MSN, RNFA, FNPC | NORTHSTAR CEO

Laura has been specializing in women’s health and hormones for over 20 years. She is a student preceptor for up and coming nurse practitioners, lectures frequently on women’s health issues and sits on multiple educational boards in eastern Idaho.

Laura established the first independently owned and operated nurse practitioner clinic in southeast Idaho. Her approach is to provide a more personal, compassionate and thorough way of caring for people.

Her expertise ranges from plant based Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT), women’s health, thyroid problems, fatigue, insulin resistance and general family medicine. Although her knowledge and experience are extensive, Laura has made hormone replacement therapy her focus, applying this therapy to both men and women. She loves to see how BHRT changes people’s lives in so many positive ways.
