You've Tried A Lot. So Why Do You Still Feel Stuck?
Â
You Weren't Meant to Be Treated in PiecesÂ
Â
Healthcare separates all the pieces that make you, you.
Your physical symptoms are the purview of your doctor.
Your anxiety/depression/emotional stress may be sent somewhere else.
Your questions about God are treated as if they belong in church but not in a conversation about your health.
And your personal health struggles stay private because that's the way we've been taught healthcare should look like.
But God did not design you in disconnected pieces. And He never intended for us to walk in isolation, even in our health struggles.
You are a spiritual being with a physical body, created for relationship with Him and with others. Your sleep, hormones, nervous system, emotions, beliefs, thoughts, questions, and relationships all affect one another.
In the Christian Women's Health Fellowship, we bring those pieces back together.
We don't want to replace medical care with prayer, but we also don't want to say your faith has nothing to do with your health.
You need a medical professional who can navigate the physiological issues while also holding space for your questions about God, how you think about yourself, and your relationships.Â
By addressing your body, your emotional health, your thoughts and self talk, your relationship with God, and your need for Christian fellowship, we begin re-connecting the pieces that make us whole.
Is This the Season Youâre In?
-
You wake up tired after spending the whole night in bed, because âgoing to bedâ and actually sleeping are not the same thing
-
Your anxiety, irritability, and mood swings feel harder to manage than they used to
- You feel foggy, scattered, and less sharp than you used to
-
Something feels off, but youâre not sure if itâs hormones, stress, aging, or something else
-
You keep telling yourself you should be able to handle this, but life feels harder than it used to
-
You love God, but you still feel overwhelmed, discouraged, or alone in your health, and maybe even feel guilty for feeling that way
This season is a natural part of being a woman. But it's also hard. So why do we feel like weâre supposed to figure it out on our own?
WHAT CHRISTIAN CARE LOOKS LIKE
Â
A Different Way to Walk Through This Season
Â
The Christian Womenâs Health Fellowship was created because midlife health should not be something you have to manage in separate pieces, in separate appointments, and mostly by yourself.
This is a fellowship first â a place where women walking through a similar season can have honest conversation, biblical encouragement, practical health education, and support that does not require them to pretend they are fine.
But fellowship does not replace medical care.
It surrounds it.Â
You also receive private naturopathic care and ongoing guidance from a Christian doctor who participates in the Fellowship with you â someone who knows your story, understands your plan, and walks with you as your body responds to treatment.
That means you are not just handed recommendations and left to figure out what to do when your body responds, symptoms shift, or questions come up between visits.
This is care through the whole process â not just at the appointment.

WATCH THE OVERVIEW
See How The Fellowship Works
The Christian Womenâs Health Fellowship is different from a typical appointment-based model. In this video, Iâll explain how the Fellowship brings together private naturopathic care, ongoing guidance, group support, and Christian community so you are supported while you actually implement your plan.
Youâll hear why the appointment is only the beginning, how we adjust as your body responds, and why fellowship matters in a season many women are trying to navigate by themselves.

WHAT'S INCLUDED
Support for the Appointment, the Plan, and Everything In Between
The Christian Womenâs Health Fellowship is a year-long membership designed to give you medical guidance, practical education, and Christian fellowship while you work through your health plan in real life.
NICE TO MEET YOU
I'm Dr. Tanya Paynter
Â
Iâm a licensed naturopathic physician, Christian apologist, speaker, and founder of The Christian Clinician.
I created the Christian Womenâs Health Fellowship because I kept seeing the same gap in midlife womenâs healthcare: women were leaving appointments with plans, but then trying to implement the actual process mostly on their own.
 But actual healing doesn't happen in the appointment. It happens in the days and weeks after â when you're trying to sleep, manage stress, take the supplements, adjust the medications, feed your family, show up for work, pray through discouragement, and figure out what your body is doing now.
My work brings together naturopathic medicine, biblical practices, Christian apologetics, and fellowship because I don't believe your body, faith, stress, questions, relationships, and daily life were meant to be separated into different containers.
Inside the Fellowship, my role is not just to hand you a plan. It's to help you understand what is happening as you implement it, adjust it as your body responds, and walk with you as you pursue healing in a way that honors both your physiology and your faith.

Maybe You're Still Wondering Why God Hasn't Answered Your Prayers for Healing Yet
Â
If youâve prayed for healing, tried the supplements, worked on your health, and still feel stuck, it can bring up hard questions.
Does God hear me?
Am I being punished?
Would He answer me if I had more faith?Â
The free guide, Why Hasnât God Healed Me Yet?, explores five biblical reasons God may be answering differently than you expected â while also helping you recognize how your symptoms, stress, unanswered questions, relationship with God, and need for fellowship are all connected.
It's a good place to start if you aren't quite ready to apply for the Fellowship, but you want to begin exploring how your symptoms, stress, faith, questions, and need for fellowship may be more connected than you realized.
