Meet Roxy

Roxy is a real cat who lives with us. And she is, frankly, a little bit of an asshole — in the most affectionate possible sense.

She will look you dead in the eye, knock your drink off the table with deliberate precision, and then meow at you about it as if you had done something wrong. She has opinions and is not interested in your feelings about them. Once she decides something is going to happen — that table needs to be cleared, that chair needs to be occupied, food needs to arrive now — that thing is happening. No exceptions, no negotiation, no apology.

This is, somewhat surprisingly, the energy I wanted to bring to an abortion clinic.

Abortion care in 2026 requires a particular kind of operational grit: the willingness to keep doing the work that helps people while a meaningful chunk of the country is busy passing laws designed to make that work harder. Softness doesn't survive that. Apologetic energy doesn't survive that.

What does survive: the willingness to do the thing anyway. The capacity to look at the situation, decide you're going to help the person in front of you, and proceed with that, regardless of the noise. That's Roxy energy applied to clinical care. She doesn't soften herself for anyone, and we don't either.

That doesn't mean the care is cold. Unbothered determination and warmth are not opposites — they're how you deliver care reliably when the system would prefer you didn't. When somebody needs abortion pills, what they need is not a provider who's agonizing over the situation. They need a provider who says yes, this is what I do, this is how it works, here's what comes next. Roxy is that way about her meals. We're that way about abortion care.

Founder and Clinical Director

Ro founded Roxy Clinic after years of providing abortion care at a previous practice and watching firsthand what access barriers cost patients — time, money, dignity, sometimes the procedure they wanted. She is trained as a nurse-midwife and women's health nurse practitioner, with doctoral-level education in nursing practice and a master's in public health. She is a Fellow of the American College of Nurse-Midwives — a professional recognition for sustained contributions to the field.

Her clinical work focuses on making high-quality abortion care easier to access, not harder. That means sliding-scale pricing starting at $0, discreet packaging that doesn't tip anyone off, delivery to whatever address the patient chooses, and telehealth consultation with no in-person visit — the operational details that make care actually accessible rather than just technically available.

Roxy Clinic is built around a clinical team of board-certified, U.S.-licensed nurse practitioners and midwives with specialized training in reproductive health. Every consultation is reviewed by a licensed clinician before any medication is sent. Our providers are licensed in each state we serve.
