Feel guided and supported as you prepare for your journey through conception, pregnancy and beyond.
Book your free 30 minute discovery call to find out how.
Most people trying to get pregnant start with a heart full of dreams and few questions, but as the journey to parenthood takes longer than expected, then the questions and thoughts can start creeping in – Am I a failure? (You’re not!) How does everyone else get pregnant so easily? Why won’t my body work in the way I want it to? I feel let down by my body.
Did you know that women feel this burden more often than men? (but it takes egg and sperm to make a baby) this is partly due to in the past the woman have been investigated far more than the men for issues. But now we know so much more about male sperm and the part it plays in conception and ongoing pregnancy that the focus is now changing to both partners (including if using a donor).
I know you’ve had enough of the rollercoaster of hope and disappointment each month; the overwhelm of conflicting advice and information out there, unsure which sources to trust; you want your relationship to change back to the joyous journey rather than the one that it’s become, a source of tension and stress, testing the strength of bond and communication. You need someone who can provide clarity amidst the confusion and that’s where I come in. I’m here to support and guide you through your journey, help you pick up the pieces and put you back together.
My name is Karen, I am a Registered Nurse, complementary therapist, health coach and holistic fertility specialist. I support and guide singles and couples as they go through their journey both naturally, and if required assisted conception (ART). Through my integrated approach to enhance fertility and pregnancy outcomes I combine health coaching, nutritional therapy, homeopathy, aromatherapy and fertility reflexology to help adjust mindset, reduce stress levels, enhance egg and sperm quality or just give a safe space to rant!
You may have read lots of conflicting advice on what to eat or not eat, which supplements to take and which ones to avoid, there is so much information out there that it becomes overwhelming, let me help you find your way through that maze.
Friends and family are ready and willing to give you well-meaning advice, it worked for their best friend’s neighbour so it must work for you! I work with personalised protocols, everyone needs something slightly different, we are all unique.
You may not have discussed any of your dreams or disappointments with anyone and no one knows what you are going through and how you are feeling. I provide a safe space to discuss thoughts, feelings and more.
I have taken the information out there and have made it clear and easy for you to follow, allowing you to concentrate on being kind to yourself, reducing the pressure you are putting on yourself to get pregnant and support your relationship.
Once you have conceived, I will support you to have the healthiest pregnancy possible through nutrition, aromatherapy, homeopathy and if local maternity reflexology.
From the first appointment Karen made us feel welcome and reassured. She met with my husband and I to go through our medical history and to discuss any fertility issues we have had.
We had just had a miscarriage and Karen was very supportive and understanding. She also helped us think about our lifestyle and diet and encouraged me to go for more blood tests, she then fully explained the results of the blood tests which the doctor had not done!
I have returned to Karen many times for reflexology over the last 7 months, this was very relaxing and supported my problems with stress. At every session Karen took the time to chat to me to find out how my husband and I were getting on and I think she offered a great listening ear and some valuable advice.
We are now in a much better place emotionally and physically and I am 20 weeks pregnant. I would recommend Karen to anyone dealing with fertility problems or issues with stress and anxiety as I know she really helped me!

I found Karen over three years ago but only recently started having regular reflexology sessions. My primary concern is fertility as in almost 6 months we are yet to conceive as my periods aren’t regular. Prior to sessions I felt a little lost as my GP hasn’t been overly helpful but after time with Karen I feel relaxed. Having monthly sessions are like attending a mix of therapy and yoga. If you are someone who recognising they have a physical or emotional need for some attention I’d highly recommend Karen. If you are on the fence about what treatment will do, then please try it.

I started working with Karen recently to get some help and support on our fertility journey. The process can be very overwhelming emotionally, mentally and physically so I really needed somebody knowledgeable and friendly. Just from our initial consultation with Karen, I could tell she was exactly who we had been looking for. She talked us through all of our test results, discussed diet and lifestyle changes that would help improve our health and our chances, and looked at us as a whole person, and not just one part of the body that isn’t doing what it should. I very rarely feel so heard when it comes to my fertility journey and Karen made me feel like she understood everything and would do whatever she could to help.
If you’re thinking of working with Karen, just do it! You’ll be in excellent and caring hands!

TESTING
Testing can be very important to find the root cause, I have access to tests that you may not have been offered before, by either the NHS or private clinics. Often ‘unexplained’ means that the deeper tests haven’t been carried out. Before suggesting supplements its good to know which ones you really need. I’m a big advocate of testing rather than guessing.
- For male – DNA Fragmentation
- For male & female – Gut microbiome, Semen or vaginal microbiome
- Bloods – eg Full thyroid panel, Vitamin D
- Food sensitivity tests
- Female – DUTCH test

What will your journey look like as you work with me?
This can be carried out from the comfort of your home over zoom and can allow for the partner to be part of the session if they are not attending for the reflexology sessions. Our first session together will be going over the comprehensive fertility questionnaire(s) that you have filled in and returned to me before the session. A review of any test results sent to me will also be carried out and feedback given.
Once I have a complete picture then together, we will decide the best treatment plan for you, this will include how often and when’s the best time to attend for treatments, the support you wish for between reflexology sessions.
I will recommend how you can increase the health of both the egg and sperm; this will include diet and lifestyle recommendations known to help, ideas to reduce stress levels and generally balance the body and mind, this will include access to the guided visualisations and relaxation videos I have on my website only accessible to those on a programme.
Fertility (Reproflexology™) reflexology in-person, an hour’s session of foot reflexology to help relax, de-stress and rebalance, using additional Reproflexology™ techniques that support your reproductive system throughout your cycle. Hand reflexology homework will be given when appropriate to continue to help support your cycle between the sessions.
If you are not coming for in-person treatments then appropriate weekly protocols for hand reflexology to support your cycle will be given for you to carry out at home.
Reproflexology™ protocols are specific for ttc naturally or going through ART and change weekly according to where you are in your cycle or treatment programme.
If there are any outstanding test results to be reviewed or new test results obtained, they can be reviewed at any point in your journey.
Support is offered throughout via email (in office times) and at sessions.
