FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE
an Integrative and naturopathic approach to health and wellness
Wholistic and Evidence-Informed Healthcare From Annual Check-Ins to Condition-Specific Medicine
In addition to midwifery care, we offer complementary alternative medicine (CAM) as functional medicine practitioners. From in-depth lab testing, to supplement recommendations, nutrition plans, and condition-specific treatment plans, our practice offers wholistic approaches to you and your family’s overall health.
We specialize in preconception, pregnancy, and postpartum healthcare, co-managing with your PCP, midwife, or other providers to offer care managing overall wellness, conditions such as PCOS, gestational diabetes, irregular menstrual cycles, poor sperm health, thyroid imbalances, transitioning to gender-affirming hormones, or anxiety and depression.
We do this through 1 on 1 health coaching, lab testing, and continuous collaboration & referrals with whomever your primary care provider is (whether it’s your midwife for prenatal or postpartum care, your naturopath or physician, acupuncturist, or fertility clinic).

I AM CURRENTLY PREGNANT AND SEEING AN OB/MIDWIFE CAN I STILL GET FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE SUPPORT FROM VILLAGE MIDWIFERY?
Yes. We often co-manage with your primary care provider - they manage your primary care and we work with them to support your functional medicine care goals and needs.
CAN YOU PRESCRIBE MEDICATIONS?
In the upcoming months, we look forward to being able to prescribe certain medications for pregnancy and postpartum clients. However, we can and often recommend a number of vitamins and supplements that are evidence-based for whatever condition we are managing. These often complement well with any prescription medications you may be taking.
CAN YOU WORK WITH TEENS OR CHILDREN?
We only offer functional medicine care to teens who are wishing to become pregnant or those who are pregnant or postpartum. We do not see children.
