PRECONCEPTION WELLNESS CARE IS MORE THAN IMPROVING FERTILITY.
The aim of fertility wellness is better fertility and changing the trajectory of your family's health and wellbeing for life.
Your greatest opportunity to make a difference in your baby’s health is to better the environment in which they will develop and grow.
Often by the time many women discover they are pregnant, the baby already has a heartbeat and is developing vital organs. These early weeks represent very important months of life developmentally and when the foetus is most susceptible to risks.
It is in these crucial periods in conception and early pregnancy while in your uterus that they are very sensitive to environmental exposure and nutritional deficiencies.
Health in adult life, in reality, starts with nutrition in the womb. The food you eat before and during pregnancy, and how you feed your child in the first three years after birth, can protect the child against diseases such as a heart attack, a stroke, or diabetes in later life.
You have the greatest potential to reduce risks before conception, with the right fertility wellness care.
Your goal is to decrease toxins and reach optimal nutrition well before your baby arrives in the womb, ideally before sperm are made and your eggs begin to mature. This means getting your body baby-ready several months before you want to conceive.
You can do this by incorporating a tailored fertility program, with a healthy diet and balanced lifestyle now. Working to improve your wellbeing in key areas that science has shown to have a positive effect on your fertility.

Ileana is a wonderful woman who I trust implicitly. I couldn’t recommend a more empathetic and compassionate person who approaches families undergoing such personal difficulties with professionalism, good nature and humour, than Ileana. The way Ileana relates to people is second to none. Having worked together at Prince Henry's Institute of Medical Research, I know she understands fertility, having been involved in reproductive endocrinology for over 15 years. But she truly comes into her own with her people skills. I couldn’t recommend her enough.

PRECONCEPTION wellness CARE - Let's Start with Science
Reproductive technologies have helped many couples have a baby, but
That’s not all that modern science has to offer, the amount of evidence on the importance of a healthy lifestyle on fertility and health outcomes continues to grow.
While we might be limited in how much we can change when it comes to hereditary factors, what you do have some control over is sperm health, supporting egg maturation, and creating a more welcoming womb environment for sperm and the fertilised egg to implant.
Unhealthy lifestyle habits reduce your fertility by damaging sperm DNA and creating less favourable conditions in your uterus for implantation. However, a healthy lifestyle is associated with enhanced fertility and health outcomes, regardless of whether conception occurs naturally or in vitro, like in IVF.
Positive lifestyle habits improve your chances of:
Getting pregnant
Having a healthier pregnancy
Carrying your baby to term
Having a healthy baby
Recovery after birth
Changing your lifestyle habits is the perfect place to start, especially for older couples, unexplained infertility, and those wanting the best health outcomes for their babies. For some couples, these modifications will have made enough impact to not need further treatments.
SCIENCE
Empowered Conception’s Preconception Care Programs have been developed from evidence-based findings across a range of disciplines. I've created the Pillars of Fertility wellbeing to help you integrate them into your life.
STRATEGY
I translate science and wellness principles into actionable steps in your life to improve your fertility. I will provide couples with tools and strategies to both nurture you and your fertility.
SUPPORT
I will hold space for you, so you feel heard and validated. I will encourage and motivate you when you need it with emotional support and coaching. The support you need when you need it.
