About Dr Ivana Matic-Stancin
MD, Dip Obs &Gyne, FRACGP, FASLM, HCANZA
Dr Ivana Matic-Stancin is a Melbourne-based medical doctor (GP) with over 25 years of clinical medical experience working with people of all ages, from various socio-economic, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds, and suffering from different medical conditions.
Dr Ivana believes in implementing a comprehensive, whole-person approach. By addressing the physical as well as psychosocial aspects of the individual, she no longer focuses only on their particular diagnosis but on the whole person in their environment. Ivana believes that is the way towards health and flourishment.
She is passionate about women’s health, particularly healthy aging during the perimenopausal transition. Her predominant focus is on Perimenopausal Health. Women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s often experience many symptoms and health challenges due to hormonal changes. Those changes usually go unrecognised, unconnected, and even dismissed. That can leave women feeling unseen, dismissed, ashamed, not “normal,” and lonely.
Only when we take a whole-person approach can we recognise the enormous impact that hormonal fluctuation in those years has had on our health and well-being. We can start seeing the solution once we factor the hormonal change into the picture.
Ivana truly believes that the perimenopausal stage of life can be a springboard towards health and flourishment.
Ivana enjoys helping women transition towards a healthy and enjoyable life.

1/ Clinical Medical comprehensive one-on-one 60-minute consultation in her GP Clinic in Braybrook, Victoria. (Contact Maxwell Medical Group for the appointment.)
2/CBT(Cognitive Behaviour Therapy) is a six-week course in a small group setting in the clinic. (Contact Maxwell Medical Group for information and the waiting list.)

"Navigating Peri/Menopause is much more than the decision to take MHT(HRT) or not.”
