From Conventional Medicine to Integrative Medicine: My Journey of Transformation
My Story
From a System to a Mission from the Heart
For over 10 years, my life was devoted to nursing in the NHS in the UK. I loved caring for people, but something inside me was unsettled. I saw women being diagnosed with infertility, undergoing invasive treatments, and feeling like pieces in a medical puzzle, with no one looking at the big picture. No one asked about the emotional weight, the invisible stress, the food that nourished them, or the history that shaped them.
That's when I realized: I didn't just want to treat symptoms. I wanted to care for people. For women as a whole.
That realization was my turning point. I dove headfirst into a new world of knowledge, searching for answers that conventional medicine couldn't give me. I studied Integrative Medicine, became a Health Coach, and delved deeper into Mindfulness, Functional Nutrition, and Yoga. Each step was a discovery, a piece that fit together to form a more complete picture of health and fertility.
How Can I Help You Thrive?
My work is the embodiment of this quest. It is the bridge between scientific rigor and the wisdom of your body. It is the combination of my clinical experience with a truly human and personalized approach. Here are some ways I can be by your side:
Do you feel trapped on the emotional roller coaster of fertility, with cycles of hope and disappointment? I will guide you to regain inner peace and confidence in your body through stress management strategies and nervous system regulation, one of the pillars of my VR Method.
Are you concerned about what you eat and how it affects your ability to conceive? I will provide you with a roadmap for functional nutrition that truly nourishes your body for fertility, optimizing the quality of your eggs and balancing your hormones.
Do you want a healthy pregnancy, but don't want any more invasive treatments or to feel alone in the process? I will show you the way to an integrative approach that looks at you as a whole—body, mind, spirit, and cycle—creating the internal and external conditions for your dream.
My Commitment to You:

All my work culminates in the VR Method – Vital Rhythm, my Integrative Fertility program. VR stands for Vital Rhythm – each woman's unique vital rhythm.
