I love being an IVF Guide because

I am so excited to support patients to directly connect with skilled embryologists from around the world. Embryologists not only have incredible fertility knowledge, but they also have a unique ability to support patients in fertility matters way beyond the lab. I understand the fertility market inside and out and love being able to share that knowledge with clients, to give them the absolute best chance of a successful outcome with the least cost, and I get to meet wonderful people along the way. Being able to meet outside of a clinic environment is very special, as there’s so much more time and I can be completely unbiased when discussing the many clinic options out there. You didn’t choose to be in this position and it’s probably dominating your life. I am confident that I can ease that pressure for you, by guiding you through the process in a relaxed, no-nonsense way.

Clinics I've also worked in:

Complete Fertility, UK Lister Fertility Clinic, UK Manchester Fertility Services, UK Fertility & Hormone Centre, USA RMA-New Jersey, USA Fertility Associates, New Zealand Virtus Health, SE Asia & Australia A.R.T. Institute Washington DC, USA plus many more as a locum

Interesting facts about me:

I have been lucky to live all over the world as an embryologist and IVF clinic specialist, including co-founding and leading a UK IVF clinic for 15 years. I launched The IVF Guide as a revolutionary way of giving patients access to incredible embryologists and specialists across the world, reducing their need to spend a fortune in fertility treatments, speed up their time to parenthood and reducing their stress

Often the relative importance of embryology is overlooked in a successful IVF cycle.

I love being an IVF Guide because

Being an IVF guide has become one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. It's incredibly fulfilling to assist friends and their acquaintances as they navigate the complex and often daunting world of fertility treatments. The realm of IVF is packed with technical terms and intricate details, making it overwhelming for many. Often, patients only have brief moments to grasp their treatment plans, which can be incredibly stressful when faced with unfamiliar jargon. I find great joy in demystifying the process for them, breaking down the information into understandable parts, and explaining precisely what's happening and why. It's about making a challenging journey a little easier and less intimidating. I am a certified science nerd and am deeply passionate about the world of embryology, a field where science meets hope, and every day is an opportunity to learn something new and make a real difference. My journey in this fascinating world has been anything but ordinary. From getting my hands dirty in the lab to crunching numbers behind a computer, I've loved every bit of it.

Interesting facts about me:

Welcome to my corner of the internet, where the sound of snoring isn't from a bored audience but from Hansel and Gretel, my sausage dog duo who've mastered the art of napping under my desk and whining for treats during inappropriate times in meetings. Working from home means I'm always in good (and sleepy) company. When I'm not being serenaded by doggy snores, I’m an amateur carpenter and dabble in resin furniture. Resin being a way to keep my science skills in check while having a desk job! My love for movies and books knows no bounds, and I love experimenting in the kitchen (my husband very kindly eats everything). If we were on a trivia team, I’ve got your back for science, tv shows, movies and animals, however, if a history or geography question comes up then I’m going to have to ghost you - ask me to point out where anything is on a map, and we're both getting lost. So, if you're looking for IVF guidance with a side of fun facts, then step into my (virtual) office, just make sure to step over the snoring dogs on your way in.
