Loren Sofía de la Cruz

Founder, Innate Fertility™ & Functional Fertility Coach

Certified Pre- & Postnatal Coach | Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner | Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner | Certified Women's Health & Endometriosis Coach | Root Cause Protocol Consultant | Fertility Awareness Educator

Hi, I’m Loren Sofía—founder of Innate Fertility™ and someone who’s been exactly where you are. Before I became a practitioner, I was the patient: navigating hormone imbalances, autoimmune issues, pregnancy loss, thyroid dysfunction, and a long list of unexplained symptoms. I was told my labs were “normal.” I was told to just wait it out. But deep down, I knew there had to be another way.

So I took my fertility into my own hands. By applying a functional, evidence-based, and ancestral approach, I not only restored my fertility, I healed my entire body, including reversing lifelong asthma. Today, I combine clinical training with personal experience to help other women do the same.

I’ve supported thousands of women and couples on their path to pregnancy, and I’d be honored to help you uncover what’s really going on, take back control, and finally move toward the baby you’ve been dreaming of.

Dr. Laura Burcher-Heaney

Functional Fertility Coach

Doctor of Clinical Nutrition | Masters of Applied Clinical Nutrition | Advanced Clinically-Trained Nutrition Response Testing Practitioner

Hi, I am Dr. Laura! I am a clinical nutritionist with over six years of experience. I hold both a master's degree and a doctorate in Clinical Nutrition. My passion lies in helping individuals and couples on their journey to parenthood, specializing in fertility and prenatal care. I believe in bridging evidence-based practices with ancestral nutrition principles, combining the best of modern science and traditional wisdom to offer a holistic approach to health.

With a root cause approach, I was able to address my own health concerns, including PCOS, dysmenorrhea, anxiety, and more. I truly believe that honoring the body with the proper foods, lifestyle actions, and more supports fertility and helps create healthy babies I feel so lucky that I get to help women increase their reproductive potential, increase positive pregnancy outcomes, and improve postpartum recovery, all using a holistic and natural approach.

Whitney Conway

Functional Fertility Coach

Registered Nurse | Bachelor's of Science in Nursing | Root Cause Protocol Consultant | Functional Medicine Practitioner | Certified Hair Tissue Mineral Analyst

Hi! I'm Whitney Conway. I’m a Registered Nurse with a decade of experience in the medical field. After receiving my Bachelor's of Science in Nursing, my journey began in the fast-paced environment of the Emergency Room, where I witnessed both the incredible life-saving capabilities of modern medicine, and also the limitations of our health care system when it comes to true disease prevention. This dual perspective, coupled with my own health struggles, ignited my passion for Functional Medicine. My approach to healthcare is rooted in the belief that our body, given the proper signals, has an innate ability to not only heal itself, but thrive. I love supporting individuals on their journey to optimal health, helping them understand the underlying causes of their symptoms and empowering them with strategies for long-term wellness. In my practice, I integrate conventional medical knowledge with alternative principles to provide a holistic and personalized approach to health. My mission is to help you create a healing environment using simple and evidence-based strategies so that your body can accomplish what it was made to do.

Catherine McLeod-Moya

Functional Fertility Coach

Hello, I’m Catherine, a Registered Nurse with a decade of clinical experience working across a variety of settings, most notably in women’s health and postpartum. I have had the pleasure of supporting moms and babies on an inpatient postpartum floor, at a birthing center, and via telehealth offering care management.

My own health struggles led me to pursue holistic health and functional medicine, and I had the unique experience of providing IV nutrition, ozone therapy, and regenerative treatments in a functional medicine clinic. I have had the privilege of coaching women in their preconception and fertility journeys, as well as supporting them alongside their maternity and postpartum experience. I believe there is so much value to ancestral wisdom as equally as modern evidence-based research, and this guides my approach to wellness. I love digging into research and implementing functional lab testing, as I have found this to be an integral tool in guiding the coaching process, and have seen some incredible breakthroughs in my career!

I am located in the Seattle, WA area and I love spending time in nature with my husband and 3 boys, doing pilates, playing instruments, and doing embroidery.

Katie Martin

Client Experience & Operations Specialist

Nutritionist | Postpartum Doula

Hello! I am Katie and I live in Colorado with my husband, two kids and bulldog. I’ve spent the last 10 years working in the health and wellness field. After I got my degree in nutrition and dietetics, I worked as a fitness and health coach helping individuals reach their health goals. For the last 3 years, I’ve also run a postpartum doula practice where I helped women navigate their postpartum period and learn how to care for themselves and for their babies. Over the last 2 years I’ve shifted to providing operation support for businesses that help women find true balanced health and also help them thrive during their pregnancies and postpartum. This work allows me to leverage my operational strengths, contribute to the health and wellness of women, and balance my life as a mother and constant learner. Outside of my work when I am not chasing my kids around I enjoy reading, spending time outside, staying physically active, and learning about all things health and wellness.

Josie York

Functional Fertility Coordinator

Fertility Awareness Educator I Fertility Doula I Mental Health and Addictions Counsellor I Social Service Worker

Hi, I’m Josie York. I’m here to help you feel empowered, confident, and informed on your fertility and wellness journey. I reside in Ontario, Canada with my cat and in the summer I enjoy the many lakes and rivers in my area. As someone who’s navigated health challenges, fertility optimization, and the frustration of “normal” lab results that didn’t tell the whole story, I know what it feels like to search for answers and clarity. That’s why I’m passionate about guiding women like you to gain clarity around how to better understand your cycles, your hormones, and your body. Whether you’re trying to conceive, avoid pregnancy naturally, or simply learn more about your hormones, I’m here to support you through the decision making process, every step of the way.

When I’m not working, you’ll find me spending time snuggled up with my cat, soaking up the sun, enjoying a cold plunge, cooking up nourishing meals, or diving deeper into ways I can improve my own health and show up authentically for you.

You deserve to feel heard, informed, and empowered—let’s get there together.
