t alone and you are not crazy. I can help.” The tears flow and relief is palpable.

I realized how little perimenopause and menopause was being talked about, how few health care providers really felt comfortable treating the symptoms, and how much unnecessary fear that created. I made it my mission to help and change that. After pouring over the research, attending menopause and sexual health conferences across the country, and networking with rock star pioneers in the field, Vital was born.
