Fertility & preconception

Optimize your body’s fertility.

Whether you’re preparing to get pregnant for the first time or you’ve been struggling to conceive, optimizing your body’s fertility is exciting and overwhelming, and can be very stressful.

Flora Naturopathics offers personalized plans to optimize women’s bodies in the months before conception so that pregnancy and childbirth are easier and more enjoyable, and so your child is as healthy as can be. And for women who haven’t found it as easy to get pregnant, our doctors dig below the conventional medicine surface to find out where the barriers to conception lie.

Our goal is to give you more answers, more options, and therefore more control over your reproductive health.

Many questions arise

There are no one-size-fits-all answers.

It takes intention and planning to avoid the pitfalls that can undermine your best pregnancy. But what really matters? The factors that impact fertility are numerous, and what our naturopaths have discovered in years of helping women get pregnant is that the answers are personal.

What should I eat, and do I need to do a detox?

Are my hormone levels okay? Can I balance them naturally?

Am I missing any major vitamins or nutrients?

When should I stop birth control, and will my period come back right away?

Is my stressful job impacting my ability to get pregnant?

I have PCOS, endometriosis, or fibroids. What can I do to get pregnant naturally?
