Meet our Fabulous Fertility Program Team
Dr. laurie, natural fertility specialist
Welcome! Holistic medicine is my specialty and empowering women is my passion. Combining the two is my job.
Drawing upon over 20-years of experience in Chinese and functional medicine, I offer a uniquely balanced approach to help women make profound changes and take control of their hormones and fertility.
As a holistic doctor, I partner with my clients to discover the root cause of their body imbalances. Using an inclusive approach I review lab work and results, nutrition, herbal medicine, supplements, and lifestyle changes with all my patients to support them in growing their families.

Whitney gower, fertility coach
Hi! I’m Whitney Gower. After working in the western medicine world for almost 10 years and going through infertility and then several pregnancy losses I wish I had known about the natural fertility world. I was told “Here do this test. Take this medicine.” In the end, I do have two beautiful kiddos but it took a toll on my body. During my fertility journey, I was frustrated, angry, confused, and lonely. It seemed there was no one to help guide me and I kept hitting unexpected delays and pitfalls. I saw the need and the lack of information when it came to holistic health and wellness.
I wanted to help other women so I became a Certified Health Coach. I ended up not only helping others but healing myself in the process.
Now, I am using my past experience to help other women have a more positive family-building experience. I’ve “been there” when it comes to fertility struggles and I use this experience, natural empathy, and expertise in coaching to help women on their fertility journey. I want women to feel empowered, informed, and heard. I can’t wait to walk alongside you!
