You want to get pregnant, soon (and you don't know where to start)
If you're feeling unsure about what actually matters in these months before conception, you’re in the right place. My work is all about making this season clearer, calmer, and more supportive, so you can move forward with confidence.
If preparing for pregnancy feels overwhelming, you’re not imagining it.
Most women are told to “just start trying.” But that advice skips the most important trimester of all: the 3-6 months before conception. These months influence fertility, hormone balance, egg and sperm quality, nutrition, mental health, stress resilience, and your baby’s long-term health.
Infertility affects 1 in 6 people, yet conversations about preventing it are still surprisingly rare.
My mission is to change that.
Meet Dr. Laura Costello
Doctor of Physical Therapy, women’s health educator, and author with almost 20 years of clinical experience. My work brings together evidence-based medicine and simple, holistic strategies to make preconception health clearer and easier to understand.
My own decade-long fertility journey—living with endometriosis, undergoing surgeries, IVF cycles, and experiencing loss—shaped the work I do today. I’m here to share what I learned on that journey and help you find steadier ground during a time that can feel uncertain and out of your hands.

The Book That’s Redefining How Women Prepare for Pregnancy
For decades, women were told to focus on their health after a positive test. But research is clear: the months before conception play a powerful role in fertility, pregnancy outcomes, and a baby’s long-term health.Â
Pretrimester is the first book to bridge that gap. It introduces the Pretrimester™—a science-backed, holistic framework that explains fertility, hormones, egg and sperm health, and preconception wellness in simple, practical steps.Â
If you’re looking for clarity—not guesswork—this book shows you how to prepare your mind, body, and environment before conception, so you can enter pregnancy feeling informed and empowered.
Speaking & Educational Events
I speak at clinics, wellness studios, community events, and corporate settings on women’s health, fertility, and the Pretrimester™—the critical months before pregnancy that shape long-term health and outcomes.
If you'd like to bring this education to your patients, clients, or community, you can learn more here.
