COACH, AUTHOR, MOM
AND SPEAKER
I am a tropical girl, I was born and raised in Jamaica. I packed my bags
and moved to a ‘COLD’ country Canada at age 34. I was a single girl
on a mission.
Like most of you, I had the perfect plan for my life. Even though I knew that all things work in God’s timing, I still had my own plans. I needed to find myself a dream husband, which I did then I was going to have my dream wedding, which I did and next was I needed to have one or two babies right away. My biological clock was ticking.
I was sure that the first month of trying to conceive that it would happen, but it didn’t for the first try nor the second. In fact it didn’t happen in the first year.
I sought professional and medical intervention from two Fertility clinics.
My journey felt like forever, 3 miscarriages, 1 ectopic pregnancy, failed clomid cycles, 2 fertility clinics to being diagnosed with '“unexplained infertility.” Doctors told me that my only chance of becoming a mommy was by IVF. I was not ready for IVF emotionally neither was I financially. It was pretty depressing, it was hopeless actually.
I quickly turned to google for answers and when I became exhausted and overwhelmed, I invested aggressively in self help books, sisterhood support groups and in life coaches.
Through this whole process of relearning, I discovered some powerful things about me, who I was and and how I was showing up to the outer world. I made a decision to focus less on what the statistics said that 1 in 6 women will be diagnosed with infertility, I drifted further away from the medical interventions and instead focus my energy on my emotional, mental and spiritual well being which was being missed all along my journey. I tapped into the mindset tools from my coaches and mentors, did the work and reaffirmed that I would be a mom. Before long I found myself coaching my colleagues, friends and other of how to be their best selves. I literally became an overnight coach and I loved the feeling of fulfillment of self and feedback from other women.
SOME OF MY FAV AFFIRMATIONS
Today, I am the proud wife to Roger and mom to my five year old Faith. My infertility journey has led me to this incredible place of love and and confidence. It has opened my eyes to a world of women who are suffering in silence and need to be supported. My life’s mission is to remove the stigma, to provide the education for women to feel supported and process the roller coaster of emotions,-guilt, shame, fear, anger, frustration and to provide a safe space and community for women to share more and learn from each other.
I am not a fertility coach, who focuses on the physical things you can do to enhance your chances of conception, I am an infertility coach, meaning your doctor have diagnosed you as infertile, and you refuse to accept that as your fate (like I did) and is determined to keep your faith and your mind strong as you set out to prove them wrong.
