Meet the heart behind Merope
Owner / Founder, Medical Provider
Hi, I'm Kim, a dual-certified Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of nursing experience, more than five years in advanced practice, and a background in military service with the U.S. Air Force. I founded Merope with a clear mission: to bring thoughtful, evidence-based, and personalized care to people who are ready to take ownership of their health — body, mind, and hormones — in a way that's flexible, virtual, and deeply personal.
My journey in healthcare has taken me from bedside nursing to military service and advanced practice in psychiatric and lifestyle-focused care. I understand firsthand how our physical and emotional health are connected — and how real healing requires time, partnership, and a plan that fits your life.
That population became women in midlife specifically after watching how often hormonal and mental health symptoms get treated as separate problems — split across a gynecologist, a psychiatrist, and a primary care visit that never talks to either — when they're so often the same underlying picture.
Every client begins with Merope 90, and many continue into Merope Membership for ongoing care. Either way, what I'm offering is what's often missing in modern care: continuity, connection, and a true therapeutic alliance.

Healthy change starts with understanding your life.
You may know something needs to change, but finding the time, energy, and approach that fits can feel overwhelming. Brad offers space to pause, explore what matters to you, and turn your intentions into practical steps.
As co-founder of Merope, Brad helps men and women navigate the everyday realities of caring for their health while balancing careers, family, and changing priorities. His approach is thoughtful, relational, and encouraging—with direct, practical guidance when it’s helpful.
Before becoming a coach, Brad worked in manufacturing process engineering and program planning. What he enjoyed most was the human side of that work: mentoring colleagues, listening carefully, guiding collaboration, and helping people find their own way forward. Those experiences continue to shape how he coaches today.
Brad believes your unique life deserves a unique approach. Together, you’ll explore the habits, routines, and circumstances that influence your well-being, building on what already works and choosing changes that feel meaningful and manageable. When life shifts, you’ll recalibrate together.
Living a healthy lifestyle with his family has shaped Brad’s appreciation for the daily choices that help people feel more present for the people and experiences they love. He brings that perspective to Merope, where coaching is available independently and within the men’s and women’s integrated care programs.
“I want to understand what living well means to you—and help you find an approach that fits your life.”
