Your Hormone Expert
I’m Dr. Norma Somohano-Mendiola, a dedicated healer and advocate for women’s health with over 30 years of experience supporting women through every stage of life. Educated at the highest level of my profession, I hold a Bachelor of Science and a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree from The University of Texas at Austin School of Nursing. Additionally, I earned a Master of Science in Nursing and certification as a Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner from The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston.
My expertise spans multiple facets of women’s health, including Labor & Delivery, Childbirth Education, Fetal Ultrasound, Obstetrics & Gynecology, and Menopause. I am proud to be a member of esteemed organizations such as the North American Menopause Society, The Institute for Functional Medicine, The American Association for Anti-Aging Medicine, The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and Nurse Practitioners in Women’s Health.
From childbirth and breast or cervical cancer to menopause and sexuality as we age, I understand the unique challenges women face—challenges that only someone who has walked this journey as a woman can truly comprehend.
I have a passion for taking a holistic approach to women’s health. By integrating personalized hormone therapy and anti-aging medicine, we can achieve optimal wellness and longevity. I invite you to join me on this path to vibrant health and a better quality of life—because every woman deserves to thrive at every stage.
