Fertility-Focused Naturopathic Care for Individuals and Couples
Personalized, evidence-informed fertility support to help you understand your body, optimize your health, and confidently move toward conception.
Supporting patients trying to conceive naturally or alongside assisted reproductive care.
Who I SupportI work with individuals and couples navigating a wide range of fertility concerns, including those trying to conceive naturally or preparing for assisted reproductive treatments such as IUI or IVF.
You may benefit from naturopathic fertility care if you are experiencing:
• Difficulty conceiving
• Irregular or absent ovulation
• Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)
• Endometriosis
• Recurrent pregnancy loss
• Unexplained infertility
• Thyroid or hormone imbalance
• Irregular or painful cycles
• Low progesterone or luteal phase concerns
• Male factor fertility concerns
• Poor sperm quality or low sperm count
• Advanced maternal age concerns
• Preparing for IVF or IUI
• Coming off hormonal birth control
• Wanting to optimize fertility before trying
My ApproachFertility care is about more than timing ovulation. It requires understanding hormone function, metabolic health, inflammation, nutrient status, and lifestyle factors that influence egg and sperm quality.
My approach focuses on:
• Identifying underlying contributors to fertility challenges
• Optimizing hormone balance and ovulation quality
• Supporting egg and sperm development
• Reducing inflammation and metabolic stress
• Supporting implantation and early pregnancy health
• Helping patients advocate for appropriate testing and care
Care plans are individualized and evolve over time as your body responds.
Common Testing
in Fertility CareMany fertility challenges stem from factors that are not always evaluated early. Part of my role is helping interpret and optimize testing results.
Testing commonly reviewed includes:
Hormone Testing
• FSH, LH, estradiol
• Progesterone
• AMH
• Prolactin
• Testosterone
• DHEA
Thyroid Assessment
• TSH
• Free T3 & Free T4
• Thyroid antibodies
Metabolic Health
• Fasting glucose & insulin
• HbA1c
Nutrient Status
• Iron/ferritin
• Vitamin D
• B12 and folate
Male Fertility Testing
• Semen analysis
• Hormone assessment if indicated
Additional Testing When Appropriate
• Inflammatory markers
• Gut health considerations
• Autoimmune screening
Male Fertility
Matters TooUp to half of fertility challenges involve male factors. Lifestyle, stress, inflammation, and nutrient status significantly influence sperm quality.
Care may focus on:

• Supporting hormone balance
• Lifestyle and nutrition optimization
Couples often benefit when both partners are supported.
