Let Me Help You
"I understand that pregnancy can be difficult, especially if you have been through fertility treatment, miscarriage and infertility struggles before getting to this point. Many people who came to me for fertility support, move to pregnancy support once they have conceived and it’s one of the most rewarding parts of this work. We know that being pregnant after loss and/or a difficult road to conception isn’t the end of the journey and that it can be both stressful and cause a lot of anxiety. Patients find that continuity of support and care with me can help alleviate some of these issues, especially during the first 12 weeks.
