She has many years experience of working within the NHS but is also a qualified Naturopath with experience in alternative therapies that can be used to enhance or assist fertility. Jane believes that if couples can understand natural fertility and how to enhance conception chances, they can regain some control over their bodies to reduce the feelings of frustration and anxiousness when trying for a baby. This could lead on to a natural pregnancy, but if not, then medically assisted infertility treatments can be discussed and investigated.
