Let me guide you as you navigate the next step on your pathway to parenthood.

As a maternal health professional & mother of three children, who created my beautiful family through Fertility Treatment, Fostering, and Adoption, I’ve experienced the anger, fear, heartbreak, overwhelming loneliness, guilt and shame that can accompany you as you battle to become a parent.

I’ve also experienced the immense joy and unbridled love that happens the very moment you hold the child that was destined for you.

I created A Modern Family because I’m passionate about ensuring those struggling to become parents no longer do so in silence, like my husband and I did. It would be my honour to support you on your journey.

You’re Not Alone…

If you’re here, then you are the 1 in 8 who have found themselves on the most challenging pathway to parenthood.

Chances are it has left you desperate, angry, scared and ultimately heartbroken.

Each step taking you further into a deep, dark place that feels impossible to free yourself from.

As someone who has spent 16 long years walking aimlessly, broken and confused, along that very path. I’m here to tell you there is hope.

With the right guide, someone who has walked that path and understands the sustained pain and frustration that it presents, I can assure you the family you so desperately long for is just around the corner.

That is why I’m offering you my hand…
