Why Membership Care?
Healthcare today is often rushed, fragmented, and reactive — especially when it comes to gynecology, sexual health, and menopause. Many of these concerns don’t fit neatly into short visits or one-time appointments.
Our membership model changes that by providing continuity, time, and thoughtful follow-up. We will focus on longterm outcomes, not short-term problem-solving.
Memberships support:
Longer, unhurried visits
Easier access to your clinician between appointments
Proactive management of hormones, sexual health, and metabolic changes
Care that evolves with your needs, not just annual checklists
Membership fees reflect the time, access, and coordination involved in this model. They are not insurance and do not replace insurance coverage.
Memberships require a 3-month commitment.

A women’s health nurse practitioner is a registered nurse who obtained an advanced degree (either Master’s or Doctorate) in the science of nursing as a specialist. This typically involves an undergrad degree (4-5 years) to obtain a bachelor’s degree in nursing, experience working as an RN (2 years), and then an advanced degree (2-3 years).
The advanced degree for a women’s health nurse practitioner differs from other types of nurse practitioners, since it is only focused on gynecology (and a little obstetrics/pregnancy care). So, our graduate education is highly focused and specialized.
-
A nurse practitioner’s education and training does differ from a medical doctor. A medical doctor completes a 4-year undergrad, a 4-year medical school degree, and then a 4-year (sometimes longer depending on their specialty) residency. Their education includes training in high-level skills as well, such as surgery or procedures.
Women’s health nurse practitioners are not trained to perform complex procedures or surgery. We are also not trained to deliver babies. So, we would refer to a medical doctor or other practitioner in these cases.
A simplistic way to view the similarities and differences - nurse practitioners and medical doctors are both highly trained to assess, diagnose, and treat. In Oregon and Washington, both practitioners can practice independently. A medical doctor’s scope of practice (meaning what types of care and service they can provide) is greater than a nurse practitioner. However, in areas of overlap, the quality of care, outcomes, and patient satisfaction are equal (this has been extensively studied).

Natalie Mohler is an out-of-network provider. By not contracting with insurance companies, she is able to provide comprehensive and personalized care to patients. It also allows her to minimize wait times and provide transparent pricing.
Patients are provided with the necessary clinical documentation to allow those interested to submit to insurance for out-of-network reimbursement on their own behalf.
It’s always a good idea to check your out-of-network benefits prior to scheduling.
-
Natalie has opted out of Medicare. She is able to see patients with Medicare insurance with either membership or in the same fee-for-service model as those with commercial insurance.
-
Embrace has created its model based around the patient experience. The environment is clean and comfortable, wait times are short, your comfort, privacy, and safety are top priority.
If you are visiting Embrace for the first time, you’ll be scheduled for a 90-minute intake (30-minute phone call and 60-minute appointment). This allows for adequate time to get to know you, an exam (if recommended and you consent), and further discussion of the plan.
Thanks to the cash-pay model, Embrace is able to schedule fewer patients per day, which means your provider has more availability to support you between your appointments, and it is easier to be seen quickly.
-
Embrace works with anyone assigned female at birth (AFAB). So, this includes cis women, gender non-confirming folks, non-binary folks, and trans men. If you were born with a vulva/vagina and you reside in Washington or Oregon state - we can work with you.

After you are checked in (either by the front desk or by your provider), your visit will always start with simply talking. With your clothes on.
Natalie will see you in her office (not in the exam room) to get to know you, get a thorough medical history, and discuss concerns. Then, if an exam is recommended (and you consent), you’ll be walked to the adjacent room to have an exam.
All steps of the exam will be explained thoroughly and in advance. Each step will require your verbal consent. You may have a support person with you in the room, or Embrace can provide a chaperone if that is wanted.
After the exam, you’ll be able to get dressed and meet Natalie back in her office to discuss your plan together and what the next steps are.
