Fertility Optimization

Are you thinking about getting pregnant in the near future? Or have experienced fertility challenges in the past? A naturopathic approach can help you increase your chances of conception, either naturally or with ART (assisted reproductive technology). Naturopathic medicine addresses all aspects of health that contribute to fertility - dietary and lifestyle factors, potential underlying medical conditions, hormonal imbalances, environmental toxins, nutrient deficits, weight, and stress.

Pregnancy Support

Your body is going through so many changes! Every pregnancy is unique and no two women will have the same experience. The rapid increase in hormones and your physical metamorphosis can cause you to manifest a whole range of different symptoms. By optimizing diet, using pregnancy-safe nutrients, herbs, and other remedies, I can help you manage concerns such as the following:

• Nausea and changes in appetite

• Heartburn

• Gas, constipation, and hemorrhoids

• Fatigue and sleep disturbances

• Urinary tract infections

• Acne

• Leg cramps, swelling, and varicose veins

• Frequent colds

• Gestational diabetes and gestational hypertension

• Reducing risk of Group B Strep colonization

• Managing pre-existing medical conditions

• Labour preparation

In addition, research has revealed that choices made during pregnancy can have lasting impacts on a child’s longterm health outlook. Optimizing pregnancy thus benefits the wellbeing of both mama and baby.

Postpartum Care

Growing a human is physically, mentally, and emotionally demanding, and a mama deserves nourishment so that the journey does not leave her depleted. Nutritional requirements are different in the “fourth trimester” as you’re recovering from pregnancy and birth, and you adjust to further changes in your sleep pattern. Postpartum care centers around education on how best to support yourself so that you are better able to care for your baby.
