Hi there, I’m Jen.
I was raised by a single mum who taught me from a young age that if I worked hard enough, I could achieve anything I wanted.
I’m also a huge planner, every T crossed and every I dotted perfectly …. you could call me a bit of a control freak! (Well at least I was, 7 years ago!!)
My husband and I started trying for a baby on our honeymoon. I cleared my schedule for nine months time, when our baby was going to promptly arrive. It never occurred to me it wouldn’t happen according to my plan and the clear picture I had in my head.
So when the news of INFERTILITY arrived, it knocked me on my ass.
Everything I had based my whole life on went out the window. I could not ‘work harder’ to make a baby happen faster. And planning just created more havoc, because now I was at the mercy of every egg pickup, embryo fertilisation and transfer .… every appointment.
I know where you are right now, what you are going through. it's tough!
Now I live on the beautiful Gold Coast in Australia, with my two little miracles, Luca & Sophie, and my husband Craig.
I love being close to the ocean - it brings me peace, so you’ll usually find me down at the beach, going for a run, or dining at one of the amazing local restaurants. Oh yes, I LOVE food and wine, and after a recent trip to the Margaret River over in Perth, I can’t pass up a good Chardonnay.
Fertility consumed my life for 7 years. My journey included IVF, surrogacy, heart-breaking miscarriages and a surprise natural pregnancy thrown in for good measure.
I'd like to say I approached my fertility journey with grace and poise, but I'd be lying. And I'm a “what you see is what you get kinda girl'', so I'll tell you the truth. It was messy!
Complete transparency?
My journey was bloody lonely.
You know those moments when you’re surrounded by people yet you’re one woman on an island?
Where everyone is giving (unhelpful) advice, yet no one knows what you’re truly going through?
I needed a sounding board – someone who had been there and done this before me. Someone armed with experience who could provide reassurance, support and a shoulder to cry on.
It really was harder than I thought it would be.
Fellow fertility warrior, I see you.
Strong, determined, fierce. Or maybe tired, disheartened and on the verge of giving up.
I think you’re amazing. YOU are the reason I decided to follow my heart.
YOU are the reason I am now a fertility mentor and coach.
I don’t regret my struggles (anymore), they put me on the path I’m on today so I can help women like you deal with the emotional ups and downs of being on the fertility rollercoaster.
This doesn’t have to consume your life. You can let go of the anger and frustration. Release the pressure and anxiety you’ve been constrained by and reclaim your sex life and intimacy with your partner.
Most importantly? You don’t have to walk this path alone.
You get to write your own story, too.
Jen xx
