about Nicole Homan

Welcome, I'm so glad you're here!

I’m Nicole, a Board-Certified Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner (WHNP-BC), Clinical Nutritionist, and founder of bēginn Health.

For 15 years, I’ve dedicated my continued education and work to women’s health and wellness, drawing from OB/GYN, reproductive endocrinology, and integrative nutrition. My focus is on creating care that is both proactive and personal, rooted in research yet responsive to the individual. I don’t believe women thrive when care is reduced to generic guidelines or symptom-chasing approaches. Instead, I take time to understand more of the whole picture and design strategies that truly support health and wellness at the foundation.

I partner with women and couples in Cincinnati and beyond, whether in person or through telehealth, to develop proactive, personalized approaches that nurture reproductive potential, support healthy pregnancies, and strengthen long-term wellness. Each plan is thoughtfully curated, balancing hormone and metabolic insights, nutrition, and lifestyle strategies with practical steps you can integrate into daily life.

I founded bēginn to reimagine what women’s health can look like: anticipatory, intentional, and supportive of the way we are designed to live well. My goal is to support you to feel both understood and equipped, walking away with clarity, confidence, and a deeper sense of connection to your health.

Whether you are preparing for pregnancy or simply investing in your long-term vitality, I’m honored to walk alongside you in this season and beyond.

To your healthiest beginnings,

The bēginn experience:

The name bēginn carries two n’s as a symbol of intentionality.

In science, an “N-of-2” reflects the smallest meaningful set of two.

For bēginn, this represents both the beginning encompassing the earliest, most formative seasons of health & the connection between two: your story and your unique biology, or you and your partner when preparing for family.

With bēginn, your care is never one-size-fits-all. Every plan is informed by your health history, labs, lifestyle, and goals. Whether you are restoring cycle balance, preparing for conception, nurturing pregnancy, or supporting your postpartum recovery, you are supported & guided with discernment and depth, honoring

you and your unique story.

Questions:

Bēginn clinical care operates as a cash‑pay practice to ensure the time and depth needed for truly personalized reproductive and hormonal care—something traditional 10–15 minute, insurance‑based visits simply don’t allow. You may provide payment at the time of booking by credit, debit card, or your HSA. Please note, bēginn does not provide a superbill for reimbursement at this time.

Bēginn clinical care is a specialized women’s health and reproductive wellness practice provided by Nicole Homan, WHNP-BC (Women's Health Nurse Practitioner). Under Ohio’s NP scope of practice, Nicole Homan, WHNP‑BC, is authorized to assess, diagnose, and prescribe within her specialty, supported by a collaborative agreement with a board‑certified endocrinologist.

You must maintain your primary care and obstetric providers for routine health screenings, acute or emergency care, and prenatal medical management.

All lab panels and supplement recommendations are individually tailored to your health history, goals, and concerns. While bēginn receives discounted rates for labs and supplements and passes along discounted pricing when available on both professional‑grade labs and supplements, you’re never obligated to move forward.

Labs: You’ll receive a personalized lab plan--hormones, nutrients, metabolic markers, etc.—but only the tests you choose after our visit will be ordered.
Supplements: Recommendations are custom‑selected for your needs; you decide which to purchase, when and where.

Your investment covers clinical review to tailor your care plan, coordination and guidance. Any labs or supplements you select are invoiced at the discounted rate when available with no pressure to order anything you don’t want.

Bēginn offers support for men’s reproductive health & wellness as part of preconception and fertility care for couples. Within the scope of practice for a Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner (WHNP-BC) and with additional board certification in Reproductive Health and Infertility (C-RHI), Nicole Homan is able to order and review semen analyses and key male fertility biomarkers (e.g., testosterone, FSH, LH, prolactin) when indicated.

This service is designed to:

Identify modifiable factors impacting sperm quality and reproductive health
Provide targeted nutrition and lifestyle strategies to optimize male fertility
Collaborate with specialists and refer if further evaluation or treatment is required

Bēginn’s goal is to address fertility as a whole-couple experience, ensuring that both partners receive clear guidance for improving reproductive outcomes.
