Frequently Asked Questions
What is Fertility Coaching?
At its heart, coaching is about helping clients to become creators of possible. You are the expert on you. The curiosity, intuition, and provoking conversation of the coaching alliance will help you to unlock your potential and talent. Fertility Coaching focusses on helping you navigate your fertility journey, understand the information given to you and make important decisions. I have a holistic approach to supporting you in lifestyle change, discussing your personal circumstances and applying what science suggests is your best way forward, while staying on your agenda. As your coach I hold your hand, cheer you on, listen to your needs and support you on your personal journey.

What is special about Maia Fertility Coaching?
Having a background in midwifery means I not only understand the impact lifestyle choices have on your fertility journey and conception, but also long term on your pregnancy, postnatal period and newborn baby. I have an extensive knowledge on women’s health, menstrual cycles, conception, pregnancy, birth and postnatal period, as well as mental health, nutrition, exercise, sleep, and understanding research. Having worked within the health care system for many years, I know how to navigate this and can help you understand referral pathways, eligibility criteria and more.
Why should I engage you as a fertility coach?
As a certified health coach I am trained to support you in behaviour change. Think back to a time you tried to implement changes, maybe you tried to lose weight. Initially you went really well but eventually things started to slide and all the motivation you had initially got lost. The changes you intended to be long term, ended up being short term. As your fertility coach I can help you make your short term changes become life-long habits, understand why these matter to you and how to achieve this. You are in control of deciding which changes you want to implement and I help you make it happen, taking into account all aspects of your lifestyle, rather than leaving you with a standardised plan to follow.
I am not sure if coaching is the right thing for me, what should I do?
Book in a free, no-obligation, 30-minute chat. You get to experience coaching first hand and we can discuss how coaching would benefit you moving forward. All coaching packages have a 14-day money back guarantee, no questions asked, so you can enjoy coaching risk-free.
Where does the coaching take place?
I coach exclusively via the platform Zoom. Once your appointment has been booked, you will receive an email with the details of your Zoom Meeting, including a link to your personal meeting.
I am not very good with technology, is that a problem?
Absolutely not. I know technology can be tricky to navigate but I promise using Zoom is as easy as using your phone. Simply download the desktop application, or phone app, click the link sent to you in an email and you are good to go. Please ensure you give permission for camera and microphone use. Still not convinced? Let’s organise a phone call and I will talk you through it.
Do you offer payment plans?
Absolutely, please contact me to discuss.
