Whole Life Rising 

For too long, the health care system has overlooked one of the most crucial stages in a woman’s life: the transition from adolescence to early adulthood. Girls are expected to move from pediatric check-ups to adult gynecology visits with little preparation, limited education, and often, without a trusted provider who truly listens.

At Whole Life Midwife, we’ve seen this gap firsthand — and we’re changing the story.

That’s why we created Whole Life Rising, a program built specifically for teens and young women ages 14–23, designed to meet them exactly where they are. Because early womanhood shouldn’t feel confusing, unsupported, or rushed. It should feel empowering.

The Problem: Girls Deserve More Than a 15-Minute Visit

Most young women are navigating big changes — periods, hormones, body image, emotional swings, stress, relationships, and identity — all while being expected to figure out their health care with minimal guidance.

Unfortunately, traditional care often falls short:

• Pediatricians aren’t trained to address menstrual issues, hormone changes, or sexual health in depth.

• OB/GYN care is often focused on birth control and pap smears — not the whole person.

• Visits are short, rushed, and impersonal.

• Many teens don’t even know what questions to ask — or that they can ask.

This leads to missed diagnoses (like PCOS or early insulin resistance), untreated mental health concerns, and young women growing up disconnected from their bodies.

Whole Life Rising: A New Model of Care for a New Generation

Whole Life Rising is a 3-month virtual wellness program designed to provide whole-person care for girls and young women during a time of deep transformation.

Here’s what makes it different:

Personalized visits — 60-minute intake and two follow-ups that explore menstrual health, emotional wellbeing, metabolism, and more
Advanced lab testing — comprehensive insights into hormone, nutritional, and metabolic health
Body literacy education — curated materials and a book to help girls understand what’s happening and why
Live classes + expert webinars — on topics like stress, sleep, self-advocacy, and sexual health
Safe, private community — a supportive space to learn, ask questions, and feel seen
Optional medication management — for those in NH, ME, and NY when clinically appropriate

Why Early Care Matters

Supporting girls before problems get bigger helps:

• Prevent long-term hormonal and metabolic issues

• Improve emotional resilience

• Build confidence in setting boundaries and asking for care

• Reduce fear around medical appointments

• Normalize discussions about periods, sex, body changes, and emotions

We’re not just treating symptoms. We’re creating a foundation for lifelong health.

Whole Life Rising Is Care You Shouldn’t Have to Wait for

Every girl deserves a space where her questions are heard, her body is respected, and her health is cared for — without fear, shame, or silence.

At Whole Life Midwife, we believe the future of women’s health starts here — not at 40, not after a diagnosis — but at the beginning.

Whole Life Rising is our commitment to building that future.
