Natural fertility researcher, author, and mother — sharing exactly what I did to conceive naturally at 41, after two miscarriages, with no IVF.
I'm not a doctor. I'm not a clinician. I'm a woman who sat exactly where you might be sitting right now — and I found a way through.
In 2004, at 35 years old, I got married and we decided to start our family right away. What followed was nothing like I expected. Fibroids I'd never heard of. Two miscarriages within the same devastating year — the first a twin pregnancy lost in February 2008, the second that November. A surgery scheduled and cancelled, not once but three times.
After the second loss, I made a decision that changed the entire direction of my life. I declined the surgery my doctors had recommended, and instead gave myself a year to find another way. I researched obsessively — natural fertility, herbal medicine, cycle charting, the preparation of the body for conception. My husband would tell you I became a woman completely consumed by it.
In 2009, my husband agreed to complete a 28-day detox alongside me — the first time this became something we were doing together, not something I was carrying alone. Five months later, my basal body temperature chart told me what a pregnancy test would soon confirm. On September 7th, 2010, I gave birth to a healthy baby boy. I was 42. I had conceived at 41. There was no IVF. There was no surgery.
Everything I learned during that year — the charting methods, the herbal protocols, the couples detox, the mindset shifts — is what became Prepared to Conceive™. I built this because I needed it and couldn't find it all in one place. I'm sharing it because I believe it can help you too.

I remember exactly what it felt like to be told my options were limited. I remember the isolation of carrying this mostly alone, and the exhaustion of researching late at night looking for something — anything — nobody had told me yet. I do this work so that the woman reading this right now doesn't have to spend a year finding what I've already put in one place. You are not alone in this. And it may not be too late.
