Kindra

Happy to share that I have taken on a new role as Co-CEO of Kindra! It's been the highlight of my career to work with this team of women, first as Head of Product Development and Education, as we made strides in women's health sectors long overdue for innovation. Now, I'm honored to step into this leadership position alongside Afshan Dosani. Together, we are excited to lead Kindra into its next phase of growth, as we expand product offerings, market share, and our community of those who find real relief. I'd like to express my deepest gratitude to Catherine Balsam-Schwaber for bringing us on as the first 2 hires, and for leading Kindra successfully through one of the toughest markets for women’s health. I'm (obsessively!) passionate about our clear mission and vision. I'm looking forward to reaching more customers, patients, clinicians, and partners, as we expand access to much-needed vaginal health and sexual wellness solutions, guidance, and resources.  A very special thank you to our incredible investors who have supported us on this journey Sam Behboudi, CFA Anna Barber M13 Anu Duggal Female Founders Fund Abby Levy Primetime Partners and many others who have continued their support. If you'd like to get involved or learn more about our work, I'd love to hear from you. Here's to the future of Kindra.

I wanted to share some exciting new developments happening at Kindra. With our recent financing complete, I am stepping into a new chapter (more to come on that later!) I am thrilled to share that Afshan Dosani and Hasti Nazem are taking on the roles of Co-CEO and Victoria Tatar as COO. Remember when we started? There was no press about menopause, no celebrity endorsements or real, open conversation. From hosting groundbreaking Couch Conversations with icons like Gloria Steinem and Gayle King, Kindra and a small band of menopause warriors broke open the dialogue on this critical women’s health issue. Now, Kindra is poised for growth, with over 2,000 doctors confidently recommending our products and exciting innovations on the way! I will stay on as an Advisor, and am incredibly excited about what the future holds for Kindra, as the team continues the mission to empower women through open dialogue, starting with menopause and expanding to include postpartum and other life-stage hormonal changes. Thank you Sam Behboudi, CFA for your support of the team. And, of course, we would not have gotten this far without my fierce investor partners, advisors and friends Anna Barber, M13, Anu Duggal, Female Founders Fund, Abby Levy, Primetime Partners, Mariah Chase, Civic Entertainment Group and countless others who understood the importance of this work, and our commitment to improving the health of women as we navigate the changes of menopause. Can't wait for the new adventures with all of you!

50% of women experience painful intimacy. We are thrilled to have Dr. Somi Javaid sharing her wisdom on ways to manage these challenges. SPOILER ALERT - it is manageable with the right support!!

Check out our CEO, Catherine Balsam-Schwaber, sharing her menopause story with Newsweek. We know every woman's journey is her own. It's important to talk out loud about how we navigate the changes in our bodies as we age. We know too well there are women feeling isolated and alone on this journey. You are not alone - we are with you!!

Menopausal gaslighting is yet another example of the health-care status quo, where women’s health concerns are historically dismissed, misdiagnosed, or under-researched. Yes! Well Good, Cathy Nelson and Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz, MD. Thank you for fighting for care for all women!!

When it comes to pleasure, there is no age limit! Thank you Business Insider and Kelly Burch for calling out what we at Kindra know to be true - women over 50 enjoy sex and want to have more of it. And thank you Dr. Juliana Hauser for telling it like it is!!

Check out our CEO, Catherine Balsam-Schwaber, when she joins  The Female Quotient 💫 for an important Power Of The Pack conversation on the menopause journey in the workplace with these incredible folks 🎉 Amber Coleman-Mortley, Catherine Hansen MD, MPH, Fay Reid, Denise Pines, Jessica Barac, Dr. Sophia Lubin and Laura Okafor Crain.

With 1 in 3 women misdiagnosed before learning their symptoms are caused by menopausal changes, we are thrilled to partner with Gennev to provide access to care options - both hormonal Rx and non-hormonal OTC. Women want to know all their options when it comes to taking care of our bodies. It's time to connect the dots and provide women the full spectrum support and care they need. Join us.

1 in 3 women are misdiagnosed by a health professional before learning they are on the menopause journey. New data from Kindra and The Harris Poll shines a light on the critical issues around why many people do not have experts they can rely on during this phase of life. Thank you Gennev, Origin, Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz, MD, Seema Shah, MD MPH, Juliana Hauser for joining forces to deliver the care we deserve!!
