Unlike traditional clinics that often rush visits or treat symptoms in isolation, Bloom offers comprehensive, integrative care that treats the whole woman—body, mind, and hormones.

    Here’s what sets us apart:

    We Listen—And We Spend Time With You

    Our visits are longer, more thoughtful, and built around conversation. We take the time to hear your story, understand your concerns, and co-create a plan that works for your lifestyle and goals.

    We Treat the Root Cause

    We combine conventional medicine with functional medicine testing to go deeper. Whether it’s fatigue, mood swings, infertility, or skin issues—we ask why it's happening, not just what to prescribe.

    We Specialize in Hormones, Women’s Health & Functional Testing

    Hormonal health is complex—and it’s our specialty. From perimenopause to postpartum to PCOS and thyroid dysfunction, our providers are trained in advanced hormone therapy, adrenal health, and metabolic restoration.

    We Integrate Wellness & Aesthetics—Holistically

    Your skin, energy, and mood are all connected. That’s why we offer regenerative aesthetic treatments like Botox, Sculptra, PRF filler, and microneedling alongside hormone optimization and gut health support—so your beauty reflects your health from the inside out.

    We’re Built by Women, for Women

    Our team of board-certified female providers brings deep expertise and a shared understanding of the challenges women face in traditional healthcare systems. We designed Bloom to be a safe, modern, woman-centered space.

    We Use a Direct-Pay Model for Transparency & Access

    We don’t let insurance dictate your care. Our membership and pay-per-visit options offer flexibility, longer appointments, and pricing you can trust—no surprise bills, no rushed visits, no insurance hoops.

    At Bloom, you’re not just another patient—you’re a partner in your health journey.
    We’re here to empower you, educate you, and walk with you through every season of womanhood.

  • At Bloom, women’s health isn’t a side offering—it’s our entire focus.

    Our board-certified nurse practitioners are specially trained in female-specific medicine, hormone therapy, functional diagnostics, and holistic care. We don’t treat women as an afterthought—we’ve built our entire clinic around understanding the unique physiology, hormonal rhythms, and health challenges women face across every stage of life.

    Here’s what makes our providers uniquely qualified:

    Board-Certified, Female Providers
    All Bloom providers are women who have pursued advanced training in gynecology, endocrinology, hormone replacement therapy, and functional medicine. They bring both clinical expertise and lived experience to every patient interaction.

    Experts in Hormones & Functional Medicine
    We specialize in treating complex hormonal conditions like PCOS, perimenopause, menopause, thyroid dysfunction, adrenal fatigue, irregular cycles, and fertility challenges. We use both conventional labs and cutting-edge functional tests (like DUTCH, GI MAP, and micronutrient panels) to uncover the root causes of symptoms.

    Whole-Woman, Lifespan Care
    From your first period to your last, from fertility to postpartum to postmenopause—we provide care that supports women at every stage. Our team understands the interconnectedness of hormones, gut health, mental health, metabolism, and skin health—and we treat them together.

    Focused on Listening, Educating & Partnering
    Our providers take the time to truly listen. We’re educators as much as clinicians, empowering you with the knowledge and tools to understand your body and make informed decisions about your health.

    We Only Treat Women—By Design
    We intentionally care only for women, because we believe focused expertise leads to better outcomes. Research shows women treated by female providers have fewer complications and better long-term health—and we’re proud to be part of that solution.

    When you choose Bloom, you’re not just choosing a clinic—you’re choosing a team of specialists who are deeply passionate about helping women feel strong, healthy, and empowered.

  • Bloom Women’s Health uses a membership-based model because we believe women deserve more time, more access, and more meaningful care than the traditional healthcare system allows.

    In most insurance-based clinics, appointments are rushed, providers are overbooked, and care is reactive—not proactive. At Bloom, we’ve created a better way. Our membership model prioritizes quality over quantity—giving you longer visits, direct communication with your provider, and a more personalized experience from start to finish.

    Here’s why we chose this model:

    More Time With Your Provider
    Membership allows us to spend 30–75 minutes with you per visit—far beyond the national average. We can dive deeper into your symptoms, review labs thoroughly, and create thoughtful, individualized care plans.

    Direct Access Between Visits
    As a member, you get secure messaging access to your provider. Whether you have a follow-up question, need support with a supplement protocol, or just want to check in—we’re here for you between appointments, not just during them.

    Care That’s Rooted in Relationship
    We believe healthcare should feel personal. By building long-term relationships with our patients, we’re able to understand your body’s patterns, track changes over time, and offer care that evolves with you.

    More Comprehensive, Holistic Care
    With the freedom of a direct-pay model, we can offer functional medicine testing, lifestyle support, hormone optimization, and preventative strategies without the limitations of insurance reimbursement guidelines.

    Transparent Pricing & No Surprise Bills
    You’ll always know what you’re paying for. Our membership tiers are clearly outlined, and there are no hidden fees, no co-pays, and no insurance barriers blocking your care.

    The membership model puts your health back where it belongs—in your hands, supported by a provider who truly knows you.

    If you’re tired of feeling rushed, dismissed, or unseen in traditional clinics, our membership-based care was built for you.

  • At Bloom Women’s Health, we offer three thoughtfully designed membership tiers to meet you where you are in your health journey. Each plan provides holistic, personalized care with consistent follow-up, direct access to your provider, and exclusive wellness perks.

  • We do not bill insurance for medical visits at Bloom Women’s Health.

    Bloom operates on a direct-pay model, which means we do not contract with insurance companies. This allows us to provide longer, more personalized visits, transparent pricing, and care that’s truly tailored to your needs—without the limitations and time constraints of traditional insurance-based practices.

    Why we don’t bill insurance:

    • We believe your care should be determined by you and your provider, not by insurance codes or coverage restrictions.

    • Our model gives us the freedom to offer comprehensive hormone testing, functional medicine, and longer visits without being limited by insurance reimbursement rules.

    • You’ll never get a surprise bill, denial letter, or rushed 7-minute visit.

    Can I still use my insurance?

    Yes, in some ways:

    • You can use your HSA or FSA cards to pay for visits, labs, and supplements.

    • We’re happy to provide a superbill upon request, which you can submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement.

    • Many of our patients still use their insurance for imaging, prescriptions, and routine lab work when possible.

    Our goal is to provide transparent, empowering, and high-quality care without insurance interference. If you have questions about how this model works or how it compares to your current care, we’d be happy to walk you through it.

  • Yes—while Bloom Women’s Health does not bill insurance for medical visits, you can use your insurance for most lab tests, imaging, and prescriptions.

    During your visit, your provider will discuss which labs or imaging are needed and help determine whether you'd prefer to go through insurance or take advantage of our deeply discounted cash-pay pricing. We always aim to offer options that align with your preferences, coverage, and budget.

    Here's how it works:

    • Lab Tests: We partner with trusted labs like LabCorp and can send your orders directly to a lab that accepts your insurance. Alternatively, if you’re uninsured or have a high deductible, you can opt for cash-pay lab pricing through Bloom, often at a fraction of the cost.

    • Imaging (Ultrasound, Mammogram, DEXA, etc.): If you need imaging, we can refer you to local imaging centers that accept your insurance. You’ll schedule the test separately, and they will bill your insurance directly.

    • Prescriptions: Any medications your provider prescribes can be filled at your preferred pharmacy and billed through your insurance, just like any traditional provider.

    We believe in giving you choices and keeping your care affordable and transparent. Whether you use insurance or opt for our cash-pay options, we’ll help you find the path that works best for you.

  • Establishing care at Bloom Women’s Health in Boise is simple—and starts with just a few clicks.

    We offer two easy ways to begin your journey with us:

    If you’re new to Bloom and want to learn more about our services, providers, or membership model, we offer a complimentary 15-minute phone call with one of our board-certified female providers.

    [Schedule your first visit → here]

    Whether you’re seeking hormone balance, fertility support, skin rejuvenation, or holistic primary care—we’re here to help you feel empowered and supported every step of the way.

  • We’re so excited to welcome you to Bloom Women’s Health! To help us make the most of your visit, we recommend bringing a few key items that will allow your provider to get a complete picture of your health.

    Please bring the following to your first appointment:

    Completed Intake Forms
    You'll receive digital intake forms before your visit. Completing these thoroughly helps us understand your health history, concerns, and goals from the start.

    Recent Lab Work or Test Results (if available)
    If you’ve had labs, imaging, or specialty testing done in the past 12 months, please bring copies or upload them to the patient portal before your appointment. These help us avoid repeating tests and give us insight into your recent care.

    List of Current Medications & Supplements
    Include the name, dosage, and frequency of anything you’re currently taking, including prescription medications, over-the-counter supplements, or herbal therapies.

    Your Questions, Symptoms, and Health Goals
    This is your time. Bring a list of concerns, symptoms, or goals you’d like to discuss—whether it’s energy, mood, cycle changes, fertility, weight, skin, or something else.

    A Valid Photo ID

    Form of Payment or HSA/FSA Card
    We are a direct-pay clinic. Payment is due at the time of service, and we accept HSA/FSA cards, credit, and debit.

    Your first appointment is about more than just paperwork—it’s about being heard, supported, and starting a partnership in your health. We can’t wait to meet you.

  • At Bloom, your first appointment is intentionally designed as a two-part experience to give you the time, attention, and personalization you deserve—especially when you're seeking care for complex or long-standing concerns.

    This structure ensures we can gather comprehensive information, order any needed testing, and create a care plan that’s truly tailored to you.

    Here’s what to expect:

    Visit 1: Your Comprehensive Intake Appointment
    This is a 60–75 minute deep dive with your Bloom provider. We review your complete health history, current symptoms, lifestyle, goals, and past lab work (if available). If needed, we’ll order labs or functional testing and begin building your individualized plan. You'll leave this visit feeling heard, supported, and with a clear next step.

    Visit 2: Your Personalized Plan Review
    Scheduled about 2–3 weeks later, this 45-minute follow-up visit focuses on reviewing your lab or test results in detail and finalizing your care strategy. This is where we fine-tune supplements, discuss long-term hormone optimization, and begin any targeted therapies or lifestyle changes.

    This two-visit approach allows us to treat the root cause—not just the symptoms—while giving you the space and time to feel truly seen.

    We’re committed to offering care that’s thoughtful, thorough, and transformative. That’s what sets Bloom apart.

  • Yes! Bloom Women’s Health offers virtual appointments for many of our services. Our providers are licensed in Idaho, Washington, and Oregon.

    We know life gets busy, and sometimes making it into the clinic isn’t easy—especially if you’re managing work, kids, or postpartum recovery. That’s why we provide convenient, HIPAA-compliant virtual visits to support you wherever you are across Idaho, Washington, and Oregon.

    Virtual visits are available for:

    • Hormone follow-ups and treatment adjustments

    • Lab review and test result consultations

    • Preconception and fertility support

    • Functional medicine and supplement planning

    • Postpartum care

    • Acute issues that don’t require a physical exam (UTIs, fatigue, skin issues, etc.)

    New patient intake visits can also be done virtually, depending on your health concerns and provider preference. If any physical exam or procedure is needed, we’ll schedule an in-person follow-up.

    Virtual care at Bloom still means personalized, in-depth visits—just from the comfort of your home.

    To schedule a virtual appointment, simply choose the “virtual” option when booking online or let our team know when you call.

  • At Bloom Women’s Health, we kindly ask for a minimum of 48 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment.

    Here’s how it works:

    • Cancellations with less than 48 hours’ notice may result in a late cancellation fee.

    • No-shows (missed appointments without notice) will also be subject to a fee.

    • This policy applies to both in-person and virtual visits.

    Because we offer longer, in-depth visits and reserve that time just for you, last-minute changes impact our ability to accommodate other patients who may be waiting for care.

  • Yes—Bloom Women’s Health operates exclusively on a membership-based model.

    This intentional structure allows us to provide the kind of care women truly need: consistent follow-up, stepwise treatment plans, and a deeper partnership between provider and patient. Unlike conventional clinics where you’re seen once and not again for months, our membership model ensures that your care is ongoing, responsive, and continuously refined.

    Why we use a membership-only model:

    Consistent Follow-Up Leads to Better Results
    True healing and hormonal balance don’t happen in a single visit. Our model ensures that we can reassess your progress, adjust treatment as needed, and support you throughout every phase of your care—not just at the beginning.

    We Don’t Rush to “Fix Everything” in One Visit
    Stepwise care allows us to prioritize what’s most urgent, introduce treatments gradually, monitor your body’s response, and prevent overwhelm. This method leads to more sustainable, long-lasting improvements.

    Ongoing Support Between Appointments
    Membership gives you direct messaging access to your provider for questions, guidance, and adjustments along the way—something that’s rarely available in traditional models.

    Better Outcomes, More Empowered Patients
    By developing an ongoing relationship with your provider, you gain clarity, confidence, and the accountability that leads to real transformation.

    At Bloom, we believe your health deserves more than a one-time visit. Our membership model is designed to deliver the depth, support, and continuity of care that women’s health truly requires.

  • Yes, memberships at Bloom Women’s Health may be canceled with a 30-day written notice after the initial 6-month commitment period.

    We ask for this commitment because our care model is designed around continuity, follow-up, and a stepwise approach to healing—something that requires time, consistency, and partnership.

    A few important notes:

    • A minimum 6-month commitment is required before cancellation is permitted.

    • All membership fees are nonrefundable, including partial months.

    • To cancel, please provide a written notice at least 30 days in advance via email or patient portal messaging.

    Even if you cancel, we’ll always be here if you choose to return to Bloom in the future. Our goal is to support you in whatever season of health you’re in—with compassion, respect, and care you can trust.

  • Yes—nurse visits are included as part of your Bloom membership. These are quick, focused appointments that don’t require seeing your provider and are designed to support your ongoing care in a convenient and efficient way.

    Nurse visits may include:

    • Lab draws ordered by your provider

    • Unlimited InBody body composition scans

    • Simple testing or treatment for common infections (e.g., UTI or yeast infection) when a provider visit is not required

    • Follow-up instructions or repeat screenings that don’t need a full consultation

    These visits are handled by our highly trained medical assistant or nursing team and are included in your membership at no additional cost.

    Our goal is to make your care seamless, accessible, and proactive—so you get what you need, when you need it, without unnecessary wait times or extra fees.

  • Yes—absolutely. If you need additional support between your regularly scheduled visits, we’re here for you.

    While each membership tier at Bloom includes a set number of follow-up visits to support ongoing care, you can always schedule extra visits as needed for new concerns, acute issues, or deeper check-ins.

    Additional visits are available at:

    • $175 per 30-minute follow-up visit

    These visits are ideal for:

    • New symptoms or concerns that arise between scheduled appointments

    • More frequent monitoring of complex or evolving health conditions

    • Acute needs like infections, physical exams, or medication adjustments

    Our goal is to provide flexible, responsive care when you need it most—without compromising the quality or continuity of your treatment. Just let us know if you’d like to schedule an additional visit outside your membership plan.

  • Yes, in many cases, Bloom Women’s Health can take over prescribing your current medications—after a comprehensive evaluation by one of our providers.

    Because we take a holistic and personalized approach, we don’t automatically refill or renew prescriptions without first understanding your full health picture. Your initial intake visit gives us the opportunity to review your medical history, current medications, labs, and overall treatment goals to ensure we’re continuing (or adjusting) medications in a way that’s safe, effective, and aligned with your body’s needs.

    Medications we commonly manage include:

    • Thyroid medications (e.g., levothyroxine, Armour, NP Thyroid)

    • Hormone therapy (e.g., estrogen, progesterone, testosterone—oral, topical, or pellets)

    • Metformin, spironolactone, and other PCOS-related meds

    • Non-controlled mood, sleep, and energy support medications

    • Nutraceuticals and supplement-based protocols

    Important to note:

    • We do not prescribe controlled substances or medications for pain management.

    • We may recommend updated labs before continuing certain prescriptions.

    • All prescribing is based on a clinical judgment and patient-provider partnership.

    Our goal is to ensure your medications are working for you—not against you—and to support your health with the most effective, evidence-based plan possible.

    Let us know at your first visit which medications you're currently taking, and we’ll walk you through your options.
