Fertility coaching for natural conception & ivf success
Fertility coaching can improve pregnancy rates and quality of life while trying to conceive (van Dijk et al, 2017) (Li et al, 2016). I work with women, couples and sole parents. The component parts include…
Emotional & psychological support
listening
reducing anxiety
exploring feelings, emotions and goals
identifying and removing emotional blocks
guiding through your journey
Nutritional therapy
improving hormone balance and metabolism
improving oocyte quality
improving sperm quality
support with natural fertility and IVF cycles
preparing the body for pregnancy
Mentoring - practical guidance
assessing the stage you are at
discussing natural fertility monitoring & enhancement
suggesting investigations if needed
recommending specialists and clinics that are appropriate to you
support through each stage of IVF
I’m a professional coach (University of Cambridge), and a member of the Association for Coaching. I have long experience as a specialist fertility nutritionist and acupuncturist, working alongside many IVF clinics both here and abroad, and have a background in nursing with obstetric experience.
