Reproductive therapy
Are you feeling overwhelmed as you struggle to conceive, navigating the world of reproductive medicine? Coping with infertility can be a very stressful time, affecting your daily life and relationships and impacting your overall mental health. Fertility treatments can be emotionally and physically demanding.
Your family building journey may include third party reproduction, including donors and surrogates. If you are considering third party reproduction then you may require donor, surrogate and intended parent evaluations, this is something I can help you with. I can also provide you with counselling and support as you navigate this part of your family development journey which often is both exciting and challenging for various reasons.
I am here to provide emotional support as you navigate this, bringing you a sense of empowerment and enabling you to connect deeper with yourself and those around you as you journey through this season.
