Our Story
Four lifelong friends—a lawyer, Kim, and three medical professionals, Lisa, Lissa, and Leslie—who had been friends since high school came together over a shared realization: midlife struggles like brain fog, exhaustion, and mood swings were often misunderstood and untreated. When Kim confided in her friends about her own experiences, Lisa, a seasoned midwife, recognized a common thread among many of her patients—women were unaware that perimenopause and menopause were at the root of their symptoms.
After leaving her corporate job, Kim called Lisa and said, “Let’s do this together.” They reached out to their high school friends, Dr. Lissa Bernstein-Lawler and Dr. Leslie Renbaum, forming a team with the strategic vision and medical expertise to make a real difference. Their goal was clear: to create a trusted, personalized telehealth space where women could feel understood and find compassionate care and honest answers. With that, Female Focused was born—self-funded and launched first in California.
