GET TO KNOW ME

Too many women feel dismissed or rushed in traditional healthcare settings. For years, I’ve seen firsthand how so many go unheard or are left without answers while navigating hormonal shifts, fertility challenges, or perimenopause symptoms on their own. You might feel frustrated by the long waits for appointments or by providers who don't have the time to take a deep dive into your health history. Empower Women’s Health exists to fill that gap. I offer expert, personalized telehealth care that meets you exactly where you are, listens to your concerns, and helps you move forward with strength and clarity.

This is your space. Your story matters. Let’s work together to create a plan that fits your body, your goals, and your life.

Healthcare can be frustrating. I'm here to change that.

Professional Bio:

Lauren Woods is a double board-certified Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner with 15 years of experience. She earned her Master of Science in Nursing from Boston College and her midwifery degree from Frontier Nursing University. 

My mission is to make women’s healthcare feel approachable, modern, and truly aligned with your lifestyle. I created Empower Women’s Health to redefine the landscape of women’s healthcare. 

As a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner, I have specialized expertise in hormones, PCOS, fertility, hereditary genetic testing and overall wellness. I have extensive experience with hormone replacement therapy (HRT), perimenopause and menopause support, and weight management solutions. My approach is not just about treating symptoms; it’s about partnering with you, addressing the root cause, and developing a long-term plan so you can feel like the best version of yourself.

I BELIEVE IN:

Clear answers, informed choices, and care that adapts to your life; not the other way around.

I’M NOT ABOUT:

I believe women deserve: More time with their provider, a judgment-free place to ask questions, and thoughtful, personalized care at every stage of life

WHY I DO THIS WORK:

Rushed visits, judgment, or one-size-fits-all plans.

  • "Lauren Woods is absolutely the best OBGYN I have had!! She takes the time to listen to your concerns and addresses any issues. She provides a detailed plan of care and what to expect. I have been through several OBGYN's and with my extensive gynecological history I feel I have found someone who understands and wants to get to the bottom of everything. She responds to questions in a timely manner and when she referred me to an Endocrinologist and I also was seeing other specialties for further diagnostics she asked to keep her updated on each one. After several failed attempts with other providers I do not plan on changing providers any time soon. I highly recommend her for care."

  • "Lauren Woods is amazing. I first met her when attempting to begin my fertility journey, I had more complications than could be managed at this office, but Ms. Woods remembered who I was when coming back for a yearly check up, she was so kind, and listening to me when I discussed PCOS and alternate treatments besides birth control. She never talks down to me, and always treats me with respect, and provides good responses. I highly recommend her to all my friends, and will always want her as my provider."

  • "Lauren Woods is the best provider I've seen at this office so far, she was fantastic. When I asked questions she would answer them and explain things, giving additional information such as why certain symptoms or things are happening, whereas the other providers would give me a simple "that's normal" but not explain what's going on or why it's happening. "

  • "She makes you feel comfortable, asks thorough questions, listens well and explains things in a way you can understand."

  • "I love Lauren! She is down to earth, kind, and always puts me at ease when I have to visit the OBGYN. She was the last doctor I saw, too, right before I gave birth to my little girl, Nora. Would definitely recommend her."

  • "Lauren was the kindest, most empathetic provider I have ever seen. She also is extremely professional and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend her to others."

  • "Lauren Woods is wonderful! Very knowledgeable and compassionate. Made me feel seen and like a real person (rather than a task to be checked off)."
