1-2-1 Support
OK so you're lacking in energy, you're are not sleeping, hormones feel imbalanced and your menstrual cycle is affecting your day to day life. Perhaps you and your partner have been struggling to conceive for sometime and have been diagnosed with unexplained infertility? If any of this resonates with you and you are feeling bamboozled with all the conflicting information out there telling you what you should and shouldn't be doing, don't worry I am here to help.
As a specialist Nutritional and Herbal therapist in reproductive health I work with people like yourself to get to the root cause of your symptoms, investigate your hurdles to fertility and help you to identify the areas of your nutrition and lifestyle that are getting in the way of your ability to thrive.
I will give you simple and sustainable strategies that you can easily implement into your daily routine and that will really work.
I provide 1-2-1 and couples consultations in my East London based clinic and online virtual appointments UK wide. See details bellow for how I can support you and the areas of health I work with.



Reproductive Health for women
Often women don't feel heard when it comes to their health and can live for many years with debilitating symptoms commonly considered to be "normal" before getting the support they need.
Severe menstrual pain, prolonged heaving bleeding, chronic fatigue, PMS and acne can have a major impact on your quality of life and should not have to be endured!
I work with women of all ages to overcome common and complex conditions specifically associated with reproductive health. I will provide you with an in-depth insight into the biochemical processes that may be contributing to the underlying cause and provide you with strategies that will help you to feel balanced, energised and in control of your health.

I work with women experiencing:
-
Heavy and/or painful periods.
-
Amenorrhea (absence of periods).
-
Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs).
-
Recurrent Thrush and BV (Candida, Bacterial Vaginosis).

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS).

Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS).

Preconception care for couples
If you have been struggling to conceive, have been diagnosed with 'unexplained infertility' or are simply looking to optimise your health in the lead up to conception you have come to the right place! I work with couples like you to improve your chances of conception.
4 months is a critical timeframe to enhance sperm and egg quality, rebalance hormones and address underlying health concerns that may be getting in your way of a successful and healthy pregnancy. My Preconception plan for couples includes all the support you and your partner need over a 16 week period.
If you don't have complex fertility challenges but would like a general health reset in the lead up to conception, then my Fertility MOT for couples is a good option.

I work with couples to:
-
Provide guidance for preconception care.

Improve egg and sperm quality.

Prepare for IVF/ICSI treatment.

Investigate and reduce risk of miscarriage.

Identify infections associated with infertility and rebalance seminal and vaginal microbiome health.

Optimise hormone levels and ovulation.

Correct nutritional deficiencies.
-
Reduce stress and support nervous system health.
-
Reduce the effects of environmental toxin exposure.
-
Support Thyroid health.
-
Provide support for conditions like endometriosis and PCOS.
pRENATAL NUTRITION SUPPORT
Knowing the right foods to eat to nourish yourself and your baby through pregnancy can be difficult. Working with a nutritional therapist at this time can be so helpful in demystifying some of the common questions around pregnancy nutrition and is an absolute game-changer if you are suffering with common pregnancy symptoms like morning sickness or need nutritional support for complex conditions like gestational diabetes.
I will support you through every major milestone so you can enjoy a healthy pregnancy free from unwanted symptoms and provide your baby with what it needs to thrive.
We will also work together on birth preparation, postpartum and breastfeeding nutrition.

I can provide support for:
-
Diet and lifestyle strategies for a healthy pregnancy.
-
Ensuring adequate nutrient intake for each stage of pregnancy.
-
Addressing key nutrient levels i.e Vitamin D, Iron, Folate and B12.
-
Nausea and morning sickness and.
-
Recurrent Candida (Thrush), UTIs and general vaginal microbiome health.
-
Heartburn/indigestion/reflux and constipation.
-
Blood sugar balance, diabetes and gestational diabetes nutrition.
-
Nutritional support for reducing the risk of preterm labour and complex pregnancy conditions like preeclampsia.
-
Muscle cramps and joint pain.
-
Fatigue and sleep disturbances such as Insomnia.
-
Preparation for birth and breastfeeding.

Postpartum nutrition
I work with new mums and not so new mums to support them post birth and in the years following. Whether you have just had a baby or are now a few years down the track and taking care of a toddler it can be hard to focus on your health.
There is little if any support out there for mothers and the physical impact of bearing and raising children and I find women will often run on empty for many years before they realise the toll its taking on their body - sound familiar?
Postnatal depletion is real! Sleep deprivation, hormonal changes, nutritional insufficiency coupled with the emotional and physical strain of being a parent can all contribute to this.
Get in touch to find out how I can support you to get back on track.

I work with mothers to provide:
-
Postpartum healing support.
-
Nutritional support for breastfeeding.
-
Nutritional guidance for addressing nutrient levels.
-
Nervous system support to reduce stress and anxiety.

Reduce fatigue and regain energy levels.
-
Regain hormonal balance.

Regulate menstrual cycles.
-
Improve libido.
-
Thyroid hormone balance.
-
Gut health support.
-
Dietary advice for healthy weight management.
-
Early childhood nutrition, including weaning and managing common baby symptoms like colic, reflux and allergies.
Frequently asked questions
-
How many consultations will I need?The amount of times we need to catch up will very much depend on you as an individual. Some people are just looking for a health overhaul and some guidance on how best to optimise their nutrition, others may have more complex cases that require ongoing long term support. I generally recommend that you plan for 3 consecutive consultations every 4 weeks (so your initial and two follow ups) in order to get into a routine with your initial recommendations. Following this we may be able to spread your follow ups out a little and catch up for a short appointment time.
-
Which consultation/package is right for me?I have a few different consultation options available so I always suggest booking in for a free discovery call before you book anything in. Here is a run down of some of my packages you might want to consider if you are looking for support with a specific area of health: Preconception to Fertility Package is for couples who are looking to be supported through the full preconception period and is perfect for providing comprehensive support for unexplained infertility, recurrent miscarriage, IVF prep, complex fertility issues. For all couples trying to conceive I recommend that both partners are included in the process for best results. This package includes all the support you and your partner will need throughout the optimal 16 week preconception period. If you conceive during this time you can use any remaining consultations to support you through early pregnancy. Fertility MOT is for couples looking for initial preconception support for future planned pregnancies and guidance on nutrition and lifestyle to optimise fertility. If you have complex reproductive health issues I advise opting for the Preconception to Fertility package. Prenatal and Postpartum Package is for pregnant women wanting support with nutritional guidance throughout pregnancy and postpartum. This package is perfect for women with high risk pregnancies, diabetes, common pregnancy symptoms like morning sickness, support for nutrient deficiencies and general health support throughout pregnancy. Most of the women I work with to help conceive will move onto this package once they have a confirmed pregnancy. This package includes 6 hours of consultations allocated to major pregnancy milestones and spans across a 12 month period.
-
Are clinical tests included in the price?All clinical tests are charged in addition to the consultation price. If you have recent test results from fertility clinics or your GP I am happy for you to share these with me and I will include them as part of your health assessment. There may be circumstances where we need to investigate further and potentially add to this with private functional tests in order to get the best outcome within the quickest possible timeframe. I will always discuss the cost and benefits with you in detail and will only recommend a test if I know that the outcome is going to influence my approach. For more details on specific tests available please check the clinical test section on the Work with me page.
-
Is testing always required and how do I do the tests?Depending on the type of test some can be done at home with home testing kits and others will need to be done in a clinic setting. I work with partner clinics across London and the UK and will provide you with all the information and guidance you need to complete any tests. Testing is not always required, it really depends on the complexity of your individual case and your desired outcomes. When it comes to fertility health there are particular tests that are helpful, but we will always discuss this as part of your discovery call.
-
Why is the preconception period 4 months?I recommend giving yourself 4 months to prep for pregnancy and to improve fertility health as it takes 100 days for an egg to mature and up to 90 days for sperm production. Anything that you do during this time to support your overall health through nutrition and lifestyle will greatly benefit the quality of these cells and have a positive impact on pregnancy outcomes. 4 months also allows enough time to perform any required tests and implement recommendations to address findings. We will also have to retest on occasion to ensure that issues have resolved. Sometimes you may need more that 4 months depending on the complexity of your case, however my 16 week preconception to fertility package will cover all the support you need during the most crucial time and there is some flexibility should we need to delay catch ups in line with test results.
-
Can nutrition and lifestyle have an impact on IVF outcomes?Nutrition and lifestyle have been shown to have a major impact on IVF/ART outcomes, particularly within the 4 month preconception period. Where IVF may help to overcome some fertility challenges, the procedure is not able to improve the quality of the eggs and sperm collected. This is where focussing on nutrition and lifestyle can be very beneficial and ideally you need a minimum of 3 months (or 4 menstrual cycles) as this is the timeframe required to optimise the chromosomal development within these maturing cells. Fertility nutrition also focuses on assessing reproductive microbiome health, hormonal balance and nutrient status with an aim of improving the chances of embryo implantation and a healthy full term pregnancy. My Preconception to Fertility package is ideal for couples planning an IVF cycle. This includes couples who have undergone multiple rounds of IVF already and also egg and sperm donor cycles. This package spans over 16 weeks as this is generally the minimum time we need for optimal outcomes. If you don't have 16 weeks but would like to work with with me in the lead up to IVF there may be limitations as to the benefits for improving egg/sperm quality, however there may still be some benefits to working on your health i.e addressing nutrient levels and reproductive microbiome health, the best thing to do is book a free discovery call and we can discuss this in more detail.
-
Do you provide nutritional support for men?Yes I do work with men to support with general wellbeing, fatigue, hormonal imbalance, gut microbiome and skin health. Whilst most of my male clients work with me as part of a couple for fertility support its worth baring in mind that the areas of health that lead to male factor infertility are often not directly associated with what you would consider to be common reproductive health issues. It's about understanding the underlying driving factors to systemic inflammation and this can result from a number of health concerns like cardiovascular health, stress and infections for example.
