Always a lovely way to start a week. Monday cuddles with babies I’ve helped bring into the world 🥰👶

Always a little bit special meeting my tiny patients and watching them grow up… and today’s mission? Time to make you a baby brother or sister! 🤍

Back to work we go! ✨

🌸 The last day of winter… and spring is here! Bring on the longer days of glorious sunshine ☀️

A beautiful hatching embryo transferred today — a tiny beginning as we welcome the start of a new season. ✨

Wishing all my patients going through their fertility journey the very best of luck. Here’s to new beginnings and a little spring magic. 🤍

Beautiful winter sunshine, great conversations, and a lunchtime spent catching up with local GPs to chat about all things gynaecology and fertility. Collaboration and communication between specialists and GPs are so important in helping patients receive the best possible care.

Sunday morning embryo transfers ☀️🧫

Fertility doesn’t follow a Monday-to-Friday schedule, and neither do IVF clinics.

Embryo transfers are timed according to embryo development and ovarian response, not the calendar. Sometimes that means an early start on a Sunday morning.

A big shout-out to our incredible embryology team, who work behind the scenes to ensure every embryo is given the best possible chance, and to my colleagues spending their Sunday doing transfers too. Special thanks this morning to Embryologist extraordinaire Dimitri and Dr Nicola Fitzgerald ☺️

A thought-provoking lunchtime session today at FSANZ 2026 exploring the psychosocial impacts of fertility treatment and what happens when the outcome doesn’t match a patient’s expectations.

Fertility treatment can be an emotional rollercoaster, and when things don’t go to plan, patients can often turn that disappointment inward — questioning what they did wrong, blaming themselves, or feeling that somehow their body has failed them.

As clinicians, it’s so important that we recognise the emotional impact alongside the medical journey. Success isn’t always within a patient’s control, and neither are many of the factors that influence an outcome.

Sometimes, the most important thing we can do is listen, validate, provide realistic expectations and remind our patients: this is not your fault. 🤍

Continuing to learn how we can better support our patients through every part of their fertility journey.

Three days of fertility-focused learning at the FSANZ Annual Conference in Canberra has begun.

A valuable opportunity to connect with colleagues across the fertility sector, bringing together doctors, scientists, nurses and allied health professionals from across Australia and New Zealand.

From the latest research and emerging technologies to evolving approaches in reproductive medicine, conferences like this are an important part of continuing to learn and improve the care we provide to our patients.

Proud to be part of a field that continues to evolve, innovate and strive for better outcomes for those on their fertility journey.

Today we celebrate the science, the hope and the incredible people behind every IVF journey. 💙🧬

On World IVF Day and World Embryologist Day, we recognise the remarkable advances in assisted reproduction that have helped millions of people around the world build their families.

Behind every egg pick up, embryo transfer, pregnancy test and scan is a dedicated team. Today, I especially want to thank our incredible embryologists—the skilled scientists who care for eggs, s***m and embryos with extraordinary precision, expertise and compassion. Their work often happens behind the scenes, but it changes lives every single day City Fertility | Global Leader in IVF & Fertility Care

To my patients, thank you for trusting us with your journey. Your strength and resilience continue to inspire me.

Here’s to science, teamwork, hope and the families we’ve helped create—and those still to come. 💙

Sometimes the best thing you can do is take a break, recharge and come back refreshed.

It may only be 10°C, but the sun is shining, and the beach will always be my happy place. 🌊☀️

A big thank you to my wonderful colleagues for taking such great care of my patients while I’m away. I’ll be back next week, refreshed and looking forward to seeing you all.

To the lovely people I have the privilege of spending my days with… thank you. ❤️

I get to share in some of life’s biggest moments—the tears, the hugs, the hope, the waiting, and the celebrations. It is a privilege I never take for granted.

Every positive pregnancy test, every heartbeat, every milestone, and every baby is a reminder of why I jump out of bed on a wintery Melbourne morning! Congratulations to all of my patients reaching milestones big and small. Whether you’re celebrating today or still waiting for your moment, I’m cheering you on every step of the way.

Thank you for trusting me to be part of your journey City Fertility | Global Leader in IVF & Fertility Care . 💕🌈
