My passion and interest in this area of health and well being stems from my own fertility journey. My experience has shown me both the power and subtlety of acupuncture, herbal medicine, mindfulness and good nutrition, as well as the times when Western Medicine can and needs to play a vital role.

I’ve been challenged with multiple fibroids, a shortened cervix, 3 c-sections, ovarian torsion, an ectopic pregnancy, placenta previa, placenta accreta and spent three months in hospital with my third child, who eventually joined us 8 weeks early. It took me two years to conceive my first child and we were at the point of considering adoption when I finally became pregnant. I’ve gone on to naturally conceive and carry three healthy, gorgeous kids, much to the amazement of many medical professionals.

All this is to say I know how hard the fertility journey can be and I also know first hand how supportive and effective on a physical, mental and emotional level the work that I do can be on that path.

Western Medicine has played a vital role for me – it has ensured the safe delivery of my three children and has saved my life a number of times during my pregnancies. However it is acupuncture and herbal medicine, coupled with sound nutrition and a mindful approach that I believe has fine-tuned my body, enabled it to recover after all those operations, reduced my stress levels and help me return my body, mind and spirit to their best selves. With these tools I managed to bring my fertility back up to par and gave my body the very best chance of conceiving in what was very far from the most ideal environment. And it is acupuncture and mindfulness that continues to keep me centered, strong and open to all that life throws at me.

I have learnt SO much through my own fertility experiences and am on a mission to share this knowledge and support with as many women and their partners as I can.
