fertility & infertility

A healthy body is a fertile body, and also one that will have the BEST chance at passing on great health and DNA to your children. Yet more and more people are suffering with fertility issues and infertility – feeling confused, overwhelmed and lost with how to move forward. It is important to remember that they body is always trying to work with you to support your health and protect future generations – if something has gone awry then fertility will become sub-optimal. Yet the body is constantly changing and adapting to the world around us and within us, so making improvements to fertility is ALWAYS possible.

DID YOU KNOW: that 1 in 6 couples will experience fertility issues at some stage of their lives? And it really does take two to tango:

  • 40% of issues are from the woman
  • 40% of issues are from the man
  • 10% of issues are from both partners
  • 10% of issues are unexplained

This is why Kate is SO passionate about supporting you to conceive a healthy baby, but also to understand the underlying root cause that may be a barrier to conception.

Kate is experienced with all fertility issues including:

  • Female factors – endometriosis, PCOS, hormonal imbalance
  • Male factors – poor sperm quality, low libido/erectile dysfunction
  • Genetic factors – MTHFR, hemochromatosis, methylation issues

  • Lifestyle factors – stress and sleep are key
