Dr Kelly Teagle graduated in Medicine from the University of Queensland in 2001 and worked as a Medical Officer in the Royal Australian Air Force. She later became a GP specializing in women’s health. At age 42 Kelly experienced a disruptive early menopause, which motivated her to focus on treating menopausal issues. Then in late 2018 she founded the WellFemme Telehealth Menopause Clinic to help women access expert menopause care regardless of where they live. WellFemme now has many doctors and thousands of grateful patients located throughout the country.
In recent years Kelly’s personal experience of breast cancer led to a special interest in treating menopausal symptoms after cancer. She is also on a mission to raise awareness and improve support for health activities that reduce chronic disease in older women, helping them live healthier, happier, longer lives.
Kelly is based in Canberra where she sees patients by Telehealth and manages WellFemme. She also writes health articles and is a women’s health speaker and advocate.
