Your Fertility Journey Deserves Someone Who Gets It. Here’s Why I Do

About me

Hi I’m Jemma, and I’m an expert fertility dietitian.

When I began my own IVF journey, I was shocked by how confusing the world of fertility nutrition really was.
Everywhere I looked, people were cutting out food groups, taking handfuls of supplements, and following advice that promised miracles but often did more harm than good.

I remember sitting there, scrolling late at night, wondering why it had to feel this complicated. Even as a dietitian with almost 20 years experience I felt lost - which told me that something was seriously missing for couples everywhere.

I knew the right nutrition, introduced early, could make a real difference to egg and sperm health, but the guidance out there was either vague, fear-based, or completely contradictory.


And I couldn’t ignore that gap any longer.

​So I set out to change things.​

​

I started digging. Research papers. Specialist courses. International experts.
I trained with Melanie McGrice and the Early Life Nutrition Alliance, becoming one of the first Irish dietitians to complete advanced fertility nutrition training.
And from that moment, everything shifted.

​

I left my old career behind and pivoted to pour my energy into helping others prepare for IVF.
In 2022, my business Nourish My Fertility was born.

​

Now, I help couples preparing for IVF feel confident about what they’re eating and why, giving themselves the very best chances of conceiving.
My work is all about making this easy for you at an already stressful time. A personalised plan that fits around real life, not the other way around.

​

  • It’s for the woman sitting in her car after another appointment, wondering if she’s doing enough.

  • It’s for the couple too tired to cook from scratch but desperate to do something that helps.

  • It’s for the one who’s read every fertility book yet still feels lost about what actually makes a difference.

 

Because you don’t need another ‘diet’.
You need someone who understands the science and the struggle, who can guide you through it with honesty, warmth, and simplicity supporting your next chapter.
