Nicole Sandilands, DNP, FNP, has been caring for women as a nurse for over a decade. For the past three years, she has specialized in treating breast cancer patients at a local community hospital, where she also serves as the director of sexual health and survivorship. With a solid foundation in women’s health, Nicole adopts a holistic approach, addressing both the physical and emotional needs of her patients.
Nicole earned her Doctorate in Nursing Practice from Fairfield University in 2020, having previously obtained her Master’s Degree and Family Nurse Practitioner Certification from the same institution in 2019. She is certified as a sexual health counselor and has undergone extensive training in women’s sexual health and sexual dysfunction. Additionally, she possesses extensive expertise in treating menopause and perimenopause and is actively pursuing certification as a menopause expert with the North American Menopause Society.
Her specialized training in sexual health and hormone management allows her to provide expert guidance and support tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Her profound expertise in women’s health enriches her oncology practice, allowing her to provide comprehensive and empathetic care to a complex patient population.
BePowerfuel is on a mission to empower women during the midlife transition so they are equipped with real, evidence-based guidance on menopause and perimenopause. We understand that managing perimenopause and menopause can feel overwhelming and isolating. There are many conflicting messages about when menopause occurs and the myriad of associated symptoms that make it challenging to manage. Our goal is to raise awareness about this period in a woman’s life and provide the proper education to help clients make informed decisions about their care.
As an oncology nurse practitioner, Nicole has seen firsthand the devastating impact cancer treatment can have on a woman’s sexuality and overall quality of life. Unfortunately, most healthcare providers in this field receive limited training in addressing sexual health in this patient population, leading to symptoms often being overlooked or mismanaged. Nicole is passionately committed to demystifying sexual health amongst cancer patients, raising awareness of these side effects, and supporting women through this transition with evidence-based information, advice, and personalized care.
Many health care providers lack the expertise to address hormone issues or sexual dysfunction following cancer treatment.

Additionally, I offer cancer support to help navigate the complexities of cancer treatment and survivorship care to improve your overall health and well-being during your recovery journey.
