Sandy Christiansen

I’m Sandy, an embryologist using my background and scientific expertise to offer a unique insight to fertility coaching.

I started my career working as an embryologist in Sweden, and moved to London to continue to development my skillset and grow as an embryologist. I’ve worked both in private units on Harley Street and a large NHS funded IVF clinic. Working in multiple clinics has enabled me to become a highly skilled embryologist, but it has also opened my eyes to how different every clinic is, and how subsequently – every patient experience is different. Working in smaller clinics enabled me to have a closer patient contact and made me realise that there is a large variance in patient support, and sometimes a very large gap in treatment.

The process of trying to achieve a pregnancy can be so overwhelming. Patients going through fertility challenges have expressed feelings of depression and isolation. IVF in itself is psychologically and emotionally stressful, with the constant fear and threat of permanent infertility and loss of hope. There are so many scientific papers referencing these exact emotions and struggles, and yet in most cases there’s little support offered alongside reproductive treatment. That’s what’s led me to become a fertility coach.

My extensive IVF and fertility knowledge enables me to be your mentor during any reproductive treatment. I’m your dedicated coach with answers to any questions on your fertility journey, whether you’re struggling to understand what’s going on during your treatment, or the confusing terminology, or help in interpreting results – I’m your person.

Fertility coaching also gives you the opportunity to focus exclusively on yourself, in a safe and confidential environment. It’s a personalised service that is tailored to you and your needs, and no client nor session is the ever the same. We discuss your background and fertility history, and help you understand your own body better. We can discuss your lifestyle and create a bespoke plan if you need to make any adjustments to increase your chances of achieving a pregnancy. We can work through anxieties and emotions that could be negatively affecting your life and try to restore balance, so you can regain confidence and increase your wellbeing. We can help prepare you and your body for IVF so you’re giving it the absolute best chance of working. We can discuss any hardships you’ve had when going through previous IVF cycles and work out your next steps. Together. If you’ve been struggling to conceive or going through IVF and this sounds like something you may need, get in touch.
