After struggling with infertility, Emily Appeldorn was introduced to the Creighton Model FertilityCare System and NaProTECHNOLOGY. She and her husband Josh began using the method, and she quickly realized that there was an unmet need for education about doctors who work cooperatively with women and couple’s in order to optimize their reproductive health. Emily has been practicing as a Creighton Model FertilityCare Practitioner since October 2017 and now works as a practitioner for the St. Anne FertilityCare™ Center.  Emily has a Bachelor’s degree in Health Science from the University of Arkansas, and is passionate about educating women and couples about their reproductive health.  She especially enjoys working with women and couples diagnosed with infertility.  Emily and Josh have been married for ten years and live in Springdale with their two dogs. After struggling with infertility and working with physicians specially trained in NaProTECHNOLOGY, they welcomed their first child, Isabella Rose, in November 2019!
