Hi, I’m Marissa Cortes Mendez!
I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m a Board Certified Nurse Midwife, Family Nurse Practitioner, and Menopausal Specialist based in beautiful New Mexico who loves travel, music, dogs, and spending time with my partner. I’ve been serving women for over 15 years as a nurse and 8 years as an advanced practice nurse and am dedicated to helping women with their primary healthcare needs.
Empowering women to own their health journey.
My passion for hormone health was ignited through my own experience and struggle during perimenopause. Even as a health care provider, I didn’t have the tools or training to recognize my own symptoms. I spent years feeling exhausted, anxious, gaining weight, and unable to sleep. Despite seeing specialists, I felt dismissed by providers when I expressed my concerns. I was confused and frustrated, and I knew that something had to change.
Health care rooted in heart.
As women, we are told that a lot of our symptoms of fatigue, aches and pains, and body changes—to name a few—are “just in our heads,” “normal” and “part of life.” We deserve providers that take the time to deeply understand our needs and experiences, take our concerns seriously, as well as treat us with kindness in every interaction.
