Naturopathic Postpartum Support
Longing to feel like yourself now that you have a new baby?
Did you feel caught off-guard by the trauma of childbirth and its lingering effects on your body?
Are you emotionally exhausted, struggling to balance the demands of a newborn with your own health concerns?
Many women are surprised that the increased demands on their health can continue for years after having kids!
Naturopathic support can ease your postpartum struggles.
For women who give birth, the postpartum period is the most ignored and overlooked time in their healthcare journey. Just when your body experiences one of the most dramatic changes in your life, you are left to navigate it on your own.
Naturopathic medicine offers an approach to help you heal, recover and thrive—so you can feel like yourself again and truly enjoy being a mother to the new addition to your family.
Naturopathic therapies are natural, gentle, and safe. Under the right guidance, it’s possible to use herbs, homeopathy, supplements, and foods to strengthen your body and mind through the postpartum period.

What to Expect
01: Initial Consultation (virtual)
You will be asked to complete an extensive intake form and submit any recent labs and imaging before your first visit. This allows Dr. Parrish to review the materials and make the most of your time together. Please allow 90 minutes for your initial consultation.
02: Functional Medicine Testing
Depending on your previous lab work and health history, Dr. Parrish may order additional testing to understand your underlying biochemistry and patterns. These tests can include bloodwork, salivary testing, or stool testing to assess thyroid function, gut health, micronutrient status, food allergies, environmental toxins, and more. See testing options here >
03: Personalized Health Plan
Once your lab results are received, you’ll have a consultation to review the results and receive a comprehensive plan to help you feel better through the postpartum period and beyond. Naturopathic recommendations might include nutrition, supplementation, homeopathy, or other natural therapies to support and optimize your body’s health.
04: Optimization & Coordination
Lasting change doesn’t happen overnight! Follow-up consultations are important for modifying your plan and keeping you moving toward feeling your best. Dr. Parrish also believes patients are best served when they have a team of health care providers and often refers to conventional doctors or specialists (including your ob-gyn, endocrinologists, nutritionists, therapists, acupuncturists, or pelvic PT specialists) to coordinate complete care.
Please note—all consultations are conducted virtually. Dr. Rosia Parrish is not an obstetrician, and you must continue routine postpartum checkups with your healthcare provider.
