If 2026 were 2016…
2016 was a year I don’t look back on lightly.
I was pregnant - and living with constant fear after loss.
New city. New practice. New diagnoses -
Low PAPP-A, IUGR, preeclampsia. A tiny baby. Long hospital nights.
Health scares. A car crash. A family cancer diagnosis.
It was a year marked by exceptional challenges - and one extraordinary reason to keep going every single day.
That year made my fertility and cardiovascular health impossible to ignore. It changed how I live. How I practice. How I care.
I was a fertility patient long before I became a fertility ND.
And those experiences became the pathway into the work I do today.
I share this not to trigger, but to remind you:
Hard years can shape resilient futures.
And you don’t have to walk them alone ✨
