What is a Fertility Coach?


What is a Fertility Coach?

Embarking on a fertility journey can be daunting, but with the right support, it becomes a path of empowerment and hope.

A Fertility Coach is a qualified professional who offers guidance, support, and education to individuals and couples facing fertility challenges. In my case, I specifically support those considering or undergoing IVF and/or surrogacy journeys.

Coaches are trained to hold space for clients to explore their feelings, thoughts, worries, and plans, including aspects of work, social, family, and friendship needs. A Fertility Coach is a vital member of the fertility team.

Over the years, I have guided many couples and individuals on their path to parenthood. I constantly seek personal and professional growth, and I am currently enhancing my skills by pursuing a year-long course to become a Certified Fertility Coach & Reproductive Health Support Specialist. I love helping people reach their potential and achieve their goals. During my corporate career as a Senior Manager, I coached and mentored many teams and individuals. I also have experience in coaching amateur sports. Fertility coaching, while different, benefits from the coach’s real-life experiences and it really helps if your coach’s battle scars are real! I spent countless hours researching, navigating, and seeking answers over many years. Though mistakes were made along the way, they provided valuable lessons.

Using my knowledge, diverse skills, and personal experience, I am dedicated to guiding people through their fertility journey with confidence. My goal is to provide consistent support during challenging times, ease both the emotional and practical aspects, and help make the path to parenthood smoother, less lonely, and more fulfilling.
