Walk The Natural Path Hormone Health and Fertility Care

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!

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!

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.
