One in six
For many years I kept a magazine photo of a little boy in an Irish knit sweater playing by a steam. This idyllic image was the vision I upheld. I had always hoped for children in my life.
The truth was that I was ill prepared to understand the intricacies of cycle health and the impact of stress on fertility. My health provider offered little support other than to tell me to keep trying. I was then abruptly referred to a neurologist as “I wouldn’t be able to handle a baby and those migraines.” I was completely overwhelmed.
One in six couples struggles with fertility.
I never imagined that starting a family would take years, nor be filled with sorrow and so much trying. I was diagnosed with unexplained infertility. This was not a diagnosis but rather a forced step into a world of unknowns and unanswered questions. Throughout my life to this point focus and drive had led to success. Here was a problem that I couldn’t work harder to overcome. I couldn’t swiftly reason my way to a solution. This problem was different for me, as it is for you.
Confronting infertility can be exhausting. Feelings of loneliness and vulnerability are common.
This was all true of my journey. Today – every day – I’m grateful for the presence of my two sons and I remind them often that they were wanted so much!
My journey to motherhood was pivotal in my understanding of health.
My promise to you as a provider is to honor and nurture your unique health journey, to be inquisitive, compassionate, and remind you that your body is beautifully resilient.

Demystifying Acupuncture.
How exactly does acupuncture work? There’s a complex series of physiological events that

What are the benefits of a health coach?
Partnering with a health coach before conception can be an invaluable resource to help foster
health changes in support of increased fertility and overall health. In the United States, 20% of pregnant women develop associated health concerns.
Self-Advocacy for pelvic pain: Identifying pelvic pain red flags.
Your period is a barometer of health, a vital sign. Yet, throughout our reproductive years, we try
to control and even eliminate menstruation. Rather than being taught to cultivate harmony
with our menstrual cycle we try to tame it, hide it, and avoid it altogether.
