A New Approach to
Fertility Support
Our approach:
Supporting reproductive health at the cellular level
The path to parenthood is rarely a straight line. At Origins, we support fertility for all genders by addressing the whole person— because we know that inflammation anywhere in the body impacts someone's ability to conceive.
Our approach includes five complementary therapies, each addressing a different layer of reproductive health based on the patient's needs.
Our fertility therapies include:
-
Intrauterine Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
Regenerative therapy using your body's own healing factors to optimize the uterine environment and support implantation.
-
Acupuncture
Hormone regulation, improved pelvic circulation and stress support — tailored for IVF, IUI and natural cycle protocols.
-
IUI — Frozen Intrauterine Insemination
Offered for individuals and couples using frozen sperm to conceive, with inclusive LGBTQ+ affirming care.
-
Maya Abdominal Massage & Craniosacral therapy
Gentle hands-on bodywork to improve circulation and release restrictions affecting ovarian, uterine, and gastrointestinal health.
-
Naturopathic Medicine
Root-cause care including fertility and reproductive health education, lab analysis, semen analysis, targeted supplementation and medications when appropriate, and cycle optimization.
Intrauterine PRP:
Your body's own healing power
Dr. Laura Clevenger was one of the first providers to bring Intrauterine PRP to Oregon. She has performed numerous procedures supporting patients with thin uterine lining, recurrent implantation failure and complex reproductive conditions.
What is PRP?
A blood sample is drawn, spun in a centrifuge and concentrated into platelet-rich plasma — containing 10 to 20 times the platelet concentration of whole blood. This is then introduced directly into the uterine cavity through a thin catheter. At Origins, all PRP is processed using an FDA-approved device with only fresh — never frozen — plasma.
PRP contains over 1,100 proteins and key growth factors — stimulating endometrial growth, promoting new blood vessel formation and creating the biological conditions necessary for successful implantation.
Who may
benefit from PRP?
- Thin uterine lining
- Recurrent implantation failure
- Asherman's syndrome and uterine adhesions
- Adenomyosis and endometritis
- Unexplained infertility
- Post-surgical uterine recovery
Why Origins?
Dr. Clevenger's training at the National University of Natural Medicine, her post-graduate fellowship in integrative fertility and her extensive procedural experience make her one of Oregon's most skilled practitioners in this emerging field. She is an inclusive LGBTQ+ affirming provider who welcomes patients of all genders and family structures.

PRP frequently
asked questions
Can’t find the answer your looking for? Contact us.
Is the procedure painful?
Most patients experience mild cramping, similar to period cramps or a pap smear.
When in my cycle is PRP performed?
We time the procedure differently based on the condition and the reason for performing the intrauterine PRP. We will decide the timing based on what is best for your body.
How many treatments will I need?
Some protocols involve a single infusion per cycle. Others may recommend two infusions in one cycle or one infusion across multiple cycles depending on your individual clinical picture. Dr. Clevenger will discuss the right protocol for you at your consultation.
What should I expect afterwards?
You may experience mild spotting, cramping and clear/yellow discharge following the procedure. Avoid ibuprofen and NSAIDs for 7 days before and after. Eat beforehand and stay well hydrated for the blood draw.
Are there any risks?
There is a rare risk of infection with any intrauterine procedure and the procedure may not be effective for every patient. Dr. Clevenger will review all risks and alternatives with you during your consultation.
Is it covered by insurance?
Intrauterine PRP is not covered by insurance. HSA and FSA payments are accepted.
Can PRP be used alongside IUI or natural cycles?
Yes. While most published research focuses on embryo transfer cycles, we believe PRP can also benefit patients trying naturally or utilizing IUI. Dr. Clevenger will help you determine the best protocol for your situation.
What does the research say?
June 2025 — A comprehensive review found intrauterine PRP may enhance endometrial thickness and improve implantation and pregnancy rates in women with refractory thin endometrium.
March 2025 — A network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials found PRP was the most effective treatment for recurrent implantation failure among all interventions studied.

“I have always been a believer in Acupuncture and it has always helped me so much in balancing and healing my body. I went through some challenges with my health and I found myself back on the table fortunately for me. My acupuncturist is also a naturopath. So working side-by-side with her knowledge has been so helpful and guiding during these times of the aging body and the challenges it presents. Thank you Kinzie! You are always so good at simplifying things and making it easy to understand. You have really good communication skills and you are also compassionate. You're really good at what you do and I feel blessed to have you in my life.”

“Dr. Kinzie has been an incredible help over the past year as I finished cancer treatment and managed the resulting side effects. She listens intently, asks thoughtful questions, and is very encouraging. While oncology was life-saving, there were many issues they simply could not tackle; Dr. Kinzie took the time to develop detailed, varied treatment plans that truly helped me feel human again. I highly recommend her, especially for those with unique health challenges.”

“I started working with Dr. Krebsbach several years ago after hitting a wall with my current Naturopath. I was having a wide array of health concerns but was struggling to get any answers as to why. After only a few months of working with Dr. Krebsbach we were able to get some pretty major diagnosis and then continued working together to treat the symptoms. Now a few years later I've made a ton of progress and am feeling more like myself than I have in years! Heather is very knowledgeable and was willing to order a wide array of tests to help find my root causes. She's very warm and kind and I've enjoyed working with her. I'm immensely grateful to Heather and her team!”

“Dr. Heather is an amazing naturopath. From the first visit, she demonstrated her interest in learning more about me, my health history and my family's medical history. I have never had a doctor take the time that she does to drill down and understand what is influencing my health status today. I appreciate that she takes a holistic approach and is always looking for prevention and causes rather than just treating the symptoms. I have recommended to my friends that they go to Dr. Heather as well -- and many of us now do! I am grateful to have Dr. Heather on my team.”

“I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Laura Clevenger. From the moment you walk into the room, she makes you feel completely comfortable. She is always smiling, incredibly sweet, and somehow manages to make every visit feel reassuring (and she even laughs at my jokes, which is the most important part). Dr. Clevenger is extremely knowledgeable and takes the time to truly listen. She explains things clearly, answers every question thoughtfully, and never makes you feel rushed. You can tell she genuinely cares about her patients and loves what she does. It is rare to find a doctor who is not only this skilled but also this warm, personable, and genuinely kind. I feel very grateful to have her as my doctor and would recommend her to anyone.”

“Dr. Heather (ND) has helped me tremendously over the past few years. I truly believe she is one of the primary contributors to achieving a successful pregnancy via IUI at 39! In addition to fertility, she's helped me with diet, sleep, fatigue and preparing for postpartum! She's comprehensive, listens deeply, and really helps you get to the root of any health concerns in a holistic way. Go see her!”

“I have been receiving treatment from Casey. He is a miracle worker. I had intense pain for over a year- after 4 sessions my pain has decreased significantly. He really knows what he is doing. I had never had acupuncture before and he was great about walking me through the process. I wish I had come in sooner!”

“Dr. Carly has been such an integral care provider for me, addressing longstanding health issues I assumed I would just need to live with. She is persistent and creative when looking for solutions while still being patient-centered, keeping my needs in mind and staying flexible. Her approach is positive and affirming and she has a great sense of humor, which particularly helps when dealing with chronic conditions. I’ve recommended her to many friends and colleagues and believe most would benefit from having a Dr Carly in their care team!”

“I can’t recommend Dr. Carly enough. Getting an appointment was quick and seamless, which was a huge relief. For the first time in a long time, I felt like a doctor actually listened to my concerns instead of rushing me out the door. I had been struggling with inflammation, weight retention, and hormonal concerns that I couldn't quite pin down, but Dr. Carly didn't dismiss my intuition. We started with thorough baseline testing and now check in every couple of months to adjust my care. She always starts our sessions by asking how I’m feeling, which makes me feel truly supported in my health journey. Now I’m down nearly 20 lbs and the supplements she has me taking are working with my body and not against it.”

“If you’re struggling with gut health, hormone balance, or fertility concerns, I highly recommend Dr. Carly Martin! Over the past year and a half, she has helped me fix significant gut health/digestion issues, and I’ve continued to see amazing progress in both my hormone balance and fertility journey. I’m so grateful to have found such a knowledgeable and supportive naturopath!”
