Infertility is unpredictable.
Your sense of self doesn’t have to be.
Embee health exists to offer compassionate, practical support for those navigating the complexities of infertility.
We know firsthand the effects of fertility treatment—it shakes your identity, confidence and place in the world.
Founded by a patient still in active IVF, we believe everyone deserves steady and personalized support that helps you stay grounded in who you are, no matter what treatment throws at you.
Hi, I’m Laura Mattis.
After years of trying to conceive and enduring multiple pregnancy losses, I dove into IVF treatment—experiencing diagnostic tests, egg retrievals, embryo transfers, and genetic testing.
The further and longer it’s gone on, the more overwhelmed I felt by the physical, emotional, and social demands of each step. My life was overtaken by infertility and I could think of nothing else.
Each procedure, setback, and small victory reinforced how crucial it is to have a kind, knowledgeable guide who understands the daily realities of fertility treatment and infertility.
That’s why I built embee health: to provide the resources and understanding I wish had when I started. I’m still on this path myself, working toward a child of my own, and I know firsthand the strength and resilience it takes to keep going.

What does “Embee health” Mean?
“embee” said out loud sounds like the letters “M-B”. These letters represent the Mind-Body connection, a scientifically-validated concept that our brains and bodies can influence each other.
When under stress/anxiety, for example, we feel the effects mentally (brain fog, rushing thoughts, frenzy or depression) and physically (high blood pressure, increased heart rate, shaking). By changing our mindset or managing our mental and/or physical reactions, we can actually change our experience of that stress.
Ideally, you’ll be facing parenthood at the end of this journey— you’ll need to be your strongest self.

Are You saying Infertility is because of stress?
No, we definitely don’t think a vacation or alcohol will solve infertility (THAT’S STUPID & RIDICULOUS… THERE, I SAID IT).
What we do believe is that fertility care should include both our minds and bodies. While REs and OB/GYNs support your hormones and physical reproductive health, embee health is here to support all the other—just as important—parts of you.
