I help women stop trying so hard to get pregnant and instead approach fertility from a place of love, trust, and surrender.
​​​​
Because fertility is not only about conception.
​
It is also about resilience, self-trust, and coming home to your body.​​​
From conflict research to fertility support
Before starting this work, I lived a very different life.
​
As an award-winning political scientist and conflict researcher, I travelled the world studying how communities can strengthen their resilience in the face of violent conflict and extremism.
​
My work focused on understanding how people survive and grow stronger through difficult circumstances.
​
But as my own fertility journey unfolded, I felt an increasing need to turn inward.
​
I wanted to embrace a softer, more feminine side of myself — one that could bring more balance, joy, and presence into my life.
The path there was not easy.
​
After countless negative pregnancy tests, a devastating miscarriage, and several years of fertility treatment, I realized something important: I needed to learn how to surrender to whatever life placed on my path without losing my inner spark in the process.
​
During this time I began working with other women experiencing infertility and unwanted childlessness. I shared the tools I had discovered and created spaces where we could speak openly about the emotional reality of fertility struggles.
​
Inspired by the women I worked with, I decided to move forward with IVF in early 2020.
​
Our son Benjamin was born in November of that year.
In 2022 I became pregnant again — this time with our magical twins: one IVF baby and one spontaneous pregnancy conceived in the same cycle.
​
My fertility journey changed the direction of my life.
Today it allows me to support other women through one of the most vulnerable and transformative journeys they will ever walk.

My work brings together the different healing modalities I have studied and practiced over the past decade:
• Mindfulness and meditation
• Tantric embodiment practices
• Shamanic journeying
• Abdominal therapy Together,
These approaches allow me to support women in a trauma-informed way on the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels. This work is not about forcing pregnancy to happen.
It is about learning how to create the inner conditions where the body can soften, trust can return, and fertility can unfold naturally.
