Hi! I'm Lera.
I used to practice as a board certified OB/GYN clinician, and left conventional medicine to create Whole Womanhood, a functional medicine practice with an unconventional approach.
I now combine my background in neuroscience, fertility, mindset coaching, sexuality, & embodiment to help women understand the root of their symptoms while learning to live a deeply turned on life.
The goal is not to get healthy. That usually breeds obsession, restriction, or compulsion.
I prefer you feel free & alive.
You're meant to do amazing things, & I'm here to make sure your body supports you every step of the way.
Together, we build out deep stress resilience, vitality, & connection to your power.
I focus on full-body literacy & reconnecting you to your innate body wisdom.
Healing is dynamic.
Both magical and shitty things will happen to us all.
Our goal?
For you to build out your capacity so that the magic far, far outweighs the shit.
I help you understand the your body on a biological level while regulating your nervous system & reconnecting to your sensuality & power.
You get to cultivate the best version of yourself & live a life you love...in a body you understand.

How I can support you:
1:1 Private Coaching
For highly motivated women looking for the accountability, tools, & guidance to take a deep dive into both mind and body medicine while uncovering the root of their symptoms with functional lab testing, personalized care plans, optimized nutrition education, natural birth control options, mindfulness, and lifestyle medicine. You get a partner and advocate in your journey who listens and guides you as you gain the confidence and knowledge to heal, understand, and deeply enjoy your body.
1:1 Fertility Support
For women looking for expert functional support & coaching in achieving their pregnancy goals with a personalized, deep dive into comprehensive foundational pillars as well as commonly overlooked causes of "unexplained infertility" including stress, toxicities, genetics, digestive health, and lifestyle. For women who want a natural approach to their preconception journey AND those with a prior history of fertility issues or infertility. When you've already tried for a year or aren't satisfied with "just try for a year".
How it works:
Our Deep Dive Together
You have an important story to tell. Through a functional medicine lens, we will take a dive into your history, symptoms, and goals to figure out missed red flags, triggers, assess your symptoms, review prior health actions, herbs, supplements, treatments, & lab work.
We will then combine this with mind-body work and create the foundations of nervous system repair. We will determine necessary lab tests and what lifestyle, emotional, mental, spiritual, and environmental factors may also be playing a role in your health struggles - all while creating a foundation that puts you back in control of understanding what your body is trying to tell you. You will build out a toolkit for both body & stress resilience with a clear plan of action, ongoing support from me, & joy through the process.
Your Dynamic Plan
I use targeted, advanced functional medicine testing as part of the recipe to determine the underlying causes of your issues & what will create the biggest impact. The first rule: test, don't guess.
The second rule: testing needs to be very well interpreted. Testing should never give you a mainstream protocol. Every single part of your plan is individualized to you. You will have access to both specialized + advanced functional testing - from DNA stool testing to toxicity, inflammation to comprehensive fertility markers. I use a holistic approach so that we can investigate the multifactorial causes, have ongoing accountability, and create lasting changes.
Whole Woman
Immersion
Your test results, your history, your nourishment, your desires, your physiology, your body image, your community - they all matter when healing.
To create a sustainable transformation, we combine diet, nervous system repair, pleasure coaching, supplement considerations, lifestyle changes, optimizing nutrients, energy & environment, mindfulness & mindset, and embodiment practices. Through ongoing support & holistic step-by-step changes, we make magic happen so you can feel incredible, create long lasting changes, and focus on building your dream life. This work is holistic, it's challenging, it's fun, and it's transformational. Your life becomes your medicine.

"My son is here and he’s the most beautiful, gorgeous, sunshiny boy ever! Even when he wakes me up at night by climbing on top of me (30 pounds of happiness) and latching, my first emotion is overwhelming love. My husband, who saw everything you did during birth, told me that hiring you was by far the best investment he ever made. I’m just so happy and peaceful that he’s there, in my arms, the greatest treasure. You made it possible."
We have been taught to normalize symptoms because they're now so common. But just because something is common doesn't make it normal.
Periods are not supposed to be painful.
Our moods are not supposed to be erratic.
Food is not the enemy.
Pregnancy & birth are not medical events.
Fertility is not out of your control.
Hormonal birth control is not the only answer.
IBS is not a real diagnosis.
“Normal” labwork doesn't mean there's nothing wrong.
Your worth does not come from your productivity.
Bloating, constipation, or diarrhea are not normal.
"Maybe you're just anxious" is not a diagnosis.
Your symptoms are not in your head.
We have been taught that it’s normal to not feel heard.
It's not normal.
