PCOS, endometriosis, unexplained infertility, recurrent miscarriage, and sperm autoimmunity are some of the conditions I specialise in providing a way forward for. Whether you’re struggling to conceive or just want to be proactive, you’ll find a wealth of information and clear guidance and support.
Fertility is a complex topic and making a baby involves an element of magic, but there are many things we know about how you support yourself emotionally and physically to increase your chances of conception. Most plans give generic information targeting your goals or conditions but completely miss addressing the underlying imbalances and that's where my programmes are different. You'll get bespoke recommnedations and a way of assessing your physical and emotional health and what you can do to improve things.
Research shows us much more about how to positively influence fertility, pregnancy outcomes, our ability to breastfeed, and the health of children in the short and long term than we are led to believe.
The people I work with are not doing anything wrong and are usually eating well. I am here to help them prepare mentally and physically to give them the best chance of having a healthy baby and a positive experience.
With over a decade of experience working with individuals and lecturing undergraduate and postgraduate students on female health and fertility all over the UK; I now want to share my knowledge with as many people as possible by working online, helping them achieve one of the most rewarding goals possible.
I'm very grateful and proud to be a mum of two and live in Bristol. I love the outdoors, wine, coffee, food, laughter and being at the beach. I'm passionate about life and encouraging those around me to make the most of things, and understand that an easy ride of it does not equate to happiness. So no space for self-pity, let's be grateful and enjoy life.
“Zoe made me think differently about my entire approach to food and nutrition straight away. Her positive, informed and constructive approach without doubt contributed to overcoming my PCOS and becoming pregnant with my daughter. Zoe also generously continued to offer support and guidance long after my initial appointment”
"My ASA levels (sperm antibody) had a significant drop which the Fertility clinic were not able to explain as they told me there was no way to reduce ASA levels. However, best of all we conceived naturally and my wife gave birth to a healthy boy in Jan 2018"
Look at it as a bit of MOT - a full evaluation of your mind and body taking into account your environment; genetics; presenting symptoms; emotional and physical health; goals and desires; values and beliefs. I would look at getting to the root cause of issues and together work out the best plan of action to get you where you want to be.
In your first session, we would spend up to 1.5 hours going through your health history and presenting symptoms to help me establish what is going on and our next steps to confirm or negate those findings. We then have various testing options available to us which we would choose based on your unique needs.
Before we even have a session I would start reviewing the data you give me. Ahead of our first session you would complete my health check questionnaire and share any test results you wish to; for example, blood results you have had in the last 2 years (you can ask your doctors' surgery for copies). These can be very helpful for me to evaluate how I can help.
In your first session, we would go through your questionnaire answers allowing me to take more detail from you, we would then move on to some explanations, and then our first steps forward. I offer an initial three-month package which includes your first session and two follow-ups with in-between session email support. Testing and supplement recommendations may be part of your plan which we would discuss together and would be priced separately.
