Marc and Erin Sherman founded Organic Conceptions after a decade long struggle with primary and secondary infertility. The passion came after he and his wife Erin struggled with infertility, decided to adopt, and then unexpectedly found themselves pregnant. Realizing that this phenomenon occurs regularly, they decided to conduct the first-ever research project to better understand the insights, patterns, and commonalities from similar stories. Their findings and the wisdom uncovered in this research are now empowering couples to achieve clarity, connection, and certainly in their paths forward.

All of us at Organic Conceptions believe deeply in our purpose and our program—to help couples realize their dream of parenthood. Many of us have been there ourselves, or have seen loved ones struggle with trying to conceive. We understand, and we are here to help.

Erin & Marc Sherman, Founders

Organic Conceptions began with founders Erin and Marc Sherman’s personal struggle in trying to conceive for close to a decade. Using both qualitative and quantitative research practices, they dug deep into stories from couples like them who unexpectedly overcame infertility. Every story individually holds a massive amount of insight, however when weaved together, they provide a road map that can guide others on their journey to parenthood and beyond.

Kate Webster, PhD. Chief Researcher

Kate makes meaning of the stories we have collected. Her background in Multivariate Statistics combined with a PhD in Psychology makes her the perfect partner. Her philosophy is simple—to understand, at the very core, the sorrows and joys and scientifically map the similarities among them. This mapping can enable us to pinpoint moments of transition and triggers that can weaken not only our quality of life but also damage our reproductive health.

Kellie Stryker, MSW, LCSW, Director of Reproductive Emotional Health and Development 

Kellie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in fertility, infertility, pregnancy, grief and loss. After four years of infertility treatments which included multiple losses before conceiving her daughter, Kellie realized how isolating infertility can be. As the Emotional Health Advocate with Organic Conceptions, Kellie's passion is to provide emotional support and guidance to individuals and couples as they navigate through their fertility journeys.
