Recurrent Miscarriage Support in Ottawa and Across Ontario
If you have experienced two or more pregnancy losses, you are not alone and there may be underlying factors that deserve careful, compassionate evaluation.
Experiencing repeated pregnancy loss can be deeply painful, confusing, and isolating. Many individuals are told that recurrent miscarriage is unexplained, yet research continues to show that a thoughtful, individualized assessment can uncover contributing factors that are often missed in conventional care alone.
​
My role as a Fertility Naturopath based in Ottawa, is to provide evidence informed, integrative support for individuals navigating recurrent miscarriage, recurrent pregnancy loss, and early pregnancy loss. I work with patients locally and virtually across Ontario to help identify potential contributors and support future pregnancy outcomes.
Understanding Recurrent Miscarriage
​
Recurrent miscarriage, also referred to as recurrent pregnancy loss, is typically defined as two or more consecutive pregnancy losses. While chromosomal factors can play a role, many individuals experience loss despite normal testing or being told there is no clear explanation.
It is important to know that recurrent miscarriage is often multifactorial. Hormonal, immune, metabolic, inflammatory, genetic, and lifestyle factors may all influence early pregnancy development.
​
Why a Comprehensive, Integrative Approach Matters
​
Conventional assessments are important, but additional components and screening can help capture a more complete assessment. An integrative fertility focused assessment may explore areas such as:
​
-
Hormonal balance and luteal phase support
-
Thyroid health and thyroid autoimmunity
-
Blood sugar regulation and insulin resistance
-
Inflammatory and immune related factors
-
Nutrient status relevant to early pregnancy
-
Sperm health and DNA integrity
-
Stress physiology and nervous system regulation
This approach does not replace medical care. It works alongside your fertility clinic or physician to support your body as a whole.
How We Support Patients with Recurrent Pregnancy Loss
My clinical focus is exclusively fertility and reproductive health. With over a decade of experience supporting individuals navigating recurrent miscarriage, my role is to listen carefully, review your history in depth, and create a plan that is both evidence informed and individualized.
Care may include:
-
Detailed review of prior pregnancies and testing
-
Targeted nutrition and supplement strategies
-
Fertility acupuncture to support circulation and stress regulation
-
Botanical and nutraceutical support when appropriate

Emotional Support Is Part of Fertility Care
Repeated pregnancy loss carries a heavy emotional burden. Anxiety, grief, self blame, and fear around trying again are common responses.
​
Supporting emotional wellbeing and nervous system regulation is not separate from fertility care. It is a meaningful part of helping patients feel safer, more grounded, and better supported throughout their journey.
This Support May Be Right for You If:
-
You have experienced two or more pregnancy losses
-
You have been told your testing is normal but still feel unanswered
-
You want a thorough, integrative review before trying again
-
You want coordinated support alongside your medical team

Frequently Asked Questions about Recurrent Miscarriages
What is considered recurrent miscarriage?
​
Recurrent miscarriage, also called recurrent pregnancy loss, is generally defined as two or more pregnancy losses. Some guidelines use three losses, but many fertility clinics and practitioners now begin evaluation after two, especially when losses occur consecutively. Each situation is unique and deserves individualized consideration.
​​
Can recurrent miscarriage happen even if all tests are normal?
Yes. Many individuals experiencing recurrent miscarriage are told that their testing is normal. This can be incredibly frustrating and confusing. Fertility challenges are often multifactorial, and standard testing may not capture hormonal patterns, inflammatory contributors, metabolic factors, nutrient status, or lifestyle influences that can affect early pregnancy development.
How can naturopathic care support recurrent pregnancy loss?
Naturopathic fertility care focuses on understanding the whole picture. This includes reviewing your reproductive history in detail, identifying potential contributing factors, and supporting the body through evidence informed nutrition, supplements, fertility acupuncture, lifestyle guidance, and stress regulation strategies. Care is designed to complement medical and fertility clinic care rather than replace it.
Should I wait before trying again after a miscarriage?
The right timing to try again varies from person to person. Some individuals feel physically ready quickly, while others need more time emotionally or medically. A preconception support period can be helpful to allow the body to recover, review contributing factors, and optimize conditions before the next attempt. This decision should always be personalized and made with appropriate guidance.
Do you work alongside fertility clinics and physicians?
Yes. I regularly support patients who are also under the care of fertility clinics, obstetricians, and family physicians. Integrative care works best when it is collaborative, with clear communication and respect for each provider’s role in supporting your reproductive health.
Can you support patients outside of Ottawa?
Yes. In addition to in person care in Ottawa, I offer secure virtual consultations for patients across Ontario. This allows access to fertility focused naturopathic care regardless of location.
