NAVIGATING MIDLIFE HEALTH
Q&
Awith Dr. Taylor Hahn
Dr. Taylor Hahn is launching Via Women's Health Collective in Westfield, a direct care practice where she applies her expertise as a board-certified OB-GYN and certified menopause practitioner. Focused on comprehensive women's health with specialized midlife care, Dr. Hahn is creating a practice that prioritizes the provider-patient relationship with personalized attention.
(promotional content)
Q: As a board-certified OBGYN, what led you to focus on women's midlife health?
A: Throughout my career, I've worked in various healthcare settings from the military to large hospital systems. Along the way, I discovered my passion really lies with the gynecologic portion of women's health that often goes dismissed and unnoticed. My passion for midlife care developed when I was the physician lead at a gynecology-only practice
focused on menopause and sexual health. I fell in love with that type of work and seeing how much of a difference we could make in patients' lives.
Q: What is Via Women's Health Collective and what services do you provide?
A: We offer comprehensive women's health care with a focus on midlife care— perimenopause, menopause, and sexual health disorders. We specialize in addressing women's health concerns
that often get overlooked in typical 10-minute primary care appointments. We're a direct care practice offering both membership options and single consultation rates, bringing the focus back to the provider-patient relationship where we have time to get to know you as a person, not just your appointment time. At Via, I'm joined by nurse practitioner Amy Kinnett and practice manager Kara Hardersen, both incredible professionals I worked with previously who share
my vision for personalized women's healthcare.
Q: What does the name "Via" represent in your practice philosophy?
A: Via has origins in Latin meaning "by way of" or "path" and French “vie” meaning “life.” Our goal is to really walk with women on their life's path throughout their life's journey. We're focused on providing comprehensive women's health care that doesn't just address one specific stage but supports women throughout their lives. This name reflects our commitment to being guides and companions for women as they navigate the different health challenges and transitions they experience, rather than just treating isolated symptoms or conditions.
Q: As a certified menopause practitioner, how is your approach different?
A: Most OB-GYNs receive very little training on managing perimenopause and menopause during residency. The certification through the Menopause Society, which is internationally recognized as the expert body on evidencebased care for midlife women, shows my patients I'm not just trying to pump them full of hormone therapy that may or may not work. I'm really trying to help with longevity of life and provide care that we know is safe but also effective
Q: What advice do you have for women navigating perimenopause and menopause?
A: First, focus on education. Social media can be a free resource, but be cautious as not all accounts are evidence-based. Second, when seeing your provider, come with a specific list of questions or symptoms you want addressed—this helps maximize limited appointment times. Third, if your provider dismisses your concerns or tells you it's just a normal part of life, continue to advocate for yourself. There's a reason you're having those symptoms, and it's not all in your head.
Q: What symptoms might indicate it's time to see a menopause specialist?
A: I suggest doing it sooner rather than later. At baseline, as women, we tend to function at a low level of misery and just say, "Well, this is how it's going to be." I love to have conversations about perimenopause and menopause before you're ever at that point of misery. Knowledge is power, and being prepared means when you start having random hot flashes or waking up soaking your bed sheets in sweat, you'll know what it is and what to do. Don't wait until it's so severe that it's affecting your daily life.
Q: Why is continued gynecological care important throughout a woman's life, even after menopause?
A: I often hear patients say "I'm done with menopause" as a reason for not continuing care with a specialist. I usually respond to that by reminding patients that they are "postmenopausal" for the rest of their lives, and there are numerous aspects to their overall health that are still important to address, including preventative care, bone and muscle health, and cardiovascular health. A part of those discussions is often concern for weight management and this is a common conversation I have as it affects so many aspects of life and longevity. I often tell my patients that my goal for them is "strong, not skinny" as I want them to have the strength, mobility, and resilience to last their lifetime!

Kena Hollingsworth founded Hollingsworth Law Group with a vision for transforming family law. "I've always believed in the idea that divorce can be peaceful, respectful and kind," says Kena, whose integrated approach combines legal expertise with emotional support to guide clients through one of life's most challenging transitions.

Carmel attorney Kena Hollingsworth is redefining family law through an integrated approach that combines legal expertise with emotional support, creating a more peaceful path forward for clients during one of life's most challenging transitions.
(promotional content)
When Kena Hollingsworth opened the doors of Hollingsworth Law Group in November 2023, she wasn't just starting a new business—she was bringing to life a vision of family law shaped by her own personal journey. "I've always had this vision of doing things differently," Kena shares, her voice lighting up as she describes her mission. "I was a child of divorce…so I really went through this. This has been part of my life story from the beginning."
It's this deeply personal connection to her practice area that fuels Kena's passion and sets her firm apart. With over two decades of experience in family law, Kena brings impressive credentials to her practice. She earned her law degree from Indiana University School of Law after graduating magna cum laude from the University of Southern Indiana. Beyond her formal education, she has been recognized as a Super Lawyer for ten consecutive years and has earned numerous professional accolades throughout her career. Despite having owned her own firm since 2004, launching Hollingsworth Law Group represented something truly transformative.
"It has been the wildest, craziest journey," she admits with characteristic warmth. "Those first six to 12 months were humbling, to say the least, just to be my own everything—my own receptionist, my own administrative assistant, doing everything myself." But what started as a one-woman operation quickly blossomed. In just over a year, she has assembled a
team of like-minded professionals united by a shared philosophy. The firm's guiding principle—"Divorce Done Differently"—isn't just clever marketing. It's a fundamental reimagining of what the family transition process can be.
This vision led Kena to pursue a relationship coaching certification during the pandemic, adding to her already impressive credentials as a mediator and collaborative divorce professional. This additional training provided her with tools to help clients navigate profound emotional challenges. "The skill set that I acquired during that certification was really about understanding the other person, diffusing conflict, and learning how to communicate better," she explains.
Recently, Kena has taken this approach even further, implementing a program that incorporates certified coaches into the legal team. These professionals, who are also legal assistants, help clients work through emotional triggers and regulate their nervous systems during what can be an overwhelming process. They provide tools for minimizing conflict, developing better communication skills, and processing difficult emotions in a safe space. As Kena notes, if lawyers can help with these emotional aspects of the process, they absolutely should.
Central to Kena's vision is assembling a team that shares her values and approach. The firm has grown rapidly, with four attorneys now working alongside paralegals, legal assistants and coaches. "Every person who's joined has just had their own passion for helping people in a different way and supporting people in
Attorney Molly Lokitis joined Hollingsworth Law Group in December 2024, bringing strong trial experience and a compassionate approach to family law. Her addition to the team exemplifies the firm's growth and commitment to finding professionals who share their vision of transforming the family law experience and embodying the firm's mission of combining legal expertise with genuine empathy.
What began as a one-woman operation has quickly grown into a dynamic team of professionals united by a shared philosophy. The Hollingsworth Law Group celebrated their first anniversary in November 2024, marking a year of rapid growth and making a positive impact in their clients' lives.

a different, more profound way," she says. Despite her focus on amicable resolutions, Kena emphasizes the importance of trial readiness: "If you can't defend your clients zealously in court, then all of the efforts to settle before aren't as effective."
Kena embodies the balanced approach she advocates for clients. She credits her daily meditation practice, regular workouts with a personal trainer, and attention to her spiritual and emotional well-being for her ability to sustain her demanding schedule. "I couldn't do it otherwise," she says. "I have to make time to do that so I can be my best self to give to everyone else."
This philosophy extends to how the firm supports clients beyond legal matters. The team is committed to an integrated approach that provides support during a life-altering transition. "Relationships are such mirrors," Kena reflects. "They really do touch our deepest wounds, our deepest triggers, our deepest insecurities."
Interestingly, despite being a divorce attorney, Kena doesn't consider herself "pro-divorce." Instead, she describes herself as "pro-love," encouraging clients to make thoughtful, intentional decisions about their relationships. She often advises people to seek support through therapy or coaching before making a final decision about divorce, knowing that the more self-aware they are, the more thoughtful their choices will be—whether
that means repairing a marriage or choosing to end it.
Through Hollingsworth Law Group, Kena isn't just practicing family law—she's fulfilling a mission to transform how people experience one of life's most challenging transitions, proving that even in the midst of ending a marriage, compassion and healing are possible.
Hollingsworth Law Group is located at 30 W. Main Street in Carmel.

Follow @hollingsworth.law.group on Instagram to stay up-to-date with Kena, her practice, and the team.
Kena's commitment to self-care mirrors what she advocates for clients going through difficult transitions. Her daily meditation practice and regular exercise regimen provide the foundation for the energy and emotional resilience needed in her demanding role. This balanced approach to professional and personal well-being influences everything at Hollingsworth Law Group, from client interactions to team dynamics, creating a culture where both legal expertise and emotional intelligence are equally valued.

MORNING GLORY
Our TOp 3 Brunch DesTinaTiOns
When it comes to starting your day off right, nothing compares to a leisurely weekend brunch. We've sampled our way through Central Indiana's morning offerings to bring you our top three brunch destinations for the season.
From the tropical escape of Tipsy Mermaid's Key Westinspired delights in Zionsville, to the sophisticated elegance of The Fountain Room in the Bottleworks District, and the refreshed comfort of the newly rebranded Maple (formerly Le Peep), these establishments represent the best of what our local brunch scene has to offer. Whether you're seeking creative twists on morning classics, upscale interpretations of comfort food favorites, or island-inspired specialties that transport you to warmer shores, these three spots deliver unforgettable morning experiences worth setting an alarm for. With seasonal spring menus freshly launched and special offerings for Easter and Mother's Day on the horizon, there's never been a better time to explore these brunch gems.
By SuSan Salaz
The Fountain Room
The Fountain Room, located in downtown Indianapolis’s stylish Bottleworks District, continues to impress with its weekend brunch experience, where fine dining sensibilities elevate morning classics to extraordinary heights. Under the culinary direction of Chef Ricky Martinez, this upscale supper club has become a premier brunch destination for the city’s discerning diners.
"Our Chicken & Waffles with Korean Chili Glaze is a fan favorite," says General Manager Katie Forman. "The glaze adds a nice kick to the classic brunch duo." This innovative approach to familiar favorites extends throughout the menu, including their standout Benedict featuring braised pork belly and ancho chili hollandaise.
Spring brings exciting additions to both their brunch and dinner menus. "We have added a handful of cocktails featuring fresh spring flavors like ube, pandan and lavender just to name a few," Katie notes. These seasonal offerings complement signature drinks like the Bougie Bloody—topped with Nueske's slab bacon and poached jumbo shrimp—and their ever-popular Espresso Martini. For upcoming holiday celebrations, The Fountain Room is planning something special. "Along with our regular brunch menu, we will be offering a brunch buffet for Easter and Mother's Day," says Katie, providing the perfect opportunity to celebrate these special occasions with an unforgettable dining experience.
As part of the renowned Clancy's Hospitality group— which operates several acclaimed dining establishments throughout central Indiana—The Fountain Room benefits from the organization's commitment to exceptional service and culinary excellence. Blake Fogelsong, owner and director of operations at Clancy's, has ensured that the same attention to detail that makes their dinner service exceptional carries through to their weekend brunch offerings.
Visit The Fountain Room at 830 Massachusetts Avenue in downtown Indianapolis. For more information and reservations, find them online at thefountainroom.com and follow @the.fountain.room on Instagram.
Tipsy Mermaid Conch House & Cocktails
For an authentic slice of Key West, Tipsy Mermaid in Zionsville offers a brunch experience that transports you straight to Florida's Southernmost Point. Unlike typical brunch fare, every dish celebrates the unique flavors and cultural fusion that defines the Florida Keys’ coastal cuisine.
"Like our dinner menu, all items on our brunch menu represent our favorite brunch items in Key West," explains owner Shari Jenkins, lauding the Cuban-style French toast stuffed with house-made guava cream cheese, along with the Ultimate Croque Madame—inspired by her favorite French creperie in Key West. Several dinner favorites are on the brunch lineup as well, including the 4 Wives of Hemingway Ceviche, featuring conch, shrimp, mahi and scallops, and the Miss Key West drunken beer shrimp, named for its shrimping boat.
While bottomless mimosas are a highlight of the weekend brunch here, their signature "Conch Out" Bloody Mary topped with Key West shrimp and conch fritters, or the Instagram-worthy "Taste the Rainbow" mimosa flight are also popular. For spring, don't miss their new cocktail lineup featuring a pistachio martini and the Hemingway Social Club rum flight showcasing Papa's Pilar rums, native to Key West. Coffee enthusiasts will appreciate their direct-from-Key West Cuban Coffee Queen.
"We'll be offering our full brunch menu for Easter and Mother's Day weekends," says Shari, who encourages reservations. For island vibes in every bite with a more intimate setting, consider booking the Havana Club, their private upstairs party room that comfortably seats 14 guests.
Visit Tipsy Mermaid at 135 S. Main Street, in Zionsville. For reservations and more information, find them online at tipsymermaid. com and follow @_tipsymermaid_ on Instagram for the latest news.
Maple
A familiar breakfast favorite has a new identity. After serving Indiana for nearly 35 years as a family-owned business, they have stepped away from the Le Peep franchise and rebranded as Maple—a name that reflects their warm, welcoming atmosphere and celebrates the sweet moments that happen around the breakfast table. "We're really excited for this next chapter as Maple. We've been part of the Indy breakfast scene for years, and this rebrand feels like us growing into who we've always been," explains Director of Marketing Evyn Blackwell.
Maple operates several locations throughout central Indiana, all maintaining a commitment to fresh, local ingredients and exceptional customer service. Their Indiana Design Center location in Carmel features modern artwork, an openconcept kitchen, and an expansive covered patio perfect for enjoying spring sunshine along the nearby Monon Trail.
While the name is changing, guests can still find the comforting classics they've come to love, alongside innovative dishes like their increasingly popular Shakshuka. "It's eggs poached in a spiced tomato sauce, served with toasted sourdough and fresh fruit," says Evyn. "It's warm, cozy, and a little unexpected for brunch, but once people try it, they're hooked." Spring brings exciting seasonal additions and specials to the menu, including a Sunrise Smash Burger, Monday Blues Pancakes, and a hearty Steak and Eggs plate. For those planning Easter or Mother's Day celebrations, Maple offers group dining spaces at most locations, with mimosas flowing and a relaxed atmosphere perfect for family gatherings.
Visit any of Maple's locations (including a new site in McCordsville opening this summer), including 200 South Rangeline Road in Carmel at the Indiana Design Center. For more information, visit mapleindy.com

Founded by Chad bruiCk in 2007, outdoor environments Group (oeG) has witnessed remarkable Growth in size, serviCe and sCope over the years. today, their landsCape arChiteCture team Continues to expand, brinGinG toGether proFessionals Committed to exCellenCe in the Field. oeG's distinCtive approaCh means that eaCh Client reCeives Comprehensive expertise From initial ConCept to Final installation and maintenanCe.
The late afternoon sun casts long shadows across a meticulously designed backyard oasis. Mature trees—installed just weeks ago—already provide perfect dappled shade over a custom limestone patio. Nearby, rare flowering shrubs that would typically take years to grow are already creating a vibrant backdrop for family gatherings. This isn't a space that evolved over decades— it's the result of Outdoor Environments Group's (OEG) distinctive approach to transforming outdoor spaces into instant, lived-in
environments for their clients. "We're the only true landscape architecture services company within a design-build company in the state of Indiana," explains Chad Bruick, OEG's owner. This distinction means clients receive comprehensive expertise from the initial concept through final installation and maintenance. What sets OEG apart this spring is its exceptional approach to plant selection. They hand-select premium plant materials from growers across the country, bringing mature specimens directly "from the field to your garden."
"We can get 20-30 foot trees, 10-foot shrubs, and unique plant material that you just can't get off the shelf at your typical garden center," Bruick says. This direct-fromgrower approach not only ensures the highest quality but allows OEG to offer varieties unavailable to most landscapers. For homeowners tired of waiting seasons for their landscapes to mature, this approach offers immediate transformation and satisfaction.
Founded by Bruick in 2007, the company has seen remarkable growth in size, service and scope
over the years. Their landscape architecture team continues to expand, bringing together professionals committed to excellence in the field. The company’s technological capabilities have also advanced significantly, now including comprehensive LiDAR scanning of sites. "This allows us to scan every detail of the site and existing structures," Bruick explains, enabling a level of precision previously unavailable in landscape design. They've also broadened their geographical reach beyond Central Indiana to projects in Ohio, New York and Michigan.
Their portfolio has evolved dramatically to include significant commercial and public projects alongside their renowned residential work. Currently, they're designing the landscape for Elanco's headquarters in downtown Indianapolis, incorporating striking water features as focal points of these spaces. For OEG, however, the spaces they create aren't the end goal but the means to something more meaningful. "The space is what we do. It's not why we do it," Bruick emphasizes. "Why we do it is it creates the background for interpersonal interactions and memories and relationships that add a richness to life."
As spring arrives, homeowners have a chance to reimagine their outdoor spaces with gardens that thrive from day one. OEG's horticultural team and landscape architects ensure that plantings are not just aesthetically pleasing but functionally harmonious, considering light, soil and water requirements to create landscapes that work in perfect balance. With OEG's unparalleled expertise and commitment to excellence, your outdoor environment becomes more than a landscape—it becomes the setting for your life's most cherished memories, ready to enjoy immediately rather than seasons from now.
