Dr. Samantha empowers her patients with education, compassion, and evidence-based strategies to achieve their fertility goals.


WHAT WE TALK ABOUT

  • Samantha’s journey from childhood illness to naturopathic medicine and how she found her calling in fertility care.

  • Why many of her clients have faced multiple failed IVF cycles or want natural fertility options.

  • The importance of preparing the body 3–6 months before trying to conceive for better outcomes.

  • Signs of a healthy cycle and how gut, sleep, and skin symptoms can reveal deeper fertility issues.

  • How gut infections like H. pylori or Candida affect nutrient absorption and sperm motility.

  • The immune system’s role in implantation and how gut healing prevents embryo rejection.

  • How body care, candles, and home products may interfere with fertility due to toxins.

  • The possible impact of EMFs on hormone balance, sleep, and reproductive health.

  • Autoimmunity and Hashimoto’s as fertility blockers and how root-cause healing can help.

  • Real success stories from patients who conceived naturally after long fertility struggles.

  • An overview of her Fertility for Two program and what the healing journey typically looks like.
