Supporting your path to parenthood.

When trying to expand your family the process can be filled with a lot of unknowns. You may be facing challenges that were unexpected or perhaps you are looking for comprehensive information for a strong start on the path to conception. You could also be single or apart of a same sex couple and are seeking guidance on how to become a parent.

In our modern world with so much information at our fingertips there can be confusion on what is right for you. When you are equipped with a better understanding of the process, whether through natural conception or via a more clinical approach, it is possible to transform the experience of expanding your family from frustrating to empowering.

Preconception

My preconception services are for those who want to optimize their chances and for those who would like to get familiar with the services and options that are available. A big part of holistic fertility is relieving stress on the body and mind. This is where my yoga background comes in. I share relaxation techniques with all of my clients.

For heterosexual couples, this support may include getting familiar with the Fertility Awareness Method. We will work together so you can learn how to read your body’s cues, chart your cycles, and understand your cycle to hone in on your most fertile window of the month — there is no one size fits all here and most of our modern apps don’t get it right!

For single parents-to-be and same sex couples, expanding your family can get a bit more complicated. Holistic support can still play a big role in your journey, however you will likely need more assistance in creating your family. I am here to help you navigate the process and have a better understanding of what your options are before you set out to find clinical support. Having a knowledgeable support person that offers individualized, continuous, non-medical support can help lessen the stress involved with the whole experience.

Fertility Support

Trying to conceive can be exhausting, stressful, frustrating and very isolating. I am here to help fill in the gaps in our medical system — to lend an ear and to offer holistic suggestions to improve your fertility journey.

I am familiar with a wide range of reproductive health conditions. As a holistic practitioner, I offer holistic suggestions to support your own body’s healing.

I engage all of my clients in mindfulness and mediation exercises, as well as offer yoga and reflexology sessions to ease stress, support healing, and increase overall relaxation in the body and mind.

How I work

My guidance varies based on your needs. I offer a complimentary meet and greet to all of my potential clients. During this first one hour session I will get to know you and your partner, if applicable, and discover your individual struggles and/or reproductive goals.

You will then decide if you would like to purchase individual sessions with me or opt into a three month support package.

Moving forward, topics we may cover include: lifestyle and healthy eating choices, education on different clinical procedures, recommendations on other local holistic practitioners, as well as how to utilize mindfulness and yoga exercises to improve your overall health, reduce stress, and increase your vitality. I am also starting to offer reflexology to all of my clients. Currently, this is added to any three month support package at no extra charge, as I am gaining practicum hours as a student.

Want to meet me?

I would love the opportunity to be your fertility doula. It would be an honour to be the person in your corner, offering informed, compassionate support.

I aim to improve both the experience and the outcome of the pursuit to grow your family.
