Success stories
Some words from Kat Boyd Natural Fertility Coach
Have you ever wished someone would take you by the hand and guide you through the process of how to conceive a baby, especially when you've tried for so long to work it out yourself.
During my struggle to conceive I felt this way too, and that's why I'm dedicated to helping women just like you.
With my help, you'll overcome every obstacle that's been in your way, make your fertility thrive and set you on a clear path towards parenthood like these couples did.
Success after miscarriage
I'm truly sorry for the silent suffering that miscarriage brings, and I'm here to help you heal and prepare for the future. You're not alone, and there are steps we can take to significantly reduce the likelihood of recurrence. By prioritising the improvement of egg, uterine and sperm health through nutrition, lifestyle changes, and exploring potential autoimmune or genetic factors, we can help increase your chances of a successful pregnancy. It's important to acknowledge and work on your grief and fears, and we'll work together to restore your confidence in your body’s magnificent ability to have a healthy pregnancy.
"We don't know how we can ever thank you enough for all that you have done to help us conceive and grow our beautiful baby boy.
The work you do is completely life changing for people and you are an amazing source of support for many who may have got to a stage of losing hope and direction. Thank you doesn't really express the gratitude we have."
Sharon, Aged 35,
PCOS Infertility and Miscarriage
"We've just had our 12-week scan all is going perfectly, we've never gotten this far! I know we still have a way to go but thank you for being part of what helped us along the way - physically and mentally. I learnt so much from you about nutrition that has set me on a new path, and aside from that, you were a great support when I really needed it." (Update: she had a healthy girl weighing 9 lb 3 oz and is planning her next baby.)
Vanessa, Aged 34, Unexplained Infertility & Recurrent Miscarriage
"Thank you so much for your caring advice and support throughout this last year. You have no doubt made our dreams come true. We are mad about our little miracle."
Ingrid, Aged 34,
Immune Related Infertility Leading to Recurrent Miscarriage
Success after failed IVF
Experiencing disappointment after unsuccessful IVF can be incredibly challenging, given all you've endured. Our approach centres on enhancing egg and sperm health through nutrition, minimising endocrine-disrupting hormones from your environment, and conducting genetic tests for both sperm and your body's ability to process folic acid. Equally important is maintaining a balanced vaginal microbiome for a healthy pregnancy and reduced risk of miscarriage. Our ultimate goal is to help you bypass IVF, just as others have, by bolstering your fertility and increasing your prospects for natural conception.
“This worked for me! After 4 rounds of IVF and 4 miscarriages, aged 39, I decided that I needed more help beyond the IVF clinics and sought advice from Kat. From the minute I met her she listened to my situation and immediately began designing a bespoke programme that suited my needs before undergoing another round of IVF. What struck me is how holistically she considered everything from your body, your mind and your lifestyle. You can’t always get a direct reason why we so unfortunately can lose babies but Kat gave me clear actions to address my life across the board which really felt were contributing to a positive outcome.
These included:
Meeting and working with Kat on a personalised plan that suited my needs made all the difference. Within only a few months I was pregnant and I now have GORGEOUS twin boys who just light up my life and make everything we have been through so worthwhile.”
Josie, Aged 39, Recurrent Miscarriage & Four IVF Failures
"We just wanted to let you know the very exciting news our new baby daughter was born yesterday weighing in at an impressive 8 lbs 10 ounces!
We honestly cannot thank you enough for all your help and support over the last year and making our dream come true."
Rebecca, Aged 35, Unexplained Infertility & Failed IVF
Success with unexplained infertility
Unexplained infertility is a common problem couples face, often prompting doctors to suggest IVF, which can only offer at best a success rate of around 30% per cycle (if you're under 35). My approach involves a meticulous examination of your case to uncover any potential obstacles to conception, leaving no avenue unexplored in your journey towards parenthood. I prioritise comprehensive preconception care and nutritional support for both partners. I conduct genetic tests, thoroughly assess male fertility, and educate you about hormone balance, stress management and ensure that you are confident recognising your ovulation signs so you can find your best time to get pregnant.
“Our journey to having our baby boy was a long and exhausting one. After 5 years struggling to conceive naturally, our next option was IVF, or so we thought.
I heard of Kat through a friend, so we decided to see her as a last resort prior to starting IVF. She showed me how to recognise my fertile times and taught me a lot more about my fertility, which helped me become more attuned to my body.
She assessed me and found that I was deficient in many important nutrients. She organised an amazing pre-conception plan and taught me how to incorporate foods and a healthier lifestyle into my daily living.
It wasn’t long before I started to see clearer skin, better hair and experienced clear thinking like never before. Then I started losing weight and people commented on how great I looked – what a bonus! After 5 months of being on the Birds & Bees program we found out we were pregnant.
My pregnancy was problem free, and we now are the proud, happy parents of our son Jack.”
Zoe, Aged 39, Unexplained infertility
"I no longer feel alone. Given Kat’s personal experience, I knew she really understood what I was going through. She regularly checked in with me and offered a heap of positivity and it was just what I needed to keep going.
I feel so lucky to have been given the opportunity to understand nutrition, the pre-conception process to be able to give our baby the best possible start in life. That is magical and fills me with joy and excitement. In the meantime, I’ve lost weight, am less tired, less bloated and generally happier – result!
After six months of seeing Kat, I’ve had the strength to carry on with her program unassisted, focused on our end goal without the same sense of fear or anger.
I truly believe that my husband and I will have a healthy, happy baby one day. Maybe not next month, maybe not in six months, but at some point. And when we do, I will know that it was the right time for us.”
Update: Emi fell pregnant and had her baby girl a year after she wrote this. She is now planning her next baby.
Emi, Aged 38, Unexplained Infertility
Success with PCOS
Conquering polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) related infertility is a journey I've personally navigated, so I understand your frustrations. The first step is identifying which hormones might be causing the imbalance, and then we can create a treatment plan tailored just for you. PCOS can be tricky, but don't worry – we'll address it from every angle. Beyond affecting ovulation, PCOS comes with some added pregnancy concerns, but together, we'll manage them effectively. We'll focus on holistic solutions, including fixing any nutritional gaps, using gentle herbal remedies to get your cycle regular, and keeping insulin levels in check. Plus, if needed, we'll work on achieving a healthy weight because it can make a big difference in your pregnancy journey.
"I don't think any testimonial could quite express how grateful my husband and I are to Kat and just how brilliant she is. I am currently sat watching my beautiful 6-month baby boy sleep, something I thought would never be more than fantasy is now a reality. Fertility is hugely personal and an emotive topic. Anyone working in this field needs to have exceptional knowledge and acres of empathy - Kat has both.
If you are deciding whether to contact Kat, just do it! You will never look back."
Elodie, Aged 39, PCOS - Ovulatory Infertility & Miscarriage
"Kat has been an incredibly supportive, approachable and insightful naturopath. She has taught me about nutrition, fertility, hormones and self-love, all of which helped me regain my period within six-months of seeing her and get pregnant my second try.
I always feel joyful and light after we meet. I would recommend Kat to any woman that wants to understand her body and her health better or needs support for fertility."
Imogen, Aged 37, PCOS - Ovulatory Infertility
Success over 40
For women aspiring to become mothers in their 40s and 50s, I'll be your biggest cheerleader. Don't lose hope, even if your doctor has expressed doubts. As long as you're still having periods, there's potential. During your fertility coaching sessions, our focus will be on nurturing both egg and sperm health for 120 days, maximising your chances of conception. We’ll also address potential barriers to getting pregnant, including vaginal microbiome balance, thyroid health, and overall well-being, to pave the way for a successful pregnancy and a healthy baby.
"I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know that we have welcomed our baby boy into the world. We are both doing well and we are just delighted. I know that you massively helped us and I really wanted to thank you for all your dedication."
Kerry, Aged 42, Age Related Infertility
"I am overjoyed to share my journey to finally be a mother against all odds at the age of 48, after six long years of battling infertility. This miracle was made possible through the dedicated support and guidance of Kat's fertility coaching. She recommended vital nutritional and medical tests, helped me implement lifestyle changes and prescribed the supplements I needed to help my egg quality. She helped my husband get on board with the process which made it feel like we were a team, fixated on our goal and never feeling closer. Today, I hold our healthy baby boy, who is the absolute joy of my life. Kat made the impossible possible, and I am forever grateful for her expertise and compassion and never giving up on us when everyone else did."
Chloe, Aged 48, Age Related Infertility
Success with male infertility
I recognise that men can feel helpless during their fertility journey, and they, too, need someone to talk to for support and stress relief while navigating the pressure of timing intercourse around ovulation. I'm dedicated to helping improve male fertility because sperm have the remarkable ability to regenerate every 72 days. This means there's a lot we can do to enhance your chances of achieving pregnancy while avoiding IUI, ICSI, or other expensive IVF costs.
My approach involves thorough preconception care and dietary enhancements, including the use of top-quality male fertility supplements. We also focus on identifying and addressing DNA fragmentation, a crucial factor in reducing the risk of miscarriage.
I understand that motivating men is essential, so I often present the science behind our strategies to empower them and provide the knowledge needed to overcome male infertility, ultimately helping them realise their dream of becoming fathers.
“I cannot express how grateful I am for the incredible support and guidance I received from Kat throughout our journey to parenthood. My husband and I faced the heartbreak of infertility due to his poor sperm quality and 2 previous miscarriages.
The moment I met Kat, she offered us hope, expert advice, and unwavering encouragement. She uncovered why his sperm had issues, resolved his digestive problems and taught him how to really look after himself.
After 6 months, we got pregnant naturally and gratefully saved the cost of IVF. Not only do I have the most perfect baby I’ve always dreamed of I also have a fit and healthy husband. Thank you is not a big enough word for how I am feeling.”
Peter and Mai, Aged 42 & 47, IBS, Low Motility, Morphology & High DNA Fragmentation
"Kat, words just can't explain how grateful we are to you for helping us become parents to our beautiful baby. You enabled us to finally travel a path and journey that is so special and fulfilling and one that we are so thankful for. You are amazing!"
Lee & Marc, Aged 38 & 43, Low AMH & Male Factor Infertility
Hi Kat, thought I’d drop you a line to say that my husband’s morphology has gone up from 1 to 5! We’re going to postpone out ICSI and try naturally, finally. He’s taking all the vitamins you gave him and cut down on the booze. Thanks for all the help you’ve given him. Wish us luck!
Alida & Alex, 38 & 34, Male Infertility - Low Sperm Morphology
"We’d been trying to conceive unsuccessfully for 4 years and then we finally got the diagnosis that my husband’s sperm motility was poor. We could not afford the huge cost of IVF so we were faced with having to do IUI. I thought best to seek some further help, and this is when I found Kat. Her thoughtful and thorough approach to testing and clearing up an infection, helping him lose 2 stone and motivating my husband, helped him get his levels back into the normal range. We did not need IUI and got pregnant naturally. We have now got a gorgeous little girl who is the apple of her Daddy’s eye. Watching their special bond unfold is so beautiful and we will be forever grateful to Kat and the role she played in helping us create our little family."
Ayesha & Ben, 34 & 41, Male Infertility - Low Sperm Motility
“By the end of the first emotional coaching session, I started to feel liberated from the pressure I feel as a man to 'turn up' during the crucial ovulation window.”
Benji, 38, Erectile Dysfunction
Emotional support for infertility
Your infertility journey is as unique as you are, and there's no one-size-fits-all solution for navigating the complex emotions that come with it. It's easy for people to underestimate the emotional toll it takes, but research shows that it can be just as emotionally challenging as the loss of a loved one. The longing for a baby, combined with the struggle to conceive, can lead to stress in your relationships, bouts of sadness, jealousy, depression, anxiety, and even post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), often described as "acupuncture for your emotions," provides a powerful and scientifically proven way to help you work through these challenges on your path to conception. By tapping into specific meridian points and voicing affirmations, EFT helps individuals regain a sense of control on their fertility journey.
“By the end of the first emotional coaching session, I started to feel liberated from the pressure I feel as a man to 'turn up' during the crucial ovulation window.”
Benji, 38, Fertility Emotional Support with EFT for Erectile Dysfunction & Infertility
”Prior to meeting Kat, I’d had two miscarriages and became really upset, stressed and jealous whenever I saw other people babies. It was like I was empty inside and the only thing that would fix me was my own baby. My husband was not able to understand why I couldn’t go to his sister’s baby shower and why I had to withdraw from our friends and their babies. Because of this friction, our intimacy also suffered which is the last thing you want to happen when trying for a baby! A friend recommended Kat for Fertility Coaching. Kat immediately recognised my need for emotional support and offered me some EFT sessions along with a detailed fertility plan to address my nutrition and provide answers to why I was losing my babies.
After just three therapy sessions with Kat, I found newfound calm, confidence, and dare I say – even joy in holding friends' babies! 9 months later, I can report I’m 24 weeks' pregnant– I’ve just had my scan and everything is perfect! Thank you, Kat, for helping me get this far and giving me the confidence to know that soon I will be holding my own baby girl.” You really are amazing.
Geeta, 33 Fertility Emotional Support with EFT for Infertility & Miscarriage
“Thanks for this morning’s session. As I drove home my mind was completely calm & completely clear- no negative thoughts at all, in fact no thoughts at all just driving in the sunshine, totally in the moment, with an overall sense of peacefulness- a feeling I have not experienced in a really long time. Following our session, I feel a little less hopeless, a Little less negative....a bit braver maybe?
Jacinta 37, Fertility Emotional Support with EFT for Secondary Infertility
I just want to express my gratitude to Kat for my EFT session that I had recently. I wasn't sure what to expect from this and was amazed at how quickly something shifted in me before the session was even over. I have been trying to get pregnant for some time and as I approach my 40th birthday my anxiety levels have increased manifesting all sorts of physical ailments in my body, making it difficult for conception to happen. My own methods of trying to push thoughts out of my mind & just ‘let go’ have been unsuccessful leading to a feeling of desperation, which in turn leads to more anxiety. Negative emotions have been part of me for so long and I felt I needed some emotional healing.
Kat has shown me that this is possible and was extremely easy to open-up to, even though I find expressing myself verbally quite difficult at times. She showed patience with me and made me feel so calm during the session whilst enabling me to unlock certain blockages in my mind.
I also want to thank Kat for giving me great advice & healing messages so that I can accept myself wholly. I am going to work EFT into my daily routine and look forward to more feelings of ‘freeness’.
Catherine 39, Fertility Emotional Support with EFT for Unexplained Infertility
Thanks Kat, I AM feeling good, it's wonderful! Just been telling hubby how amazing it is. This will all be a great relief to him to as he DOES get affected by me being this way. I'm also slap bang in the middle of my 'fertile' window so this has all been great timing!
