Five Stages
of Womanhood
Start where you are.
Womanhood isn’t linear — it shifts, expands, and evolves. Your care should too.
At Ova Sanctum, we meet you where you are, offering clinically grounded, deeply personal care that moves with you — from first cycles through fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and into perimenopause and beyond.
This isn’t one-size-fits-all medicine. It’s a continuum of relationship-led, midwife-guided care shaped around your body, your life, and your pace.
Book a free 20-minute consultation with Brooke Prudhomme to get clarity on where to begin based on your symptoms — or explore the offerings below and choose the path that feels right for you.
Stage 1: Menstruation
Your cycle isn’t random—it’s communication.
This stage is about learning to listen. From first menses to shifting rhythms over time, your cycle reflects your hormones, nervous system, and overall health. Not something to override—but to understand.
We support:
First menses and early cycle education
Irregular or changing bleeding patterns
PMS, mood shifts, and cyclical symptoms
Painful periods and pelvic discomfort
STI care and sexual health
Lab review and hormonal insight
Fertility awareness and cycle tracking
Choose Your Care:
A full-spectrum deep dive that reads your body like a system — not a symptom list — so you walk away with clarity, strategy, and a plan that actually works for your life.
One focused visit, sharp clinical insight — this is whole-person care that cuts through the noise, gets you clear on what’s happening in your body, and gives you grounded next steps you can actually trust.
Stage 2: Sexual & Essential Wellness
This stage is about connection: to your body, your choices, your wellbeing. From contraception to desire, infections to fertility planning—this is where clarity replaces confusion, and care becomes cohesive.
We Support:
Contraception counseling and decision-making
STI care, testing guidance, and treatment support
UTI symptoms and urinary health
Changes in libido and sexual wellbeing
Relationship to your body and sexual health
Fertility awareness and reproductive planning
Lab review and hormonal insight

Stage 3: Preconception & Conception
The beginning. The trying. The unexpected shift.
Whether you’re preparing, conceiving, or navigating loss, this stage holds both hope and uncertainty. Your body is changing. Your questions are real. You deserve care that meets you exactly where you are — with clarity, steadiness, and support.
We Support:
Trying to conceive
Cycle tracking and timing
Early pregnancy questions and symptoms
Unexpected bleeding
Pregnancy loss and recovery
Emotional support and decision-making

Trying to Conceive
A full-spectrum deep dive that reads your body like a system — not a symptom list — so you walk away with clarity, strategy, and a plan that actually works for your life.
Newly Pregnant
Up to six visits, zero overwhelm — this is focused prenatal care that meets you exactly where you are, keeps you informed and grounded, and makes sure you never move through pregnancy alone.
Seven visits, full continuity — this is prenatal care that actually stays with you, aligns your body, your choices, and your birth plan, and delivers the kind of support that changes the entire experience.
Experiencing Bleeding or Loss
Three visits, no navigating this alone — this is grounded, midwife-led support that meets you in loss with real clinical guidance, steady presence, and the kind of care that holds both your body and your grief.
Stage 4: Maternity Care
Pregnancy isn’t a series of appointments — it’s a becoming.
A quiet, powerful reorientation of your body, your identity, your life. Things are opening, shifting, asking more of you than you expected.
This is where you’re met inside of it. Supported through every layer — physical, emotional, relational — with care that doesn’t disappear between visits. We move alongside your OB-GYN or hospital team, helping you make sense of what’s happening, anchoring you when it feels like too much, and reminding you that you are not meant to navigate this alone.
We Support:
Prenatal care and ongoing guidance through pregnancy
Birth preparation and informed decision-making
Emotional wellbeing and mental health support
Coordination with your OB or hospital team
Postpartum healing and physical recovery
Newborn care and early adjustment
Feeding support, including lactation and supply guidance

Stage 5: Perimenopause & Menopause
Your body is not breaking down. It is recalibrating.
Hormones shift. Sleep changes. Mood moves differently. And often, there is very little guidance through it.
This stage is about understanding what is changing and supporting your body through it with clarity and steadiness.
Because this is not an ending. It is a transition into a different rhythm of vitality.
We Support:
Irregular cycles and hormonal shifts
Sleep disruption and fatigue
Mood changes and emotional wellbeing
Hot flashes and temperature regulation
Sexual health and changes in libido
Long-term health and vitality
