Helping You Build the Family You've Been Dreaming Of

At Positive Steps Fertility, our nurse practitioners are dedicated partners in every patient’s path to parenthood. With advanced clinical training and a compassionate approach, they provide expert guidance, explain treatment options, coordinate care, and serve as a consistent source of support throughout the fertility treatment process. By taking the time to listen, educate, and answer questions, they help our patients make informed decisions with confidence.

Caring for individuals and couples across Mississippi and Louisiana, our nurse practitioners are experienced in fertility evaluations, ovulation induction, IUI, IVF, fertility preservation, and other advanced reproductive treatments. Working alongside our fertility specialist, Dr. Preston Parry, and the clinical care team, they are committed to delivering personalized fertility care that reflects each patient’s unique goals and circumstances. Their expertise, empathy, and dedication help create a welcoming environment where patients feel supported from their first visit through every milestone.

Brittany Roberts, Nurse Practitioner in Madison, Mississippi

I’ve always known that I wanted to work in healthcare and, most importantly, have the opportunity to take care of others. My nursing career started as a med-surg nurse in Texas, but I eventually made my way back home and joined Dr. Parry’s team as a fertility nurse. I loved the job from the very beginning and quickly realized how special it was to be part of such an important and personal journey for patients.

I loved fertility care so much that I decided to go back to school to become a nurse practitioner. I attended the University of Mississippi Medical Center while continuing to work with Dr. Parry and graduated in 2020. I feel so fortunate that I get to continue doing what I love by caring for patients during such an exciting, emotional, and meaningful time in their lives.

One of the things I believe most strongly is that patients are family. I want every patient to feel comfortable asking questions and confident in their care. My number one goal is to give patients as much information as possible explained in a way that is easy to understand so they feel informed throughout their journey.

I’m married to the love of my life, Will, and we live in Brandon. Adalyn, Claire and John Ryan are our world. We love spending time together, especially out on the boat. I also love to read whenever I can find a little extra time!

I feel incredibly lucky to be part of your care, and I look forward to getting to know you and being there with you during what I hope will be one of the most rewarding journeys of your life.

Amber Hutchison, Nurse Practitioner in Gulfport, Mississippi and Slidell, Louisiana

My journey began as a registered nurse in 2016 where I gained experience across various healthcare settings, but it was working in postpartum care that I found my passion for women’s health. Witnessing the pure joy of successful pregnancies and deliveries prompted a desire in me to be on the frontline of helping others achieve their dreams of starting a family.

After five fulfilling years as an RN, I made the decision to further my education and specialize in women’s health. Now, as a nurse practitioner, I’m honored to be part of the journey with individuals and couples as they navigate the highs and lows of fertility treatments. Each person’s story is unique, and I’m dedicated to providing personalized care, empathy, and unwavering support every step of the way. This isn’t just a job for me—it’s a calling, a chance to make a real difference in people’s lives. I can’t wait to bring my enthusiasm, expertise, and compassion to the table as we work together to make some babies and create beautiful families. Let’s embark on this incredible journey together!

Amanda Owens, Nurse Practitioner in Shreveport, Louisiana

Hey! I’m Amanda Owens — I’m a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner who has a heart for fertility, and I’m here to make sure you don’t feel like you’re navigating the wild world of fertility alone. I’m also a St. Jude mom, which means I’ve got experience in juggling the really heavy stuff while still trying to keep the laughter going (because seriously, if we can’t laugh, we might just cry). I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Northwestern State University. The fertility journey is a wild ride, but my goal is to make it a bit more manageable — and hopefully even a little fun. After all, if we can find the humor in it, that’s half the battle, right?

My biggest focus has always been loving people in their most vulnerable stages of life. With a mix of science-backed strategies and good old-fashioned empathy, I’m here to make sure you feel informed, supported, and understood every step of the way. No question is too small, no concern is too silly — I’ve heard it all, and I’m here for it. When I’m not helping future families navigate their fertility journeys, you’ll find me cheering on my tiny humans at the ballpark, stopping them from crashing their dirt bikes, supporting other St. Jude families, or curled up on my porch with a good book.

Fertility care is personal, and I’m here to make sure you feel like you have a partner in the process, with a side of laughs to keep things light along the way.

The stories behind the little miracles

“Our little miracle baby! We cannot begin to express in words how thankful we are for Dr. Parry and his staff! After struggling for nearly 15 years, Dr. Parry was able to help assist us with IUI to conceive our little miracle baby. We highly recommend Dr. Parry to anyone losing hope for starting a family. THANK YA’LL from the bottom of our hearts for everything! We love y’all!"

“Instantly loved him and his staff! After over 3 years of infertility and treatments, we sought Dr. Parry for a second opinion. We instantly loved him and his staff, who made us feel at home. We were given hope after preparing ourselves to give up, and after only 2 IUIs with him (ended up being our 10th total), we are finally expecting for the first time ever. They’ve been nothing but gracious and accommodating. We are forever grateful!”

“So incredibly nice and encouraging! Dr. Parry and his staff were so incredibly nice and encouraging during our testing/conceiving era for our baby girl. I have comfort in my heart knowing that we have such an amazing team located in MS, which brings joy and hope to so many families. You guys helped us conceive our rainbow baby. You will never know the gratitude her father and I have for your clinic.”

“He made our dreams come true! Dr. Parry and his team are absolutely the best! One year ago today, I went in for my third IUI, and I now have a 3-month-old beautiful baby girl. Dr. Parry is so smart and very passionate about what he does. He has the sweetest nurses who make you feel special every visit. We tried for 9 years to get pregnant on our own with no luck, and I was pregnant within 5 months of meeting Dr. Parry. He made our dreams come true!”
