Louise Crooks is Life and Small Business Coach. One of her specialties is coaching individuals who are going through the struggle and challenges of infertility.  Her mission is to assist them in creating a life for themselves that helps to create support and balance while facing all the challenges and choices that come as one moves down that unique path of experience.  The decision making process as well as any treatments a woman or couple might take during this journey, can be confusing, as well as often a bit of a ‘black hole’  – not knowing all the alternatives and treatments that are available.  Having experienced this personally, Louise also recognises that the experience can be isolating, often when the people around you don’t necessarily understand what you are going through.   It is also often the first crisis married couples come up against where there is really no control over the outcome.   Through this site Louise is really wanting to connect with people starting or who are already on this path, and give them as much support as possible to lead a life full of joy and balance no matter the outcome of their infertility experience.  She will also help to guide and propose different alternatives that might not even have been considered, from a purely objective view. She also would like to share how this ’adventure’  doesn’t define who you are, which often can become all consuming!  Ultimately she is ‘the sofa you can fall into to feel comforted and reassured’ while on this exciting but often challenging journey.

This site will provide a place to share stories, ask questions, get support in a safe place of understanding and compassion, as well as a source for information on the topic of infertility, miscarriage, treatments etc.
