About Heather

Hi, I’m Heather —
The Fertility Midwife and founder of My Holistic Fertility

Most people expect me to have entered this work because of my own fertility struggles.
But my story is different — and it’s exactly why I built the practice I did.

I didn’t struggle to conceive — and I say that with a lot of gratitude, and a lot of awareness. I know if you’re reading this would give anything to have a healthy pregnancy. The only reason I mention my pregnancies here is because that’s where my journey into this work really began.

While getting pregnant came easily, what followed was anything but.
It was the experience of pregnancy — lonely, unsupported, and full of struggle — that became the catalyst for everything I do now.

At 22, I was living in Spain, in an abusive relationship, with no family nearby and no support.
I didn’t speak the language. I didn’t have access to the internet.
And I certainly didn’t have anyone to guide or advocate for me.

I was completely alone — isolated, afraid, and suffering from antenatal depression long before I even knew what that was.

Two years later, I became pregnant again. It was a physically and emotionally difficult pregnancy, with threatened miscarriage and being coerced into a birth I didn’t want. I know how fortunate I was to conceive — and I never take that for granted — but I went through it unsupported, alone, and unheard.

Shortly after, my best friend lost her newborn son due to negligent care during childbirth. She nearly lost her life too — and had to undergo a hysterectomy, ending her chance to have more children.
That loss — added onto my own experiences — became my turning point.

As a single mum with two young kids, I moved back to the UK and retrained as a midwife (which was the hardest thing I’ve ever done!), determined to become the kind of support I never had. But working as an NHS community midwife, I saw the cracks in the system up close — the gaps between appointments, the lack of continuity, the emotional toll of being passed from person to person with no one connecting the dots.

So I built what was missing:
A single, continuous thread of care.

Where every part of your story is held.
Where no symptom is dismissed.
Where clinical evidence and emotional safety are treated with equal weight.

Alongside my midwifery work, I went on to train as a nutritionist, reflexologist, life coach, and fertility awareness mentor — and, thanks to a healthy dose of imposter syndrome, I added quite a few more courses in women’s health, pregnancy, and fertility along the way.

Working with me, you get the knowledge, the tools, and the 16+ years of experience I’ve gained.

But the real difference isn’t what I know.
It’s how I use it — and why.

I support:

The women who’ve been told “everything looks normal” — when they know it isn’t.
The couples who’ve been told to “just try again” — without clarity, answers, or a plan.
The ones doing all the right things — and still feel stuck.

My clients choose to work with me because they’re tired of being passed between clinics.
Tired of repeating their story.
Tired of not being listened to.

They want clarity, care, and clinical intelligence — all in one place.
Someone who sees the full picture and knows how to act on it.
Someone who isn’t afraid to say:
“I don’t know — but I’ll find out.”

That’s the promise I make to every client:
If you’re trusting me with your fertility, I will not guess.

If You’re Here, I Want You to Know:

You’re not behind.
You’re not broken.
And you’re definitely not alone.

You don’t need more noise.
You need someone who can listen deeply, map what matters, and guide you with skill, care, and strategy.

If that’s what you’ve been looking for —
I’d love to hear from you.

Just in case being a midwife wasn’t enough, here’s a list of some of qualifications I gathered while trying to convince my imposter syndrome that I do actually know enough.

Awards

Prestige Award 2024/25

Fertility Therapist of the Year for Central England

“I had a lovely experience with my fertility reflexology sessions. It helped me to relax and lose a lot of the stresses I was feeling when going through my fertility treatment. I always left feeling relaxed. I had three failed transfers before I decided to take the sessions with Heather, and I am now pregnant with twins. I had lots of thoughts about what I should and shouldn’t be doing. Heather gave me answers to all those questions and doubts which helped me so much. I would 100% recommend”.

Jade

“I was recommended to Heather after a failed IVF cycle which I had alongside acupuncture. Heather was great from the very first consultation, she helped immensely with my stress management, she guided me through my infertility journey and has been amazing. The result is that I am now pregnant, and I am really grateful to reflexology in the hands of Heather. I strongly recommend her to others trying to conceive as she has a wealth of knowledge and experience and is brilliant, Thank you so much”.

Rebecca

“”My wife came to Heather as she came highly recommended, she is professional friendly and gives great advice. She has now become someone my wife can confined in. She has years of experience as a midwife and me and my wife have found her so amazing whenever we needed advice”.

Matthew & Leigh

“So thankful to the lovely Heather for all her advice and help while trying to get pregnant. I saw her for 6 sessions of fertility reflexology, and I’m delighted to say I’m now 7 weeks pregnant. The treatments were tailored to my cycle and I found the whole process fascinating and very interesting. I had never had any form of holistic treatment prior to this. Heather is so knowledgeable; giving me diet and lifestyle advice to help me along the way. I can thoroughly recommend her”.

Rachel

“Heather is very knowledgeable and as an experienced midwife, I felt I could really trust her advice and guidance. She also has a lovely and calming nature and answered every question I had with patience.”

Gurdish

“I find moxibustion treatments energising yet relaxing. I have noticed significant improvements in my menstrual cycle and already and find the advice and support Heather gives amazing. I feel so much better about my fertility since starting treatments”.

After two failed IVF cycles we knew we wanted to feel more prepared both physically and mentally before moving forward again. My husband had previously met Heather at a networking event and kept hold of her details and reaching out to her turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. From the very first contact through to our face to face sessions there was a real sense of positivity and a calm reassuring aura. We immediately felt at ease and confident that we were in the right hands. Heather guided us through the Conceive Programme with regular check ins and ongoing encouragement and unwavering support. She shared so many practical and insightful tips that were things we had not done in our previous cycles and were simple to incorporate into our daily lives. It was empowering to feel that even the smallest changes were genuinely making a difference to our bodies. The mindfulness sessions were also incredibly beneficial for both of us helping us feel more grounded supported and emotionally prepared for the journey ahead. We truly cannot thank Heather enough for her patience kindness and dedication throughout the programme. We felt listened to supported and cared for every step of the way and we would recommend the programme to anyone wanting fertility support.

When we reached out to Heather, we were both in our mid - late thirties and ever mindful of our fertility health. We weren’t sure if we wanted to have children, but felt the panic of the biological clock and wanted to ensure that we were in the best place we could be health wise to support us on whatever journey we chose. I already had a good understanding of my cycle, something I had been closely monitoring and documenting for over a year, but felt that something wasn’t quite right as I’d noticed some inconsistencies. Heather understood our concerns and tentatively guided us with diet choices providing us with an easy to understand action plan. Her suggestions were easy to implement. Heather interpreted blood test results and various other tests and advised us what vitamins were necessary to support our journey and ensure that we were both in optimum health for conception. We both needed to take steps to enhance our reproductive health and so Heather recommended specific vitamins from specific companies; her advice always felt well researched and very clear. We soon decided that we did want to try and conceive. Heather continued to guide us through this, monitoring my monthly cycle charts and checking in with words of support. It was so reassuring to be able to speak to someone with such an in-depth understanding of fertility and conception. It was such a wobbly time finding out each month that we hadn’t been fortunate enough to conceive and each month being thrown back into a complicated head space of do we don’t we continue, we were so grateful to have Heathers support - her understanding of what we were experiencing so superior to any support that we received at our GP surgery. This support continued when we found out that I was pregnant. Heather continued to advise us on how to maintain a healthy pregnancy and was available to answer any questions that came up, her vast knowledge due to her range of qualifications as a midwife, reflexologist and nutritionist - and of course being a mother herself all contributed to us feeling held and strong throughout my pregnancy. We have no doubt that all of this shared knowledge contributed to me experiencing a beautiful and empowered home birth without any intervention. We are so grateful for so many things, don’t hesitate in seeking support from Heather, she is a person of extraordinary and comprehensive knowledge and a sound source of support for your fertility journey.

Heather is amazing - so kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. From our very first chat, we felt completely at ease and supported. She always takes the time to explain everything clearly and goes out of her way to make sure you have the best experience. Before finding Heather, we felt stuck and overwhelmed, but she helped us uncover the root cause of our fertility issues and guided us through the right tests and next steps. She also tailored a supplement and nutrition plan to help us be the healthiest we’ve ever been. Since working with her, we’ve felt such a huge positive transformation - physically and emotionally. We finally feel hopeful and in control of our journey. We honestly can’t thank Heather enough and would 100% recommend My Holistic Fertility to anyone trying to conceive.

Thank goodness we found Heather. I cannot recommend her services enough. Anyone who is struggling to conceive knows how lonely the process feels. It's so frustrating; you simply can't get in front of a medical professional to discuss your options. Heather removed this barrier. She discussed every aspect of our journey with us whilst supporting us with the complex emotions you face when trying to conceive. If it wasn't for Heather, we wouldn't have discovered the root cause of our infertility. She supported us with tests and recommendations and was able to interpret these results and break down what they meant for us. She guided us to specialist doctors and helped us to navigate this difficult and often confusing journey. Alongside this, she tailored our supplement plan and assisted with our diets to make sure we're the healthiest versions of ourselves. We're so grateful for all she's done to support us. I cannot recommend her enough.

A Life-Changing Experience with Heather at My Holistic Before discovering Heather, we had endured the unimaginable pain of five consecutive missed miscarriages. Each loss left us more heartbroken and confused, and despite undergoing extensive testing with the NHS and even visiting a recurrent miscarriage clinic, we were left with no clear answers. The only advice we consistently received was to “keep trying” and that “it will happen next time.” Deep down, we knew something wasn’t right. We couldn’t continue down the same path, emotionally exhausted and out of hope. In a moment of desperation, I came across My Holistic while frantically searching online for alternative support—specifically whether reflexology might help reduce miscarriage risk due to stress. On a whim, I decided to message Heather, and looking back, it was truly the turning point in our fertility journey. From our very first consultation, Heather offered something we hadn’t experienced in years of appointments and clinical visits: genuine empathy, deep knowledge, and a listening ear. For the first time, we felt seen and heard. She didn’t dismiss our concerns or offer vague reassurances—she validated our experiences and approached our situation with compassion and clarity. Heather put together a personalised plan that included targeted testing, nutritional support, and supplements, all tailored to our specific circumstances. Over the course of three months, her guidance was nothing short of transformative. She connected us with specialists who finally provided answers to the questions we had been asking for over two years. Although we are still on our TTC journey, Heather has helped us find renewed hope, confidence, and emotional strength. We feel more empowered and informed than ever before. Her knowledge of fertility and holistic wellness is exceptional, but what truly sets her apart is her warmth and the sincere care she shows. We cannot recommend Heather highly enough. Working with her has been the most impactful decision we’ve made, and we are endlessly grateful for her support.

Heather’s services have been truly transformational. We reached out to her after nearly 18 months of trying to conceive. I had undergone some basic tests, and then my partner’s semen analysis came back abnormal. I was feeling incredibly low, losing hope, and unsure where to turn - especially as my BMI is significantly above the threshold for IVF, making it feel like an impossible and last-resort option. From our very first consultation, Heather put me at ease. I felt so heard and validated that I cried tears of relief (and I never cry in front of anyone!). Through her coaching programme, she methodically guided us through various tests, helping us narrow down the root causes of our struggles. One major focus was addressing our vitamin levels. I was nervous about making dietary changes due to my complicated relationship with food, but Heather handled this with such understanding that, a few months on, I’m amazed at the foods I’ve now incorporated into my diet. She also supported me in being kinder to myself about my weight and never made me feel as though it was the sole reason for our fertility challenges. While we haven’t yet conceived, I now have clarity on where to focus our efforts and feel cautiously hopeful. Before working with Heather, I felt consumed by the pain and pressure of TTC, but she pulled me out of that dark space. I feel healthier, happier, and have regained the mental space to think about other areas of my life rather than endlessly scrolling online and being self-critical. I’ve also been having ReproReflexology with Heather, something I initially knew nothing about but remained open-minded to. I’ve been amazed at how much it has helped me mentally, and I’ve even seen improvements in my luteal phase. If you feel consumed by trying to conceive and aren’t ready or able to pursue assisted conception, I can’t recommend Heather enough, I only wish we had reached out sooner rather than waiting until desperation. I don’t know what the future holds for our fertility, but I now feel we are in a much stronger position. And if we do need to go down the assisted route, I’m confident that the investment we’ve made in Heather’s guidance has given us the best possible foundation for success.

I have been going for treatment since November and still going, this has made a massive difference to my life. Struggling with Fertility last few years has been an upsetting time. But recently having treatment, making a change in my diet and exercising more frequently. Has made an massive improvement on my mental health. Recently I got a bloods through Heather and finding out what I am lacking on had shocked me, something so small. Also I never knew you wasn't meant to have period pains but wow how the treatment have reduced my days but also having a healthy period too. I would recommend Heather and her knowledge to anyone. Absolutely brilliant and what a change to my life. Thank you
