Hi, I’m Kirsten! I’m a fertility-focused nutritionist passionate about helping women and couples over 35 on their path to parenthood. After my own difficult journey, I became a mum to twin boys and discovered a deep commitment to supporting others facing unexplained infertility and recurrent miscarriage.
