Kayla Philpott
Homeopath & Fertility Coach

As a local Homeopath and Fertility Coach, I offer individualized homeopathic care for women, children and families, with a special focus on fertility, pregnancy and postpartum.

I work with both acute and chronic conditions, helping families navigate everything from common childhood illnesses to deeper, long-standing health concerns. My approach is rooted in understanding the whole person, looking at patterns, history, and the body’s unique way of expressing imbalance.

I am especially passionate about walking with women and couples through the fertility and perinatal journey, offering support that looks beyond symptoms to understand the full picture.

My office includes an in-house dispensary with over 200 homeopathic remedies and first aid kits, along with educational classes and fertility support groups for ongoing support and community.

About me: I’m a 3rd generation Nevada County local, wife and mom of 3 boys. I look forward to serving your families.

NEW SWADDLERS CIRCLE - ONLINE SUPPORT GROUP

By popular request, we’re bringing back our FREE, virtual new parent circle! In addition to our in-person group, parents are welcome to join from home, hospital or anywhere! Because sometimes it’s hard to join in-person.

Those early days with a new baby can feel beautiful… and overwhelming all at once. 🤍
That’s why you’re invited to a FREE Virtual New Parent Support Circle - a safe, supportive space to ask questions, share experiences, and feel less alone. You’re welcome anytime in the first year after birth.
Led by a lactation consultant, this circle is here for you:
🤱 Feeding support (breastfeeding, bottle feeding, combo feeding)
💬 Real talk about postpartum + newborn life
👶 What’s normal, what’s not, and when to get help
💛 Connection with other parents in the same season

No pressure. No judgment. Just support.

Come as you are. Camera on or off, baby in arms, questions ready (or not).
Because sometimes what you need most… is to hear “me too.” ✨

💬 Comment “CIRCLE” or send a DM for the link to join
🗓️ Mondays 1PM
