Is working with you right for me?

Working with me is right for you if:

• You want to do everything in your power to optimise your fertility regardless of where you are on the journey

• You want to optimise your chances of success with IVF or other fertility treatments

• You’re frustrated with your diagnosis of unexplained infertility

• You’ve had multiple rounds of fertility treatments and they’ve ended in BFN or miscarriage

• You want to get to the root cause of your fertility struggles rather than just manage your symptoms

• You want a personalised programme that's exactly right for you

• You want to optimise your chances of having a healthy baby in your arms AND being a well nourished and strong Mum as you enter parenthood

• You're willing to invest in your health

• You've tried everything else!

I insist on a FREE 30 minutes fertility call with all prospective clients to ensure we’re the right fit for one another.

How long will it take to get results?

It’s impossible for me to answer that as every couple is unique, the underlying root causes are varied, clients have different budgets and are able to make changes at different paces.

Remember it takes a year to make a baby (3 months to mature an egg and sperm and 9 months of growth in utero). I usually insist on working with couples for a minimum of 3 months so that you can do everything you can to improve the quality of your sperm and eggs - the ingredients for a healthy baby.

Can I continue trying to conceive whilst working with you?

I tend to advise clients to stop trying to conceive whilst working with me. That’s because there are many foods and supplements that are considered unsafe during pregnancy. Equally, if we have run a test that identifies a potential issue and then you found out you were pregnant but we were limited as to what we could do about the test result (due to pregnancy), then that could cause some stress to yourselves, which we don’t want.

I completely appreciate the urgency experienced by couples trying to conceive and that it can be difficult to take that break in trying. If it is really not possible for you to stop trying then I of course do my best to work around that, but it makes the process more difficult and potentially longer.

I already have had lots of tests. Do you offer programmes without testing?

The tests that I offer are very comprehensive and not offered via the GP or fertility clinics, so I would typically tend to advise some tests. This will be discussed in detail during your free fertility call and of course I will take into account the tests you have already had done.

Can you guarantee me a baby?

No. No-one is legally allowed to offer guaranteed health outcomes. This also applies to IVF and other fertility treatments. I will support you to make effective changes for your overall health, using my training, knowledge, ongoing professional education and the information I gather from you and your test results. Your health outcomes are in part dependent on your commitment to implementing my recommendations.

Will you recommend supplements?

Usually yes, I will recommend supplements. As a naturopathic practitioner I have a preference for recommending food changes as the best and most natural way to obtain nutrients however, supplements can provide a lot of benefit as they allow us to get specific nutrients at higher doses than might be achievable through food. As couples struggling to conceive tend to be feeling a level of time pressure therefore, supplements can be very useful in a holistic fertility plan.

Supplements are not included in the cost of the programme, but I am able to offer a 10% discount on supplements purchased through the practitioner suppliers I use. You are not obliged to buy through these suppliers of course.

How flexible is the support time in your programmes?

Beyond the initial consultation and any specific calls to discuss your test results, the support time is very flexible and can be broken up and taken over several months. I usually discuss this with clients during their initial consultation to see what would work best for them. Some clients prefer to meet for a longer period less frequently and others like to have fairly regular contact for support, motivation and accountability.

Can I see you face to face?

I only provide online consultations.

What if it doesn’t work?

As I said above, I cannot guarantee you a baby. You may still choose to invest in IVF or other fertility treatments after going through a programme with me. By undergoing a programme like this, and by implementing all of the recommendations I make, the chances of improving your overall health and wellbeing are high, putting you in the best place possible to undergo the rigours of IVF and improve the chances of a successful outcome.

What do your programmes cost?

My couples fertility programme costs £999. This includes an in depth initial consultation for up to 2 hours with both partners, followed by 5 follow up appointments usually spread over 3-4 months. I do also offer a package for working with one person though if a partner is involved, I do strongly recommend the couples programme. Payment plans are available.

How do I sign up?

This is a relationship that begins with a conversation, which is why all prospective clients must book a FREE 30 minutes fertility call with me. When working on healing, it is so important to have a good connection with your therapist. It also takes a level of commitment and accountability from yourselves and so this is a chance for us determine if and how I can help you.

Why can’t you do this for free?

I wish I could, but then I wouldn’t be able to to stay in business - and therefore, wouldn't be able to help anyone! Trust me, it upsets me greatly that the testing and services that I offer are not available via the NHS or usually even covered by private medical insurance. I hope that this will change in the future. In the meantime, I have spent a lot of money on my training and ongoing education to be able to provide the highest level of service to my clients.
