FORM WOMEN
by Élevé
Founded by Fellowship-Trained Urologist Dr. Alaina Garbens (MD, PhD, FRCSC), FORM Women's Health by Élevé is a physician-led, assessment-first women’s health clinic focusing on pelvic health, postpartum recovery, menopause support, sexual wellness, urinary and bladder health, and regenerative medicine. Every new patient starts with a comprehensive Women’s Health Assessment.
Focus Areas: Pelvic and bladder health, postpartum recovery, perimenopause, menopause, GSM, sexual wellness and metabolic health.
Assessment-first: Every patient begins with a comprehensive Women's Health Assessment; no plan before we understand you.
Physician-led: Founded and led by Dr. Alaina Garbens, a fellowship-trained urologist with advanced expertise in minimally invasive surgery, complex urologic care, and women’s pelvic and urinary health. A PhD in surgical education from the University of Toronto, she brings academic depth, surgical precision, and a highly personalized approach to women’s health.
Regenerative options: Advanced, regenerative care where it's clinically appropriate.
Discreet and personal: Care designed around your comfort, your privacy, and follow-through over time.
Your care begins with a comprehensive Women's Health Assessment, an in-depth, unhurried consultation where we map your symptoms, your history, and what you want to feel like again.
From there, your physician-led plan is built around you and sequenced to your needs, with care that adjusts as your body and goals change over time.
Women’s health rarely sits in one lane. When clinically appropriate, your care plan may connect with FORM Life, Aesthetics, Hair, MSK, metabolic, hormone, and longevity pathways, so the right concerns are supported by the right team.
Pelvic Floor and Bladder Health: Support for leaking, urgency, frequency, pelvic heaviness, prolapse symptoms, and changes in bladder control.
Postpartum Restoration: Care for women recovering after pregnancy and birth, whether months or years later. This pathway may address pelvic floor symptoms, bladder leakage, intimacy concerns, scar or tissue changes, core recovery, and confidence returning to movement and daily life.
Perimenopause, Menopause and GSM: Support for hormonal transition and genitourinary symptoms of menopause, including vaginal dryness, discomfort, urinary changes, recurrent irritation, and intimacy concerns. Care is personalized based on symptoms, history, risk profile, and clinical appropriateness.
Sexual Wellness and Intimacy: A discreet pathway for concerns related to comfort, desire, arousal, sensation, pain with intimacy, confidence, and changes after birth, menopause, surgery, or life transitions.
UTI and Microbiome Support: Assessment and support for recurrent urinary symptoms, post-intercourse UTIs, irritation, and concerns related to vaginal or urinary microbiome balance.
Core and Abdominal Recovery: Support for abdominal wall weakness, diastasis concerns, pelvic-core coordination, posture, pressure symptoms, and return to strength after pregnancy, surgery, or body changes.
Health Optimization and Continuity: Ongoing women’s health support for patients who want a longer-term plan beyond one symptom or treatment. This pathway connects pelvic health, hormones, recovery, sexual wellness, lifestyle, and FORM’s broader campus.
FORM Women's Health by Élevé treats the concerns that sit at the centre of how women feel day to day, pelvic and bladder function, hormonal health through menopause, postpartum recovery, and sexual wellness, with the depth and continuity they deserve.
Care at Élevé is designed to improve the things that shape daily life: better bladder control and pelvic health, steadier days through menopause, renewed intimacy and confidence, and the reassurance of physician-led care built specifically for you.
This is for women navigating pelvic or bladder changes, postpartum recovery, menopause, or sexual-health concerns and who want care built specifically around them rather than squeezed into a ten-minute appointment.
Your comprehensive Women's Health Assessment is where we understand your situation and determine the right path together.
Taking the first step toward care, especially care that involves your body, your energy, your intimacy can be vulnerable. At FORM Women’s by Élevé, we don't take that lightly. We've built our consult process to do one thing above all: make you feel seen, respected, and in control.
Your care is designed to support meaningful improvements in comfort, confidence, and quality of life, with a plan that's reviewed and adjusted over time. What that looks like is specific to you, and we'll set realistic expectations together at your assessment.
FORM Women’s Health by Élevé is physician-led by Dr. Alaina Garbens and built around an integrated model of care: women deserve dedicated, assessment-first support for concerns that are often treated separately, including pelvic floor and bladder health, postpartum recovery, menopause, sexual wellness, recurrent urinary symptoms, core and abdominal recovery, and long-term health optimization.
OEvery pathway begins with a comprehensive Women’s Health Assessment, allowing your symptoms, history, goals, and comfort to be understood in context before recommendations are made. From there, Élevé combines focused women’s health expertise with access to FORM’s broader medical, regenerative, aesthetic, and longevity resources when your care calls for them.
By blending advanced diagnostics, evidence-informed therapies, functional medicine, and physician-led care, Élevé delivers proactive, whole-body support that is thoughtful, clinically grounded, and deeply personal because women’s health should be about more than treating symptoms. It should help you look, feel, and function at your best.
The Women’s Health Assessment is the entry point into FORM Women’s Health by Élevé, and the step that allows your care to begin with context, not assumptions.
Many women come to us with symptoms that overlap: bladder leakage, urgency, pelvic discomfort, painful intimacy, postpartum changes, recurrent urinary symptoms, menopause concerns, core weakness, fatigue, or changes in how they feel in their body. These concerns are often treated separately, even when they may be connected.
The assessment is designed to bring those pieces together. Your clinician will review your symptoms, health history, hormonal stage, pelvic and bladder health, sexual wellness, postpartum history, prior testing, lifestyle factors, and goals to better understand the full picture of your health. Where clinically warranted, this may also include a physical exam.
Every Women’s Health Assessment also includes baseline functional testing across body composition, lung function, and cardiovascular health.
From there, we help guide your next step, whether that means further diagnostics, pelvic health treatment, care management, regenerative options, hormone-related care, support within FORM, or a personalized Élevé pathway.
This is not a rushed consultation or a one-size-fits-all recommendation. It is a structured, physician-led starting point for women who want answers, options, and a care plan that reflects the full picture of their health. The goal is to connect what has often been treated in silos and create a plan that is specific to you, not generic.
FORM Women’s Health by Élevé is for women who have been told, directly or indirectly, that leakage, urgency, pelvic discomfort, painful intimacy, postpartum changes, menopause symptoms, core weakness, recurrent urinary symptoms, or changes in their body are just part of life.
Common does not mean something has to be ignored, minimized, or lived with.
This program is for women who want their symptoms understood together, not treated in isolation, and who want dedicated, physician-led care that leads to a clear, personalized plan.
Pelvic Floor & Bladder Health is for women experiencing symptoms such as leakage, urgency, frequency, pelvic pressure, pelvic discomfort, or difficulty trusting their bladder in daily life.
These symptoms are common, but they should not be dismissed as normal.
Postpartum Recovery is for women navigating changes after pregnancy or birth, whether recent or years later. This may include bladder leakage, pelvic heaviness, core weakness, abdominal separation, scar discomfort, pain with intimacy, or difficulty returning to movement.
We help assess what has changed, what still needs support, and how to rebuild function, strength, comfort, and confidence in a way that is specific to your body.
Menopause & Hormonal Health is for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, post-menopause or GSM symptoms, including changes in sleep, libido, bladder function, vaginal comfort, body composition, strength, and overall well-being.
You do not need to wait until symptoms feel severe to seek care. We look at hormonal stage, medical history, symptoms, risk factors, goals, and treatment preferences to help guide options that may include lifestyle support, diagnostics, hormone-related care, pelvic and bladder care, regenerative options, or broader FORM support.
Sexual Wellness is for women experiencing concerns such as pain with intimacy, vaginal dryness, reduced sensation, changes in desire or arousal, pelvic floor tension, postpartum changes, or menopause-related discomfort.
Sexual wellness is part of health, function, confidence, and quality of life. Sex shouldn't hurt. We provide a private, respectful, clinically guided space to understand what may be contributing to your symptoms and what options may help you feel more comfortable, connected, and in control of your body.
Hair thinning and hair loss can happen during major hormonal and life transitions, including postpartum recovery, perimenopause, menopause, stress, nutritional changes, and shifts in overall health.
Your assessment can help identify when hair changes may be part of a broader health picture. From there, your care plan may include women’s health support through Élevé, along with connection to FORM Hair and FORM Life where additional assessment, diagnostics, or treatment options may be appropriate.
Long-Term Health Optimization is for women who want to better understand their health beyond a single symptom. This may include changes in energy, strength, body composition, sleep, recovery, cardiovascular health, metabolic health, hormonal stage, or how they feel in their body over time.
Your Women’s Health Assessment, health history, goals, and baseline functional testing are used to support a more complete view of your health. Where appropriate, this may also include genetic mapping, advanced diagnostics, and connection into FORM’s broader campus resources.
From there, your clinician can help identify priorities, recommend next steps, and connect you with the right Élevé pathway and other FORM supports for proactive, personalized care built around your body, your goals, and your long-term health.
