Since launching her private practice in 2014, Dr. Bathurst has spent nearly 15 years honing her skills and expanding her services.

This experience solidified her desire to help others achieve the human connection and affection we all inherently crave. Dr. Bathurst’s holistic approach addresses sexual wellness, relationship health, and mental health stabilization, ensuring no aspect of her clients’ well-being is overlooked.
