Fertility & Preconception Support
Fertility support looks different for everyone. Some women come to prepare their bodies before they start trying. Others come after months of unanswered questions, repeated losses, or test results that say normal when nothing about it feels that way. Wherever you are in that journey, you'll find thorough, personalised care that actually looks for answers.

When You’re Trying to Conceive, Every Month Matters
Fertility challenges can be emotionally complex, isolating and overwhelming, especially when you’re doing “everything right” and still not getting answers. Many women come to me feeling lost, dismissed, or unsure what to do next.

Common fertility concerns I support include:
-
Unexplained infertility
-
Recurrent pregnancy loss (early or repeated miscarriages)
-
Difficulties conceiving after 6–12 months
-
Irregular cycles or unreliable ovulation
-
Short luteal phases
-
PCOS-related ovulation issues
-
Endometriosis or adenomyosis affecting cycles
-
Heavy or painful periods impacting fertility
-
Bloating, constipation or gut symptoms
-
Thyroid issues or borderline thyroid results
-
Fatigue, stress and mood changes
-
Post-pill cycle irregularities
-
Preconception preparation (3–6 months before TTC)
You don’t need a diagnosis to seek support, just a sense that something isn’t quite right.
Understanding Fertility Challenges
There are many reasons conception can take longer than expected or pregnancies don’t continue, and they’re not always detected by standard tests.
Underlying factors can include:
-
Nutrient deficiencies (iron, B12, vitamin D, iodine, folate, zinc)
-
Progesterone insufficiency or short luteal phases
-
Thyroid dysfunction (including “normal but not optimal” TSH/T4/T3 patterns)
-
Ovulatory disorders (PCOS, anovulation, irregular ovulation)
-
Chronic inflammation
-
Endometriosis and adenomyosis
-
Blood sugar and insulin dysregulation
-
Gut or reproductive system microbiome imbalances
-
Immune factors
-
Environmental or lifestyle triggers
-
Post-loss hormonal dysregulation
Each person’s situation is unique, which is why a personalised approach is essential.
My Approach to Fertility & Preconception Care
Personalised & Trauma-Informed Care
Every fertility journey is different. Your plan is tailored to your symptoms, history, cycle patterns and emotional needs.
Evidence-based Preconception Foundations
Optimising nutrition, stress physiology, sleep, and cycle health helps improve both fertility outcomes and long-term pregnancy health. For BOTH partners.
Works Alongside your Medical Care
Many of my clients are undergoing IVF, IUI or specialist-led care. Naturopathy works alongside medical treatment to enhance support, not replace it.
Supporting Healthy Ovulation & Hormonal Balance
Ovulation quality is central to conception.
We work on repairing and supporting the entire ovulatory pathway.
Realistic & Achievable Recommendations
No extreme diets or unsustainable routines.
We focus on achievable changes that support both fertility and wellbeing.
Functional Testing when Helpful
This may include hormone metabolites, nutrient analysis, thyroid function, vaginal microbiome sequencing, gut microbiome testing, and metabolic markers.
Functional Testing
Standard fertility investigations are an important starting point, but they don't always tell the full story. Where the picture remains unclear, functional testing can provide a level of detail that changes everything. Depending on your history and presentation, testing may include:

✔️ Hormone Metabolite Testing (DUTCH or ENDOMAP Test) A standard blood hormone panel tells you what hormones are present at a single point in time. This test goes considerably further, mapping how your body is producing, processing, and clearing hormones across a full cycle. This includes oestrogen metabolism pathways, progesterone output, cortisol patterns, and androgen activity that a serum test simply won't reveal. For women with unexplained cycle irregularities, recurrent loss, or luteal phase concerns, this level of detail is often where the missing pieces are found.
✔️ Complete Thyroid Panel
Thyroid function is routinely assessed in fertility investigations but generally only TSH is measured. A complete panel includes TSH, free T3, free T4, rT3 and thyroid antibodies. Subclinical thyroid dysfunction and autoimmune thyroid activity are both associated with implantation failure and recurrent pregnancy loss, and both are frequently missed by standard screening.
✔️ Vaginal Microbiome Sequencing
A healthy vaginal microbiome is predominantly Lactobacillus-dominant, and this balance matters more to fertility than most women (and many practitioners) realise. Disruption to this environment can affect sperm viability, increase infection risk, and alter the conditions necessary for conception and early implantation. Vaginal microbiome sequencing identifies the specific microbial environment present, allowing for targeted support rather than generalised treatment. This is rarely assessed in standard fertility care, but it is an area where the evidence is growing steadily.
✔️ Gut Microbiome Testing
The gut microbiome has a far-reaching influence on fertility, shaping immune regulation, inflammation, hormone metabolism, and nutrient absorption, all of which feed directly into reproductive health. Gut microbiome testing provides a detailed picture of microbial diversity and balance, and can identify dysbiosis, bacterial overgrowth, or other patterns that may be quietly disrupting the hormonal and immune environment needed for conception and pregnancy.
✔️ Nutrient Analysis
Nutrient testing in a fertility context is not simply about ruling out deficiency. It is about establishing whether your levels are optimal for the demands of conception and early pregnancy. Key nutrients I assess include active B12, ferritin, vitamin D, zinc, folate, and iodine, with reference to ranges that support reproductive function rather than simply the lower threshold of normal. We can also screen for MTHFR and other genetic SNPs that impact the way you metabolise nutrients. Egg quality, progesterone production, implantation, and early embryo development are all directly influenced by nutritional status in the months before conception.
Testing is never mandatory, but when the picture is complex, it can be the difference between guessing and knowing.
What to Expect from your First Consultation
From the moment you book, you’ll be supported with care, clarity and practical next steps — so you always know where you're heading.

We explore your symptoms, health & obstetric history, hormone patterns, gut function, stress load, diet and lifestyle.
We create a realistic, evidence based plan that feels do-able for you. If testing would be helpful, we'll discuss your options.
We identify probable contributing factors and discuss your goals and priorities.
We map out the next steps, then check in regularly to refine your plan, track improvements and make adjustments as needed.
