Preconception health profoundly impacts….

🪺 pregnancy and pregnancy complications (or lack thereof)
🪺 birth and birth outcomes
🪺 postpartum recovery
🪺 early motherhood

This is more than just optimizing fertility, this is about optimizing your wellness in a way that will carry you forward with vitality through the super intense journey of creating life!!

Being on my own conception journey, I 100% understand it can feel overwhelming to do everything right or perfect.

These are the top 5 non-negotiables in my opinion (plus, making sure your partner is also taking care of their health and preparing the relationship in big and simple ways!!)

If you are looking for more specific guidance to optimize your preconception health, or struggling with infertility- I would love to support you. Don’t hesitate to reach out and schedule a discovery call.

Hi there and welcome to my page!

My name is Dr. Sam, I’m a Naturopathic Doctor and owner here at Trillium. I focus on Women’s health with a special passion for maternal health – with an expertise in preconception, fertility, pregnancy, postpartum and motherhood.

I worked as a birth and loss doula during my 5 years in Medical school school and then as a family medicine doctor in residency and I saw how abysmal the holistic healthcare was for women on the Motherhood journey (especially postpartum!)

Now, I help women prepare for pregnancy and heal optimally after giving birth and maintain (or restore) their health all throughout Motherhood.

The tools that I use with patients range widely but are all oriented towards treating the root-cause and are completely individualized. From nutrition and herbalism, to somatic work and counseling to bodywork and pelvic floor therapy, homeopathy, lifestyle and targeted supplementation- I have many tools to support you.

Your preferences and intuition are important to me and inform our journey together.

I strongly believe, in the most obvious and subtle ways, that better healthcare for Women and Mothers means healthier families, communities, ecosystems and ultimately a healthier planet.

I offer 4 different packages depending on where you are at in your journey and home visits for holistic postpartum care- I seek to not only help women restore health and vitality, but to be proactive in protecting and preserving it.

In addition to my clinical work as a doctor, I believe community is the missing piece for so many women and mothers in finding meaning and wellness- so I facilitate community gatherings and support groups- one of them being MotherCircle- a profound 8 week program designed by Kimberly Ann Johnson to build culture and connection for Mothers and Mothers to be.

***I took a month break from social media over the holidays and it was so frickin good I decided to stay off it (as much as possible) as I feel it interrupts my daily flow and presence (and likely does yours, too!) but I will pop on here occasionally to share information, offerings and updates. If you’d like to stay more connected with me and how I share, please sign up for my email newsletter for my monthly musings and an occasional overly detailed blog post.

Lovely to be connected with you in some way on this journey.
