Who we are
Empower your comeback
January is a personalized whole person approach to the key life stages of postpartum and perimenopause. With a proactive, tailored plan and dedicated concierge team, you can get the plan you need to thrive pre, during, and post life moments.
The moment of clarity: When you're juggling career demands, family responsibilities, and significant physical and emotional changes, you need more than episodic medical appointments. You need someone who sees the complete picture of your life and helps you navigate it all.
What we witnessed: Brilliant, accomplished women feeling lost and unsupported during postpartum and perimenopause. Women who could manage complex projects at work but couldn't get answers about their own bodies. Women choosing between their health and their careers because the system forced that choice.
Our founding conviction: These transitions aren't obstacles to overcome—they're opportunities to rebuild stronger, with the right support.
What women experience today
January exists because women deserve to thrive through every season of their lives, not just survive them.
No limits, just progress
Whether your goals are more clinical-based, mental health-focused or fitness aligned, we are here to unlock a care plan and support you need to be your best through postpartum and perimenopause.
You Are the Expert: We believe women when they describe their symptoms. We listen first, validate, and investigate thoroughly.
Life Doesn't Happen in Medical Silos: Your sleep affects your mood. Your mood affects your relationships. Your relationships affect your work. We see the connections that traditional healthcare misses and coordinate care across your whole life.
Your Goals Drive Your Care: Whether you want to return to competitive athletics, advance in your career, or simply feel like yourself again, your personal priorities shape every aspect of your care plan.
Evidence Meets Empathy: We combine the latest research with deep understanding of what it's actually like to be a woman navigating these transitions.
Our
commitment
Always Human: Real humans guide every decision. Your concierge team knows your story, your goals, and your concerns.
Transparent Partnership: We work with your existing doctors, not against them.
Evolving With You: As your needs change, your care evolves. We adapt with you through every stage.
Privacy & Trust: Your health information stays secure. You control what gets shared and with whom. Trust is earned, never assumed.
Continuous Learning: Every interaction teaches us how to serve women better. We're constantly refining our approach based on member feedback and emerging research.
Meet our Founder & CEO
As a new mother navigating postpartum challenges while balancing a demanding career, Huei experienced firsthand the healthcare gaps that millions of women face. Despite having access to excellent medical care and healthcare knowledge, she witnessed how the system treats these pivotal moments as isolated medical episodes rather than the complex life transitions they truly are.
"I founded January because I believe these pivotal moments should be supported with the same intensity and coordination as any other major life transition. No woman should have to choose between her health and her ambitions, or navigate these invisible years alone."
Huei brings over 15 years of experience in digital product strategy and development to January, including executive roles where she has driven innovation and growth in healthcare technology. She spent six years in the startup digital health and genomics space with a company that achieved unicorn status, where she focused on creating digital-first tools for patients and providers, and later led a Population Health division supporting research in genomic modeling for real-world applications.
The January Team

Lena Fan M.D., Chief Medical Officer
Dr. Fan is building January because she has witnessed too many women dismissed during critical health transitions—their symptoms minimized, their experiences fragmented across disconnected specialists.
Dr. Fan is an Assistant Professor of Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Bone Disease in New York City. She trained in internal medicine on the women's health track at Brown University and completed her fellowship in Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism at Columbia University Medical Center. Her clinical expertise includes osteoporosis, PCOS, thyroid, adrenal, pituitary, and parathyroid conditions, with a strong focus on women's health. In addition to patient care, Dr. Fan has conducted research on metabolic bone disease and diabetes and is dedicated to teaching future physicians. At January, she leads clinical strategy and ensures our care model is grounded in evidence-based practice while remaining deeply personalized.

Erin Adams, Chief Marketing Officer
Erin joined January because she recognized that while women were finally talking openly about postpartum and perimenopause, the healthcare system remained largely silent—offering little support during the very moments when it mattered most.
Erin brings 19 years of brand, marketing, and communications expertise to January, with deep experience leading strategies for both agencies and in-house teams. Her career spans leadership roles at American Express, Morgan Stanley, Vail Resorts, and Greenlight Financial, where she developed a proven track record of building powerful brand narratives and driving consumer engagement. With 15 years specializing in brand partnerships and experiential marketing, she excels at creating meaningful connections between brands and their audiences.
