MEET THE FOUNDER

I built what I couldn't find.

I didn’t start Her Reclaim because I thought women needed another supplement brand. I started it because I found myself searching for something I could not find.

I carry a BRCA gene mutation. Women in my family, including my aunt, grandmother, and great-grandmother, died from women’s cancers. To reduce my own cancer risk, I made the decision to have my ovaries removed.

I understood why I was having the surgery. What I wasn’t prepared for was what came after it.

Surgical menopause changed my hormones abruptly. The exhaustion, brain fog, emotional changes, and feeling that my body and mind no longer worked the way I expected were difficult enough. Trying to figure out what to do about them made it harder.

I had access to doctors, research, and resources, and I was still piecing together conflicting advice, prescriptions, and supplements. I had more questions than clear answers.

And I kept thinking:

If navigating hormone change was this difficult for me with access to doctors, research, time, and resources, what was happening to women without those things?

That question became Her Reclaim.

I wanted to build what I had been looking for: a company that respected women’s intelligence, acknowledged how complex hormone change can be, and made it easier to understand the options available.

I also wanted honesty.

A supplement cannot solve every problem associated with hormone change. Hormone therapy is neither something we promote nor something we oppose. Medical treatments belong in conversations between women and their qualified healthcare providers. And when the evidence for something is limited or mixed, women deserve to know that too.

Her Reclaim began with my experience, but it was never meant to be about me.

It was built for the woman trying to understand why she suddenly cannot sleep. The woman struggling to find words during a meeting. The woman experiencing her first hot flash. The woman whose ovaries were removed before she ever expected to think about menopause. The woman whose medical treatment changed her hormones. And the woman who simply knows something in her body has changed and wants credible information about what to do next.

I cannot promise women an easy transition.

I can build something that helps them navigate it with more clarity.
