Dr. Caleigh Sumner, ND
My career path was always to become a Naturopathic Doctor and champion a naturopathic fertility clinic, as I am a product of naturopathic medicine after years of infertility. Naturopathic medicine has always been a critical part of my life, and now it is the lens that I use to support each and every one of my unique patients.
The reality when it comes to fertility care, is that support is needed to conceive beyond the conventional medical system. Fertility treatment is not a one-size-fits-all approach, and when it is treated us such my patients don’t see the success they deserve. I fill the gaps in patient care. I seek to find the root cause of my patients’ infertility. I pursue the answers my patients need in order to change their outcomes. I treat my patients with compassion and curiosity.
I have substantial experience supporting thousands of patients through IVF treatment, IUI cycles, embryo transfer cycles, donor gamete cycles, and natural fertility care. My area of unique focus is in endometriosis, PCOS, recurrent miscarriage, and recurrent implantation failure. My area of expertise is in immune and inflammatory causes of infertility. My study is in advanced testing and treatment for recurrent miscarriage and recurrent implantation failure, inspired by my own experience with endometriosis and recurrent implantation failure.
I work closely with all fertility clinics in the GTA and collaborate with Reproductive Endocrinologists to ensure my patients receive the best care possible. As part of my Doctor of Naturopathy, I completed an extensive reproductive health internship and continue to attend fertility conferences and specialized educational courses on fertility medications and treatments. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with thousands of patients in support of their fertility and pregnancy journeys. Inclusive care for all people trying to conceive is my priority.
I received my Doctor of Naturopathy from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine and my Bachelor of Health Sciences from Western University.
I am a proud wife to my wife and dog mom to Indie and Joey! My obsessions include music and concerts, TV sitcoms (I’m always looking for recommendations) and baking. If you’d like to read more about improving your reproductive health, check out the Folia Fertility blog!
Dr. Georgia Parousis, ND
With a focus on fertility and preconception health, my passion is supporting individuals and couples trying to conceive. Whether it be stand-alone care or a supplement to your current medical care plan, I utilize modalities such as acupuncture, supplements, herbs, and nutrition and lifestyle counselling to optimize the landscape from which conception can take place. Working collaboratively with fertility clinics for patients undergoing Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), In-vitro Fertilization (IVF), egg and/or sperm preservation, and other Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ARTs), I see the benefit that an integrative model of care has in optimizing clinical success rates. I work with various conditions that can pose a challenge to fertility including diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), premature ovarian failure (POF), Low AMH and/or Low AFC, Male Factor Infertility, Advanced Maternal Age, Endometriosis and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) as well as various Obstetrical and Postpartum concerns.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Health Sciences and a Graduate degree in Education. I attained my Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine degree from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto, with a focus on Reproductive Health and Fertility.
I am proud to be an active member of the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors (CAND) and the Ontario Association of Naturopathic Doctors (OAND).
When I'm not tending to my patients, you can find me spending time in nature with my Siberian Husky or continuing to further my education by attending fertility conferences and digging deep into patient research.
Dr. Shannon Vander Doelen, ND
As a Naturopathic Doctor, I’m on a mission to transform fertility care. I help people find clarity and create confidence about the things that can improve their fertility and their chances of getting, and staying pregnant. My goal is to help you to feel empowered with the information you need to make decisions about your healthcare. Over the last decade, I’ve worked with hundreds of patients to help identify concerns with respect to their fertility, run necessary lab testing, and create treatment plans to help them get pregnant and have a healthy pregnancy.
I support individuals and couples at many different stages of their fertility journey. Whether you are just thinking about starting to try to conceive, or are deep in the trenches of working with a fertility clinic, I am here to help you get the answers you need to bring you to your ultimate goal of bringing your baby home. I have a clinical focus on improving egg and sperm quality, endometriosis, PCOS, diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), secondary infertility, and fertility after miscarriage or pregnancy loss. I also have a special interest in fertility preservation (egg freezing), pregnancy care, postpartum support, and perimenopause.
I know first hand how hard this journey can be. My personal experiences of navigating pregnancy loss and secondary infertility prior to successfully conceiving our 2nd baby through IVF have informed and shaped my practice and the compassionate care I strive to provide for my patients. I’m so honoured to walk this path with you.
I earned my doctorate degree from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine. I am also a graduate of the University of Guelph, where I earned my Honours Bachelor of Science Degree in Biomedical Sciences. I am a member in good standing of the College of Naturopaths of Ontario, the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors, and the Ontario Association of Naturopathic Doctors.
When I’m not wearing my ND-hat, I can be found adventuring through life with my husband and 2 little girls. I love a warm home cooked meal, a good kitchen dance party, and a perfectly brewed cup of pour-over coffee.
Dr. Farah Rosic, ND
As a board-certified Naturopathic Doctor, with a clinical focus on fertility and reproductive health, thyroid function, and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) acupuncture, I am dedicated to optimizing fertility through an evidence-based approach.
Whether you’re looking to conceive naturally, improve your odds in IVF, or help prevent miscarriage, my goal is to provide you with the support and knowledge necessary to feel informed and proactive. A vast body of research demonstrates that egg quality and fertility is not entirely out of our control. We just need to look to the latest science and apply it.
My areas of focus are in Diminished Ovarian Reserve (DOR), Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI), Recurrent Pregnancy Loss (RPL), Implantation Failure, Endometriosis, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), Male Factor Infertility and other Prenatal and Postpartum related concerns.
I work collaboratively with reproductive endocrinologists and fertility clinics, while families are working with assisted reproductive technologies such as IUI, IVF, or fertility preservation techniques, to provide complementary and effective care.
I use evidence-based treatment plans backed by the latest science, stay up to date on current research in my areas of expertise, and use innovative lab testing, alongside a thorough health assessment, to investigate the root cause of infertility and enhance the probability of conception. Most importantly, I’m committed to helping you bring your baby home.
I obtained my Doctor of Naturopathy degree from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM), after graduating with distinction from the University of British Columbia (UBC) with a Bachelors of Science Degree in Health Sciences. During my clinical training, I was selected to participate in a highly-competitive fertility-focused internship.
I am an active member of the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors(CAND) and the Ontario Association of Naturopathic Doctors (OAND). I have also completed advanced training and certification in pharmacology and can prescribe regulated substances such as bio-identical hormones, natural desiccated thyroid (NDT), and intra-muscular injectables.
Outside the clinic, I enjoy spending time with my two young children, experimenting in the kitchen, staying active and connecting with nature.
