Integrative Fertility: A Personalised Approach to Supporting Your Fertility, or Your Fertility as a Couple
Imagine waking up each morning feeling more confident in your body’s wisdom, more at peace with your process, and more hopeful about the future. Imagine having someone by your side who truly understands you, or understands you as a couple, guiding you with solid scientific knowledge and offering emotional support at every step of the journey.
This is not just a distant ideal. It reflects the personalised and integrative support that my Integrative Fertility Programme can offer.
Integrative Fertility Programme (1:1)
VR Method (Vital Rhythm)
The VR Method, Vital Rhythm, it is the unique approach I have developed over the years, bringing together my 10+ years of clinical experience within the NHS with the latest insights from integrative medicine, functional nutrition, health coaching and mindfulness.
VR significa Vital Rhythm, The unique vital rhythm of each woman, and also of each couple walking this journey.
Because I believe that when your inner rhythm, or your shared rhythm as a couple, aligns with the needs of your body, mind and heart, you create the conditions for balance, health and wellbeing to truly flourish.
The 5 Fundamental Pillars of the VR Method
It’s not about diets, it’s an evidence based nutritional plan designed to support your hormones, cycle and fertility, with personalised dietary recommendations, appropriate supplementation, and safe checking for interactions between supplements and drugs.
Chronic stress makes fertility more difficult because it keeps the nervous system in a constant state of alert. With the mind-body techniques I teach, you will learn how to regulate this state, reducing the ‘fight-or-flight’ response and creating a more supportive internal environment for fertility.
Sleep is the time when the body regenerates and produces many of the hormones essential for fertility. We will work on optimising your sleep quality so that you wake up truly restored and with the energy you need to face the day.
This isn’t about intense workouts that can place even more stress on your body. It’s about mindful movement, yoga, and practices that help you reconnect with your body.
The fertility journey can deeply affect your relationships, especially with your partner. We will work on strategies to strengthen your connection, improve communication, and create an environment of mutual love and support.

Testimonial
What my clients says
I learned to connect with my body in a healthier way and accept what my body is telling me. What changed most in me was the way I eat and feel more mindful when I eat, thinking about whether this food is the best for me and feeling that it is healthy for me. I learned to celebrate my victories and feel proud of how far I've come, which we often forget and is good to remember. I am very grateful.
You help people see all angles of their lives and, at the same time, bring awareness to what they are doing and need to do in a more informed way. You are a source of information and you are able to give us information and make us think differently, because other options can also be good options. You deal with love and affection, and I think that's one of your superpowers as a professional. That made me feel comfortable talking because I knew that what I was going to receive was with love and affection.
I learned and remembered many things... And how important it is to maintain our internal consistency.
As always, whenever I put myself in Vânia's hands, magic happens. These sessions allowed me to give myself the time I didn't allow myself to give throughout a year full of challenges. As always, this magnificent woman works her magic on me in what I allow myself to experience and choose on my path. A human being to whom I have no hesitation in surrendering myself, because I know I am in the best hands, a place of enormous Love, in a safe and sacred feminine place.
I was quite overwhelmed when we started the sessions, but I have already made small changes that make me feel calmer, more relaxed, and open to experiencing new things. I am more committed to taking care of myself and making changes to live a better version of myself. Committing to you helped me commit to the changes. Having someone to guide me when I didn't know where to turn makes all the difference. It's great to have a healthcare professional to help us in this way.
