Gentlewing doesn't replace conventional medical care. We complement it by taking a whole-person, longer-view approach, spending time understanding the context behind your symptoms and supporting you with evidence-informed, individualised care. Where appropriate, we collaborate with your existing healthcare team.

Gentlewing is for women seeking a more personalised, whole-person approach to their health, particularly across hormonal, reproductive, immune and inflammatory concerns. If you feel your symptoms haven't been fully understood, you may feel at home here.

Your consultation is unhurried. We take time to understand your history, your current concerns and what you're hoping for. From there, we explore an individualised, evidence-informed plan and talk through next steps together, at your pace.

No. You don't need to have everything figured out, or a formal diagnosis, to begin. Many people come to Gentlewing precisely because they're still trying to understand what they're experiencing.

Depending on your doctor's licence, local prescribing rules and your clinical eligibility, prescription treatments such as hormone therapy or GLP-1 medication may be considered as part of your care. Your doctor will review your symptoms, medical history, current medications, relevant risk factors and reproductive plans before discussing whether a treatment is appropriate.

Gentlewing is intentionally not contracted with insurance. This allows us to set visit lengths and make clinical decisions around the care you need, rather than an insurer's reimbursement structure. You pay Gentlewing directly for your visits. However, this does not necessarily mean every laboratory test, imaging study or prescription must also be paid entirely out of pocket.

If your Gentlewing doctor recommends testing, we'll discuss the most practical way to obtain it. Depending on the test, your state and your insurance plan, your doctor may be able to order it directly. Another option may be to ask an in-network primary care clinician to review the recommendation and decide whether to place the order through your insurance. Your primary care clinician must make their own medical decision about whether the testing is appropriate. Coverage depends on your plan, network, deductible and medical-necessity requirements, so we cannot guarantee that another clinician will order a test or that insurance will cover it. If using insurance is not practical, we can discuss available self-pay testing options. With your permission, we can share our assessment, the tests being considered and the clinical reasons for requesting them with your primary care clinician.
