Menopause brings serious health risks yet most of us do not receive information or treatments to mitigate these risks.
As a busy mother of daughters, my perimenopause health challenges led me to a deep dive into the evidence. Taking the Menopause Society certification exam was the obvious next step and HeyElli, a modern menopause practice was born.
As a Yale graduate, I am obsessed with the latest evidence. I intentionally develop mentoring relationships with other menopause providers so I can bring both the art and the science of modern menopause care to my clients.
My clients want to live vibrant active lives, and appreciate a personalized approach.
"Midwifing menopause" means education about options, hormone balance insights, and holistic guidance around nutrition, movement, mindset, sexuality, and sleep.
I am a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, a Certified Nurse Midwife, and a professor of Nursing.
“Working with Sarah adds so much value to my present moment and my future self. Sarah takes time to thoroughly explain what is occurring with my hormones and how it shows up in the body. Every session with her is like a master class. I'm so grateful to have The Menopause Midwife on my wellness team.”

“Dr. Amersi has never made me feel LESS heard, understood, or appreciated. I saw her for 6 years. In that time I went back to graduate school and got my master's in integrative and functional nutrition - with a specific focus on PCOS. I have told her this maybe 500 times. I also had concerns that I have endometriosis (spoiler alert: I do and its severe). Not only did she act like my concerns were not her problem, she brushed it off in the most frustrating way possible. The last time I ever saw her she told me I need to prepare for the fact that i might not be able to have a baby...I HAVE NEVER EVEN TRIED TO HAVE A BABY. Yes, with my PCOS and endo it might be harder, but its not impossible. There are tons of alternative routes you can take to have a baby. Dr. Amersi pretends like she is a PCOS specialist, but if you actually have PCOS and have issues with your cycle, she will not help you. If you are pretty and rich and concieve easily, she'll love you. But she makes anyone who is not actively trying to have a baby or who MIGHT struggle to have a baby feel utterly worthless after every visit.
Oh, and she is always over an hour late, has tons of random charges, and tries to charge a ridiculous amount so you can have access to YOUR OWN medical records, which is illegal in California. She is the worst. Go elsewhere, she will not care about you and she WILL make you feel like crap, every time you see her. ”
