Waves of Awakening

About Waves of Awakening

What is Waves of Awakening?

Waves of Awakening is a physician-run practice at 62 Derby Street in Hingham, Massachusetts, led by Julianne Arena, MD, FACOG, ABAARM. Dr. Arena practiced as a board certified OB/GYN for 15 years before shifting toward integrative and functional medicine, and she now runs this practice as its owner and medical director. The services listed are wellness programs, bioidentical hormone replacement, energy therapy, and an apothecary of selected supplements. The hormone work here centers on bioidentical estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone for women in perimenopause and menopause, built around what the practice calls a personalized process: a free discovery call, a wellness consult with Dr. Arena, a treatment phase, and ongoing follow-up. This is not a weight loss or peptide clinic; those services are not listed. It is a women's hormone and functional medicine practice, in the shape of a gynecologist's office that moved into integrative care.

What does it cost?

No prices are published for the hormone program, the wellness programs, or the apothecary products. The practice describes itself as "out of insurance," meaning it does not bill insurance and your financial arrangement is directly with the practice. In its own words: "As an 'out of insurance' practice, we care for and treat you based on your needs, not the needs of an insurance company." Beyond that, there is no stated consultation fee, no monthly figure, and no mention of whether medication costs are separate from any program fee. If you are working out whether this fits a cash-pay budget, you will need to ask directly.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask what the initial wellness consult with Dr. Arena costs, separate from the free fifteen minute discovery call. Ask whether a quoted program fee, if you're offered one, includes the cost of hormone medication or whether that is billed separately through a pharmacy. Ask whether lab testing is included in a program or charged on top of it, since the practice mentions laboratory testing as part of its approach. Ask how appointments or programs can be canceled, since none of that is spelled out. If you are considering supplements through the apothecary, ask what they cost and how they're priced, since that is also not stated anywhere.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are a woman dealing with perimenopause or menopause and want a cash-pay practice that pairs bioidentical hormone therapy with a broader lifestyle and functional medicine approach, and you are comfortable asking about costs upfront since none are posted. It is less of a fit if you are looking for weight loss medication, peptide therapy, or a practice with published pricing you can compare before you ever pick up the phone.
