Family planning is so much more involved than what we grew up thinking.

There is another way.

Get comprehensive genetic answers before conception, so you can make informed family planning decisions and protect your future baby’s health.

Preconception Genetic Testing & Counseling Package

Our signature package for hopeful parents is designed to help you skip the guesswork (and the years of waiting and wondering) and take clear, informed steps to grow your family.

Part 1: Carrier Screening & Karyotyping with Kimia

Carrier screening and karyotyping are essential first steps in your preconception journey. Working with Kimia, MS, CGC, our highly experienced genetic counselor, you’ll gain access to:

Carrier Screening: Identifies whether you or your partner carry genetic conditions that could be passed on to your child. 

Karyotyping: Evaluates parental chromosome structures to uncover potential risks for fertility challenges and genetic syndromes due to chromosomal imbalances.

We believe in proactive healthcare, which means completing these critical tests prior to pregnancy. These preconception tests help ensure your informed and proactive family planning. And insurance may cover some of these tests as part of your preconception healthcare.

Part 2: Integrative Genetic Testing with Natalie

As a genetic counselor who views patients and management from a holistic perspective, Natalie takes a personalized, whole-person approach to the second step of your preconception care. Using the nutrigenomics and lifestyle genomics, you’ll explore key areas of your genetics to uncover actionable insights for optimizing your health before conception:

Personalized Nutrition & Supplementation

Identifies genetic factors affecting nutrient absorption (e.g., choline, folate or vitamin D), essential for fertility and pregnancy outcomes.

Hormonal Balance

Reveals genetic predispositions that impact hormone metabolism, helping create optimal conditions for conception.

Detoxification, Inflammation Support

Examines genetic strengths or weaknesses in detox & inflammatory pathways to promote a healthy environment for conception and fetal development.

Inherited Risks

When combined with partner testing, helps identify potential disease risks, enabling proactive care and planning.

This Package Is For:

  • The woman just starting to think about starting a family and feeling overwhelmed by all the steps, tests, and information out there. You’re wondering, “Where do I even begin?”

  • The couple navigating infertility and feeling stuck, frustrated, or like they’re running out of answers. You’re ready for clarity and a proactive plan that gives you hope.

  • The couple with a family history of genetic conditions and a desire to understand how it might impact their future children—and how to address it ahead of time.

  • The proactive duo who believes in prevention over reaction. You’re ready to take control of your fertility journey with expert guidance, evidence-based insights, and a plan tailored just for you.
