Wellness Center

Welcome to the Wellness Center at Shady Grove Fertility. We provide holistic therapy services such as nutrition assistance that are designed to treat the “whole patient.” Our Wellness Center services do not replace advanced reproductive technology but rather support the patient during treatment. Our holistic practitioners are specially trained by infertility experts so that their approach to treatment addresses each patient’s individual needs.

Having a normal body mass index (BMI), getting plenty of sleep each night and limiting stress are a few ways to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Many people have found that nutrition, acupuncture, and massage can help reduce stress and keep you healthy: mentally, physically, and spiritually before and during treatment.

We welcome all individuals and couples who are trying to conceive to participate in both the online communities and in-person events we host, as well as take advantage of our Wellness Center programs and services.

Nutrition services are available via virtual consult with our licensed and registered dietitian, Meghan Sylvester. To schedule, call 301-798-9640.

Unfortunately, all in-person appointments are suspended at this time. We look forward to bringing back these services soon.

Women closer to their ideal body weight have a better chance of conception than those who are either over or under. Find out how a healthy diet and exercise can help you reach your goal of parenthood.
