Please join us in welcoming Michelle Canaviri, WHNP-BC, to Peony Women’s Integrative Health! We are so so excited to have her as a part of our team. 🌸

Michelle is a board-certified Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping women optimize their health through a personalized, integrative approach to care. With a special focus on hormone health, she works closely with patients to identify the root causes of their symptoms and create individualized treatment plans that support long-term wellness, vitality, and balance.

Michelle brings a strong clinical and academic background to Peony, earning degrees in Biology, Nursing, and Women’s Health from Mount St. Mary’s University, Shenandoah University, and Thomas Jefferson University. She was also recognized for her excellence in nursing through induction into the Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing. Before becoming a nurse practitioner, Michelle spent five years as an inpatient registered nurse caring for patients in orthopedic, neurology, and mother-baby units.

At PeonyWIH, Michelle specializes in hormone optimization and women’s wellness, supporting patients through perimenopause, menopause, reproductive health, pregnancy and postpartum care, nutrition, lifestyle medicine, and preventive health.

Known for her compassionate and collaborative approach, Michelle is committed to creating a space where women feel heard, understood, and empowered to take an active role in their health. Her goal is to do more than manage symptoms—she strives to help women restore balance, improve their quality of life, and thrive through every season.

We are so excited to have Michelle join our team and begin caring for our PeonyWIH community!

Feeling symptomatic but still being told everything looks “fine”?

That’s exactly the gap Sarah is speaking to in her talk, “You’re Not ‘Fine’: Bridging the Gap Between Labs and Real Women’s Health.”

So many women come to Peony feeling dismissed, confused, or stuck with symptoms that don’t match the answers they’ve been given. Our goal is to help connect the dots between labs, hormones, symptoms, lifestyle, and your real day-to-day experience — so you can feel heard, supported, and on track to feeling more like yourself again.

Because “fine” is not always the same as well.

Congratulations to our incredible Lactation Room team for earning the 2026 IBCLE Care Award. This is our third year of recognition for promoting, protecting, and supporting breastfeeding in our community.

The award was given for the series of community-based parent cohorts we’ve created which are designed to enhance, support, and improve the perinatal and early postpartum experience.

These cohorts—such as Gather & Grow: Family Wellness Series and Nurture & Connect: Parenting Together—were created as structured, small-group experiences for parents with infants under six months of age.

The cohorts were intentionally designed to go beyond traditional lactation support by integrating interdisciplinary expertise and community collaboration and not be cost prohibitive. Each series brought together a range of perinatal and postpartum specialists who volunteered their time and expertise, including lactation consultants (IBCLCs), mental health professionals, infant feeding specialists, bodyworkers, and other allied providers. This model allowed families to receive holistic, coordinated guidance addressing feeding, recovery, infant development, and parental well-being in one accessible setting.

Did you know we offer body composition scans at Peony Women’s Integrative Health?

You can come in for a scan only to track your progress over time, or schedule an appointment with Jessica for Strength & Movement Coaching and receive a scan at each visit as part of your care.

Scheduling with Jessica is a wonderful resource for helping patients better understand their results, what those numbers mean, and how to use that information to make thoughtful, personalized adjustments along the way. Body composition scans can be a helpful tool for tracking your health journey, measuring progress, and supporting your goals with more clarity.

Book a scan only for $30.00 or book your first consultation with Jessica to help you get a plan together to start working towards your health and wellness goals!

Ready to get started? Give Peony Women’s Integrative Health a call to book today, or schedule your appointment with Jessica online through the website link in our bio.

GLP-1s & Breastfeeding🤍

We’re kicking off a 4-part series exploring one of the questions we’re hearing more often from mothers in the postpartum season:

What do we know about GLP-1 use while breastfeeding?

In this first part, we’re covering:
• current safety updates
• what we know so far
• who may qualify for treatment
• and why individualized medical guidance matters

Here at Lactation Room and Peony Women’s Integrative Health, we believe these conversations deserve nuance, evidence-based care, and support that looks at the whole person, not one-size-fits-all advice.

If this is something you’ve been wondering about, follow along for the rest of the series as we continue the conversation around breastfeeding, postpartum health, and informed decision-making.

Save this post and share with a mom who may want this information.
