Embracing Growth: My Journey to Embracing My Purpose as a Fertility and Pregnancy Coach

When I first began my journey in the nutrition coaching world, I had a clear vision. I knew I wanted to work with women, and more specifically, I felt drawn to helping women with their hormones. The intricate, powerful way that hormones shape our health, energy, and overall well-being fascinated me. But as I applied my learning to my own journey, and learned more about what drove my desires, I realized there was something bigger calling me. Something deeper.

The Dream of Helping Women Thrive Through Pregnancy and Beyond

Beyond hormone health, there was a piece of the puzzle I couldn’t ignore. I dreamed of helping women get pregnant, have healthy pregnancies, and feel supported and nourished throughout the postpartum period. This was something I felt incredibly passionate about—helping women not just survive, but thrive in such a monumental chapter of life.

But there was a challenge I hadn’t anticipated: I didn’t feel worthy of helping women in this way. I questioned my own ability to truly guide others through fertility and pregnancy. I believed that I had to have gone through these experiences myself to be able to support others fully. I wasn’t yet a mom, and I feared that would somehow hold me back or I wouldn’t be taken seriously.

A Turning Point: Enrolling in My 85-Hour Prenatal Yoga Certification

My mindset began to shift when I made a decision that would change the course of my work: I enrolled in an 85-hour prenatal yoga certification. This wasn’t just about adding another skill to my toolkit. It was about diving deep into the heart of fertility and pregnancy from a place of mindfulness, presence, and compassion. Studying fertility and pregnancy through the lens of yoga, triggered something to click for me.

Yoga is not just about physical movement; it’s about healing, connecting with our inner selves, and cultivating a sense of peace. I was reminded of the powerful spiritual teachings that guide us in every aspect of our lives. The energy of creation, growth, and nourishment wasn’t something that only a mother could understand. It was a universal energy, and I already had access to it.

I realized that I didn’t need to be a mother to help other women through this sacred time. I didn’t need to have had children to hold space for them, to support them, and to offer my knowledge. All I needed was to be my authentic self, grounded in my own healing journey and passionate about guiding others through their own transformations.

Embracing My True Worth as a Fertility and Pregnancy Coach

That’s when everything changed for me. I stopped doubting my worthiness and began embracing the truth that I was already enough. I am a healer, not because I am a mother, but because I am deeply connected to the process of transformation that every woman experiences. Whether it’s through nutrition, yoga, or simply holding space for another person, I now trust that I have something valuable to offer.

The Shift You’ll See in My Work:

As I’ve continued to grow in my own personal and professional journey, my focus has become more clear. I am leaning even more into my soul’s purpose—helping women through the entire fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum journey. Over the next few months, you’ll notice a shift in the content I share. I’ll be focusing more on the integration of my own spiritual practices, holistic health principles, and my own personal fertility journey.

I’m also excited to announce that I’ll be rebranding (slightly) after the new year to reflect this evolution in my work. You can expect to see more courses, coaching programs, and content designed to guide you through your journey with passion and authenticity.

Looking Ahead: Sharing My Fertility Journey

One of the most exciting parts of this new phase is that I’ll be sharing insights from my personal fertility journey. I want to be open and honest with you all, sharing not just the highlights, but also the challenges and lessons I’ve learned along the way. I hope my story resonates with you and that it helps you feel less alone on your own path to motherhood, fertility, or simply navigating the changes that life brings.

I’m incredibly excited for what’s ahead. I believe that through vulnerability, community, and a deep connection to our inner selves, we can create lasting change. This next step is not just about expanding my business; it’s about deepening my impact and supporting you, the women I am so honored to work with, in ways that align with my soul’s calling.

Thank you for being a part of this journey with me. I can’t wait to continue growing, learning, and evolving together.

With love and gratitude,
