As an ND , I always take an individualized approach to your prenatal care. Each women and their pregnancy is different! My goal is to find the optimal supplementation pregnancy plan for YOU to ensure a healthy pregnancy and baby.

How Can I Help Throughout Your Pregnancy Journey:

I provide fertility support to help patients through pre-conception care, pregnancy and beyond. By looking at fertility through a holistic lens, we work towards a comprehensive plan that takes into account all aspects of health and its effect on fertility. I have advanced training in fertility support and offer pre + post IVF acupuncture. 

What you can expect:

• Preconception Visit
  • At our first visit we’ll talk about your goals, reproductive + health history, cycles, complete pre-conception blood tests, physical exams and talk about other conditions that may be making it difficult to conceive like PCOS, thyroid conditions, obesity, autoimmune conditions, endometriosis, diabetes + more.
• Pregnancy Check-In’s⁠ 
  • Support throughout your pregnancy and an individualized nutrition, research-based supplements and lifestyle plan to support healthy pregnancy + happy momma. Each trimester requires specific nutrients to optimize baby’s health.⁠
• Comprehensive Lab Testing
  • In order to ovulate, conceive and maintain a pregnancy, we must have optimal levels of hormones. I run comprehensive lab testing if necessary to help us understand your health better and guide treatments to improve fertility. This can include Estrogen (Estradiol), LH: FSH ratio, Progesterone, Insulin and/or HbA1C, TSH (and T3, T4, anti-TPO), Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH).
• Individualized Treatment Plans
  • Treatment plans focusing on fertility nutrition, evidence-based supplements and botanicals and lifestyle changes. I tailor treatments for each individual to help boost fertility taking into account patients’ goals, health history and lab work.
• Pelvic Floor Therapy
  • Pre-and-post natal concerns including labor and delivery preparation, pain, leakage, tearing or episiotomy support. Learn more here!
• Integrative Fertility Support
  • I’m happy to offer integrative fertility support to help improve fertility alongside other conventional therapy such as IVF, IUI and cycle monitoring.
• Equal Access for All
  • I am proud to provide LGBTQ2S friendly services in my practice and provide equal access for all individuals and couples looking to optimize their fertility.

If you are interested in optimizing your hormonal health, fertility + pregnancy support, I am a Naturopathic Doctor in Toronto, Mississauga and Vaughan. I have additional training in Integrative Fertility Methods + Pelvic Floor Therapy and would love to help you reach your health goals. 

In health,

Dr. Courtney Ranieri, ND
