After years of working as a nutritionist and personal trainer, she felt ready to pursue motherhood at 40. At 41, a severe concussion significantly affected her hormones, and five months later she was told she was no longer fertile and might be facing early menopause. After exploring fertility treatments, including IVF, Rebecca chose to focus on natural fertility and spent a year holistically preparing her body for pregnancy. She went on to conceive naturally at 43 and deliver a healthy baby at 44, then conceived and gave birth again at age 46. Today, Rebecca combines her professional background with her personal fertility journey to educate and support women who are navigating fertility and motherhood after 40.
