Christie Shepherd, MSN, APRN, FNP-C

A passion for midlife care: "I became a nurse in 1999 and a family nurse practitioner in 2022, spending several years in family practice caring for patients of all ages. In 2024, I transitioned to women’s health, focusing on the unique concerns women experience in midlife. That same year, I pursued additional training in menopause care."

Listening to what women need: "My journey into midlife care grew from listening to the women I cared for in primary care. So many were coming to me with questions about perimenopause and menopause, and I found it frustrating not to have the resources and training to give them the answers and effective treatment they deserved. Since joining Midi and building specialized expertise in menopause care, I'm able to give women the clear answers and effective, evidence-based treatment they deserve."

Meeting women where they are: "I want every woman to feel heard and to know that what she’s experiencing is real and that help is available. I meet patients where they are in their personal journey, learn what matters most to them, and work alongside them to create a plan that fits their individual needs and goals."

Living fully at every age: "Menopause may be a natural part of life, but that doesn’t mean women have to suffer through it. I believe women can live full, vibrant lives throughout every stage of life. Understanding what’s happening in your body, and knowing there are options, can bring clarity, confidence, and hope."
