A partner through hormonal change

I’m Dr. Elise Schroeder—a naturopathic doctor, herbalist, women’s health specialist, and mother.  

Since 2001, I’ve helped women understand their bodies and find a path toward feeling better.

My work begins with listening. I want to hear what’s changed, what you’re worried about, and what you wish someone would take the time to understand.

Perimenopause and menopause can affect more than your periods, sleep, or energy. They can change how you feel about yourself—and bring new questions about what you need and who you’re becoming. You deserve care that makes room for all of it.

Experience you can trust. Care that feels personal.

I bring decades of experience in women’s health, fertility, and hormone medicine. My work has included reproductive health and fertility clinics, serving as Executive Director of the Women in Balance Institute, and consulting on thousands of clinical hormone cases.

I studied human biology and women’s studies at the University at Albany and earned my Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine at the National College of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland, Oregon.

Teaching is central to how I practice. I take time to explain what we’re finding, discuss your treatment options, and help you make informed decisions. Together, we build a plan that fits your symptoms, priorities, and everyday life. When needed, I also help you communicate your concerns and goals with your other healthcare providers.

My hope is that you leave our visits feeling heard, clearer about your options, and supported in your next steps.

You are welcome here

Whatever your background, identity, or life experience, you’re welcome in my practice. I’ll take the time to listen, get to know you, and treat you with kindness and respect.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before we meet. If you’re looking for a thoughtful partner through hormonal change, I’d love to hear what’s bringing you here.
