Women’s Hormone Health Coaching

Certified in Women’s Hormone Health, Dr. Carli Blau and her team of therapists are also able to coach women into living their best lives from the inside out, from insight, top… and to their bottom.

  • A Women’s Hormone Health Coach is typically trained (through certification programs) to help women understand and optimize their hormonal health across different life stages—such as puberty, menstruation, fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause.

    • Scope of Work: Coaches provide education, lifestyle strategies, and accountability around nutrition, stress management, exercise, and self-care practices that support hormone balance.

    • Focus: They empower women to better understand their bodies, advocate for themselves in medical settings, and make daily changes that promote hormonal well-being.

    • Limitations: A hormone health coach is not a medical provider—they don’t diagnose, prescribe medication, or treat medical conditions. Their role is more supportive, educational, and behavioral.

  • A Sex Therapist is a licensed psychotherapist (like you) who has specialized clinical training in sexual health and therapy for individuals and couples.

    Sex therapists address the psychological, relational, and emotional aspects of sexuality. This can include low desire, arousal difficulties, orgasm challenges, pain during sex, mismatched libido, infidelity, sexual identity, intimacy after illness, and the impact of infertility or hormonal changes on relationships.

    They use evidence-based psychotherapy interventions (talk therapy, guided exercises, relational work) to help people resolve sexual and relational challenges.

    • Training & Credentials: Coaches are certified in wellness/education; sex therapists are licensed clinicians.

    • Scope: Coaches focus on lifestyle/hormonal education; sex therapists focus on mental health, intimacy, and relationship dynamics.

    • Medical Integration: Coaches may help clients apply lifestyle strategies while collaborating with medical providers; sex therapists address the emotional/relational impact of sexual or medical issues (like how hormones, infertility, or pain affect desire and intimacy).

    • Overlap: Both can support women navigating hormonal changes, but from different angles—a coach on the lifestyle/health side, and a sex therapist on the psychological/relational side.

  • At Dr. Carli Blau, our therapists are not only educated in sex therapy but also certified in Women’s Hormone Health. This dual expertise allows us to bridge the gap between the body and the mind—addressing the medical, emotional, and relational sides of women’s health in one place.

    Where most practices focus on either hormones or therapy, we integrate both. That means we can help you understand how hormonal shifts impact mood, desire, intimacy, and relationships, while also giving you the therapeutic tools to create lasting change. This unique blend of care provides a level of insight and support rarely found elsewhere, empowering you to heal more holistically and live more fully.

The Dr. Carli Blau Approach

  • Explore

    When working with women’s hormone health, my clinican’s and I begin by asking thoughtful questions about your menstrual cycle, energy levels, sleep, mood, libido, and overall wellness. These patterns often give important clues about how your hormones may be influencing both your physical health and emotional well-being.

    In some cases, we may also recommend collaborating with your medical provider to obtain blood work or lab testing. Looking at levels of key hormones—such as estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid hormones, and cortisol—helps us better understand what’s happening in your body.

    Together, this information allows us to connect the dots between your hormone health, your mental health, and your relationships, so we can create a plan that supports you holistically.

  • Understand

    Looking at hormone patterns through questions and blood work helps us uncover how your body and mind are connected. For example, shifts in estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone can directly affect mood, energy, desire, and intimacy. By understanding these changes, we can:

    Validate that what you’re experiencing is real and biologically influenced—not “in your head.”

    Reduce shame and self-blame by connecting symptoms to hormonal fluctuations.

    Tailor therapy strategies that align with your body’s natural cycles and needs.

    Help you advocate more effectively with medical providers by bringing emotional and relational insights into the conversation.

    This holistic view leads to greater clarity and self-awareness—helping you see the full picture of how your hormones, emotions, and relationships all interact, so you can make choices that support your well-being.

  • Change

    When women understand their hormones and how those shifts impact mood, energy, confidence, and desire, they gain a powerful roadmap to their own well-being. Combined with sex therapy, this knowledge becomes transformative.

    Clarity: Hormone insights explain why certain challenges arise—whether low libido, painful sex, or mood swings—and remove the guesswork.

    Confidence: With both education and therapeutic support, women stop blaming themselves and start making informed choices about their health, relationships, and intimacy.

    Healing & Growth: Sex therapy provides the tools to rebuild intimacy, strengthen relationships, and reconnect with desire in a way that feels safe and fulfilling.

    Empowerment: Together, this mind-body approach gives women the freedom to fully show up in their lives—not limited by pain, confusion, or shame.

    By bridging hormone health with sex therapy, women can reclaim their bodies, restore their intimacy, and step into the dreams they hold for themselves—whether that means becoming a parent, creating a passionate partnership, or living with more energy and joy.
