Dr. Nathalie McLaughlin, MD (OBGYN)

Lead Physician – Intimate Health at Sparkle

Dr. Nathalie McLaughlin is known for her warm presence, open conversations, and her ability to make even the most intimate topics feel comfortable and completely judgment-free. She has a natural way of putting people at ease, creating a space where clients feel safe, heard, and empowered to ask the questions they’ve often been afraid to voice.

Fluent in both French and English, Dr. McLaughlin brings a compassionate, down-to-earth approach to women’s health. Her passion has always been rooted in caring for women, and she has dedicated her career to supporting women through every stage of life with dignity, education, and real solutions.

Dr. McLaughlin graduated from Université de Montréal, completing her Doctorate in Medicine in 2000, followed by her specialty training in Obstetrics and Gynecology in 2005. From the start, she’s had women’s health deeply at heart, and she continues to be a strong advocate for women’s empowerment, wellness, and self-respect.

At Sparkle Lifestyle & MediSpa, Dr. McLaughlin leads all Intimate Health services, focusing on education, prevention, and long-term wellness rather than quick fixes. Her work centres on helping women feel confident, comfortable, and connected to their bodies — from postpartum changes to menopause and beyond.

She believes strongly in breaking the taboo around sex, intimacy, and aging, and in making intimate health care more accessible, approachable, and normal to talk about.

When asked what she hopes to be remembered for professionally, Dr. McLaughlin’s answer is simple and powerful:
being an advocate for women’s health and women’s empowerment.

Her best advice to clients reflects the heart of her work:
“Respect yourself and be your best self — self-care is important.”

Dr. McLaughlin is also passionate about solutions that help women maintain comfort and function long-term. If she could recommend one thing for every client, it would be treatments and support that protect intimate health — including the Emsella chair and, when appropriate, vaginal estrogen, because keeping the pelvic floor and vaginal health strong is essential for quality of life.

In her eyes, what every woman needs is simple:
anything that helps keep the vagina functional, healthy, and supported.
Because intimate health is not optional — it’s foundational.

What Dr. McLaughlin loves most about working at Sparkle is the shared vision: a bold, woman-first approach that prioritizes empowerment, honest conversations, and preventative care. Having been part of the Sparkle journey since the very beginning, she plays a key role in shaping a space where intimate health is treated with the same care, confidence, and openness as any other aspect of wellness.
