Obstetrics and Gynecology

Doctorpedia Profile

As an obstetrician and gynecologist I know what women seek. I am intimately aware of the short-comings of modern medicine, the benefits of an integrative approach and the importance of listening inward.

It is both an honor and a privilege to share women’s intimate concerns and to be available for them at the most important times in their lives. I aim to help women understand and heal their bodies by listening intently, offering support, advice and encouragement along with comprehensive medical care. It is from this relationship with my patients that I receive my greatest reward.

Dr. Hansen completed a residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology followed by a fellowship in Sexual Health, a Certification in Menopause and a strong alignment with an integrative approach to care. After realizing her strong desire to educate she completed a Master of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University and has witnessed life-changing results as a Certified Transformational Coach and Facilitator.

Married to Canadian Astronaut, Jeremy Hansen, and blessed with three amazing teenagers, the entire family enjoys outdoor life, night swimming and watching for satellites among the stars.
