THE SEARCH

Just because it hasn’t been explained doesn’t mean it’s unexplainable

FERTILITY ASSESSMENT
You thought you could trust the specialists. After all, helping you have a baby is their job, right? But either they’ve given little to no guidance on how to increase your chances of conceiving, sold you on a dream then gave up, or shrugged when you suggest investigating further…

The thing is:

If you’re trying to have a baby, but:

  • You’re not getting pregnant
  • IVF or IUI rounds aren’t successful
  • Have lost sight of a healthy pregnancy or baby
  • You’ve experienced unexplained pregnancy loss
  • Your partner doesn’t ‘get’ the importance of healthy sperm
  • You’ve received an ‘unexplained infertility’ diagnosis
  • No one is taking the male infertility factor seriously 
  • Test results come back clear, so no one’s investigating
  • You’re frustrated and disappointed in the medical system
  • Natural treatments aren’t delivering progress
  • The medical system has stopped seeking answers
  • You feel utterly overwhelmed navigating fertility alone
  • You have a sense something’s wrong and no one’s listening

You’re in the exact right place.

Do you feel out of control in your story?

If you’re really honest with yourself, I can imagine this whole process has taken a massive toll on your mental health. Your sense of self. Potentially your relationship. It definitely doesn’t help that around every corner is another pregnant person or newborn in a pram… it feels unfair.

The constant ‘unknown’ – when will things happen for us? The thought of conceiving consumes you. And if you’re doing IVF, you’re sick of putting your life on hold around the next collection or transfer. 

Slowly (quietly) you’ve pulled back from things you used to enjoy and become a shell of yourself. 

The thing is:

It’s not from lack of trying

Actually, you’ve tried to no end. It started with reducing caffeine and changing your exercise habits. Then a naturopath recommended some herbal remedies and supplements so you added those in too.
But somewhere between booking in to see a psychologist and tracking fertile windows, you craved more answers. So you began tracking basal body temperature, then cervical mucus. Then you underwent hormone blood tests, maybe semen analysis, even the incredibly intense surgery of a laparoscopy (or multiple).
…Which may have led to IVF or IUI (people brush over this so quickly, but intense injections, mood-altering hormone levels, timing everything perfectly and going under for egg retrieval – doing everything right, to come back negative is truly gut-wrenching). Then again and again and trying harder. And relaxing more and sobbing into implantation fries…

What if conceiving wasn’t about doing more

It was about surrendering to your inner knowing:

to do less. 

Backed by the latest fertility research. Grounded in ancient wisdom. And tailored to your exact biochemistry. By running new wave fertility tests that delve beyond the surface.

And genuinely go out looking for the cause of your unsuccessful attempts, to specifically treat them and remain your constant along the way.

Instead, your next chapter could look like

Real answers to act on and help increase your chance of conceiving

Uncommon tests that can reveal new insights to shape your next steps

Renewed hope and a genuine sense of direction

Feeling held by a dedicated guide who’s deeply informed on the latest research, leading techniques and fertility for the real world

Genuine relief that you have access to 14 years of fertility care experience, so you can skip the endless Googling and tap into reliable data

Support in navigating medical treatments with the goal of a healthy pregnancy, child and family in mind

Hi, I’m Paige

FERTILITY WAYFINDER | QUALIFIED FERTILITY ACUPUNCTURIST | MOTHER | LIFELONG SEEKER

I have 14 years experience explaining unexplained infertility, then treating the cause for family wellbeing. 

If you’re like most of my fertility clients, then chances are the dismissive medical system, fertility system or even natural medicine system has left you feeling completely defeated and absolutely overwhelmed. 

I get it, because when I was trying to fall pregnant after 10 years of not not trying, I was riding solo. In forums and asking friends, Googling late at night and having to advocate for myself.

I so wished I’d had that person who knew what pieces went together, to explain my whole picture then tell me what to do next. 

Today, it would be my privilege to be that person for you.

“IN NATURE, NOTHING EXISTS ALONE”

To me, there’s no such thing as unexplained infertility, just unexplored. It would be my privilege to guide your next chapter.

FAQs

Yes. This is where my investigative approach is most valuable. 

Through The Search, we conduct thorough testing, review your history in detail and work to explain what has previously gone unexplained. 

We don’t accept unknown as a final answer.

I totally get this sentiment. You’re committed to your fertility journey and the idea of stopping what you’re doing feels, in a way, like giving up. Trust me when I say this, you’re not alone in feeling like this. 

In Chinese Medicine it’s believed that healing happens in rhythm, not rush. 

This slower pace is unconventional, but combined with actually testing your baselines we’re able to take more accurate next steps that are ultimately created to reach your destination with more precision.

Yes. Unexplained infertility is my area of special interest. Through a combination of advanced testing, Traditional Chinese Medicine and functional medicine, we work to uncover what standard investigations may have missed.

A calm, welcoming environment with a focus on personalised care. Every appointment is unhurried, with no surprise charges. It’s important to me that you know the process from booking through to treatment. And then what your options are should you transcend this phase and move into the next.

Yes, in fact I encourage it. 

As a standard, and when relevant, I investigate both male and female fertility for The Search.

In my professional experience, I continue to see that a complete picture of both partners’ health leads to more informed treatment and better outcomes.

Initial consultations are longer to allow time for a thorough health assessment. They can be two hours for a woman or three hours for a couple including a treatment each. 

Follow up appointments are focused and efficient. Needles are typically left in for 20 to 30 minutes bringing the treatment to 60 minutes total.

This depends entirely on you. Once we’ve reviewed your initial results, I’ll recommend testing unique to your story.

Commonly, this includes comprehensive hormone testing, gut testing, uterine, vaginal and seminal microbiome analysis, mould exposure, inflammation markers and immunological testing.

Nothing is ordered without reason. Each test tells us something the last one couldn’t.

Technically no (but kind of).

Children aren’t invited into clinic appointments (to ensure your safety and a relaxed experience). Though given that I treat both male and female fertility, your partner may also join you. Meaning, you may be able to tag team who is with the child outside of the clinic space, during the appointment. 

There is a cafe downstairs, so you may also choose to bring a friend or grandparent to keep them company while you relax in your treatment.

No referral needed. To get started, book a free 20-minute Connection Call with me (Paige). This will give us a chance to meet, discuss your journey and make sure The Search is right for you. If it’s not, we may point you towards a better fit service, or part ways. No pressure, and no hard feelings.

I’m currently taking bookings one month in advance. 

So, as soon as you’re ready to begin, I encourage you to book a Connection Call, or enquire. The sooner you reach out, the sooner your journey starts. 

The Search may require certain documents or testing to be completed before your first appointment. I’ll guide you through this when you reach out, though this may also require some time. So the sooner, the better.

I recommend avoiding acupuncture on day one of your menstrual cycle. 

From day two onwards is absolutely fine and in fact, supporting a healthy lining from the second day of your period is an important part of the treatment process.

Just yourself and your partner, if applicable. 

When you first reach out, I’ll run through the test results we need (you may have completed some of these already!). If you’re yet to have completed these, I will send you in the right direction. By doing these tests ahead of time, I arrive prepared and our time together is spent on what matters.

Based on years of clinical experience, I know the time it takes to make a real difference. I am not about making false promises, so I feel it’s important to have an idea of what is ahead. 

The Fertility Forecast and The Search both begin with a 16-week treatment plan. I have personally seen that this is the minimum time needed to create significant change in both women’s health and sperm health.

Yes. I work alongside a carefully selected group of trusted practitioners, chosen for sharing similar values.

Fertility is rarely a solo journey, and your care shouldn’t be either.

Awaken the seeker in you.
