For most of my life, I didn’t want a child. This was influenced by a variety of factors, including childhood trauma and a general fear about the planet’s future. Yet, my perspective began to shift in my early 30s and then everything changed after meeting Antonio. My body and mind wholeheartedly told me that they wanted a baby!

Yet, my mind and body were also cluttered with remnants of the past, including the damning fertility prognosis frequently given to women over the age of 35 (which is highly oversimplified). I became anxious and as I did in the past, I had to dig deep into my yoga and meditation practices, while likewise gaining a sense of agency through research and holistic modalities.

After experiencing a miscarriage, I intuitively knew something was wrong, though in Oxfordshire, the NHS is unable to help you if you are over age 35 (more on this in another post, as this is a slightly simplified statement). Private healthcare in Britain is incredibly expensive, so I was fortunate in that I could turn to a private gynaecologist in Italy. She was able to very quickly alert me to what was a highly fixable issue and within two months, I conceived our beautiful daughter who is now almost 16 months old.

After my cancer diagnosis and treatment twenty years ago, I became deeply interested in both medicine and holistic health practices, and this led me to pursue my master’s degree in medical humanities, as well as my yoga teacher training, and subsequently, I remain passionate about the intersections between western medicine and other wellness modalities. I am truly grateful that my background allows me to understand the science and offer best practices to my clients.

With this being said, my new website launches next week where you will find my updated offerings in yoga, fertility coaching, EMDR and general wellness coaching. I am truly passionate about helping others on their journeys, and in particular, on their fertility journeys. For five years, I also had the privilege of partnering with a fertility clinic, where I helped clients achieve positive results, both in terms of pregnancy and improved mental health.

Navigating the sea of conflicting information online about fertility and conception can be overwhelming. I want to help clients untangle this information. There are incredible holistic methods to enhance fertility, as well as powerful medical approaches. It’s essential to have the right information and support.

After having my beautiful daughter, my work life shifted dramatically as I'm no longer able to work on health retreats abroad or teach as many yoga classes as I once did. This natural progression in my career truly led me to discover this passion for fertility coaching, especially after helping so many friends and private clients in the last two years with their fertility journeys.

So, you’ll start seeing more fertility-related content from me, and I’m excited to share my knowledge and experience to support you on your journey. 💖

🌊✨ Exciting News! ✨🌊

Some of you may remember that I was set to publish my children's book, The Sea and His Sons, with a small publisher 10-15 years ago. Unfortunately, the publisher collapsed, and the book was never released.

But… good news! After the story's success as an audio tale on Insight Timer, where it received an outpouring of love and multiple requests for a printed version, I've decided to revive it through self-publishing!

📖 About the Book: Join the sea's four sons on an enchanting journey as they explore the world's beauty and discover the true meaning of connection and love. Each page is brought to life with stunning oil-based illustrations that capture the essence of nature's magic.
