Pregnancy
I specialize in holistic fertility and prenatal care. Many of my patients initially establish care for fertility and continue to receive care throughout pregnancy and postpartum. Naturopathic and Chinese medicine are extremely helpful during pregnancy. Many people experience symptoms such as:
– Nausea
– Fatigue
– Mood swings
– Muscle Cramps
– Dizziness
– Reflux
– Insomnia
Most of which conventional medicine is unable to treat. I recommend safe and effective treatments that can be modified throughout your pregnancy.
I require all prenatal patients to have either an OB-GYN, midwife, or family physician supervising their pregnancy. I am adjunctive care only. I am always available to answer any questions you have regarding your pregnancy. I play a supporting role and will spend the time to make sure you’re comfortable with, and knowledgeable about, your birth plan, what to expect along the way, and things to anticipate once your baby is born.
What to Expect
Your First Pregnancy Visit
Your first visit is an in-depth visit covering all relevant details about your health history, how you conceived and details about any symptoms you may be experiencing. We will discuss factors such as sleep, nutrition, stress and much more. I will review prior evaluations and lab work you have done and recommend any additional diagnostic testing that may be needed. You will leave the visit with tools that you can implement right away.
You will receive a customized nutrition and lifestyle plan as well as customized supplement and herbal recommendations.
