Dr. Stephanie Finn began her career as a professional cellist. Studying with some of the greatest pedagogues of the time, she graduated with a Master’s in Music performance from Yale University. Her segue into medicine was borne out of her desire to connect with people on a more intimate level. She earned her Doctor of Medicine from the University of Toronto and completed Family Practice Residency at the University of British Columbia.

After more than a decade of managing her own family practice, Dr. Finn became frustrated by the lack of information she was able to provide to her female patients seeking help with peri/menopausal symptoms. She saw them paying for expensive tests of unproven efficacy, and taking a multitude of products based on nothing other than clever marketing. She took it upon herself to pursue further education and expertise in this area. It was through this work that she was introduced to the relatively new field of women’s sexual medicine. With an awareness of the need for care in this area, she was especially drawn in by the highly collaborative approach with other professionals that it mandates.
