- feeling blocked or limited in living an aligned, inspired life
- stuck in patterns of chronic stress & have trouble winding down

- been given a diagnosis...and a pill as your only option
- a history of "normal" labwork but intuitively know something is off
- a desire for an experienced clinician to analyze your hormonal test results with a holistic approach & dynamic plan
- a belief that healing shouldn't involve fear-mongering or nonstop to-do lists
- a desire for immersive preconception care to optimize fertility & get pregnant on your own terms
- a craving for more pleasure, joy, self-love, or sensuality in your life
Why Alchemy?
Because you deserve to feel amazing.
To truly transform, reverse your symptoms, & feel fully alive,
you deserve a proven framework that nourishes all parts of you.
ROOT CAUSE REVIVAL LOOKS LIKE THIS
MIND
nervous system
chronic stress, productivity, perfectionism & limiting beliefs have created a state of chronic burnout in women. When you support your nervous system as step #1, you signal to the rest of your body that it's safe to start rebalancing & healing your hormones, gut issues, & exhaustion.
Fuse neuroscience 101 with tools to create reverse burnout, perfectionism, & create deeper resilience.
BODY
science + medicine
your symptoms are meant to point you to the source of the imbalance. When you learn how to follow the signals back to the root, you can give your body the resources for less pain, more energy, & better digestion.
Integrate the practicality of functional medicine with the biology, nutrition, & sex ed classes you never got for answers to WHY you've been feeling this way - & the simple yet powerful tools to reclaim your health.
SOUL
feminine energy + cyclical living
you are not a machine, yet you've been conditioned to measure your worth through your productivity. When you learn to connect with your natural rhythms & sacred feminine power, you'll feel more pleasure, passion, purpose, rest, & joy.
Dive into ancestral wisdoms, somatic & embodiment practices, energy medicine, sensuality, & tantra for deeper vitality & to feel truly, fully alive.
By the end of Hormone Alchemy, you'll gain

- an understanding of how to eat long-term to bring pleasure back into food
- the resources to rewire your belief system
- a framework of the 8 fundamentals to make you more resilient & full of vitality - while creating lasting hormone & body changes
- a 30-day hormone reset to reignite your hormones
- clarity on your unconscious patterns that create a turned-off life

Integration
- a transformation in your relationship to food, your health, & your body

I'm in!
I'm a holistic gynecologist who believes you are both science & magic.
You shouldn't have to choose.
Understanding your body is your birthright, but you've never truly been taught.
But you were taught to "be strong" and power through your pain.
As a result, you're not sure why your body has symptoms or how to reverse them long-term & at a root cause level.
But you can.
Feminine power & pleasure are your birthright, but you've never truly been taught.
But you were taught to be productive & get shit done.
As a result, you've been disconnected from your needs, sensuality, pleasure, & power to create a deeply turned-on life.
But you can.
None of us were ever truly taught about womanhood.
I'm on a mission to change that.
Hi! I'm Lera, founder of Whole Womanhood.
I'm a board certified OB/GYN clinician with a background in neuroscience, fertility, mind-body medicine, & embodiment. I'm a doula, a dancer, & a mama.
I'm also one of the sickest women I've ever worked with.
I've been the patient & the clinician. I spent years burned out - on a hormonal rollercoaster with high blood pressure, constant gut issues, acne, rashes, & more. Ironically, I was caring for hundreds of my own patients at the time and was voted one of the highest-rated clinicians in California.
After years in conventional medicine, I left one of the top hospitals in the world to create something that inspires & supports women to reclaim full-body literacy that interweaves all facets of your lived experience.
Science gives us answers, but feminine energetics give us life force.
You deserve to get to the root of your health symptoms and also reach the heights of your bliss. Feeling "less shitty" should never be the goal.
We've been conditioned to suffer, but that narrative is changing.
Be a model, not a martyr.
You are worthy of feeding your needs. You deserve to access bliss, with less bloat. Joy, with less burnout. Life, with more living.
Be the goddess & the scientist.
This is your invitation into a new paradigm of womanhood.

What Others Have Experienced
BE INSPIRED
"Before I signed up for this program, I was just drained. I had no energy. I was very irritable. I used to have severe menstrual cramps, where I would curl up into the fetal position. I'd sometimes see stars. I'd have to call into work because I couldn't get out of bed. I would bleed for two weeks. Sometimes I would have my period twice a month. I have so much more energy. My menstrual cramps don't exist anymore, and cycle is 6 days. This is the best I've ever felt."
Audrey Nguyen
"5 years of unexplained infertility, 3 miscarriages, and 48k in IVF treatments. Lera explained “unexplained infertility” with a plan to change it and WITHIN FOUR MONTHS, I WAS PREGNANT!! This is the SINGLE BEST INVESTMENT I'VE EVER MADE. Working with Lera is a one-in-a-million feeling where you find that soulmate click with a healer who gets you. And the woman can make you laugh. Two babies later, I continue to benefit every day from our work together while living out a dream I never thought was in the cards for me. "

4 MONTHS FROM NOW THIS COULD BE YOU
Zareen, Rydhan
Software Engineer & yoga Instructor
Lera has a special way of getting past the bullshit that is women’s healthcare and rewired the unhealthy mindset we pick up from it to make sense of the simplest thing: why am i feeling shitty when i have gone to literally every expert.
the tools i now have from lera allowed me to actually practice what i preach; listening to my body has become more accessible and she gave me all the tools to do just that. she made it so easy to know exactly what i need in ANY situation to the point i can listen to my friends speaking about work shit and i already know they need more rest. i can wake up see my body temperature, feel what my body is craving and know what kind of day i am going to have an pinpoint it to the phase in my cycle because lera empowered me to. and that is what i wish for all women, to be whole ass women who are empowered to truly know their bodies
Taylor Chang
Not only has Lera guided me through a journey of physical healing but she’s shown me the power and importance of healing broken beliefs and thought patterns. Chronic pain has been a part of my life since adolescence and through my partnership with Lera, that pain cycle has been broken. I’m experiencing more good days than bad and a renewed enjoyment for living life. We’re still working on further restoration but I now *believe* that it’s possible and I haven’t always been able to say that.
Sophia Sobko
I came to Lera with chronic headaches, fatigue, and a dysregulated digestive system that left me unable to work and enjoy life. Six months later, I am largely free of all of these issues, and am on my way to re-regulating my nervous system. Lera addressed the root causes of my auto-immune condition with deep compassion and a fierce dedication to helping me experience vitality, not just an absence of symptoms. Most importantly, she empowered me to pursue new practices as a way to nourish and love myself. After decades of being failed by the dominant medical system, I feel so grateful to her.
Christina Amendola
At some point, I realized I was trusting everything except myself. But now, I've found my own answers by asking myself what I need and actually listening. Working with Lera has been life-changing. She listens and supports like no other health professional, meeting you wherever you are. Her approach, rooted in science yet deeply connected to mind-body wellness, has given me the tools to set healthier boundaries, tune into my body's wisdom, and, most importantly, trust myself.
Andi D.
Working with Lera has allowed me to reclaim not only many aspects of my physical health, but also many aspects of my life in general! She’s supported both my physical AND emotional well being, helping me feel stronger, empowered, confident, and vibrant. I appreciate her ability to look at the big picture when diving into my health concerns…her focus on root causes has been so eye opening and refreshing. I didn’t want any more bandaids to mask the symptoms… I was ready to dive in and discover the root causes of the issues I was having. Lera met me where I was at and helped me discover so much about myself and why I was feeling as I was. We went at my pace and she truly listened to me and adapted my treatment plan based on how I was feeling. Lera is patient, knowledgeable, a bit edgy in a great way :), and a true champion of her clients. I’m so grateful to her and how she’s helped me to enhance my life! I’m pooping better, my stomach issues are so much better, I’m starting to sleep better, I’m eating better and truly nourishing my body now, plus I’m setting better boundaries and protecting my peace and my sanity!
Jackie Um
Before this, I was hustling, my health was deteriorating, and my mental state wasn’t good. I knew I needed to fix my health. I went to many different doctors and I always got the same answer, I was totally fine. But I didn’t feel good. Making this investment in myself changes parts of my life I never thought possible. I overcame my relationship with food, with myself, and with other people. I’m now able to set boundaries. The tools here are simple but so effective.
All of my friends were asking why I seem more confident & why I feel amazing. Mentally, physically, emotionally..everything has changed for the better. I come from the fitness industry and the nutrition aspect of this blew my mind. The moment I decided to put myself first changed everything. I’m so proud of being able to love myself a lot more. It sounds crazy, but I realized I didn’t really love myself the way I deserved. It changes how I interact with people, the decisions I make, and the obstacles that come my way. Normally I have high anxiety and this is my first time in my adult life learning to really rest and not feel anxious. For me to overcome that without guilt while showing myself grace, it’s crazy. You don’t realize how little you care for yourself until you finally take the step to stick up for yourself. I’m so happy I went through this journey, I finally know what it feels like to feel so good. I would 1000% percent recommend!!!!!!!
