Samantha is a GP, educator, and researcher with a special interest in hormonal health across the lifespan. She is the founder of FemaleGP, Honorary Lecturer at the University of Auckland, and Adjunct Research Associate at Monash University.
Her work centres on Hormonal Pattern Responsivity (HPR)—a strengths-based framework for understanding emotional, cognitive, and physical responses to hormonal shifts. Dr Newman integrates this approach into trauma-informed, practical care—including IUD insertions and prolapse management—and delivers national education for clinicians, corporate groups, and community audiences.
She is a member of both the Australasian and International Menopause Societies and is passionate about system-wide change in how hormonal health is recognised and managed.
