In order to hold space in our bodies to nurture a new little life, we too, need to be nurturing to ourselves. By exploring your health history, environmental toxicity exposure, lifestyle, stress responses, and bloodwork, Jennifer can develop a tailored plan to help ensure viable fertility.
Prenatal and Postnatal Care
Pregnancy can be a beautiful journey within. It is a time of self-exploration and embracement of change – physically, mentally and spiritually.
With your growing and ever-evolving body, as well as the little body within, naturopathic medicine can help support and nourish you.
Jennifer begins her naturopathic treatment plans with mothers-to-be as early as those still deciding if they are ready to conceive. She continues working with women through all three trimesters, ensuring mom and baby receive proper nutrition, and addressing pregnancy concerns including heartburn, backache, poor sleep, hemorrhoids, incontinence, nausea and fatigue.
Jennifer helps provide guidance through the decisions concerning labour and delivery as well as preparation and support through the process.
Post-natal health is an equally important part of the birthing process. With love and attention being given to your new bundle of joy, any new mother sometimes may feel neglected. This is a wonderful time to have the support of your naturopathic doctor.
Jennifer has years of experience treating post-natal depression, pelvic conditions, recovery from birth (vaginal or C-section), concerns with lactation and breastfeeding and she welcomes the opportunity to create an individualized health plan for you and your new family.
IVF and IUI
It can be an unfortunate struggle for some women to get pregnant. The act of creating life can change from something so beautiful and magical to something stressful and painful. Whether you have just decided you are ready to have a baby or if you’ve been trying for much longer, or if you are going through the IVF or IUI treatment programs, naturopathic medicine has much to offer in improving fertility success.
Jennifer works with many couples with fertility health concerns. By exploring your health history, environmental toxicity exposure, stressors on the body and mind, testing on hormone and blood levels, and overall pelvic health, she works to optimize your body’s natural ability to become pregnant. Her treatments are specifically designed and tailored to help improve fertility through acupuncture treatments, herbs, homeopathic remedies and nutritional recommendations.
