Meet the Practitioner
Emily Davis, APRN, CNM
Emily Davis, CNM has been working with women and families since 2014, with a special focus on fertility and reproductive health. She is licensed to practice as a Certified Nurse-Midwife/Advanced Practice Registered Nurse in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa, offering care locally in Duluth, MN and via telemedicine.
​
She holds a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from The College of Saint Scholastica and a Master of Science in Nurse-Midwifery degree from Bethel University. After four years providing full-scope midwifery care for a large health care system, Emily transitioned her practice to focus specifically on fertility -- helping individuals understand their cycles, identify underlying barriers to conception, and prepare their bodies for pregnancy.
​
Years into practice she finally came to the realization that the structure of the conventional health care system was making it increasingly difficult to provide the holistic, root-cause fertility support women deserve. She set out to build a practice centered on relationship, individualized treatment, and sustained support throughout the fertility journey.
​​​She is nearing completion of an Integrative and Functional Medicine certification program through the Women's Integrative Medicine Institute, where she has trained under Dr. Aviva Romm, MD -- deepening her expertise in the hormonal and root-cause approaches central to fertility care. ​​

What is Integrative Medicine?
Integrative medicine is an approach to healthcare that combines conventional western medicine (labs, medications, etc.) with evidence-informed complementary therapies (nutrition, lifestyle changes, mind-body practices, sometimes supplements). The goal isn't to replace standard care but to treat the whole person and address the root causes of symptoms, not just manage them.  ​ Integrative medicine asks us to step back and ask questions like: -Why is this happening? -How do hormones, gut health, stress, sleep and environment interact? -What personalized changes will move this person toward optimal health?  ​ It often includes: -In-depth history and longer visits -Nutrition and lifestyle interventions -Stress and nervous system support -Selective, thoughtful use of supplements -Conventional care when needed ​ ​ ​
Why Integrative Medicine is especially important for women? 1.) Women's health is uniquely complex and often underserved in conventional models that are built to provide acute care.  Hormonal systems are interconnected and female physiology involves dynamic shifts across the lifespan (cycles, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, menopause). These systems are tightly linked to hormones, thyroid health, gut health and the stress response.  2.) Many women are told "everything is normal" despite experiencing fatigue, PMS, irregular cycles, fertility struggles, mood changes.  Integrative medicine focuses on optimal vs. merely normal, helping identify subtle imbalances and earlier on.  3.) Root causes often get missed Conditions such as PCOS, endometriosis, Hashimoto's Thyroiditis are influenced by inflammation, insulin resistance, gut health and environmental factors, not just hormones alone. Integrative medicine works upstream.  4.) It honors the mind-body connection Women are disproportionately affected by chronic stress, burnout, and trauma-related health issues.  Nervous system regulation, mental/emotional health and lifestyle rhythms are central healing. ​ ​
