Fertility Consulting

Fertility Consulting & Nutrition Support

Trying to conceive can be one of the most hopeful and heartbreaking experiences a person goes through.

Whether you're just beginning your journey, preparing for IVF, navigating recurrent loss, trying to understand your cycle, or simply wondering if there is more you can do to support your body, you deserve care that looks at the whole picture.

As a Specialized Prenatal Nutritionist (SPN) through the Institute for Prenatal Nutrition, I offer personalized fertility nutrition and wellness support rooted in evidence-based nutrition, compassionate listening, and real-life experience.

And while my education informs my work, my lived experience shapes it.

I spent five years navigating infertility and IVF before becoming a mother. Of twin-nadoes! I know what it's like to wait for phone calls, analyze lab results, grieve failed cycles, advocate for yourself, and wonder if your body is letting you down. I also know how isolating fertility challenges can feel.

❋ My Approach

Fertility is about so much more than a positive pregnancy test. It is influenced by nourishment, stress, sleep, blood sugar balance, hormone health, lifestyle factors, medical history, environmental exposures, and countless individual variables that make your journey uniquely yours.

My role is to help you feel more informed about your lab work, more supported, and more empowered as you move through this season.

Together, we'll explore practical ways to support your overall health and reproductive wellness through nutrition, lifestyle habits, education, and personalized recommendations that fit your real life.

This includes information about IVF and notes you can bring back to your RE.

A Note For IVF Families

If you are going through IVF, I want to share this with you: a difficult cycle, failed transfer, miscarriage, or “unexplained” result is not proof that your body failed.

IVF is complex. Egg quality, sperm health, embryo development, lab conditions, medication protocol, uterine environment, timing, inflammation, hormones, and plain old biology can all play a role. And too often, the birthing person is left carrying the blame.

My role is to help you feel supported, informed, and less alone as you move through treatment. We can look at nourishment, lifestyle, questions to bring to your care team, and ways to support your body without making your body the problem.

A Gentle Reminder: Fertility is complex.

There are no guarantees, quick fixes, or perfect protocols.

What I offer is thoughtful guidance, personalized support, and a space where you can feel seen, heard, and cared for as you navigate this journey.

Your body is doing extraordinary work.

You deserve support that not only honors that, but also listens to what your body is telling you so you have the best chance to meet your baby!
