"Medical patriarchy" refers to a system within the healthcare industry where medical practices, policies, and attitudes are heavily influenced by patriarchal views and norms. In this context, patriarchy is a social system in which men hold primary power and predominate in roles of political leadership, moral authority, social privilege, and control of property.

WHO WE ARE
We are a group of passionate and experienced women who have been living within and working against the harms and inadequacies of the current women's health system for years, specializing in the fields of birth, fertility, sexual wellness, and pelvic care. We recognize the need for a more complete, compassionate, and informed system to support women's true vitality. We are currently developing a system that supports healthcare providers by incentivizing client-centered care and empowers women by giving them knowledge, autonomy, and control over their bodies, their treatment, and their overall well-being. Our goal is to create a future where every woman feels valued, understood, and fully supported in her health journey.
