Life on pause, one cycle at a time
Two-week waits, test results, appointment calendars. Hope and dread on repeat.
HomeFertility coaching
You don’t have to carry this alone.
Emotional support for women on the path to motherhood, through trying to conceive, IVF, loss, adoption and every in-between. A place where your whole experience is welcome.
(01) If this sounds familiar
The weight no one else can see.
Fertility challenges touch every part of life: your body, your relationship, your work, your sense of who you are. Whatever you’re feeling, it makes sense.
Surrounded, and still alone
Pregnancy announcements, well-meant advice, the question “so, when are you having kids?”
Losses others don’t name
Miscarriage, failed transfers, the future you imagined. Grief that deserves room.
Where did I go?
When fertility takes over everything, it’s easy to lose touch with yourself and your joy.
(02) Wherever you are on the path
Support for every stage.
Choose where you are right now to see what support looks like at this stage. Paths are rarely linear; we meet you wherever you are today.
Stage 01
Trying to conceive
When months turn into years, every cycle can feel like a test you’re failing. It isn’t, and you deserve support long before “it’s been a year”.
What it can feel like
- Hope rising and falling every month
- Tension in your relationship and intimacy
- Comparing yourself to everyone around you
How we work together
- Tools to ride the monthly emotional wave
- Space to talk about what you can’t say elsewhere
- Reconnecting with the parts of life that are yours
A question to sit with
What would help you feel a little more like yourself this month?
Stage 02
IVF & fertility treatment
Injections, scans, retrievals, transfers. Treatment asks so much of your body, your schedule and your heart. You don’t have to go through it on autopilot.
What it can feel like
- Overwhelm from decisions and logistics
- The unbearable two-week wait
- Feeling out of control of your own life
How we work together
- Steadiness for the days out of your hands
- Clarity for decisions that are yours to make
- Ways to talk with your partner and care team
A question to sit with
Where, in all of this, do you still get to choose?
Stage 03
After a loss
Pregnancy loss and failed cycles bring a grief the world often rushes past. Here, it’s held, named and honoured, at your pace.
What it can feel like
- Grief that others don’t seem to see
- Guilt, anger, numbness, or all at once
- Fear of hoping again
How we work together
- A safe space to grieve without judgment
- Gentle rituals to honour what was lost
- Support finding your footing again, when you’re ready
A question to sit with
What does your grief need from you today?
Stage 04
Considering adoption
Adoption can be a calling, a new chapter, or a door you’re not sure you want to open yet. All of those are valid places to start.
What it can feel like
- Mixed emotions about letting go of a plan
- Uncertainty about the process and timelines
- Partners at different places in the decision
How we work together
- Clarity on what you truly want
- Resilience for a long and complex process
- Preparing emotionally for the family you’re building
A question to sit with
What does “family” mean to you, beneath every plan?
Stage 05
Deciding what’s next
Another round? A pause? A different path, or stepping away from treatment altogether? These are some of life’s hardest decisions. You don’t have to make them alone.
What it can feel like
- Exhaustion, financial and emotional
- Fear of “giving up” or of continuing
- Not knowing who you’ll be on the other side
How we work together
- Space to hear your own voice clearly
- Values-based decision-making tools
- Courage to move forward, whichever way you choose
A question to sit with
If you trusted yourself completely, what would you choose?
(03) What changes
Less surviving. More living.
Coaching won’t change what your body does. It can change how you move through it: with more steadiness, more self-compassion and more of you intact.
- A space that’s only yours, every session, to say what you can’t say anywhere else.
- Tools to regulate the anxiety of waiting, testing and results days.
- Clarity for big decisions, grounded in your values, not fear.
- Better conversations with your partner, family, employer and care team.
- Your identity back, as a woman whose life is bigger than this chapter.
(04) A gift, right now
Take one minute, just for you.
Before anything else, let’s breathe together. Four counts in, four to hold, six to let go. Follow the circle.
Small practices like this are part of how we work. You’ll leave every session with tools for the hard days.

(05) Where coaching fits
A complement to your care, not a replacement.
Your medical team cares for your body. A therapist treats mental health. Coaching is the steady ally between appointments, focused on how you live, decide and grow through this.
Medical team
Your body
Diagnosis, treatment protocols, medication and clinical decisions.
Therapy
Your mental health
Assessment and treatment of anxiety, depression, trauma and other conditions.
Fertility coaching
Your whole life
Emotional support, resilience, clarity and action: your relationship, work, identity and next steps.
If you’re in crisis or need mental-health care, please reach out to your doctor or a licensed professional. In Québec you can call 811 (Info-Social) any time, or 9-8-8 for the Suicide Crisis Helpline across Canada.

(07) Before our first call
Questions you might bring.
There’s nothing to prepare. But if it helps, sit with one of these for a moment.
- What has this journey taken from me, and what has it given?
- Where do I need more support than I’m getting?
- What would “feeling okay” look like, even before an outcome?
- What do I want to protect in myself, whatever happens?
(08) Good to know
Fertility coaching, explained.
Every question is a good question. Bring any others to our free first session.
01Do I need to be in treatment to work with you?
Not at all. I support women at every stage: just starting to try, in treatment, after a loss, exploring adoption, or deciding to step away. There’s no “right time” to get support.
02Is fertility coaching the same as therapy?
No. Coaching focuses on emotional support, resilience, clarity and action. It doesn’t diagnose or treat mental-health conditions, and it doesn’t replace medical advice. Many women find coaching works beautifully alongside therapy and their medical care.
03Can my partner join a session?
The coaching is centred on you, but fertility is often a shared journey. We can talk on our first call about whether including your partner at some point would help.
04What if I’m grieving right now?
You’re welcome exactly as you are. We move at your pace, and there’s never pressure to “feel better” or move on. If you need clinical support, I’ll gently help you find it.
05Is everything confidential?
Yes. What you share in our sessions stays between us.
06How much does it cost?
Your first 30-minute session is free. After that, it depends on the rhythm and length of support we choose together. I’ll explain every option clearly on our call.
