My Story

Understanding what it’s like to feel unheard and dismissed as a patient has fueled a deep commitment to truly listening, validating concerns, and empowering women to take control of their health.

​

Rena is a board-certified Adult Gerontology Nurse Practitioner with additional training in functional medicine and women’s health. Her experience spans urgent care, cardiology, home health, mental health, med-surg, and primary care.

​

She holds both Bachelor's and Master's degrees from the University of Providence and has been helping patients define and realize their best health for more than fifteen years.

​

Health in Her Hands was founded after witnessing firsthand how traditional medical practices shortchange patients by focusing on simple protocols and revenue-driven algorithms, rather than taking the time to assess the whole person and dive deeply into the root causes of dysfunction.

​

Additional menopause training includes work with Dr. Felice Gersh, Dr. Heather Hirsch, and Kristin Johnson & Maria Claps of Wise & Well.
