Meet Andrea and Ivy.

They are women’s health nurse practitioners and moms to young adults but more importantly women helping other women. They have made it their mission to normalize conversations around women’s intimate health concerns so that they do not suffer in silence.
Their message: Embrace the menopause journey with confidence. It’s a time of transformation, strength, and self-discovery. Let’s support each other and celebrate every step of the way.
They co-own Harmoni Wellness, a Female Focussed Health care Clinic in Plymouth, MN. It provides safe, effective, evidence based therapies to improve common but complex women vaginal and sexual health concerns.
To help the women in our community they partnered with the documentary shredding the silence on Menopause called “ THE M FACTOR” and hosting various screening events to create awareness. It features current research and physicians promoting women’s health and longitivtiy throughout menopause.

Women Struggles
They have heard first hand that some women felt: “unheard” when they share their story, or they have been living with treatable symptoms that reduce quality of life because they did not know there were treatments that could help them.
Some women reported they “felt off and didn’t know what was wrong” because they were experiencing symptoms, they did not understand were natural and treatable.
Overcoming Overwhelm
They understand every woman’s sense of well-being and health needs and goals are very personal and influenced by factors, such as, phase of life, the current demands on time and the capacity to take on new appointments/ classes/ routines.

Concept & Approach
The concept and approach of Harmoni Wellness is two-fold:
1) women and practitioner work together to achieve a great, individual outcome where
2) mind and body systems function in harmony together.
A woman’s physical and psychological journey through all the phases is natural yet can be complicated. It is imperative that women have a support system that encourages honest conversations.
Closing Thoughts
Women, You are powerful, You are beautiful and You deserve to feel all the magic you bring in to the world.
It’s time to Celebrate YOU!
