You're In The Right Place
I'VE WORKED WITH LOTS OF COUPLES WHO FELT ANXIOUS AND OVERWHELMED BY THEIR FERTILITY JOURNEY...
Before working with me, clients have often tried so many things. They've read books on how to improve egg quality, had lots of testing done, tried acupuncture, tried all the supplements, tried everything that has worked for their friends. They have often tried multiple rounds of fertility treatment with no success.
My mission is to remove the confusion and overwhelm around the journey to parenthood and I outline every step for success in my Joyful Fertility programme.

"Katie offered fantastic advice and alternatives to my diet. What impressed me the most was Katie's immediate understanding of my job, life on the road and my long and, at times, unsociable hours. I also appreciated Katie not completely throwing my current diet out of the window, minor alterations & modifications..”

"We felt very supported even when we went against her advice and decided to transfer the embryo she still supported us throughout. We followed all the advice given and had success in the end. Thank you so much Katie! Forever grateful.”

It's Not Your Fault...
1 IN 6 COUPLES IN THE UK EXPERIENCE INFERTILITY & FOR 1 IN 5 IT IS "UNEXPLAINED"
Being told you have "unexplained infertility" is extremely disheartening. About 10% of all infertile couples have unexplained infertility. However, it is thought this figure could be lower if thorough screening is carried out. Some studies show around 28% of patients experiencing unexplained infertility, so a great deal has to do with how thoroughly diagnostic tests are performed.
1 IN 4 PREGNANCIES END IN MISCARRIAGE & THE STANDARD MEDICAL ANSWER IS "MORE IVF".
The conventional route to fertility treatment can only recommend more treatment as the solution. But so often I see cycle after cycle being done with no changes in between - expecting it work with more of the same. But nothing changes if nothing changes. My L.I.F.E Method digs deep to find causes and covers all of the aspects that go into making a healthy baby - for both partners.

The Old Way To Improve Fertility.
TAKING A SINGLE SUPPLEMENT OR SUPERFOOD DOES NOT HAVE THE EFFECT YOU NEED
I've been there. When your period comes and you look for the next thing you're going to try this cycle. A supplement that you've read about or a friend recommended. A superfood you've heard is the answer to egg quality. But not knowing what your unique situation requires and then not sticking with it consistently can lead to a lot of spent money with little reward. And at worst, it can be harmful.
IVF & OTHER TREATMENTS DON'T FIX THE ROOT CAUSE
Using my L.I.F.E Method in my Joyful Fertility programme, we go right back to the beginning and conduct thorough investigations into areas that may have been missed, create actionable habit changes that you can implement with ease and do consistently, cycle after cycle - all of this creates a compound effect, which takes time and patience, but reaps the rewards.

Overwhelm and Frustration

2. CONSTANTLY WONDERING WHETHER IT WILL EVER HAPPEN
The fear is constantly lurking in the back of your mind, it's ever-present. The fear it might never happen.

Hi, I’m Katie Ward
A LEADING NUTRITIONAL THERAPIST FOR COUPLES STRUGGLING WITH GETTING OR STAYING PREGNANT
Having experienced fertility struggles myself, I'm on a mission to educate and empower couples so that they can take control of their fertility journey and experience a joyful pregnancy and beyond. I'm passionate about using preconception preparation to improve the health of future generations.
I'VE BEEN THERE. I UNDERSTAND THE STRUGGLE.
I've helped clients come out the other side of unexplained infertility, recurrent miscarriage and secondary infertility. Those with endometriosis, adenomyosis, fibroids, PCOS and male factor infertility. I draw on my methodical nature (I have a degree in Human Biology) and my background in product management to break things down into simple steps in a clear and easy to follow roadmap.
My clients not only experience joyful pregnancies, but they come away with improved overall health - better sleep, digestion, mood, cycles, skin... and lifelong knowledge and tools to continue that for themselves and their families.
…AND NOW IT'S YOUR TURN!

"With the supplements Katie has recommended my cycle has gone from being quite short with late ovulation (and a very short luteal phase) to last month 27 days with ovulation on day 14. I have not had a cycle like that since before I got pregnant with my son! I also have far less - almost no - PMS symptoms”

"Katie is fantastic and leaves no stone unturned in trying to help us to address our struggles with fertility. Having spoken to lots of different medical professionals and felt a bit passed from pillar to post, Katie gets it and is committed to helping us get to the bottom of it. The sessions are helpful as it allows time in between to make the changes while still feeling in regular contact. Anything I’ve been unsure of I’ve been able to check with Katie via the chat, which is really helpful.”

Your Fertility Journey Doesn't Have To Continue with Confusion
I know you've tried all the different things. Maybe you've been told by your doctor or clinic that you have "unexplained infertility". And that's left you feeling confused...the question is, why is nothing working?
But I don't believe in "unexplained infertility". I believe it just means that not enough things have been looked at yet. And that a truly personalised plan of action has not been put in place to address it. And if you do have a diagnosis such as PCOS, endometriosis or male factor infertility - then there are plenty of aspects to work on from a holistic perspective.
JOYFUL FERTILITY GIVES YOU A SIMPLE, ACTIONABLE ROADMAP, THAT IS TARGETED TO YOUR UNIQUE NEEDS AS A COUPLE, AND EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO MASTER YOUR FERTILITY IN 4 MONTHS.

So What Is Joyful Fertility?
JOYFUL FERTILITY UNPACKS ALL THE FOUNDATIONS NEEDED TO IMPROVE YOUR FERTILITY AND BRING HOME A HEALTHY BABY
Before our first session, tests will be ordered and on their way to you - we might even already have some results. Then we kick off with an in depth consultation with both of you and set out your roadmap for any further investigations (if needed) and a step by step plan that is unique to you, with bi-weekly follow up calls to assess progress, troubleshoot any challenges and layer in the next set of habits to build.
You will have resources to help you along the way and I will be available for support & accountability via a secure messaging platform between our sessions.

Joyful Fertility Gives You Everything You Need To Optimise Your Fertility With Joy...
...EVEN IF YOU STRUGGLE TO MAKE CHANGES..
There's no magic bullet. Not a single food or supplement that on its own will change the outcome. You might think you know what you need to eat, but it's not always so easy to actually implement it in your life. I help you to actually implement these changes in your life - so that it's simple, becomes a habit and can be a joy.
...EVEN IF YOU'VE TRIED EVERYTHING..
I get it. It feels like you've tried everything. But this programme is about building consistency in the small, seemingly inconsequential habits, so that you experience a compounding effect. It's not rocket science, but it does take time and patience.
...EVEN IF YOU'VE BEEN TOLD THERE'S NO SPECIFIC CAUSE..
Do you really believe that in your heart and soul? That it's "unexplained"? That just means it hasn't been found yet, maybe it's not been looked for hard enough. It is very common that I see clients with even the basics not having been checked properly. Clients who have been through 2 rounds of IVF and not even had Day 3 hormones checked.
...EVEN IF YOU HAVE LOW AMH..
AMH is not an indication of egg quality. And the research is starting to show it's not even a reliable predictor of egg quantity. It's not something I tend to recommend testing or letting it have that much influence over the personalised plan I give to my clients. Instead, I focus on the aspects we can influence that research shows have an effect on egg quality (the quality of the DNA inside the egg & the environment that the egg is developing in).
NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE NOW, BY THE END OF JOYFUL FERTILITY YOU'LL HAVE IMPROVED YOUR EGG QUALITY, SPERM QUALITY AND WOMB HEALTH THAT ARE THE FOUNDATIONS TO BRINGING HOME A HEALTHY BABY

THERE ARE SO MANY OPTIONS OUT THERE.
What Makes Joyful Fertility Any Different?
LEAVE NO STONE UNTURNED
I work like a detective, very methodically, to make sure we've looked at all potential root causes for your unique situation. This comes from thorough questioning - going far back in your history, food diary analysis and testing. All of these help me piece together the puzzle to understand what may be going on for you as a couple.
I HELP YOU TAKE ACTION CONSISTENTLY
I don't just give you a 10 page plan and tell you to follow it for 4 months. No-one would get anywhere with that approach. We break things down and decide together on what you think you can realistically achieve each week. I help you spot opportunities to help you implement these changes, so that it's not overwhelming. It's about progress over perfection.
I CONTINUALLY INVEST IN MY KNOWLEDGE
Studying for a nutritional therapy diploma barely scratches the surface of the area of fertility. Since qualifying I have spent thousands of pounds on further training and development - all centered around fertility. I spent 12 months doing a specific fertility nutrition training course with Sandra Greenbank and a further 12 months as part of her Fertility Nutrition Centre, learning from the best. Every year I complete lots of other training not to mention keeping up with the latest research, so that I can best serve my clients.
INITIAL TESTS ARE INCLUDED SO WE CAN START TAILORING YOUR PLAN FROM THE OFF
Typically working with a Nutritional Therapist you would have the initial consultation and then they would advise what tests to get. Time is then spent ordering tests, waiting for them, doing samples and waiting for results. Time is precious on this TTC journey so that is why I include some core tests for both partners as part of the programme, so that they can be ordered as soon as you decide to work with me and we'll often have some results already to work with at your initial consultation - allowing me to tailor your plan from the get go. I may recommend further tests after the initial consultation but at least we have something to work from straight away - which saves time and money.

Time is precious on this TTC journey so that is why I include some core tests for both partners as part of the programme, so that they can be ordered as soon as you decide to work with me and we'll often have some results already to work with at your initial consultation - allowing me to tailor your plan from the get go. I may recommend further tests after the initial consultation but at least we have something to work from straight away - which saves time and money.
A Personal Note From Me
I KNOW HOW FRUSTRATING IT IS WHEN YOU'VE TRIED EVERYTHING AND IT JUST HASN'T WORKED.
The fewer options there are on the table, it feels even more scary to try one more thing, in case that doesn't work and there's nothing left to try. And the idea of spending more money on something when you might need to save for (more) IVF is terrifying.
But I know in my heart and soul as well as in my rational mind (I studied biology at uni), that our bodies are designed to conceive and carry a healthy baby to term. And that when there is a struggle here, either naturally and/or unsuccessful IVF cycles, there is a reason why. And that with the right environment, the body can heal. This was what I truly believed when I was in my own fertility struggle, because it just made complete sense to me. And I suspect you know this too.
I KNOW THAT IT'S SCARY TO CONSIDER INVESTING IN THIS KIND OF PROGRAMME WHEN YOU THINK YOU MIGHT HAVE TO SAVE FOR IVF
There are no guarantees, I'm afraid. IVF is not a guarantee either. But don't you agree, that taking the time to thoroughly prepare and improve your egg and sperm quality is worth it? You may fall pregnant naturally. You may still choose IVF but at least the raw ingredients have been improved and therefore, so have your chances of success. You will absolutely come away with improved health, energy, mood, cycles, sleep, digestion and armed with the knowledge and tools to continue that through your life, for yourselves and your future family.

The Future Looks Bright
LET ME PAINT THE PICTURE FOR YOU...
You wake up in 4 months time. You've had the best night sleep you've had in ages and wake up feeling refreshed and full of life. You prepare yourself a nutritious breakfast - not because you feel you should, but because you genuinely enjoy it. Your tastes have changed and you just know that it's not worth eating the same way you used to because it makes you feel awful.
You continue to have amazing energy throughout the morning - you don't need 3 cups of coffee to keep going. You still take the time to enjoy a great quality coffee, but because you enjoy it, not because you need it.
You have regular bowel movements every day with great consistency and no strain. This is fantastic because you can be confident it's supporting overall hormone balance. Which you know is true anyway, because your cycles occur without any fanfare. You're so in tune with your body that you know when you're ovulating without the need for charting or fancy devices.
You have the confidence in your food and lifestyle choices, and you just know you'll never go back to how it was before. You're ready to continue trying naturally or go for a fertility treatment cycle, positive in the knowledge that you both have done everything you can to improve your egg and sperm quality from the inside out. And above all, you're feeling joy in your every day life.
WELCOME TO YOUR NEW NORMAL.

Frequently Asked Questions
I HAVE AN IVF CYCLE BOOKED, IS THIS PROGRAMME STILL FOR ME?
If you have an imminent cycle planned, then no, this is not the right time to take part in this programme with me. The work we do together is heavily focused on improving the health of the egg and sperm - which requires time and that is why this programme is 4 months long. Eggs take 3 months to mature and sperm take close to that. So there would be very little we could achieve to influence the results of an imminent IVF cycle. In the same way I request couples to stop actively TTC for the duration of the programme, I also ask that they delay any planned IVF or other treatments until the programme is complete.
I'VE ALREADY DONE LOTS OF TESTING, CAN I EXCLUDE THE TESTS FROM THE PROGRAMME?
Most of the clients I work with come to me with previous test results however, the majority of them don't have all the markers I want to look at as a baseline. This is why I include the core tests in the programme itself to make it as efficient as possible. Otherwise, we wait until we have the Initial Consultation, from which I identify that I don't have all the necessary markers, so I get your agreement to do the tests which we then have to order etc. This all takes up precious time. Whereas by including them in the programme, we can get them all ordered as soon as you sign up and we can have a lot of the results going into the Initial Consultation, allowing me to tailor the programme and supplement protocol right from the start. Some tests need to be done at particular points in your cycle and then have a 3 week turnaround for results - so again, ordering them up front makes it all more efficient for you.
HOW MUCH WILL I NEED TO SPEND ON TESTS & SUPPLEMENTS?
This is impossible for me to say up front. The core baseline tests are included in the cost of the programme. Sometimes I do recommend additional tests for a couple based on what we discover in the Initial Consultation. The prices will be discussed with you and I will help you make a decision whether to go forward or not. Please know that I don't recommend testing for the sake of it - only if it's going to help us to tailor the programme more effectively, make things more efficient or in some cases if it's going to help the couple to implement the changes being asked. Some people like to see raw data in front of them for motivation. Regarding supplements - I do tend to recommend quite a few supplements. Mainly again, for efficiency. If we have limited time to work with, we want to get the quickest results possible and that's where supplements can help. The brands I recommend are always of the highest grade quality and forms of nutrients and so they are more expensive than typical high street options. Of course, where there are budget constraints I will do my best to make recommendations that honour that and will discuss this with you individually, always making it clear what would be the ideal supplement and what are some alternatives with the various pros and cons.
CAN WE STILL ACTIVELY TTC WHILST DOING THIS PROGRAMME?
This depends on your unique situation however, for the majority of the couples I work with I recommend stopping TTC whilst doing this work with me. This is because many interventions and supplements become limited when there is a potential pregnancy and so for 2 weeks out of every 4, we become limited about what we can achieve - which increases the overall time to success. Additionally, for a lot of couples I work with, we identify reasons that may be contributing to the fertility struggle and if left unchecked, may contribute to pregnancy loss or complications later in pregnancy. Our goal here is not just to get pregnant - but to stay pregnant and bring home a healthy baby.
CAN YOU GUARANTEE ME A BABY AT THE END OF THIS PROGRAMME?
I truly wish I could guarantee you a baby, but I'm afraid that I can't. Neither can IVF or any other form of therapy / treatment. It is absolutely possible to do this work and bring home a healthy baby. But what you will definitely come away with (assuming you have done the work of implementing the recommendations) is the confidence that you have done everything within your power to optimise the health of the raw ingredients that go into making a baby and supporting a baby to term. And as a result, you will feel so much better in your own health (more energy, better sleep, better digestion, improved mood, improved cycles) and empowered with this knowledge and understanding for the rest of your life.
