Fertility Coaching
Hi there, I’m Caroline.
I’ve had my own run in with infertility. The friends, who no matter how they try just can’t find the right words, the strangers who put their foot in it and the christenings I would avoid.
More than 100 female teachers who had accessed fertility treatment in the last 10 years completed a survey; the results showed that 99.1% of teachers found fertility treatment emotionally challenging and 67% felt work added to the stress of fertility treatment (Fertility Issues in Teaching, 20222).
My coaching programme offers emotional support and practical solutions to help you to combine your career and trying to conceive.
I’ll give you tools to help you balance work, and will guide you in basics such as the leave you’re entitled to and how to prepare for making your school aware about upcoming appointments.
Working with me means you’ll still be a step closer to fulfilling your career dreams and reaching a place where you don’t settle for less in all areas of your life.
Is this you?
- You want to be in the best possible mindset for IVF
- You're ready to ditch the feeling of loneliness and isolation that comes with infertility
- You want to talk to someone who doesn't tell you to 'just relax'
- You're ready to feel more positive and start enjoying life again
- You want to feel in control of what you're thinking and feeling
- You want to learn how to make IVF and your career work
- You want to find tools to help you cope rather than keeping busy
- You're ready to take your life off hold
What is Fertility Coaching?
Fertility Coaching isn’t counselling. Counsellors and therapists look at the past and help you work through that, whereas fertility coaching moves you forward in your life. Fertility Coaching provides a framework of coping mechanisms and tools. I help you develop self-awareness to overcome the challenges that come with fertility treatment, to go from feeling stuck to strong.
This transformational experience lays solid foundations to a healthy mindset when you’re trying to conceive. Doctors and other medical staff are there for your clinical care, whereas a fertility coach is there to support you emotionally. I’ll give you a cuddle and a kick up the bum to get you to where you want to be.
I work with professional women who are:
- Trying to conceive naturally
- Planning to expand their family through fertility treatment including: IUI, IVF, ICSI, surrogacy, or donor conception
- Considering solo motherhood
- Ready to draw a line in the sand and apply techniques that make trying to conceive fit in with their in their day to day life
- Searching for a better frame of mind before tackling fertility treatment again

Final words from me
You’re not alone. For many, the road to growing a family isn’t a straight line. I’ve worked with women who felt their confidence took a hit during fertility treatment as they became faced with doubt about their future.
The best way to deal with doubt is to act. To maintain a healthy mindset, you need to take action — the more you work at this area of your life the more your negative thoughts will be silenced as you build momentum.
Most of the time, we’re not afraid of the actual action of fertility treatment; we’re fearful of the uncertain results that come with it: being concerned that our career progression could suffer, and that IVF won’t work.
Most times, our doubts are based on the worst-case scenario we have created in our minds.
Are you ready to let go of that doubt?
