About Dr. Ameya Kulkarni-Kanakiya

Dr. Ameya Kulkarni-Kanakiya is a highly regarded Obstetrician, Gynaecologist, and Certified Menopause Specialist with over thirteen years of dedicated expertise spanning maternal care and multi-stage women’s health.

She completed her post-graduate clinical training across two of Western India’s most prestigious medical institutions: Nowrosjee Wadia Maternity Hospital in Mumbai and Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital in Pune.

Following her specialization, she earned an advanced Menopause Coaching Certification, equipping her with specialized protocols to address the complex hormonal, psychological, and physical shifts that define a woman's midlife transition.

Dr. Kulkarni-Kanakiya provides expert consultations at Zynova Shalby Hospital (Ghatkopar West), ZEN Multispeciality Hospital, and Quickcare Health Speciality Clinic.

Her practice is built on the core understanding that women's healthcare requires distinct clinical strategies at every major life milestone. While she has guided hundreds of families through safe, compassionate pregnancies and detailed postpartum recovery periods, she is equally recognized for her advocacy in midlife women's health.

By breaking public stigmas and addressing metabolic, bone, and reproductive changes during perimenopause and menopause, Dr. Kulkarni-Kanakiya ensures that women no longer suffer in silence, but instead transition through this vital life stage with vitality, clarity, and comprehensive medical support.

  • Elevating menopause care into an active, transparent medical conversation to replace decades of societal silence.
