Clients come to us when they're experiencing a prolonged delay in pregnancy, repeat miscarriages, diagnosed with low ovarian reserve, not getting the answers they're looking for, want successful embryo banking & implantation on the first round of IVF or simply want to improve their health before pregnancy.
They often feel tired from expensive failed fertility treatments or stuck on their fertility journey because they have no clear diagnosis and no clarity on what to do beyond what they've already tried. Many aren't ready to move forward with IVF and want a holistic approach that'll give their bodies a chance to conceive naturally.
We help women and couples gain clarity on why they're not getting pregnant and treat the root causes of their fertility and health challenges so that they can feel better in their body, accelerate their time to pregnancy, reduce cost on fertility treatments and lower their risk of pregnancy complications.
Our Approach
Our treatment approach is personalized to your unique circumstances and goals, aligning to your individual physiology, psychology and preferences.
Here's how we personalize the treatment experience:
Holistic Assessment
We start with a comprehensive evaluation of your labs, lifestyle, stress levels, nutrition & exercise habits, as those factors affect fertility.
Stress & Sleep Management
We utilize evidence-based techniques to reduce your stress and restore your sleep quality as these factors are cornerstones to hormonal balance and reproductive health optimization.
Chronic Disease Management
We implement first-line interventions to effectively manage obesity, pre-diabetes, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and fibroids as these conditions can impact conception.
Nutrition Customization
We teach you the nuances of becoming more fertile through customization of nutrition based on your unique preferences, psychology and physiology.
Metabolic Optimization
We guide you in fine-tuning your diet & exercise regimens to support your metabolic health - how well your body manages energy, as this factor is the bridge to optimal overall health.
Mind-Body Connection
We restore the mind-body connection, nurturing a positive mindset, addressing any underlying limiting beliefs that may affect your feelings around grounded-ness and safety.
Spiritual Alignment
We co-create experiences that connect you to your faith, well-being and purpose, as these components cultivate self-esteem and personal power needed to make healthy decisions.

Being a powerful woman is not just about looking good, it's about full embodiment of vibrant fertility, personal power & confidence. - Dr. K. Duga
Dr. Kertia W. Duga serves as the 'middle fertility doc' between the gynecologist and reproductive endocrinologist (IVF doctor), caring for the brave woman and couple navigating through the confusing landscape of 'infertility'.
She is the best kind of doctor to see if you feel like your diagnosis doesn’t tell you what’s wrong. She takes her time to see the connections, and follow symptoms of disease to the root of the problem.
She is able to identify the root causes of your ‘infertility’ by using functional medicine testing, advanced hormone testing, looking for ‘optimal’ levels in your labs, not just ‘normal’, and reviewing your menstrual cycle charts with you.
Dr. Kertia W. Duga is a board certified naturopathic physician which means her medical specialty is in a subset of medicine called naturopathic medicine. Think of your family doctor, but instead of using drugs and surgery first, while knowing very little to nothing about diet and exercise, Dr. Duga uses drugs second and is an expert in nutrition, exercise, supplements and botanicals.
She has been a healthcare professional for over 15 years. She is the founder of She Does Medicine: Natural & Integrative Fertility, an online women's health clinic that expands access to quality health care that meets the market demand for affordable and effective fertility treatment options.
As a naturopathic physician with a subspecialty in integrative endocrinology- the study of hormones and metabolism, she is an expert in the natural treatment of many woman's health conditions and has used her expertise to create a natural proven protocol that helps women and couples increase their odds of getting pregnant.
While working as an ER nurse she realized that our medical system doesn't address the root causes of the medical conditions most patients are facing. And because of this people who only access health care through the medical system rarely become better or healthier when they are having health issues. As a result. she witnessed patients get stuck in finding a solution to their health problems when conventional medicine failed at getting them results.
Inspired to create a new model of health care that helped patients improve their health and thrive in life, she made the shift to naturopathic medicine in 2012 and has since become one of the very few medically trained and naturally focused women's health specialists. Her work today helps women and couples get out of the "infertility" struggle so that they can have a healthy pregnancy without the emotional stress.
She is a sister to many women as a Soror to the ladies of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority and the oldest of three siblings. She is a dancer and is always down for loungin', struttin' and dancin' on the beach.
