My Story
I'm Claudia, a Registered Nutritional Therapist specialising in fertility and preconception health.
My passion for my profession stems from personal experience.
I had spent many years trying to avoid pregnancy, so I was surprised when, at age 38, I found myself unable to get pregnant.
After a period of trying, I decided to go to the doctor for some advice and testing. Due to various factors beyond my control, the doctors advised that I needed IVF. As well as genetic factors, the medical professionals highlighted my age & high FSH / low AMH as the main problem. They also told me my chances of succeeding in taking home a baby were slim.
My hopes and dreams of 2.4 children, moving to the suburbs and living happily ever after seemed a distant reality.
Instead, I found myself becoming increasingly anxious that I would never be a mother, I felt like everyone around me was getting pregnant without trying, I felt jealous of pregnant mothers walking around & inside I was crying. I found myself retreating from family & friends with recent pregnancy announcements, feeling angry and questioning, "Why me?" I was afraid of having to undertake IVF, worried about the expense, and worried it wouldn't work.
My story, however, ends happily.
After employing targeted nutritional & lifestyle interventions my partner & I were lucky to succeed relatively quickly via IVF with twins.
I want the same for you...
Because of the struggles I have been through, I feel very passionately about helping others going through a similar experience.
I want to help support you using targeted foods and lifestyle choices to give you the best chance of conceiving and having a healthy pregnancy
