Infusing Ancient Wisdom with Modern Science
DR. MICHELE BURKLUND
Dr. Michele Burklund believes the body is always speaking, if we learn how to listen. A naturopathic physician, researcher, and educator, she has spent more than 15 years helping women decode the subtle signals behind fatigue, hormonal shifts, brain fog, and the feeling of no longer recognizing themselves.
At 44, Dr. Burklund became pregnant naturally through a deeper understanding of her body, her hormones, and the conditions that allow health to flourish. The experience transformed not only her life, but also her perspective on what is possible for women in midlife.
Her work blends modern science, hormone health, neuroscience, and whole-person medicine with a profound respect for the body's innate intelligence.
Today, her mission is simple: to help women feel at home in their bodies again, and discover that their best years may still be ahead of them.

Known for her former Santa Barbara practice, Dr. Harter became a sought-after authority in women's wellness, serving entrepreneurs, athletes, creatives, and women seeking a more thoughtful approach to hormone health. Today, she brings that same personalized care and expertise to women around the world.
She believes that when women understand their changing physiology and support it intentionally, they can thrive, not just survive, through every stage of life.

Rhea: In ancient Greek mythology, she is a mother goddess who is closely associated with the Earth.
She is the mother of the gods, as well as the goddess of the harvest, motherhood, fertility, healing, childbirth, and comfort and good living. She is the daughter of Gaia and Uranus, who represent Earth and Sky.
Her name comes from the Greek word ῥέω (pronounced as rhéo), which means “flow” and represents the source of life.
