Chivas Harris, MSN, APRN, FNP-C
Founder of Opalora Hormone & Vitality Studio
As a Nurse Practitioner with experience in obesity medicine, hormone-related care, and women’s wellness — and as a woman navigating surgical menopause myself — I created Opalora for women who need more than rushed, one-size-fits-all care.
Opalora exists because women deserve answers, options, and care designed around the whole woman.
The Story Behind Opalora
For over two decades, I have dedicated my life to the art and science of nursing. My journey began with 13 years at the bedside, followed by seven years as a Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner. My clinical path has taken me through the most delicate stages of life in Hospice and Palliative Care, the complexities of Nephrology, and the transformative world of Bariatrics and Obesity Medicine.
In these roles, I learned a fundamental truth: The human body is resilient, but it requires the right environment to thrive.
In 2024, my life and my career trajectory changed forever. Following a diagnosis of breast cancer, I underwent a hysterectomy, which thrust me into surgical menopause overnight.
Suddenly, I wasn’t just a practitioner; I was a patient navigating a whirlwind of hot flashes, debilitating brain fog, and bone-deep fatigue. As I looked for solutions, I was struck by how few options existed for women like me—those seeking high-level, non-hormonal care that actually worked.
I realized that thousands of women were being told to "just push through" because their medical history limited their options. I decided that "pushing through" wasn't enough.
I founded Opalora Hormone & Vitality Studio to move women out of "survival mode" and back into the center of their own lives.
Whether you are navigating natural menopause, surgical menopause, or hormonal imbalances due to chronic stress, I am here to provide the clinical precision you deserve. I utilize my background in obesity medicine and complex chronic care to curate specialized, evidence-based pathways—including the non-hormonal protocols I once had to find for myself. Opalora was born from my own search for the care I couldn't find. You don't have to navigate this journey alone.
I’ve spent 20 years caring for others—now, I’m here to help you reclaim your vitality.
