24.01.2022 Im excited to be presenting at this virtual fertility retreat on Saturday. There will be lots to learn and some great take home information. See you there!

24.01.2022 What to do during the two-week wait OK, so youve done all the hard work tracking your ovulation, had sex at the right times, or perhaps youve just undergone an IVF cycle, and now you are waiting and waiting to see if implantation has occurred. Implantation is the process whereby the fertilised egg (known as a blastocyst at this point) adheres to the wall of the uterus. This usually occurs 7-10 days after ovulation (or embryo transfer), hence the two-week wait. That two-w...Continue reading

22.01.2022 A message to all fertility patients: Over the past 14yrs I have held hands and supported thousands of women and couples on their journey to parenthood. For many its been a long one, for others just a brief moment of distress. During the process we try not to have the conversation about what happens if the end result isnt a child. We stay positive and optimistic. Sometimes for a very long time. However, for some, the end result isnt what they planned. Not everyone is succes...sful in their pursuit. Its truly heartbreaking and often theres not a lot of support. But its a huge reality for some. I know this because my husband and I werent successful in our dream of parenthood either. My reason for this post is to encourage those, that have come to the end of the fertility road, to look inside and find the place within themselves where strength lies and find some new dreams for your future. This life is blessed with opportunities and now you can explore them. It takes time, but eventually you will find a different and exciting new way of being. Trust me. Im genuinely here if you need me.

09.01.2022 Beautiful story of surrogacy

09.01.2022 So much inflammation comes down when sugar is removed from the diet. Not to mention what happens to your hormonal regulation. Insulin is closely linked to all... the other hormones in the body, especially testosterone and estrogen. Don't forget when talking about sugar I also mean refined carbohydrates. See more

05.01.2022 Im receiving a lot of messages regarding insomnia. Sleep patterns can really be affected when our general lifestyle has changed. try to go to bed and get up at the same time each day avoid too much caffeine and alcohol get out in the fresh air each day and get some exercise ... avoid napping during the day limit bed activities such as phone, tv, computer and dont do stimulating tasks such as your finances write down things that are on your mind before going to bed keep a bottle of lavender oil and Rescue Remedy by your bed( if you cant sleep or wake in the night, tip a few drops of lavender on your wrist and do 4 sprays of Rescue Remedy under the tongue. Youll thank me for this tip!) take magnesium powder just before bed The good news is, this downtime is actually bringing down the stress hormone, cortisol, in many people as they have slowed down immensely. Sleep tight tonight

03.01.2022 On cold nights I love a hot bowl of Borscht (cabbage/beetroot soup)... It's full of goodness and even bigger in flavor. Easy to make, easy to digest. Make plenty! This recipe serves 2 -... 3 medium beetroots (grated) 1 large carrot (grated) cabbage (finely sliced) 1 fennel bulb (finely sliced) 1 brown onion (finely chopped) 1 lt chicken or vegetable stock 4 garlic cloves (crushed) 2 large potatoes (small cubes) 3 cloves 3 bay leaves 1 tbsp chopped dill 2 tbsp olive oil 4 tbsp plain yoghurt or sour cream Heat oil in large saucepan and add onion, fennel and garlic. Cook until soft. Then grated beetroot and carrot. Cook for about 3 min, stirring often. Add chicken stock (or veg) and top with water until all ingredients are well covered. Simmer for 10 min then add cabbage, potatoes, cloves and bay leaves. Cover and simmer for 20 more minutes. Serve with a dollop of yoghurt or sour cream and dill.

01.01.2022 This has been a longtime favourite on the Fertility Lifestyle Program. Even before avo on toast started haunting us in every cafe. Well this combo is definitely worth a try at anytime of the day. Avocado, feta, balsamic reduction and red chilli. The perfect combination of salty, sweet and spicy. Let me know how you go.
