I have a nursing background. I work full time with the NHS as a midwife.I worked in one of the biggest fertility clinics in UK for 2years and did a lot of courses on assisted reproduction. Up to MSC level.I guess it will suffice to say that I have gone through infertility as well.The emotional roller coaster of infertility and the uncertainty of treatment outcome make it so hard to deal with.I am happily married, and a mother.
WHAT I DO
I have added a layer to my professional life as an independent, unaffiliated fertility consultant. In private consultations, I empower my clients to make more informed and discrimating decisions about their treatment. I provide carefully researched information that is critical to their success, and that influences the way they choose their fertility clinics and interact with their doctors.
My primary message is that once you venture into the world of reproductive medicine, the single most important determination you will ever make is this: at which fertility clinic should we access treatment, and when? I'm a Radio talk show host on infertility and sexual health and Infertility speaker.
I have learnt over the years that education and determination has a big role to play when going through infertility.Although I would not wish infertility on anyone, I personally do not regret for one moment having had the experience. For although infertility felt like a curse at that time, it turned out ultimately to be a gift. one of life’s greatest blessings. In addition to deepening my understanding of what is important in life, infertility also enabled me to better fulfil my purpose as a person; for had I not struggled desperately in my quest to have a family, I would not have found an opportunity to play a small role in making the quest of other men and women just a little bit easier. While it is difficult to believe its possible while you are feeling the anguish of infertility, it is my hope that one day you too will consider infertility to have had (at least in some respects) an enriching impact on your life.
From the deepest place in my heart, I hope that you will find your path to deep and loving relationships with healthy children who bring you unimaginable joy.
THE FACTS OF LIFE
“The history of a man for the nine months preceding his birth would, probably, be far more interesting and contain events of far greater moment than all the three score and ten years that follow it”(Samuel Taylor Coleridge)
