There is no greater opportunity to impact the health of the next generation than during pregnancy and the months leading up to conception. As a Naturopathic Doctor my goal is to improve the health of mothers, fathers and babies by supporting the entire journey from pregnancy planning through to labour and delivery and beyond.
Pre-Conception Planning
Preparing your body for pregnancy is one important part of the journey towards parenthood. Optimizing your diet, incorporating healthy exercise and making changes to your lifestyle can prepare your body for pregnancy and set the stage for a healthy future as a family.
Fertility Support for Men and Women
1 in 5 couples struggle with infertility with suboptimal fertility affecting both men and women equally. My focus as a Naturopath is to improve the health of both parents, ensuring that they give their very best towards the next generation. I can treat and support fertility concerns including:
- Endometriosis
- Fibroids
- Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)
- Advanced maternal age
- Anovulation
- Amenorrhea
- Irregular periods
- Recurrent miscarriage
- Unexplained fertility
- IUI or IVF cycles
- Low sperm counts
- Low sperm motility
- Abnormal sperm morphology
- OAT syndrome (oligoasthenoteratozoospermia)
Pregnancy
It is a blessing to be able to support my patients on their journey into parenthood. Pregnancy is a time of great growth and change – physically, emotionally and socially. There is no greater opportunity for us to optimize the health of the next generation than during pregnancy. Naturopathic care during pregnancy can improve the health and wellbeing of both mother and child, now and in the years to come.
Naturopathic visits in pregnancy focus on nutrition, exercise and lifestyle counseling as well as information on supplements that may optimize the health of mother and baby. Your Naturopathic Doctor can also support any health concerns that arise during pregnancy including:
- Nausea and morning sickness
- Heart burn
- Immune support – cold and flu treatment and prevention
- Hemorrhoids
- Indigestion
- PUPPPs
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Aches and pains
- High or low blood pressure
- Gestational diabetes
- Blood clots
