Families We Work With
Queer Women and Men
70% of the families we work with are queer.
We are comfortable and familiar working with all families: lesbian,
gay, bisexual, transgender, polyamorous, group families, etc.
Having worked with more than 2,000 queer families around childbearing
and parenting we are singularly positioned to help queer families
with our culturally specific issues.
Older women
One of our specialties at MAIA is geting women
over 40 pregnant using their own eggs. Close to 50% of our clientele
is over 40. We routinely see women over 45. Through our methods
of fertility optimization and through charting and careful timing,
our success rate is quite high.
Single Moms
Close to 40% of the women we work with are single
moms-to-be. We carry no judgement about single motherhood–in
fact, we celebrate the strong powerful women who choose to parent
on their own. We are able to provide a quality of care and support
that is unparalleled.
Transgendered/Gender Fluid Parents
We have worked with countless families where
at least one parent is trans, cross gendered, gender fluid, or
gender queer. As a result, we are quite familiar with the pertinent
issues surrounding conception, pregnancy, and early parenting.
Many families come to us both for the cultural sensitivity, but
also for information that is difficult fo find elsewhere.
Straight Families
30% of the families we work with are heterosexual.
Because we are natural fertility specialists many people come
to us who are either not drawn to the western infertility approach
or have tried it without success and would like a holistic approach.
Our fertility awareness and timing plans are so personalized that
many women working with reproductive endocrinologists find the
missing link after consulting with us.
Fertility Enhancement
Unique Counseling & Consultation Services
As leading natural fertility specialists, we
will design and update a personalized plan with you whether you
are having difficulty conceiving or are just beginning. Wherever
you are in the process of bringing a baby into your life, we are
here to assist you. We work in tandem with fertility specialists
and sperm banks, or we can function as your sole care provider.
We are able to provide not only comprehensive fertilty care, but
also miscarriage consultation and the support often needed in
early pregnancy, before prenatal care has been established.
Preconception Consultations include:
· Natural fertility enhancement
· Chart analysis and timing recommendations
· Innovative approaches for older women
· Known donor negotiations
· The ins and outs of sperm banks
· Fertility enhancement for men
· Step-by-step guidance
Fertility Treatment for (bio) Men
In tandem with our acupuncture services, MAIA
offers fertility enhancement services for male partners, co-parents,
or known donors. By encouraging a healthy lifestyle, nutritional
and herbal changes, MAIA is here to help you increase your chances
of conception. In careful review of semen analyses we are able
to design a timing and method plan tailored to the combined need
of moms-to-be and the quality and availability of the sperm being
used.
Known Donors/Co-Parents
MAIA offers both in-person and phone
consultations for potential known donors. We are happy to
meet with you and your potential donor to help you to clarify
your visions of family. Using the expertise developed from having
worked with countless versions if intentional families, we can
help you to be as specific and clear in your communication as
possible. These consults help greatly to reduce the afterthoughs
of “I wish I’d thought to ask . . .”. We are
also available to consult with the potential donor/co-parent (and
his partner as well) to answer some of the natural concerns that
come up for men and transwomen considering this role.

Counseling Services
A significant element of the preconception care
offered at MAIA is counseling. Together we can help you clarify
your:
· Family vision
· Co-parenting agreements
· Relationship concerns
· Extended family issues
· Whether to use a known donor or a sperm bank, etc.
We help families to manage the emotional rollercoaster
ride of the insemination cycles. We assist single mothers and
mothers-to-be in creating the support circles needed to parent
to their maximum potential. We also aid women in clarifying whether
or not they want to parent.
