At the Vancouver Island Naturopathic Clinic, we believe that the journey to a healthy pregnancy starts well before conception. Whether you’re hoping to conceive naturally or are undergoing assisted reproductive treatments, our goal is to help you and your partner prepare physically, emotionally, and nutritionally for the best possible start.

Our preconception care focuses on optimizing the health of each prospective parent physically, mentally, and reproductively before and during conception to help support a healthy pregnancy, and contribute to the long-term well-being of both parent and baby. We are here to work closely with you, your partner, and your fertility specialists to provide an integrated, supportive approach to your fertility journey. Once pregnancy is achieved, we continue to offer care to support you and your growing baby through every stage.
