My Dream
My Personal Journey
My personal struggle with infertility inspired me to specialize in fertility and women's health. When I was informed that we would require an assisted method of conception (ICSI), I knew little about the impact nutrition and lifestyle changes could have on our chances of a positive outcome. Looking back, I wish I had been aware of these possibilities, as the treatment journey was stressful and unsuccessful. However, I am grateful to say that we have since been blessed with the adoption of two beautiful little girls.
Having experienced the emotional rollercoaster of IVF (ICSI) firsthand, I am driven to support other women in preparing their bodies optimally for successful treatment or natural conception.
I qualified with a degree in Nutritional Therapy at the renowned College of Naturopathic Medicine (CNM) in Manchester and now specialise in working with women and couples going through the somewhat arduous journey to parenthood. Having had quite a stressful experience of going through IVF myself, I know first-hand what a difficult time this can be. Therefore, I am deeply passionate about supporting others through this experience.
I am originally from Finland, but these days I call the beautiful Peak District my home, where I live with my partner, two daughters, my Irish Wolfhound and my three cats!
