Care is provided through private virtual consultations, individualized lab testing, and ongoing support. The process unfolds in two phases - Discovery and Momentum. Together, these phases provide both clarity and continued guidance as you move forward. The Discovery Package is the starting point for all new clients. During this process, we take a comprehensive look at your health history and current concerns so we can identify and address the root causes of what you're experiencing. Together, we'll create a personalized plan designed to support your hormones, energy, and overall health. Includes: Comprehensive initial consultation Personalized lab testing Second consultation with lab review and assessment Foundational care plan Clear next steps with Roadmap for ongoing care This process gives us the time and structure to fully understand what's happening in your body and carefully map the best path forward. Investment: $1500 Are you ready to get started? The first step is to schedule your free Alignment Call. ## Your Discovery Package Includes Your First Two Consultations Comprehensive intake and review of findings Personalized Lab Testing Detailed insights and answers you've been looking for Foundational Care Plan Actionable plan for you to begin right away Customized 6-12 Month Roadmap Clear and paced step-by-step plan for the path ahead BOOK YOUR ALIGNMENT CALL #### THE HAWKINS ROADMAP ## Momentum Package Once your Discovery phase is complete, your Foundational Care Plan is in place, and your Roadmap is planned, we move to implementation of your Roadmap in the Momentum Package - where the real magic happens. You'll have consistent ongoing support and guidance with regular consultations every 4-6 weeks as you move through each step in your plan. With each step, we level up while also staying focused on your goals to adjust as needed and consistently keep you moving in the right direction. Lab testing continues throughout your care to track changes and guide your next steps. This ensures we stay objective and responsive as your body begins to shift. Your plan adapts over time, focusing on one area at a time - nutrition, gut health, hormones, and metabolism - so you never feel overwhelmed or unsure of what comes next. You'll never have to figure things out alone - support is built in every step of the way. Each phase builds on the last, combining deep clinical insight with strategic, continuous care. Your investment for the Momentum Package is $500 per month for 6-12 months, depending on your Roadmap care plan. ### Nutrition Optimize your macronutrients, correct micronutrient deficiencies, discover your dietary approach, and lay the foundation for healing. ### Hormone Health Correct and/or support adrenal, thyroid, and reproductive hormone imbalances and/or transitions (based on your life phase). ### Digest & Detox Support a healthy microbiome, optimize digestion and nutrient absorption, reduce inflammation, and optimize your body’s detoxification pathways. ### Metabolic Reboot Stabilize your blood sugar, support lean muscle mass, optimize cardiovascular health, and bring back sustainable energy. ## Why You Need a Roadmap If nothing changes...well...nothing changes. You've done the research and probably found some things that help a little, but your symptoms are still impacting your life. It’s easy to tell yourself you’ll deal with it later, but later often becomes another year of pushing through and feeling worse. You need expertise and a clear step-by-step plan. When you have the right support, you can shrink time. You heal faster. Your energy returns, your mind can focus, the chaos starts to settle, and things start to feel much easier. Every step is another step in the right direction. #### LET'S GET STARTED ## I Can't Wait to Support You I’m redefining women’s healthcare by bringing compassion and curiosity back into medicine. For so long, women have been dismissed and told that fatigue, mood swings, and hormonal symptoms are normal and “part of being a woman," "just because you're a mom," or “get used to it - you're getting older.” I believe women don’t have to accept these symptoms as normal in any phase of life. I believe women deserve better. My work bridges the gap between conventional and natural medicine, helping women understand their bodies, uncover the root causes of imbalance, understand their options, and feel genuinely supported in the process of transforming their health. When medicine listens, investigates, and honors a woman’s lived experience, healing becomes possible. You can restore hormonal balance, energy, and peace of mind - and finally feel like your healthcare is working for you, not against you. When you're ready: BOOK YOUR ALIGNMENT CALL ## Frequently Asked Questions Where do you see clients? I'm located in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, so most of my clients are located in and around New Hanover, Pender, and Brunswick Counties. However, my practice is virtual, and I meet with clients online via video consultations, so you can easily meet with me from any location. Do you prescribe bioidentical hormone replacement therapy? Yes and no. I do recommend, but I do not prescribe bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. For every woman in my care who is in perimenopause and menopause, we have a thorough conversation around the pros/cons and risks/benefits of hormone therapy. This is an absolutely essential aspect of any woman's healthcare in midlife. There's a window of opportunity and an optimal timeframe for initiating hormone replacement therapy and EVERY woman deserves the right conversation at the right time so that she can make an educated choice. When appropriate, and after a woman has decided it's the best choice for her, I do include recommendations for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy in my care plans. However, I don't personally write the prescription because naturopathic doctors cannot prescribe in North Carolina. Instead, I provide local and/or online resources and referrals for my clients for all prescriptions when needed. Do you offer alternatives to hormone replacement therapy? Yes, and this is a specific specialty of mine. Hormone replacement therapy isn't the best fit for every woman, either due to individual risk factors or personal values and preferences around pharmaceutical prescriptions. In these situations, we focus on the use of evidence-based targeted nutritional and herbal support to alleviate symptoms associated with perimenopause and menopause while also optimizing long-term brain, bone, cardiovascular, and metabolic health and longevity. Do you work with women over age 65? Absolutely! The majority of my practice focuses on women who are still cycling, going through perimenopause, or in the first 5-10 years post-menopause. But I LOVE working with women well beyond menopause to support mood, cognitive function, bone density, cardiovascular and metabolic health, and longevity. Women's healthcare needs special attention through EVERY phase of life. Do you work with younger women and teens? Yes! The majority of my practice focuses on women age 30-65, but I absolutely work with women in their teens and 20s. This is such a perfect time to learn about your body and set yourself up for a lifetime of balanced hormonal health. It's also a time when women are often struggling with irregular or painful periods, PMS, PMDD, mood swings, PCOS, or endometriosis. Unfortunately, the symptoms of these conditions are often dismissed or the only treatment option offered has been oral contraceptives. You need to have a practitioner who provides the answers, options, and support that you need to make informed choices for treatment. What is the investment? Your investment in the Discovery Package is $1500. This package includes your first two consultations, comprehensive lab testing, a Foundational Care Plan that you can implement immediately, and a Roadmap with recommended steps for deeper healing. In the Discovery Package we go deep into the underlying factors (i.e. root causes) of your health concerns that are often overlooked and provide you with insight into your body and what it needs to heal. Your Roadmap will give you an overview of recommended steps for deeper transformational healing in the Momentum Phase of care if you choose to keep moving forward. The investment for the Momentum Package and phase of care is $500 per month for 6 or 12 months, depending on your Roadmap care plan. Do you take my insurance? I do not contract with health insurance companies or file insurance. You may contact your insurance company and inquire if your plan covers "out-of-network non-participating naturopathic doctors" to find out if you can submit an invoice from your consultation for direct reimbursement. How do I get my labs done? Blood draws are done at your local LabCorp. Most functional lab testing is done via home testing kits that are shipped directly to you for sample collection in the comfort of your home. In the case of home testing kits, after collection you can easily mail your samples back to the lab in the included pre-paid envelope. Will my insurance cover my labs? Lab testing ordered by Dr. Hawkins is typically not covered by insurance. However, we will always discuss recommended labs and estimated costs. Initial lab testing fees are included in your Discovery Package, so there is no additional expense. In the Momentum Package and phase of care as well as the Continuity Care membership, lab fees are paid up front and are paid directly to the lab (not to Dr. Hawkins). Again, lab fees are always discussed and paid up front to the lab, so there are never "surprise" lab billings. Can I use my HSA or FSA? The short answer is, usually, yes. Most HSA and FSA plans allow you to use funds for naturopathic care as well as labs (including functional labs) and supplements. It's important to note that you can always use your HSA or FSA card to pay for your care packages, supplements, and labs, because HSA and FSA cards run just like credit cards. However, on very rare occasions, when your plan reviews the charge, you may find out that these are not allowed expenses. Because of that rare occurrence, it's always best to contact your HSA or FSA plan and ask if naturopathic care, labs, and supplements are allowed on your plan. Do you only see women? The Hawkins Roadmap is best-suited to women who need help with symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances and midlife transitions. However, I'm happy to welcome children and men into my practice on a case-by-case basis. If you are looking for support with a pediatric or men's health concern, please send my team a message with a brief explanation of your health concern(s). Your message will be reviewed and, if approved, the response will include an invitation to set up an Alignment Call. ## CLIENT LOVE ### Dr. Hawkins is a breath of fresh air compared to the western medical care we are used to receiving. Because she views health from a holistic standpoint, she listened to all of my concerns and did a great job of helping me face my health challenges. She was also always a joy to chat with during our sessions. I highly recommend Dr. Hawkins if you are in the market for a naturopathic doctor. Erin
