Functional Women's Health & preconception
What is functional medicine?
"As a catalyst in the transformation of healthcare, functional medicine takes a comprehensive, whole health approach to prevention, health, and well-being; treats root causes of disease; and restores healthy function through a personalized patient experience — all while being a vital partner to conventional medicine." - Institute of functional medicine
What is circadian Biology?
"Circadian Biology refers to the study of how our body's internal 24-hour clock—regulated by light, darkness, and natural rhythms—affects our hormones, metabolism, sleep, and overall health. In preconception care" -
Aligning with these rhythms can optimize fertility, support hormone balance, and enhance the health of future generations.

My Approach
My journey began with a deep love for nutritional biochemistry and epi-genetics, which naturally led me to the intricate biochemistry of pregnancy. As a midwife my greatest hope is that you get to experience a home birth. As a functional dietitian my hope is to support you in achieving a healthy, low-risk pregnancy—so that you can safely and confidently birth at home.
Preconception is My Focus
While I’m available for single consultations to answer questions or review lab results, my primary focus is working one-on-one with women and couples before pregnancy.
The programs I’ve designed are built around the philosophy that investing in your health before conception is the most powerful step you can take—not only to reduce complications during pregnancy, but to positively influence your baby’s lifelong health through epigenetic imprinting.
Preparing your body for pregnancy allows us to:
-
Identify and address potential health concerns before they affect your pregnancy.
-
Create the most favorable environment for conception, healthy fetal development, and long-term wellness for both you and your child.
Already Pregnant?
If you're currently pregnant and experiencing complications such as thyroid imbalances, iron deficiency, gestational diabetes (or a history of it), or concerns around pre-eclampsia, I offer functional medicine consults to support you during this time. [Schedule a pregnancy consult here.]
What I Offer
My private practice centers around two core offerings:
-
A Preconception Lifestyle Program: A foundational course open to anyone seeking to restore balance and optimize health before conception.
-
1:1 Functional Medicine Programs: Personalized, in-depth work rooted in functional lab testing and therapeutic nutrition to deeply support your fertility and long-term health.
​
Let’s prepare your body, your mind, and your baby’s future—starting before pregnancy even begins.

Preconception Program
=Prioritizing the epi-genetic soil your baby will grow in=
Your body is a garden...Your baby grows in that garden.
This is an in depth 5 month lifestyle program bringing you back to the foundations of water, light and magnetism where your soil is nourished, rooted and watered so you can grow the most optimal garden from seed.
"A baby grows through the division of its cells. Starting as one cell, the fertilised egg, as it changes from egg, to embryo, to baby, passes through 42 cycles of cell division. After birth only a further 5 cycles of division is needed to change the infant into an adult.
This makes a good point. Much of the development of the human body is complete before birth"
-Professor David Barker

Options
​
Circadian Biology Preconception Lifestyle Program
​
-Self Paced
-
What's Included:
-
Self paced , step by step, educational, lifestyle program that spans 5-6 months.
-
New (2 hour) topic every two weeks (great date night ritual) - comes with both visual/audio or read only classes.
-
Education and implementations are based on the scientific foundations of circadian biology weaved together with functional nutrition and mindfulness practices.
-
Optional female hormone tracking : this course includes a class on how to use Mira / Inito for fertility hormone tracking and how to connect to your cycle and understand your hormonal rhythms and how to screen for less optimal fertility status based on these trackers.
-
-
Whats not included:
-
Any optional lab costs​ (these are paid straight to the lab)
-
​
Optional Labs
-
Optional Semen analysis & sperm health
-
Optional Vaginal microbiome testing.
Part of this lifestyle program will have a section on some labs that you are able to order & run by yourself (and send back to the lab). This section will educate you on the topic and why it is important as well as baseline for interpretation and evidence based lifestyle and nutrition protocols for optimizing the parameters of these labs if any of them come back less optimal.
The sperm analysis in particular is also good screening tools to see if you need more 1:1 counseling and treatment.
-
Genetic / carrier screen:
This is also a great screen to run prior to conception in order to understand the genetic risk that you and your partner may have when creating a baby together. Ordering this test needs a provider but if you would like to do this self paced program and simply have me order your carrier screen please add that additional order when signing up.
Ways to use this program:
​
1. Self paced 5-6 months of education and implementational steps laying the foundation of balanced health in order to step into pregnancy with well nourished soil in order to carry a low risk pregnancy and prepare the epi-genetic blueprint to be passed on to your baby.
​
2. Self paced 5-6 month lifestyle program before going in on 1:1 counseling support with functional labs in order to see what other health tweeks can help finish the soil health :)

1:1 Couple Consults (3 month minimum)
When we work 1:1 we start with a 3-month subscription package , focusing on extensive labs that follow a system based biology approach:
1. Rebalancing adrenal & Neuro endocrine,
2. Rebalancing the GI system
3. Followed by detox if indicated.
​
​These programs range from 3-10 months depending on how much healing is needed.
​
These system based biology therapy programs run alongside your lifestyle program (Circadian Biology Preconception Program).
​
I only work with 3-5 couples at a time since this is a very time invested program. You may join the waiting list and start with the circadian biology lifestyle program first since that remains the foundation of any and all therapy programs.
Who would benefit from this program?​
​
1. Couples with underlying health conditions such as GI health issues/ Thyroid disorders/ hormonal imbalance etc
​
2. Those couples who have been with fertility clinics but have had very limited labs done and want to avoid IVF as a first choice
​
3. Those who have done the Circadian Biology Lifestyle Program and want to do a deeper dive to see what else can be optimized
​
How to get set up for this program:​
​
1. Register below. Registration allows you immediate access to the Circadian Biology Lifestyle Program as well as notifying me that you are on the waiting list for me to order your labs.
​
2. You will receive an email to say your labs have been ordered and the email will also notify you of when I would be able to start working with you in order for you to get your labs done in an appropriate time frame.
​
2. Go ahead and get your lab orders paid. The labs will ship these kits to you and you will be able to get these done at home in your own time. (the blood draw will need to be scheduled, I can facilitate that).
​
3. Send your labs back all within the same month. (same week would be ideal) These results usually take 2-3 weeks.
​
4. Once I have all your results I will reach out to schedule an initial consultation with you to start your process for lab interpretation and making a therapeutic plan together.
