Board-certified Family Medicine Physician &
North American Menopause Society-certified Menopause Specialist
Dr. Christa Waymire is a board-certified family medicine physician with 16 years of clinical experience and founder of Dragonfly Menopause Care in Chanhassen, Minnesota. After eight years in family medicine and several years in emergency medicine, she was inspired by her own perimenopausal journey to create a clinic devoted exclusively to helping women thrive in midlife and menopause.
A North American Menopause Society–certified menopause specialist, Dr. Waymire is also completing advanced training in Personalized (Functional) Medicine through the University of South Florida’s Morsani College of Medicine under Dr. Pamela Smith. Her approach blends evidence-based medical care with practical, individualized treatment—balancing hormone therapy, nutrition, lifestyle, and wellness strategies to help women regain energy, confidence, and joy at this stage of life.

Dr. Christina Manders
Board-certified Family Medicine Physician Specializing in Menopause and Midlife Women's Health
Dr. Christina Manders is a board-certified family medicine physician with more than 15 years of clinical experience caring for patients in the South Metro. She earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Minnesota–Twin Cities, attended Des Moines University College of Osteopathic Medicine, and completed her Family Medicine residency at Mayo Clinic.
​
After spending the past four years in medical education, Dr. Manders felt called back to direct patient care in a setting that allows for deeper patient relationships and a more personalized approach. Her own experience as a patient at Dragonfly Menopause Care helped spark a passion for menopause medicine and reinforced her commitment to helping women navigate midlife with confidence, knowledge, and support.
​
Currently completing her menopause certification, Dr. Manders combines the broad perspective of family medicine with a whole-person approach to care. She believes in taking the time to truly listen, understanding each woman's unique experience, and partnering with patients to create individualized plans that help them feel their best during perimenopause, menopause, and beyond.
