Care for Fertility, Family, and the Transitions In Between

Thoughtful care for fertility, hormones, and life transitions — focused on relief, clarity, and the whole picture.

People come to me looking for relief from very real physical symptoms — fertility challenges, hormonal shifts, and the effects of stress and change on the body.

My approach focuses on treating what’s happening now while also helping you understand the patterns underneath it. I pay attention to physiology, timing, and context because bodies don’t exist in isolation — and clarity matters when you’re making decisions about your health.

This work is collaborative and practical. We prioritize what feels most supportive to you, move at a pace that makes sense, and focus on care that helps things feel clearer — not more overwhelming.

Services

At my Salt Lake City practice, care is designed to support individuals and couples navigating fertility, hormonal health, and life transitions with clarity and intention. From addressing physical symptoms and cycle-related concerns to supporting family-building, pregnancy, postpartum, and periods of change, I approach health with a whole-systems, integrative lens so care meets you where you are.

This work considers the body in context — including physiology, timing, stress, and lived experience — to help things feel clearer and more manageable rather than fragmented or overwhelming.

I offer in-person care in Salt Lake City, along with select virtual consultations, depending on your needs and circumstances.

Initial Appointment - 75–90 minutes

This first visit is designed to address what’s happening now while helping you understand how your symptoms fit into the larger picture. We’ll take time to review your health history, current concerns, and patterns over time. Treatment is included, along with discussion of next steps so you leave with both support and clarity about how to proceed. This visit is well-suited for individuals and couples navigating fertility, hormonal changes, or periods of transition who want thoughtful, whole-person care.

Follow-Up Appointments - 60 minutes

Follow-up visits build on the foundation set in the initial appointment. Care is adjusted as your body and circumstances change, with ongoing attention to symptoms, patterns, and timing. These sessions are focused, practical, and collaborative — supporting relief while continuing to refine understanding over time.

Brief Consultation (20–30 minutes)

This option is for individuals or couples who are unsure whether my approach is the right fit or want help deciding how to begin care. We’ll talk through your main concerns, discuss how I work, and outline appropriate next steps. This visit does not include treatment and is not meant to replace an initial appointment — it’s designed to support clarity and decision-making.

Care here is relationship-based and thoughtful. I work best with people who want symptom relief alongside a clearer understanding of their health — without rushing or oversimplifying the process.

How Care Progresses Here

Care here is not one-size-fits-all or linear. People come in at different stages, with different needs, and care adapts accordingly.

We typically begin by addressing what’s happening now — supporting symptom relief and stability — and then build understanding over time by connecting patterns across systems. As circumstances change, care is adjusted to remain responsive, practical, and appropriate.

Not everyone moves through every step. This framework reflects how care can evolve, offering clarity without pressure and support without obligation.

How Integrative Care Works Here

Does this sound familiar?

  • You’ve seen multiple providers, but your symptoms still don’t quite make sense.
  • You’ve been told things look “normal,” yet you don’t feel well.
  • You’re managing appointments, information, and decisions largely on your own.

Integrative care is not about adding more treatments — it’s about making sense of what’s already happening and responding thoughtfully.

In my practice, integrative women’s health means looking at symptoms in context rather than isolation. I consider how hormones, cycles, digestion, sleep, stress, and life transitions interact, and I use acupuncture and hands-on care to support the body while we clarify patterns over time.

Because care is individualized, the starting point looks different for everyone. Some people come in focused on symptom relief. Others are navigating fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, or a period of transition. Care adapts as needs change, with the goal of helping things feel clearer, steadier, and more manageable — not more complicated.

You don’t need to know exactly what you need before you begin. We start where you are, address what matters most right now, and build from there.

How to Begin Care

1. Initial Appointment

Your first visit is a comprehensive appointment focused on understanding what’s happening now. We’ll review your health history, current symptoms, and priorities, and begin treatment. This visit is designed to provide both support and clarity about next steps. This is the starting point for care.

2. Ongoing, Individualized Care

If it makes sense to continue, follow-up visits build on what we uncover in the initial appointment. Care is adjusted based on how your body responds and how circumstances change. Some people focus on symptom relief, while others continue care through fertility, hormonal shifts, or life transitions. There is no preset plan — care evolves as needed.

3. Continue, Pause, or Return As Needed

Some people work with me over a defined period of time. Others return periodically during transitions or when new concerns arise. There is no obligation to ongoing care. You are always welcome to pause, adjust frequency, or return when support feels helpful. Care here is meant to support autonomy, not dependency.

If you’re ready to begin, you can start with an initial appointment.

Book an Initial Appointment

If you’re new to the practice, the best place to start is an initial appointment.

This visit is designed to help us understand what’s happening now, address immediate concerns, and determine what next steps — if any — would be most supportive. Treatment is included, along with time to discuss findings and recommendations.

There is no expectation to commit to ongoing care. Some people come in for short-term support, while others continue over time as needs evolve. We’ll decide what makes sense together.

If you’re unsure whether an initial appointment is the right fit, you also have the option to book a brief consultation to ask questions and clarify next steps.

Dr. Heather Seay, holistic health practitioner and acupuncturist at Awaken and Bloom in Salt Lake City

I work with people who want relief from symptoms and a clearer understanding of what’s underneath them.

My approach connects physiology with timing, stress, and lived experience, so care can adapt over time rather than feel fragmented.

“Relieving symptoms matters — and so does understanding the patterns beneath them. When care accounts for timing, stress, and physiology, it can adapt as life changes rather than feel fragmented.”

FAQ

No. You do not need a referral or a formal diagnosis to book an appointment.

Care here focuses on both symptom relief and understanding the patterns underneath them.

Appointments are unhurried, individualized, and designed to adapt over time rather than follow a one-size-fits-all protocol. The goal is clarity, autonomy, and care that makes sense in the context of your life.

That’s okay.
