Why Herun
You see her before you book
Credentials, training, rates, and availability on every profile. We verify all of it before she joins the network.
Care that names who it's for
Every specialist writes about how she cares for underserved women and why that matters in her practice. You read it in her words and decide for yourself.
One handoff, not five searches
When you need someone new, the specialist you already trust can hand you to someone she trusts. You don't start over.
Free for you, always
Specialists pay a flat subscription to be in the network. We take no commission on your care, so nobody has a reason to steer you anywhere.
How we verify
We check every credential with the body that issued it.
Not a form a specialist fills in about herself. We verify with the issuing organization, and we publish what we verified on her profile.

Doulas and sleep consultants are not licensed by the State of Texas. For these categories we verify training and certification with the organization that issued it, and every profile says which one.
Every year, Herun funds Menopause Society Certified Practitioner exam fees and Menopause Society memberships for 25 certified nurse-midwives.

Herun exists because the care is out there and women are not being connected to it.
From Nikki Richardson, founder
My career was spent getting clinicians where they were needed. The specialists women need most are the ones health systems never staffed. Herun puts them in one place and lets them stay independent.
