My Integrative, Whole-Body Approach to Fertility Care: What I Do and How I Support You
When you decide to grow your family, you deserve care that sees all of you—not just your lab numbers or a single phase of your cycle. Fertility reflects the health of your hormones, metabolism, nervous system, gut, environment, relationships, and daily habits. It’s deeply personal. It requires compassion, clarity, and support.
As an Integrative Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner, my role is to provide guided, whole-body, patient-centered fertility support that helps you understand your unique physiology and make changes that improve your chances of conceiving—naturally or in combination with medical care.
My work is not a replacement for medical fertility treatment. Instead, it focuses on what often gets overlooked: the foundational systems that influence egg quality, sperm quality, ovulation, implantation, and early pregnancy health. And when medical fertility care is part of your journey, I collaborate openly, respectfully, and non-judgmentally to help you feel confident and supported.
Here is what working with me looks like.
1. A Deep, Whole-Person Assessment
Every person has a different fertility story. My first step is understanding yours.
I explore:
Menstrual cycle patterns
Hormone health and symptoms
Ovarian reserve markers (AMH, FSH, AFC)
Thyroid and metabolic function
Gut and microbiome health
Nutrient status
Sleep, stress, and nervous system balance
Environmental exposures
Lifestyle habits and routines
Male partner health and lifestyle
My goal is to uncover the factors—large or subtle—that may be affecting your fertility and overall wellbeing.
2. Evidence-Based Nutrition, Supplementation, and Lifestyle Strategies
Fertility improves when the body has the nutrients, environment, and support it needs to function optimally.
I create plans that focus on:
Anti-inflammatory, nutrient-dense eating
Blood sugar and metabolic balance
Gut repair and digestive support
Improving egg and sperm quality
Supporting ovulation and luteal phase strength
Reducing chronic inflammation
Enhancing mitochondrial energy (critical for egg quality)
Sleep and circadian alignment
Stress physiology regulation without judgment or pressure
Movement and strength-building routines
Reducing endocrine disruptors in a realistic, practical way
These changes support both natural conception and medically assisted cycles.
3. Personalized Supplement Protocols
Instead of overwhelming you with dozens of supplements, I create a plan based on:
Your lab work
Your symptoms
Your goals
Your medical history
Your personal preference and tolerance
Supplements may include support for egg quality, luteal function, thyroid optimization, inflammation, gut health, or nutrient deficiencies.
I prioritize sustainable, phase-appropriate guidance, adjusting over time so your protocol is manageable and effective.
4. Cycle Tracking & Ovulation Intelligence
Understanding your cycle is one of the most powerful tools you can have while trying to conceive. I teach you how to use:
Mira
Inito
Cervical mucus observation
Basal body temperature (optional)
You’ll learn:
How to confidently identify your fertile window
How to confirm ovulation
How to time intercourse effectively
What your hormone patterns mean
How to know if your luteal phase is strong enough
This empowers you with information most people are never taught.
5. Partner Assessment & Optimization
Fertility is a shared journey.
I evaluate and support your partner’s health in areas such as:
Lifestyle habits
Sleep and stress
Exercise and nutrition
Environmental toxin exposure
Semen parameters (if available)
Supplements tailored to sperm health
Optimizing male fertility often improves outcomes significantly—even when female factors are present.
6. Emotional Support and Nervous System Regulation
Trying to conceive can be emotionally overwhelming.
My work is grounded in compassion, neutrality, and realistic expectations.
I help you build:
Stress resiliency
Mind-body practices
Nervous system regulation tools
Emotional clarity and grounding during cycles
Supportive habits that reduce overwhelm
There is zero judgment—only support and guidance.
7. Collaborative Care When Medical Support Is Part of Your Journey
Some patients work with me alone; others work with me while undergoing fertility treatment.
In these cases, I help you:
Prepare your body before treatment
Understand labs and recommendations
Support egg and sperm quality during treatment
Reduce inflammation and oxidative stress
Navigate protocols with confidence
Optimize implantation factors
Feel emotionally supported between visits
I believe in collaboration, not competition.
All fertility clinicians—integrative, medical, or procedural—play valuable roles. My role is to support your physiology, education, and wellbeing alongside whatever path you choose.
8. Ongoing Guidance, Adjustments, and Support
Fertility is dynamic. Your plan evolves as your body responds, labs return, and your goals shift.
I offer:
Monthly check-ins (or as needed)
Protocol adjustments
Messaging for quick questions
Clear next steps each cycle
Holistic recommendations that grow with you
You always know what you’re working toward and why.
A Compassionate, Informed, Whole-Body Path to Conception
My approach is centered around helping you feel empowered, informed, and supported through every step of your fertility journey. Whether your path is natural, medically assisted, or somewhere in between, you will be met with evidence-based guidance, warmth, and respect for your unique story.
