We are here to support you wherever you are in this journey. We offer healing, compassionate and supportive naturopathic services for those looking to conceive and for those struggling with subfertility or infertility. We support those who are dealing with recurrent pregnancy loss, and for those exploring adoption and next steps.
The naturopathic care provided focuses on becoming body literate, with a focus for those who wish to utilize natural family planning methods, and are looking to enhance their current reproductive health. If you are a person who is exploring these methods, or are looking to optimize your prenatal health, this can be a great and empowering starting point!
Experienced and supportive naturopathic care is provided to those using fertility-awareness based methods of family planning, which may include tracking cycle days, cervical fluid, basal body temperature and urinary metabolites. Experienced naturopathic support is provided for those using the Creighton Model FertilityCare System and for those consulting with Natural Procreative Medical Consultants (Napro Medical Consultants). This medical model of natural procreative care is centered on the work of Dr. Thomas Hilgers, Restorative Reproductive Medicine expert. Specific biomarkers of fertility are tracked and analyzed to enable families to understand each individual’s naturally occurring phases of fertility and infertility, to maintain reproductive and gynecological health. This system is used to evaluate infertility, repetitive miscarriage, abnormal bleeding, recurrent ovarian cysts, pelvic pain and premenstrual symptoms. For challenging cases, naturopathic support can be added to enhance medicine’s treatment plan.
Experienced and supportive naturopathic care is also provided to those consulting with their Family Doctor, Restorative Reproductive Medical Consultant, Fertility Specialist, Obstetricians, Gynecologists, Endocrinologists, Midwives, Nurse Practitioners, Nurses, Doulas and other healthcare team members. We can help enhance reproductive and overall health, to fill any gaps in care between specialist appointments.
How can we help you on this journey?
From a naturopathic standpoint, nutritional supplementation may be reviewed, with herbal/botanical recommendations to enhance the actions/efficacy of fertility-enhancing medications being prescribed to you. Additional recommendations may be made for those unresponsive to other treatment plans. Treatment plans can include in-office acupuncture treatments. Sustainable dietary and lifestyle recommendations are discussed to support the menstrual, follicular, ovulatory and luteal cycle phases, as well as to optimize semen health.
Are you looking to become healthier in preparation for pregnancy? Do you, or your partner, have preexisting health concerns which are affecting fertility? You are not alone.
By improving your health and addressing preexisting health concerns that may be hindering conception, we can help you in your goals to sustain a healthy pregnancy, and support you through labour and beyond.
Do you require comprehensive laboratory testing?
We can requisition blood work that could include looking at your reproductive hormone levels, thyroid health, blood sugar and insulin levels, and we can help you optimize these parameters for healthy conception and overall health. We can explore how your life’s stressors affect your hormonal health, and how we can improve your body’s restoration process. We have experience interpreting urinary hormones and hormone metabolites in relation to hormone balance for complex cases.
