Who We Are

A clinic with a clear
purpose and a
specific patient in mind.

Xena Health opened in Henderson, Nevada as a direct response to what Cherie Little saw in her years of clinical practice: women in their 40s and 50s cycling through providers, receiving partial diagnoses, and leaving appointments without answers to the questions they most needed answered.

The clinic was built around a single organizing principle: menopause and perimenopause are the center of everything we do, not a subspecialty, not a side service. Every service radiates outward from that focus. Our focus has since expanded to include men as well, bringing that same dedicated approach to treating andropause.

Cherie
Little

DNP, FNP-C, WHNP-BC, MSCP
Clinical Background

Cherie is a doctorally prepared, dual-certified Family and Women's Health Nurse Practitioner. As a retired Air Force veteran, Cherie has experience in primary care, women's health, military medicine, labor and delivery, postpartum, medical-surgical/inpatient medicine, and aeromedical staging. She is compassionate and uses a holistic approach to treat each patient individually, and has earned a 5-star reputation as a quality provider.

Certifications & Memberships

Cherie is board-certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner by the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP), and board-certified as a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner by the National Certification Corporation (NCC). She is also board-certified as a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner through The Menopause Society. She maintains memberships with the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health (ISSWSH) and The Menopause Society.

The Path to Xena Health

During her experience as a Primary Care Provider, she met many patients seeking menopause treatment and specialist referrals for hormone concerns. Realizing a clear need for providers offering such services, Cherie became a credentialed Menopause Society Certified Provider (MSCP), and in 2023 Xena Health was created to meet the needs of women in the Las Vegas Valley seeking menopause treatment. In 2026, Xena Health recognized the same need in the Las Vegas valley for specialized care for men's health and rebranded Xena Health as a Menopause and Andropause Center of Excellence.

Cherie is co-founder of Hot Flash Heroes, a movement and event platform redefining how women experience menopause and midlife. Hot Flash Heroes exists to bring real education, trusted resources, and meaningful connection to women navigating this transition—so they no longer have to feel confused, dismissed, or alone. Through large-scale events like The Menopause Event in Las Vegas, curated partnerships, and community-driven experiences, we create spaces where women can learn, connect, and feel supported at every stage of their journey.
