About Sapphire
Who We Are & Why We’re Here
Hi there,
If you’ve found your way here, there’s a good chance you’ve been dismissed, told that your symptoms are normal, or been left without answers or effective support.
And yet, you know your body. You know something has changed.
At Sapphire Women’s Healthcare, we believe women deserve better than dismissal or one-size-fits-all care. You deserve to be heard, taken seriously, and supported with thoughtful, evidence-based care that reflects your unique experience.
I believe women are the experts of their own bodies. Our role is to be collaborative partners as you navigate midlife and beyond. Together, we focus on understanding what’s happening in your body, exploring options that feel right for you, and creating a path forward that helps you move beyond surviving and into truly thriving.
I’m so glad you’re here.
Laura Brown, MS, WHNP-BC, MSCP

Meet the Sapphire Squad
Sapphire Women’s Healthcare is built on connection, collaboration, and care that feels personal.
Our team, also known as the Sapphire Squad, is made up of professionals who share a commitment to thoughtful, patient-centered support. Together, we create a care experience that feels respectful, coordinated, and genuinely human.
Laura Brown, MS, WHNP-BC, MSCP, Coach (she/her)
Founder, CEO & Nurse Practitioner
Laura is the heart of Sapphire Women’s Healthcare. A board-certified Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner, she’s passionate about guiding women through every stage of life with care that’s as personal as it is empowering. Known for her blend of expertise and humor, Laura makes even the toughest conversations feel approachable. When she’s not in the clinic, you’ll likely find her on a hiking trail, wrangling her kids, or with a good latte in hand.
Erica Dee, FNP, MSCP (she/her/hers)
Nurse Practitioner
Erica is a passionate advocate for women navigating menopause and midlife health. A Family Nurse Practitioner with 26 years of experience across allergy/immunology, emergency medicine, primary care, and surgery, she's spent recent years focusing on women's health, especially menopausal care and the complex overlap with mast cell dysregulation, autoimmunity, POTS, EDS-H, ADD, and ASD. A lifelong fitness and strength coach of 30+ years, Erica brings that same discipline into her patient care plans, and she's a proud advocate for the LGBTQIA+ community, creating a space where every patient feels seen, supported, and heard. When she's not in the clinic, you'll find her with her two- and four-legged family members, at the gym, or by the water with a cold brew in hand. She's a summer girl through and through (winter can keep to itself), and always has a good crime podcast queued up.

EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT aka Right-Hand & Reception Rockstar
Gabi is the friendly face who answers the phone, greets patients, and keeps things running smoothly as Laura’s right-hand lady. With over a decade of administrative experience, she’s dedicated to supporting both patients and the Sapphire team every day.
By making sure Laura has the backup she needs, Gabi helps ensure every patient receives the best possible care. Outside the office, she’s busy keeping up with her husband and their three daughters — often fueled by group workouts, dinner with friends, or a new craft project.
