Fertility Support
ND’s start helping women before conception in order to ensure the mother-to-be is at her optimal health for conception and pregnancy. Working with both partners is best as both play a role in the health of a growing fetus. ND’s focus on nutrition including assessment of appropriate nutrient intake and absorption, identifying food intolerances, weight optimizing programs, and detoxification. ND’s use a combination of herbal medicine, diet and supplements to help balance the body and make sure it is ready for conception. Acupuncture is also used for preconception to support success of fertility treatments.

Planning for a baby is a big step, one that should be well planned so mommy and baby are as healthy as can be. ND’s help in the following areas:
​
Preconception: preparing your body and uterus for conception
​
Pregnancy progression: reviewing what foods, supplements, and exercises are best at each stage
​
Pregnancy related issues: dealing with issues like morning sickness or gestational diabetes naturally
​
Birth: Support for a natural birth and a quick healing
​
Breast feeding: learning which foods and supplements are important for mom and baby
​
Naturopathic Doctors support women through preconception, pregnancy, birth and beyond.
