Whether you are just starting to look into enhancing your fertility or you have been at this for a while, the world of fertility can be overwhelming. You don't have to figure this out all on your own.

Traditional and natural based medicine approaches can give you insights into more nuanced elements of your fertility that modern medicine does not typically address. Each person is unique, and each life experience creates an individual body pattern of symptoms and subtleties that can influence your overall heath and fertility potential. 

​How Long Will It Take?

We treat each of the four stages of the menstrual cycle differently, moving blood and stagnation during the period, nourishing lining and follicles before ovulation, boosting ovulation, and supporting implantation and growth post ovulation. With each cycle you will see your period become more healthy and balanced. Anticipate three to four menstrual cycles as a general treatment plan. Follicles take 90 days to mature, so any changes you begin will have full benefit after this time frame.

Symptoms I See Frequently In Practice:

• light, heavy, irregular, or absent periods
• Short luteal phase, low progesterone
• PCOS, irregular or absent ovulation
• uterine lining or cervical fluid quality
• Poor ovarian response
• Recurrent miscarriage
• Unexplained infertility
• Secondary infertility
• Hormone imbalances
• painful periods (dysmenorrhea), endometriosis​
• Periods that have changed post birth control or miscarriage
• Excessive PMS symptoms
• Frequent UTIs or yeast infections
• Donor egg/sperm, single mothers by choice
• Male factor
• Stress, fatigue
• IVF, FET, and IUI cycles, pre/post embryo transfer​​

​There is no emphasizing enough how important it is for you to give your self some time for re-centering, nourishing and feeling like yourself again. I am so excited for you to get pregnant and have a healthy baby! ​
