Meet the Founder

Christine Umahon

AGPCNP-BC, CNN

Founder, Owner & Lead Provider

Christine is a board-certified Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner and Certified Nephrology Nurse with over 13 years of healthcare experience. Her background spans nephrology, dialysis, chronic disease care, men’s health, wellness, weight management, metabolic health, hormone optimization education, preventive wellness, and patient education.

Pause and Power Health was created from both personal and professional experience. Christine’s passion for prevention was shaped by her family story and her years in healthcare. After watching family members pass away young from lifestyle-related and metabolic health conditions, she developed a deep belief that people should not have to wait until they are seriously ill to start understanding their health.

That belief grew stronger throughout her clinical career. Her experience caring for patients with advanced chronic disease gave her a powerful perspective on the importance of early awareness, education, and proactive care. She created Pause and Power Health for patients who feel tired, overwhelmed, stuck, dismissed, or confused about their body. Many patients know something feels off, but they do not always receive the time, support, or personalized guidance they need.

Christine’s approach is compassionate, direct, educational, holistic, realistic, and judgment-free. She believes patients should be active partners in their care, not rushed past, dismissed, or left confused. Her goal is to make care feel personal, clear, supportive, and empowering.
