Finding a fertility naturopath to provide expert preconception care for your reproductive health is a great step towards creating a healthy baby. Our fertility naturopaths are particularly enthusiastic about providing expert preconception care for prospective parents. Preconception care is the ultimate in the naturopathic philosophy: “prevention is better than cure”. Ensuring your preconception health is at its best means you will experience less health problems during your pregnancy and give a much better opportunity for your baby’s constitution, vitality and future health.
Healthy life changes and specialised conception protocols form the basis of naturopathic fertility care and can be applied at any stage of your fertility journey, even if you are well down a path of medical intervention, including surgeries or IVF procedures. Our fertility naturopaths can help you in any part of this journey. Whether you are recently diagnosed but not yet ready for IVF, in need of a break from continuous IVF cycles or if you are in a position where you want to continue with IVF with naturopathic care concurrently, we have supportive strategies for any stage. Of great importance is the collaboration with your medical specialists to ensure you have the best care no matter what the stage of your treatment.
Our fertility naturopaths work as your clinical detective, pulling together information from your previous health history, current health issues, test results, and other sources to assess your fertility status and assist you in your journey to creating a healthy family.

This detail helps your fertility naturopath put together a plan to improve your fertility by optimising the function of cells and tissues, balancing hormones, reducing inflammation, improving nutritional status and addressing pre-existing conditions that may have an impact on your fertility – even if in an indirect way. Particular care is also taken to ensure they support the most important areas for fertility such as supporting your nervous system, stress levels and stress responses, uterine lining support, egg quality, hormonal balance, sperm development in males and specific issues such as poor responders in IVF treatment situations.
Your plan will always include very detailed diet and lifestyle interventions (food as medicine), specific to you, which is also appropriately augmented with nutritional supplementation, herbal medicine and sometimes homeopathy. Our fertility naturopaths may also recommend support from other practitioners or be in communication with other carers to ensure comprehensive care and optimum results. The aim is to ensure you have sufficient energy and nutritional status to conceive, experience a healthy pregnancy and go on to have a healthy, happy baby!
