Founded on Listening, Grounded in Evidence

FOUNDER & MEDICAL DIRECTOR

Dr. Esnielle Brooks is a Family Physician and the Founder and Medical Director of The Menopause Clinic in Red Deer, Alberta. With nearly two decades in medicine, her career has taken her from rural emergency medicine and obstetrics in South Africa to family medicine and women's healthcare in Canada.

Her Evidence-based Approach To Care

Her clinical philosophy combines evidence-based medicine, shared decision-making, and individualized care. She helps women understand their symptoms, explore their options, and make informed decisions, because every woman deserves to be heard, taken seriously, and actively involved in her care.

Listen. Educate. Partner.

Menopause is not simply the end of menstruation. It is an important transition and an opportunity to look ahead. Symptoms are real, effective treatment exists, and these years are key to protecting long-term cardiovascular, bone, metabolic, sexual, and musculoskeletal health.

Good healthcare always begins with listening

Dr. Brooks believes good healthcare begins with listening. No two women experience menopause the same way, treatment should never be one-size-fits-all, and no woman should simply have to tolerate symptoms or accept a declining quality of life as part of aging.

A Vision for Something Different

Over time, her focus turned to perimenopause, menopause, and midlife health. She saw how often women struggled to find answers, had their symptoms dismissed, and faced fragmented care during this important stage of life.

She believed women deserved better. What began as a focused menopause practice grew into something much bigger: a place where women can access expert medical care while also addressing the many interconnected aspects of health that influence how they feel and function as they age.

Today, the clinic brings menopause medicine, preventive healthcare, pelvic health, strength and longevity, nutrition, mental wellbeing, restorative treatments, and medical aesthetics under one roof, helping women preserve their health, strength, and independence, and feel confident in the years ahead.

Where Dr. Brooks Finds Her Balance

BEYOND THE CLINIC

She treasures time spent with her husband, children, and loved ones, and cherishes the simple everyday moments that bring them all together.

Outside of medicine, Dr. Brooks' greatest passions are her family and travelling the world together.

She loves exploring new places, experiencing different cultures, and making memories together, whether close to home or halfway around the world.

Her family has also been such an important part of building The Menopause Clinic, supporting her vision as it has grown from an idea into the clinic it is today.

“I didn't set out to build a menopause clinic. But every patient I couldn't fully help along the way was pointing me there.”

— Dr. Esnielle Brooks, Founder.
