Mara Women’s Health is based in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

We can see patients anywhere in Manitoba. Most appointments can be done virtually, so you can access care no matter where you live.

Yes. We offer private, convenient virtual visits across Manitoba. Virtual care is ideal for symptom assessment, education, lab review, treatment planning, and follow-ups.

Yes; in-person visits are available when preferred and pre-arranged in Winnipeg. If an in-person assessment is recommended, we’ll coordinate scheduling and next steps with you.

No referral is needed. You can book directly with Mara Women’s Health.

We commonly support patients with:

• Perimenopause and menopause symptoms (hot flashes, sleep disruption, mood changes, brain fog, vaginal dryness)

• Period and cycle concerns (heavy, painful, irregular bleeding)

• PCOS care

• Contraception counselling and symptom-related side effects

• Weight and metabolic concerns (midlife weight changes, insulin resistance risk)

• Fatigue, low energy, and “not feeling like yourself”

• Sleep, mood, and cognitive symptoms related to hormonal shifts

If you’re unsure, start with a New Patient Education-First Consult. This visit is designed to assess symptoms, review your history, interpret any labs you already have, and create a clear, personalized plan.

Your first visit is structured and education-first. It typically includes:

• Symptom assessment and medical history review

• Review of goals and risk factors

• Lab review (if available) and discussion of what testing may be helpful

• A personalized, evidence-based care plan

• Prescriptions and treatments when appropriate

Yes. Blood work is covered by Manitoba Health if you have a valid Manitoba Health card number. If any specialized testing may not be covered, we will discuss this with you ahead of time.

Yes. When appropriate, we can prescribe medications for concerns such as contraception, cycle management, PCOS, menopause symptoms, and other women’s health concerns.

Yes, when it’s clinically appropriate and safe for you. We take an evidence-based approach and review your symptoms, medical history, and preferences, then discuss the benefits, risks, and alternatives so you can make an informed decision.

If your symptoms suggest you need an in-person exam, imaging (such as an ultrasound), or specialist input, we’ll guide you through next steps and help coordinate care within Manitoba when needed.

Many extended health plans may reimburse nurse practitioner services, but coverage varies. We can provide itemized receipts for you to submit to your insurer.

Payment is typically required at the time of booking or appointment (depending on your booking platform). You can list your accepted payment methods here (credit card, e-transfer, etc.).

Yes. Follow-ups help optimize your plan, review lab trends, adjust treatment if needed, and support long-term progress—especially for perimenopause/menopause, metabolic health, and ongoing symptom tracking.

If you’re an established patient, prescription renewals may be handled through a brief follow-up visit to ensure treatment remains safe and appropriate. Your clinic can outline the preferred process and timelines here.

We ask for 24 hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Late cancellations may be subject to a fee.
