Getting Menopause Care in Ontario Is Harder Than It Should Be
Ontario has millions of women going through perimenopause and menopause, but access to specialized hormone care remains limited. GP waitlists are long, referrals to gynaecologists can take months, and many providers simply aren't trained specifically in menopause medicine.
If you've been told to "just wait it out," struggled to get a prescription for hormone therapy, or bounced between appointments without a clear plan, you're not alone.
NuHaven Health offers virtual menopause and hormone health appointments for Ontario residents, available on your schedule, from home.
What Is Virtual Menopause Care?
Virtual menopause care means meeting with a qualified nurse practitioner by video from wherever you are in Ontario. During your appointment, your provider reviews your symptoms, health history, and hormone health goals, then builds a personalized care plan, which may include hormone therapy (HRT), non-hormonal treatment options, or a combination approach.
No travel required. No long wait for a specialist referral. Just focused, evidence-informed care from a practitioner who specializes in this area.
Meet Your NuHaven Care Team
Virtual hormone health appointments for Ontario residents are led by Angela McGraw, DNP, NP, MSCP, Nurse Practitioner and Clinical Director of NuHaven Health. Angela holds the Menopause Society Certified Practitioner (MSCP) designation, the recognized gold standard in menopause care expertise, and one of very few practitioners in Canada to have achieved it.
Angela brings deep clinical experience in hormone therapy (HRT and non-hormonal options), perimenopause and menopause management, and medical weight loss, with a patient-centred approach that treats each person as an individual, not a checklist.
Alongside clinical care, Gineen Nicholls, Women's Holistic Hormone Health Coach and CanFitPro Certified PTS, supports patients in building the lifestyle habits that make hormone health treatment work harder. Gineen specializes in movement strategies, metabolic health, nutrition guidance, and stress resilience for women navigating menopause.
