In her CE lectures, she merges her expertise in Natural Family Planning Cycle Charting with perinatal care in calculating precise due dates, how to flag risks for miscarriages, how to prescribe progesterone to prevent pre-term births, and how to naturally space out the next pregnancy during breastfeeding.

Dr. Jessica Liu, ND has been a speaker for various events and organizations including The Canadian Fertility Show, The Children’s International Wellness Conference. With an extensive background in natural reproductive care, Dr. Jessica Liu, ND has helped many couples conceive healthy babies, whether naturally, or alongside assisted reproductive techniques such as IUI or IVF.
