Hello, I am Heather, founder of My Holistic Fertility. Unlike many people drawn to work in fertility, I was extremely fortunate to have my children without any trouble conceiving. However, my experience was far from being a happy one.

I was 22 when I conceived my first child, living in Spain, with no family around and completely unsupported by an abusive partner. My pregnancy was a lonely, scary experience. I didn’t speak Spanish back then, didn’t have access to the internet to research choices in pregnancy, and didn’t have anyone to lean on. I suffered with antenatal depression, long before I knew it was even a thing. I spent my pregnancy uninformed and unhappy. Just 2 years later I found myself in a similar situation with my second child. I was coerced into a birth choice I did not want. There was no choice, no support and no one to advocate for me or to empower me. It deeply affected my early years with my children and my memories of what should have been the happiest time of my life.

Shortly after my second child was born, my best friend lost her newborn baby after a traumatic birth caused by negligent care, her baby was born so poorly he never recovered from the birth. My friend almost died too and had a full hysterectomy to save her life, leaving her unable to ever have another child. This was the catalyst for me to find my calling to work with women, to become a midwife, to be ‘with woman’.

As a single mum with 2 young children, I moved back to the UK and retrained as a midwife, which was incredibly challenging! But finally qualifying and working as a community midwife fulfilled my passion and goal to support women when they were vulnerable, to advocate for them, and give them the support they deserved and needed.

I loved my job but found providing continuity of care, and giving women my unlimited time, increasingly difficult working in the NHS so I re trained as a holistic therapist.

Working as a reflexologist I found myself naturally attracting clients trying to conceive, leading me to specialise in fertility. Sharing in a successfully journey to conception is such a privilege and a joy. I knew this fulfilling work was my calling.

Over the last 15 years, I have been privileged to support hundreds of women and be by their side through tears, heartbreak, excitement and joy on their journey to parenthood.

I provide a safe, nurturing environment, allowing you to feel genuinely heard and valued. So many times, clients have told me that their concerns about their fertility have been ignored or dismissed by health care professionals and they feel let down, lost and unsure where to turn next.

When we work together, I will impart my extensive knowledge of fertility to you, enabling you to take control of your reproductive health. My mission is to empower you by providing evidence-based advice to educate and guide you on your fertility journey. I integrate all my knowledge and expertise to provide a unique fertility service, combining my experience in midwifery, holistic therapy, nutrition, life coaching and fertility awareness mentoring.

If you don’t want to go it alone anymore, let me support you. I can guide you through your next steps, hold your hand and be your advocate. I would love to have the opportunity to help you and hear your story. We can start our journey together with a fertility review call.

Jess is a fully certified Solution Focussed Hypnotherapist (AfSFH, CPHT), having qualified in 2021 following her own personal journey with hypnotherapy and how it helped her overcome her own pregnancy struggles.

Jess works daily with patients suffering with stress, anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD and more. She is passionate about helping people make positive changes in their lives by reducing the worries and “what ifs” and instead looking at how they want their future to be. Jess is empathetic, caring and empowering.

“I am genuinely passionate in helping people to see that there is a way to overcome the negative voices and overarching worries that take over their head. I have experienced first-hand how debilitating negatively forecasting the future can be and how powerful Solution Focussed Hypnotherapy can be in changing your mindset. In the incredibly sensitive and overwhelming area of fertility it is even more crucial to try and stay emotionally balanced and I can delicately guide people through this.”
