Pre-Pregnancy Care

Dr. Chenelle Roberts, Dr. Taylor Summers (Kaufmann) and Dr. Sarah Parsons all provide pre-pregnancy care.  As family naturopathic physicians, they believe in supporting women towards optimal health prior to pregnancy.  Your first visit will include a review of your medical and gynecological history, diet, supplements and prescriptions, a complete physical examination, and initial laboratory blood work.  Any previous lab work and pertinent medical history from other providers will be requested.  A follow-up visit will be scheduled to review your labs and medical records and make specific diet and supplement recommendations for your optimal conception. Some women will additionally want guidance on timing for conception. Both physicians have clinical experience in natural family planning and are happy to review your charts or teach you how to track your cycles for ideal timing if desired.

Natural Family Planning

Natural family planning involves charting your menstrual cycle, morning basal body temperature, and cervical mucus.  This information can provide invaluable information about your hormone levels and ovulation pattern.  It can also help your practitioner counsel you regarding ideal timing for natural intercourse or planned inseminations.  Your naturopathic physician may make recommendations for changes in your diet; request additional lab work; prescribe vitamins, minerals,  herbs, or medications; or make a referral based on this information. We are happy to teach you how to chart your cycles or interpret your charts if you’d like some guidance.

Infertility Care

Dr. Chenelle Roberts, Dr. Taylor Summers (Kaufmann) and Dr. Sarah Parsons also provide infertility care. Your first visit will include a review of your medical and gynecological history, diet, supplements and prescriptions, a complete physical examination, and initial laboratory blood work.  Any previous labwork and pertinent medical history from other providers will be requested.  A follow-up visit will be scheduled to review your labs and medical records and make specific diet and supplement recommendations for your optimal conception. We are happy to work with any fertility specialists that you are currently working with or make recommendations for care for you based on your history.
