Back in 2015 when I was newly married and one year into my Naturopathic Medicine practice, my fertility challenges began.
My first major obstacle?
An ectopic pregnancy.
I was home on the couch crying and wondering where things had gone wrong. I didn’t want this to ever happen again.
As an already practicing Naturopathic Doctor, I knew I had tools in my toolbox to optimize my health so that I could conceive again, and maintain a healthy pregnancy. I just needed the right guide. This is when I found Conceive Health.
I grew up knowing conceiving and maintaining pregnancies might not be the easiest thing for me. My mother suffered an ectopic pregnancy, multiple miscarriages, and had 3 premature babies. My grandmother and aunt also suffered ectopic pregnancies and went into menopause by their early 40s.
I also knew I had some hormonal issues to figure out. I suffered from terrible acne as a teenager, lost my period for an entire year after stopping the oral contraceptive pill, and had dealt with incredible levels of stress both as a child and into my teenage and young adult years wreaking havoc on my thyroid function.
I was a tired, burned out Naturopathic Doctor who was not in a healthy position to conceive. I just didn’t know it yet.
Once I started working with Conceive Health as a patient to optimize my preconception status, I was able to get pregnant, stay pregnant and now have 2 beautiful children - Grayson and Emerson.
I knew I wanted to share the magic I had experienced in achieving healthy pregnancies. This is why I joined Team Conceive Health in 2019. It is now my mission to help my patients conceive and maintain healthy pregnancies, naturally and in some cases in combination with their fertility treatments.
