Is This You?

My area of speciality is helping men and women achieve their goal of parenthood.  

In our busy world, one in six Australian couples struggle to fall pregnant.  Increasing work and family pressures, the foods we eat and the lives we live create tension and disorder in our bodies which damages our natural fertility.

Add to that the endless cycle of fertility drugs, invasive medical procedures and the constant cycle of bad news and "maybe next time" and the joyous experience of having a child tends to become a time-managed, totally unspontaneous experience.

I'll help you and your partner re-establish your natural fertility to help you fall pregnant, enjoy a healthy pregnancy and become the parent you've always dreamt you would be.

Here are a series of scienarios men and women who come to my practice commonly tell me. Do any of them relate to you?

My partner and I have been trying to conceive a baby for well over 12 months.  We've had lots of blood tests, laparoscopic surgery, HSG tests and everything comes back 'normal' - yet I'm still not pregnant?

My gynaecologist started me off taking a fertility drug and it sent me crazy.  I was having hot flushes, I was irritable and I was bursting into tears all the time - I became a she-devil.  I could hardly recognize myself.

After years of painful periods, I was sent to have laparascopic surgery.  The doctors found I had endometriosis and told me I had a very small window of opportunity to conceive.  That window of opportunity has passed and now my period pain has returned.

My cycle has never been regular.  I've often wondered if this might make it difficult for me to fall pregnant?

I always feel like my doctor hasn't got time to listen to my concerns.  I just walk in, he tells me my most recent test results, I tell him I'm not pregnant, he gives me another prescription and I'm on my way for another 'cycle' of disappointment.

My partner and I have had three miscarriages and the doctors just tell me I was 'unlucky'.  I feel more than 'unlucky' - each miscarriage rips another hole in my heart.

My fertility is fine, but my husband has a low sperm count, high abnormalities and his sperm are slow swimmers. The doctors told us not to worry about it as they can pick the best ones and do an IUI, but we'd really like have our baby unassisted.

We have had several cycles of IVF and so far been unsuccessful.  I just feel like my body is getting weaker and weaker with each IVF cycle and I want to build myself up before I undertake another cycle.

My last labour was 36 hours long.  It stopped and started and by the end of it I was exhausted.  

My obstetrician has booked me in for an induction, but I'd really much prefer to go into labour without using drugs.

In my experience, clients who work with me are more likely to become parents and enjoy a healthy pregnancy if they...

Are prepared to make changes to their diet and lifestyle to help off-load the stress these triggers create in their body

Will commit to regular treatment, including herbal medicine and nutritional supplements (where appropriate)

Are looking for a qualified clinician who will approach their fertility, gynaecological or pregnancy issue with fresh eyes

Recognize that fine-tuning your body's natural fertility does not happen overnight, but does produce great results
