A Medical Approach
with an
Integrative Twist
Providing an integrative approach to medical health & wellness through collaborative care.
Nurse Practitioners are authorized to diagnose, order & interpret diagnostic tests, send referrals, and prescribe medication. A Nurse Practitioner (NP) is a registered nurse with advanced university education who provides personalized, quality health care to patients.
Our NP offers more than just treatment; she provides compassionate, personalized healthcare designed to empower you. She works alongside you, understanding your needs, answering your questions, and creating a tailored plan to enhance your wellbeing. With her advanced training and broad skill set she can diagnose, treat, and manage a range of health conditions, acting as your dedicated health partner on your path to optimal wellness.
Our NP’s practice focus is on bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), management & treatment of perimenopause, menopause, PCOS, andropause, low testosterone, suboptimal thyroid, thyroid disorders, and weight management. She does not provide Primary Care services.
*Appointments with Annabelle are NOT covered by Manitoba Health, however any bloodwork requested by her is.
CONDITIONS
Treated by our Nurse Practitioner
-
You may have had lab results referred to as within the “normal range”. Normal does not mean “optimal”. Our goal is to help you feel optimal! Explore what options are available to you with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT).
-
Standard laboratory thyroid tests are often insufficient to identify all cases of low thyroid function. A suboptimal thyroid may present as fatigue, loss of energy, brain fog, memory/concentration issues, brittle hairs and nails, constipation, depression/anxiety, sleep problems, and weight gain along with others. Your lab results may show your results are ‘within normal limits’ even though you are experiencing symptoms of low thyroid.
Within normal limits does not = optimal! Our NP can work with you to optimize your thyroid levels.

DIAGNOSTIC &
FUNCTIONAL LAB TESTING
Hormone optimization is essential for your health.
Your hormones affect how you feel, how you look and how you think.
What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy? (BHRT)
BHRT involves using custom compounded bioidentical hormones to relieve symptoms of hormonal imbalance. BHRT can not only be used to help provide relief from perimenopause, menopause and andropause symptoms, but it is also effective for other hormone-related conditions including polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and postnatal depression.
Whether you’re male or female, if you are struggling with symptoms related to hormone imbalance, BHRT might be the help you need!
Bioidentical hormones are used in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) and have an identical chemical structure to the naturally occurring hormones which are produced in the body. They are made from yams, soy & plants.
The most common hormones prescribed are estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and desiccated thyroid. We work with pharmacists who have additional education in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.
