Think you’re too young for menopause?
Think your normal hormone labs mean it’s not perimenopause?
Think your only options are “tough it out” or take something risky?

👀Let’s bust those myths.

Perimenopause can start in your 30s.
Hormone panels don’t always tell the full story.
And you don’t need to suffer just because symptoms are “common.”

Menopause is a major transition—and Spectrum offers evidence-based, affirming support through every stage: perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause.

✨ You deserve real answers, real options, and care that centers you.

📅 Link in bio to book with Andrea Phillips, ARNP, CNM—certified menopause specialist.

Mood swings, brain fog, night sweats, joint pain, fatigue, low libido, weird periods…

If you've ever asked yourself, “Could this really be perimenopause?” the answer might be: YES.

But too often, patients are told:
❌ “You’re too young.”
❌ “Your labs are normal.”
❌ “Just wait it out.”

🙅‍♀️ We don’t do that here.
At Spectrum, we take your symptoms seriously—and we treat menopause before it becomes unbearable. Evidence-based. Trauma-informed. No gaslighting. No snake oil.

💡 Want to understand what’s really going on in your body? Let’s talk.

Meet Chibi – Our Office Pup & Director of Radical Rest ✨🐾

If you’ve visited us on a Tuesday or Thursday, there’s a good chance you’ve already met our tiniest team member, Chibi—a Shiba Inu–Chihuahua mix with a heart full of spice and zero tolerance for hoofed mammals. Born in 2016 and perfect ever since, she’s here to keep spirits high and naps taken seriously. 😌💤

You can usually find Chibi popping into intake visits to offer emotional support, accepting (demanding) chin scratches, or modeling her signature "no thoughts, just vibes" pose in a sunbeam. She loves hikes, belly rubs, and being told she’s doing a great job. She’s also never felt shame—mostly because she’s never done anything wrong.

Chibi is here to remind us all that rest is resistance, attention is a love language, and saying hi is always a good idea—but if you’d rather skip the pup love, she’s totally happy to chill outside your appointment.

Give her a pat next time you see her 💜 or follow along for her tips on rest, snacks, and workplace morale.

Your body is unique. Your story is yours.

At Spectrum, we meet you with expert care that respects your identity, your choices, and your goals. Whether you’re navigating hormones, gynecology, or gender-affirming care—we’re here for your journey, not some outdated protocol.

💜 Let’s make healthcare human again.

There’s nothing we love more than hearing how care feels. 💛
When our patients feel seen, respected, and empowered—that’s the win.

We’re so grateful to walk alongside you.

At Spectrum, lived experience is clinical expertise. Our care model is shaped by the wisdom of patients and providers—because healing is deeper when everyone gets to bring their whole self into the room. 🧠🩺🌈

Meet Sheila (she/her), Nurse Practitioner + Certified Nurse Midwife at Spectrum.

She brings over a decade of experience in reproductive and gender-affirming care—and a deep commitment to whole-person, trauma-informed support across the lifespan. 💛

After years in big healthcare systems, Sheila came to Spectrum looking for something better: a place where patient autonomy, trust, and therapeutic care come first. She’s found that here—and we’re so lucky to have her.

Her clinical background includes midwifery, gynecology, STI care, menopause, early pregnancy options, and gender-affirming care. She’s also a proud member of the Menopause Society and WPATH, and recently attended the UCSF National Transgender Health Summit to continue expanding her knowledge and commitment.

When she’s not in the clinic, you’ll find her skiing, climbing, biking, trail running, gardening, or gently escorting spiders back outside as our Chief Arachnid Relocation Officer. 🕷️

Say hi to Sheila in the comments!

Meet Carmina (she/her), our Office Manager + the heart of our clinic operations.

With over a decade of experience in healthcare and a passion for community service, Carmina’s the reason everything runs smoothly around here (and why your insurance questions get answered like magic).

Originally from New York and now a proud Bellingham local, Carmina brings deep expertise in billing, insurance, and patient coordination—always with warmth, care, and justice at the center.

When she’s not holding down the fort at Spectrum, she’s parenting like a pro and advocating for underserved communities. From adoption services to DV shelters, her background is all about making care more accessible for everyone.

We’re so lucky to have her leading the way. Say hey to Carmina in the comments! 💛

You’ve probably seen us talk about our new membership—and if you’ve had questions, you’re not alone. 💭

This post breaks it all down:
✔ Why we created it
✔ What’s included
✔ Why it’s required for new patients
✔ And why it’s not just a billing change—it’s a care upgrade.

At Spectrum, we’re not interested in offering “good enough” care. We want you to feel 80–100% better—not just halfway there. And that takes attention between visits, not just during them.

This model lets us show up fully for our patients—while protecting access, honoring our team’s time, and keeping the care personal.

Have questions or hesitations? We’d love to talk them through.

And if you’re a trans or nonbinary patient starting hormones—you’re exempt from the required membership. Your access comes first.
