I started The Journey back in 2017 as I was utterly fed up of the misinformation rife around ttc, fertility, pregnancy and early years development. The internet can be a wonderful thing but it is also a place for lots of rubbish! As a former Investment Banker and stickler for detail, facts and research it was really frustrating.

I also realised that as a result of lack of time and resource for doctors, many of the super exciting pioneering thinking around issues we face today (increasing infertility plus issues in our kids like ADHD, ASD, anxiety and allergies) is simply not out there and available to most people.

So, I got together with a number of pioneering experts spanning everything from male fertility, to the microbiome, to mental health, to neurological health and even to leading pioneers in allergy research Professor Gideon Lack and miscarriage Hassan Shehata to build The Journey. A platform dedicated to delivering the latest pioneering research to help make the journey from conception to early years as healthy as possible.

We curate the latest evidence-based medical research plus insights from pioneering experts and translate it into positive and practical ways to make your journey as healthy and stress free as possible. Whether it’s learning what questions to ask your doctor, which supplements are really worth considering to understanding how to build the best possible foundations for a future baby we have you covered. The internet is a confusing place with lots of misinformation. We focus only on science, research and what the latest medical research suggests really matters to make you smarter. 

We now also offer personalised one on one consultations for a fertility journey: curating all the expertise into one hourly sessions. Our aim is to build the best foundations for a healthy baby and we want to make you smarter and take the stress out of the process.
