Restorative Reproductive Medicine (RRM) is a scientific approach to reproductive medicine that cooperates with and restores the normal, healthy anatomy and physiology of your reproductive system. Unlike conventional medicine which often suppresses or thwarts reproductive function, RRM aims to cooperate with, support, and optimize natural reproductive function.

With her expertise, Michigan families receive root-cause–focused care that improves fertility naturally, all from the comfort of home.

Understanding Fertility in Michigan
Michigan’s population trends show an increasing average maternal age of 29.5 years and a concerning rise in infertility-related issues—including those linked to endometriosis. Environmental factors, delayed childbearing, and lifestyle stressors continue to affect natural conception for many women.
Alarmingly, nearly one-third of Michigan’s 83 counties are classified as maternity care deserts, meaning access to OB/GYNs and fertility specialists is extremely limited—especially in rural and northern areas.
