Hi, I'm Elena, a functional medicine practitioner
I’m a nurse practitioner, Institute of Functional Medicine (IFM) Certified Practitioner, Restorative Reproductive Medicine Practitioner, infertility warrior, and a proud boy mom.
My journey in healthcare isn't just a career—it's a calling deeply rooted in my European heritage and a lifelong commitment to serving my fellow humans.
Growing up in Eastern Europe, our kitchen was my first pharmacy. Natural remedies and whole foods weren't alternative treatments, but the foundation of wellness.
Now, with over a decade of medical experience, I've walked paths most practitioners only read about. From the intensity of trauma units to the operating room of surgical oncology, I've seen healthcare from every angle.
I’ve had the honor of supporting women from all walks of life—from breast cancer patients to those navigating years of unexplained infertility. Each story deepens my understanding of resilience, healing, and the incredible complexity of the female body.
One thing I’ve learned through years of clinical practice? Cookie-cutter fertility care doesn’t work. Your body isn’t a textbook, and your path to motherhood shouldn’t be treated like one.
If you've ever been told your labs look "fine" or that "everything is normal"—yet you still can’t conceive—you’re not alone. And you’re not crazy. You just haven’t had someone truly listen.
You deserve answers. You deserve support. You deserve a plan that honors your unique story.
✨ Ready to take the next step? Book your initial consultation and let’s create a fertility roadmap that’s as unique as you are.
I am here to support individuals facing a range of fertility challenges, including recurrent miscarriage, diminished ovarian reserve, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, male factor infertility , and even failed IVF cycles. For unexplained infertility, I work tirelessly to get to the root cause!
My Infertility Story
My husband and I decided to start our family when I turned 30. With a master’s degree in nursing and a background that made me feel pretty health-savvy, I thought I was prepared for this next chapter.
But when it came time to track my cycle, determine if I was ovulating, and set myself up for a healthy pregnancy, I was completely lost. I did what most people do in this situation—I Googled everything. I signed up for every trying-to-conceive (TTC) forum I could find, hoping to gain some insight into what I was doing wrong.
12 months later, no luck. Every month, when I got my period, I would find myself on the bathroom floor, sobbing uncontrollably. The guilt was overwhelming. My body, which had always been so reliable in every other aspect of my health, couldn’t do the one thing I needed it to—create life. It felt like a failure I couldn’t escape.
I questioned everything—my diet, my stress levels, even my worthiness as a future mother. It was as though my body was betraying me in the most fundamental way. And each month, the sadness would return, heavier than before.
After two years of trying, I reverted to conventional fertility treatments and went through several rounds of intrauterine insemination (IUI). Still, nothing. My husband and I underwent an extensive diagnostic workup, which revealed structural defects that could only be overcome with in vitro fertilization (IVF). It was a tough decision, but we decided to pursue IVF—and were ultimately blessed with our boys.
Hopefully, my story resonates with you, and you’ll know with certainty that not only can I relate to what you’re going through, but that I will also 100% have your back.
I understand the emotional and physical toll this journey can take, and I’m here to help you navigate it with compassion and expertise.
