Values

Integrative Medicine located in Portland, OR

Our values inform all that we do – What they are and why that matters?

Exceptional Care

- We are incredibly knowledgeable in our fields

- We push the boundaries to move our fields when they are limitedExample – how we are using Intrauterine PRP.

Creative

Thinking outside the box

Financially conscious

Improving fertility and growing a family can be an expensive process, especially if you need to buy sperm, eggs or embryos. We do not take advantage of your deep desire to have a family. In fact, we try and even guard you from yourself when you spin.

Loads of supplements – that is not our style. We focus on the most important ones specifically for you. Not because the internet said they are good for X, but because that is what your body specifically needs for support.We think about cost in a broader sense – not just financial but also mental emotional and future based. For example, it might be easy for someone to get pregnant now, but if they want a big family and their labs say that could be problematic in the future, it is best for us to collaborate with IVF now for their future family building ease.

Insurance - whenever we can, we use a patient’s medical insurance for care.

Family Focused

Whether there is 1 parent or 5, and 1 child or 6, we want the entire family unit to be as well as possible in all stages of the process of building and growing and raising your family. For us it is not about just getting you pregnant, but keeping you pregnant, supporting you and your family members to have as much ease throughout the pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum recovery time as possible

We want you to enjoy all stages of your family building – conception, pregnancy, postpartum, and then back again. We want you to have the energy and balance of mood to maintain your mental and physical health as well as your relationships

Body Positive

We want you to feel good in your body, regardless of its size. We like you to have enough strength and energy to enjoy any of the activites you want to engage in.

Queer Affirming

We love and support all types of families. With the owners being a lesbian couple with 2 amazing children, they want anyone who wants the joy of family building to experience it.

Empowered

You know your body best. Your knowledge of your body and your intuition about what you need is important. We value your thoughts and your experience.

Integrative

True integrative medicine, for us, means building you a team of experts specific for your needs. Within our clinic, we have expertise within a variety of areas, but we also have a network throughout the city of 100s of amazing providers that will also help with your goals and healing. We know them well and have close relationships to not just refer you, but to maintain care to make sure the new team member is the right match for you. This isn’t about transferring care, this is about true collaborationWe are better together! When working with us alongside IVF, for example, we help optimize those treatments and minimize side effects.

We also are good medical “translators” . We take the time to discuss all the options presented by other providers and look at those options with you to figure out the best plan.

Collaborative

What is it like to have a team that meets to discuss your case together? What would it be like to not spend most of your visit repeating yourself or pushing a provWant to try out all of us? Want to see one of us or all of us? No problem. Our feelings will never be hurt if you like one provider’s acupuncture style better than another, or one person’s bodywork. Or just simply one person’s schedule works better for you. Feel free to try us out. Also let us know if you need a different style of acupuncture than we provide, for example, or a provider that is closer to your house. We know many great providers and can help.

Remember, we want to decrease stress. So, if that means seeing an acupuncturist near you and doing telemed with our ND – great.

Humble

Noone is perfect. We are always striving to do better and we want you to be part of that with us. If something isn’t right, talk to us about it. Wrong referral, frustration with bills, not understanding the point of a treatment plan – let’s talk. We value that honesty. We will never be mad. If you don’t feel like we are the right providers for you, let us know, so we can improve but also so we can get you to someone better matched for you. We listen well and care about what you know about your body, your instincts, and what you have experienced.

Passionate

We love what we do!

Safe Space

Many of our patients have experienced trauma within the medical community, through a body that carries pain, or through boundaries that have been violated. We care about your feeling of safety in our space, with touch and with procedures. We are very creative and can often arrive at the same goal through many options, so talk to us about your fears. We can help you know what is possible

Flexible

There is not one right way to get pregnant, give birth, feed your child and raise your child. The “natural” community can sometimes get lost in their opinions of the “best” way to do things. We do not agree that there is one best way. The best way, is the way that achieves the best outcome with the least amount of stress on the family unit. Need to have a C-section or use formula – no problem. We support you! Need to use IVF or buy your sperm – No problem! Taking medication for mood support – wonderful! On a GLP-1 – great! We are here to minimize judgement, even against yourself, to help optimize your joy and minimize your stress while improving your health.

Individualized medicine

We want to know you – your passions, hobbies, family members, hopes/dreams. This isn’t just about helping you feel better, but we also want you to live your best life; have healthy relationships; have a good balance with work; enjoy time with your family …We often don’t recommend supplements until seeing your labs, to make sure you are taking things that your body needs.

Is the diet, all the appointments, all the supplements causing you more stress than it is helping? We care about the bigger picture and want to make a plan that is truly individualized for you. We have a deep bag of tricks, so if one isn’t working well for you, talk to us about it and we likely have at least 3 other options to explore, if not more.

Educational

We love to educate and empower our patients about their body in health and imbalance. The more we understand what is happening, the more we can support the body’s healing. I cannot be the provider I am without my colleagues and teachers

As experts in the field, we often speak at medical conferences or teach at medical schools. Mentorship – we are committed to training the next generation of providers. We often have at least one post graduate fellow in our group who is learning from us in a 2 year intensive. We also often have medical students shadowing us. Outside of clinic, Dr. Stefani also co-runs a 6 month mentorship group for providers wanting to improve their skills in fertility medicine (www.art-of-fertility.com)

We aim to help - Whether it is one visit of new insights, perspectives, targeting referral, or 10 years of working together. We look forward to being on your team!
