Fertility

Congratulations on your decision to expand your family! We understand that this journey can feel overwhelming at times, but we’re here to support you every step of the way.

To get started, we’ll review your complete medical and family history, discuss your current diet and lifestyle, and explore any acute or chronic symptoms you may have. We’ll also talk about your personal goals and any cultural considerations that may be important. If necessary, we’ll order labs, which we will review at your next visit.

Before your appointment, we ask that you complete your registration, submit a food journal, and provide your medical history. This will allow us to dive right into your plan during the appointment, saving you both time and money.

You can expect to leave your appointment feeling heard, understood, and confident that all your questions have been answered. You’ll also receive personalized recommendations for food, supplements, and movement that will support your goals.

While not everyone finds sample meal plans helpful, we understand that some clients prefer more tailored options. If that’s the case, we’ll send you a customized meal plan after your appointment. If you’re interested in using fertility awareness to help you conceive (we use an evidence-based approach, not the traditional calendar method), we can cover that in our follow-up visits as well.

We recommend planning for at least three visits, although the number may vary based on your needs. Between appointments, Caroline will be available by email to answer any questions or help adjust your plan.

Maternity

Congratulations! Whether your pregnancy was planned or came as a surprise, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed once the news sinks in. With so many decisions to make and tasks to take on, it’s easy to forget to care for yourself. However, nurturing your body is never more important than during this time when you’re carrying the next generation. We’re here to help you navigate the many choices around nutrition, supplements, and movement to optimize your pregnancy. Additionally, we’ll help identify and address any underlying deficiencies and offer natural solutions to common pregnancy discomforts.

To make the most of your appointment, we ask that you complete your registration, submit a food journal, and provide your medical history beforehand. This allows us to jump straight into addressing your needs, saving you both time and money.

At the end of your appointment, you can expect to feel heard, understood, and confident that all your questions have been answered. You’ll also receive personalized recommendations for food, supplements, and movement. If you find meal plans helpful, we’ll provide one after your appointment—tailored to your needs, which requires some additional time for customization.

We recommend scheduling a minimum of three visits to ensure the best support throughout your pregnancy. Caroline will be available for follow-up questions or adjustments to your plan via email between appointments.

Lactation

Welcome new baby! The day you’ve been eagerly awaiting has finally arrived. Now, what comes next? While much attention is given to labor and delivery, the focus often shifts away from how to nourish and care for your newborn and yourself afterward. Proper nutrition plays a vital role in your recovery and breastfeeding. Your meals need to be nourishing enough to heal your body and provide the essential nutrients for your baby to thrive. We’re here to guide you through the many options for food, supplements, and movement to support your postpartum journey. We’ll also help identify any nutritional gaps and address common postpartum discomforts naturally.

To make the most of your appointment, we ask that you complete your registration, submit a food journal, and provide your medical history ahead of time. This helps us dive straight into your needs, saving you both time and money. We understand that caring for yourself and your newborn can make this challenging, so if you're unable to complete this in advance, we can gather the necessary information verbally during your appointment, with no additional charge for extra time.

You can expect to leave your appointment feeling heard, supported, and confident that all your questions have been answered. You’ll also receive personalized recommendations for food, supplements, and movement. If you find sample meal plans helpful, we’ll send one to you after your appointment—customized to suit your needs, which takes a bit more time. Caroline will be available via email for follow-up questions or adjustments to your plan.

What is Addendum Maternity Care?

Addendum maternity care* provides supplemental support alongside your primary maternity provider, whether that’s a midwife or an OB-GYN.

While receiving care, you might find that you need additional visits to address specific concerns or fill knowledge gaps. This could arise from a diagnosis or symptom requiring specialized attention that your primary care provider cannot accommodate due to lack of time or resources. If access to midwifery care is limited in your area, telemedicine with Caroline could be the ideal solution. *Please note that Addendum care is not a substitution for a midwife or an OB-GYN since Caroline does not see folks in person, nor does she currently offer labor and delivery services.
