My Journey in Medicine

In my work as an OB hospitalist, the majority of my days are spent supporting women in labor and delivering babies. I love the fast pace and excitement this job brings and enjoy meeting my patients at such an important point in their lives! Medical training taught me a lot, but actually going through birth twice and parenting my kids gave me a whole new perspective on the experience.

After I had my first child, I realized how little breastfeeding education I had received in my training to become an OB-GYN and decided to take on the ninety hours of lectures and 1,000 hours of clinical experience it took to become a Certified Lactation Consultant. I am so glad to have made this decision, as it has made me a better obstetrician.

Beyond practicing medicine, I enjoy educating women about their bodies through various outlets, empowering them to make informed decisions and truly care for themselves. In my book, Let’s Talk About Down There, I address all sorts of topics related to vaginal and reproductive health, like hormones, menstrual cups, birth control, and more. I am also active on social media, where I provide evidence-based, myth-busting sex ed to millions of followers on TikTok and Instagram. There are so many misconceptions floating around on the internet about the female body, and I aim to combat all that through my content. Finally, at The Wellness Network, Bundoo, and here at Flo, I enjoy writing and reviewing medical articles.

I believe that women deserve doctors who are approachable, caring, and honest — who really take the time to listen to their concerns and see them as a person. My patients teach me so much every day, and although the work is hard at times, it’s so worth it.

Fun Facts

I love sipping a great cup of coffee, reading good books, and hiking. Luckily for me, it’s easy to do all three of those in Portland!
