Remember that gut-wrenching feeling after learning your last fertility treatment didn’t work?

You’ve poured so much into it - the injections, the appointments, the hope.

And then, the familiar ache of disappointment, wondering, ‘What did I miss?’

I’ve heard so many women share this exact story.

They’ve done everything ‘right’ according to the clinic, yet still feel lost and without answers.

You might be told your labs are ‘normal,’ but your body is screaming a different story.

This is the moment everything clicked for one of my clients.

After three failed rounds of assisted reproduction, this client came to me feeling utterly defeated. Instead of pushing for another cycle immediately, we looked at the whole picture.

We looked into her hormone metabolism, gut health, and nutrient deficiencies, things standard protocols often overlook.

Within four months of an individualised plan, addressing things like sluggish detox pathways and chronic inflammation, she conceived naturally.

From feeling like a statistic to holding her positive pregnancy test.

The shift isn’t about trying harder in the same direction. It’s about looking differently.

This is possible for you too.

fertility issues and IVF struggles require a holistic and integrated approach. This includes medical and functional tests plus traditional therapies to bring the body back to balance to create an optimum fertility environment and healthy pregnancy 🫄

Your body isn’t broken.

It’s talking to you, you just might not speak the same language yet.

Every ache, flare, restless night, or wave of anxiety is a signal.

It’s your body saying, “Hey, something’s not quite right… can you slow down and listen?”

When you start paying attention instead of pushing through, things change.

You reconnect.

You understand what your body’s asking for.

And that’s when real healing starts, not from fighting symptoms, but from finally hearing them.

If you’re ready to learn how to listen, connect, and bring your body back into balance, you know where to find me.

It is estimated that 50 to 90 percent of women with normal pregnancies have some degree of nausea, with or without vomiting. The duration and severity of symptoms varies and can be classified as either morning sickness or hyperemesis gravidarum (HG).

Morning sickness — is mild nausea and vomiting that may occur at any time of the day or night due to pregnancy. It often develops around six weeks of gestation and may start to improve by 16-18 weeks. However, symptoms continue into the third trimester in 15 to 20 percent of women and until delivery in 5 percent of women.

Hyperemesis gravidarum — is more severe nausea and vomiting of pregnancy. Women with hyperemesis often vomit multiple times every day, are often unable to consume food and liquids, and may lose more than 5 percent of their prepregnancy body weight. Women with hyperemesis gravidarum often become dehydrated and may develop vitamin and other nutrient deficiencies over time if they are not treated. This condition typically requires evaluation in the hospital, IV hydration and treatment with medication(s).

Nausea and vomiting in pregnancy (NVP) can be mild to completely debilitating that some women are unable to work or function to take care of their other children. I always advocate, do what you can, to get through. However, understanding the risk factors and causes of NVP may help you seek earlier interventions to minimise symptoms and get you through. Knowing these ensures you can discuss testing and treatment options with your health care provider so you and your baby are well as can be.

In my Nausea and Vomiting in Pregnancy ebook guide, I will guide you through tips and what you SHOULD be focusing on during your pregnancy 💗💗

It is estimated that 1 in 5 women have this condition, many unaware. Adenomyosis is where endometrial glands normally found on the lining of the uterus (your womb) have migrated inside the muscle wall of the uterus. This distorts the normal shape and architecture of the uterus.

On ultrasound or MRI this is often described as bulky or enlarged uterus. However it can be difficult to diagnose and should be assessed by a gynaecologist who specialises in ultrasound.

Adenomyosis like endometriosis has a huge impact on the quality of an individual’s life causing symptoms such as:
🌸 menstrual cramps
🌸painful periods
🌸heavy periods
🌸miscarriages
🌸infertility
🌸 Pre-term birth
🌸Abdominal bloating, Nausea IBS type symptoms
🌸 Pelvic Pain
🌸Back Pain
🌸Miscarriages
🌸Fatigue, mood swings
🌸Anemia
🌸Pain during in*******se

Have you been diagnosed with adenomyosis or wanting help with managing symptoms and enhancing your fertility?
