“Femade is a sanctuary for anyone living with chronic pain. Being able to access most of the care needed to manage chronic illness under one roof is extremely convenient. Every practitioner is knowledgeable, ... and this is one of the first times I’ve felt heard/understood in my health experiences.”
Meet Anusha
I had a dream that every patient should have access to the care team of their choice, with access for day-to-day concerns and the in-between doctor’s visits. As a patient I worked tirelessly to curate my own wonder team, but even then it felt piecemeal having practitioners that did not collaborate on my care.
Femade is that dream come true. We are a collection of multidisciplinary practitioners that come together as your perfect circle of care. We work collaboratively through a trauma-informed lens, to take into consideration all of your health needs that can be approached from an allied healthcare perspective.
