  • 125. Perimenopause & the brain with Ivy Emery, NP & Andrea Zimmerman, NP
    Mar 14 2025

    Andrea Zimmerman and Ivy Emery are Board Certified Women's Health Nurse Practitioners and co-owners of Harmoni Wellness. They have served in OBGYN for over 20 years combined. While working in the OBGYN field, they identified a gap in care around perimenopause, menopause, pelvic floor/ vaginal and sexual health. They started their own practice last April to address not only these gaps in care but to change the manner in which the care is delivered. They recognize that the key elements of providing care for women are: 1) taking the time to listen, 2) asking questions about sexuality, vaginal and mental health that are often omitted in standardized care, 3) educating clients and offering safe, evidenced-based options so women can choose the care plan right for them, and 4) following up with clients to ensure questions are answered and therapies are adjusted if needed.
