Information about my services
Why do I offer my services?
Research from Harvard University has shown that fertility can be increased by 69% with just five simple dietary changes. Given this along with a body of evidence favouring nutritional intervention, I am passionate about helping individuals and couples prioritise diet and lifestyle to improve their chances of conceiving, ensuring a healthy pregnancy, and supporting the well-being of both mother and baby.
As an accredited practising dietitian with a focus on reproductive health, I work closely with individuals and couples to optimise nutrition, enhance fertility, and address a range of reproductive health concerns. My approach is grounded in medical nutrition therapy and evidence-based practices, aimed at optimising egg and sperm health, improving ovulation, fertilisation, and implantation, and addressing conditions such as PCOS, endometriosis, thyroid disorders, hypothalamic amenorrhea and coeliac disease. Additionally, I provide support for the nutritional complexities that come with pregnancy, postpartum, and breastfeeding.
Who can I help?
Here are some examples of patients who may benefit from my services:
Pre-conception Planning: For patients planning to conceive in the next 6-12 months, I offer tailored nutritional advice to prepare their bodies for conception and pregnancy, with a focus on optimising nutrient stores for the first 1000 days of their baby's life.
Weight Management: A healthy BMI is crucial for fertility. I assist patients in achieving and maintaining a BMI within the healthy range to improve their chances of conception.
Dietary Restrictions: For patients with food intolerances or restrictive diets, I provide personalised plans to address potential micronutrient deficiencies that may impact fertility.
Egg Freezing: The quality of eggs at the time of freezing significantly affects fertility outcomes. I work with patients three months prior to egg collection to optimise egg quality through dietary and lifestyle changes.
Recurrent Implantation Failure: Factors such as advanced maternal age, BMI, and stress can contribute to recurrent implantation failure. I offer tailored nutrition strategies to help improve the chances of successful implantation.
Recurrent Miscarriages: I address under-diagnosed dietary conditions, micronutrient deficiencies, and high pathogen intakes that may increase miscarriage risks.
Pregnancy, Postpartum, and Breastfeeding Support: I provide guidance and support to navigate these stages with confidence, ensuring both maternal and infant health.
My services
I offer one-on-one consultations where I collaborate closely with individuals to provide tailored, evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle guidance. My goal is to simplify the process, easing the stress and overwhelm that often comes with navigating fertility challenges.
I work with both women and men, offering clear and practical advice designed to enhance fertility and increase the chances of IVF success. By leveraging the latest scientific research and taking a holistic approach, I am committed to optimising every aspect of fertility while offering continuous support and guidance throughout your journey.
