Walk The Natural Path Hormone Health and Fertility Care

After years of trying to conceive naturally and then facing the heartbreak of unexplained infertility, we turned to IVF with so much hope. Unfortunately, our first two embryo transfers ended in miscarriage, and we were searching for answers that traditional medicine couldn’t provide. Working with Dr. Samantha was one of the best decisions we made. She took the time to look deeper than anyone else had by ordering comprehensive blood work and a stool analysis to identify underlying inflammation and gut health issues. Instead of treating symptoms, she created a personalized plan to help heal my body from the inside out. Dr. Samantha is incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly listens. Throughout the process, I always felt supported and confident that she genuinely cared about helping us achieve our dream of becoming parents. Today, I am 32 weeks pregnant with our miracle baby girl, and while I know there were many pieces that came together to get us here, I truly believe Dr. Samantha played a significant role in preparing my body for a successful pregnancy. If you’ve been struggling with infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, or simply want to optimize your health before trying to conceive, I cannot recommend Dr. Samantha enough. I will forever be grateful for the care, guidance, and hope she gave us during one of the hardest seasons of our lives. Thank you for helping make our miracle possible.

Dr. Samantha Ess is truly the best! I discovered her on Instagram and followed her for quite some time, quietly learning from her posts (she shares a lot of great info for free!). After experiencing two miscarriages, I knew I needed to take a more proactive approach—and that’s when I decided to work with Dr. Ess. She created a personalized plan for me based on thorough testing and, most importantly, she focused on identifying the root cause. Shortly after starting the plan she designed, I became pregnant. While it was scary, I felt confident that this time would be different because of the changes I had made under her guidance. I’m overjoyed to share that we welcomed our baby in September! I truly can’t thank Dr. Ess enough. She is incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and genuinely kind. I recommend her to anyone who will listen—and if you’re struggling with infertility, reach out to her, you’ll be so happy you did 💛 I’m already looking forward to working with her on my postpartum journey!

I want to share my experience working with Samantha because it truly changed my life. Before working with her, I was dealing with a tremendous amount of gut issues on a daily basis — painful and foul-smelling gas, constipation, and constant discomfort. On top of that, my cycles were extremely irregular. I wasn’t ovulating normally at all and would typically only have a cycle once every 3–6 months. My husband and I had been trying to get pregnant since around April 2023 with no success. I was doing everything I was told to do. I took vitamins for PCOS (which I had been diagnosed with), followed a strict diet free of gluten, dairy, and seed oils, focused on whole foods, prioritized sleep and movement — yet I was still in so much pain, both menstrual and digestive. I remember crying at work one day because my period pain was so overwhelming. I tried three medicated cycles with no success and was given zero explanation as to why they weren’t working. I was simply told to move on to IUI or IVF. That’s when I decided to make an appointment with Samantha. I began working with her in October 2024, and once we started addressing my gut infections, I ovulated naturally just two weeks later — something that hadn’t happened in months. During my first gut protocol, I got two periods in two months for the first time in years. Through continued work and small but meaningful lifestyle changes that Samantha helped me implement and truly prioritize, I unexpectedly (to me, i wasn’t sure I’d ever get there without medicine) conceived in October 2025. This was not a quick fix — but it was absolutely worth it. My periods stopped being painful, and they were slowly but surely becoming more and more regular before we conceived. I feel so much better in my body, and I finally feel understood and supported. Working with Samantha was truly a gift from God. I plan to continue working with her through postpartum recovery and again whenever we decide to try to conceive in the future. I am beyond grateful.

My husband and I worked with Dr Ess this year and could not be more pleased. She is an expert in her field and the care she has for her patients is apparent every step of the way. After years of TTC we are pregnant naturally! We wouldn’t be here without the help from Dr Ess. We are forever grateful and would absolutely recommend her to anyone TTC!

Dr. Samantha has been absolutely amazing to work with on our fertility journey. I came to her a total bundle of nerves & having had terrible experiences with MDs thus far and having been totally ignored when I brought up concerns and tried to advocate for myself. Dr. Samantha actually listened to me, validated me and gave me tangible action steps that helped me feel in control of my journey and I truly believe helped to get my hormones healthy so that I could get pregnant. I am now sitting beside my healthy and happy 3 month old and still can't believe it. I am so excited to continue working with her postpartum & as we look to continue growing our family! I really wish her standard of care was the norm. Thank you so much Dr. Samantha!!
