Preparing to have a baby is one of the most meaningful experiences in our lives. 

Preparation to conceive is key to a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby. As our fertility is a reflection of our general health and well-being….this will also most importantly, be a reflection of our little human to be.

it is good to keep in mind…Sperm has been developing in the body for 90 days…

The final stages of oocyte (cells in the ovary) development take approximately 100 days.

Preconception care adheres to the philosophy that the final stages of gamete production can be modified.

Fertility preparation and support is a chance to optimise not only your own health, in preparation for a family. You are also optimising the health of your future child and family.

Consideration of your current nutrient status, diet, lifestyle and environmental factors play a large role in the healthy development of both egg and sperm.  Therefore working with both parents to be before conception is key.

Support for both partners is the best gift you can give to your family as, sperm that develops today has been developing over 90 days and is 50% of deal.

As a naturopath I have seen many couples come to me after several attempts at IVF. Those couples that have their naturopathic health plan clearly set out for them, and follow individualised advice, have the best outcomes.

What is included in pre-conception care for improving female and male fertility.

· Individualised pre conception health checks to address any underling health issues.

· Nutrient status evaluation.

· Improving overall health and vitality

· Addressing any current underlying or overlying health issues that may be hindering conception.

· Optimise fertility tracking and timing through fertility charting using the symptothermo technique, effectiveness 99.6%

· Ensuring pathology and testing are complete and within ‘optimal & wellness’ ranges. - not ‘just good enough’ ranges.

· Egg & sperm health with removal of anything that may be thought to be harmful to health of the egg & sperm.

· Balancing hormonal cycles

· Support with your unique nutrient dense diet is in place prior to conception.

· Stress reduction techniques imperative for better fertilisation and implantation outcomes.

I use evidence-based protocols with a holistic approach, to support and prepare you for a healthy pregnancy and baby.

Whether we are working on fertility issues and working with an IVF clinic or looking to conceive naturally. Prior to conceiving is an important time to implement health giving changes.

I work with both singles and couples in consultation with all care providers, GPs, fertility and IVF specialists.  

Common issues seen in pregnancy, such as constipation, sleep issues and gestational diabetes, are also seen to be reduced with longer-term pre-natal care.

I will recommend a unique naturopathic preconception, pregnancy and labour preparation programme that is specifically for you and your families needs.
