I know how emotionally draining and lonely infertility can be. Knowing other people are also going through it can help us feel less alone and more empowered. Please read the stories of some of the brave, courageous, and resilient women I have had the honor to work with.

“Before I started working with Ceire, I struggled with prioritizing and validating the intense feelings that come along with this process. I tried to maintain the mentality of “you’re not special”- meaning that many people go through this process. I had a difficult time giving myself empathy, and kept pushing through without taking a breather and realizing that this is actually incredibly difficult in all aspects of the human experience. I think the biggest “Aha” moment with Ceire was recognizing that I needed to treat myself how I would treat others. Taking the advice I would give someone going through this process was a huge wake up call for me to give myself grace and focus my energy on myself and my intentions rather than the aspects of infertility that are totally out of my control.
I learned to adopt setting intentional goals for myself on a daily or weekly basis to try to fulfill, as to not overwhelm myself by thinking too far ahead. I was skeptical about utilizing mantras at first, but I found them to be very useful after spending more time with Ceire throughout our time working together. Letting go of unrealistic or unobtainable expectations helped me move forward in my current situation and develop a mindset that was more relevant to the news I had been receiving from my fertility team. I would tell anyone considering hiring Ceire as their fertility coach to GO FOR IT! It is an impactful way to help you navigate this complicated process and find support in ways you didn’t know you needed. I had a wonderful experience with Ceire, and it was absolutely the best thing I did for myself to help gain clarity and confidence during my infertility journey. She really helped me feel seen and gave me the reassurance I needed to get through a really trying three months. “

“I believe that in life we meet the right people at the right time. The Universe sent me Ceire at a time of my life that was challenging and difficult. My husband and I were trying to have a baby for about two years and were starting our journey towards the first IVF. Ceire was supporting me and sharing valuable resources throughout my whole IVF journey. She was my mentor when I needed someone to look up to and my friend when I needed a shoulder to cry on. The Mindful IVF app became my go to daily routine and the Self-Care Challenge was a great tool to use during the two-week wait.”

From the moment of my partner’s azoospermia diagnosis, I knew our life would never be the same. How could the ONE thing I was made to become be ripped away from me just like that? I knew I couldn’t do this alone, which is why I took a leap of faith and reached out to Ceire. From the moment of our first call, I knew Ceire would be coming along for the long journey ahead with Davin and me. I initially contacted her because I knew I needed help supporting him, but what I didn’t know was how much I needed the support as well. Throughout the past six months working with Ceire, I have not only learned to set boundaries with people and events that would affect my well-being but learned how to become my own advocate for all of the emotions I was feeling. She has become my first text after every appointment and someone who has inspired me to share our story and help others as well. Because of Ceire, I am more at ease knowing she will provide questions for our doctors and genuinely has our best interests at heart. I can honestly say that Ceire was placed in my life to make me a better partner and a better person. I not only gained a coach but a lifetime friend that I never knew I needed.”

“We had just found out that we needed to start IVF. I had 3 miscarriages before. I was hesitant to hire a fertility coach because it's so outside of my comfort zone, but I am so thankful I did. Ceire has been such a positive aspect of my life and I've learned and grown so much since we first started. She has been a great neutral source to help me view things a bit more level-headed or from other perspectives. She also has helped me realize the importance of self-care and taking better care of myself. Even my husband raves about her and they've never met! She has helped me become even more vocal with advocating for myself. She has encouraged me to do things even when I'm hesitant. It has always been so easy to speak to/with her. I truly feel like I have known her for years. It has been so nice how comfortable I have always felt speaking with her. The most helpful part of working with ceire is the confidence it gave me that I can do this, I can do hard things. I have made more time for myself, started meditation, worked on positive affirmations, and made time for date nights. I would 100% recommend working with Ceire!”

“I started working with Ceire after some health concerns that I can now clearly see manifested from the stress, sadness, and exhaustion that resulted from my fertility journey. While my journey still continues, receiving the gift of Ceire’s curiosity, coaching, and friendship alongside me during the journey was something I will always treasure. I finally felt supported on my journey. I was starting to feel alone and I don’t use those words lightly because I have been supported by friends, family, and a loving husband, but there came a time that I felt like I was isolated and lacking direction for my next best step as if I was draining my resources and relationships. Ceire provided a safe space (and even fun) where I was able to process my journey (IUI, acupuncture, IVF, miscarriage, and a wake-up call from my body to rest) and see all that I had learned and the beautiful blessings along the way. I tried some of the strategies again from an empowered place and it felt like fun instead of work. My biggest revelation over our time together was releasing my control over how my family came together and trusting that my family would come together. I valued my feelings and trusted that my path was individual and meant for me. I wish for you an empowered fertility journey with the gift of Ceire by your side. “

“If you are feeling lonely in infertility and need a helping hand, contact Ceire. She has first-hand experience in this world, so her ability to put herself in your shoes is unparalleled. Ceire is compassionate, kind, encouraging, respectful, and honors your journey to motherhood/parenthood. I would recommend anyone who needs a support system work with Ceire. It will help you get a better grasp of what you are about to go through, how to navigate each step, and gives you a new perspective along the way. The biggest takeaway from our time together was just having someone else who understands the loneliness, the highs, the lows of infertility. It just was a refreshing feeling to have someone in your corner who has not only been through a similar experience but is rooting for you on your good and bad days. Ceire was proactive in finding the tools I needed when I didn't know I needed them. Having someone to share with, vent with, toss ideas around, and really take on some of the stress you feel so you don't have to research more. Thank you for your hard work Ceire.”

“I found out about Ceire from a podcast called Everyday Infertility. I was struggling with infertility (PCOS) for about a year and reached out to Ceire. I was just about to start treatments when we ended up getting pregnant naturally with our little miracle baby while I was seeing Ceire. I learned through working with Ceire, that I’m not in this alone and how strong and beautiful I am and my body is. I would tell anyone considering hiring Ceire to Do it! lol but seriously it was very helpful to talk to someone who could relate but also help me work through my thoughts and emotions. She gave me tools to help me through all of that. So, if you are going through infertility Ceire is someone that can definitely help you get through it. What surprised me the most about working with her was all the tools and techniques she was able to provide. She taught me meditation and breathing techniques, which were so helpful in managing the anxieties of infertility.”

“Going through infertility was the most isolating experience of my life. I felt so alone and struggled to find ways to heal and cope while in the thick of things.
Cerie’s guidance was an immense help during such dark times. I always felt listened to and held by her wisdom. Her mental health and lifestyle suggestions helped me get back to the girl that once was so lost. Her empathy and kindness is so genuine and I’m so thankful to have her along this rollercoaster of a journey. Her support and love meant so much, and I am so thankful to have had her in my corner! “

“I have previously and currently experienced infertility. I struggled to get pregnant with my twins who are now turning 2 and my husband and I have decided to continue on trying to build our family. I have PCOS and have had 2 miscarriages, one before the twins and one after. Not sure what to do, I stumbled on to Ceire’s Instagram page. It was so comforting to feel seen even if it was just over an Instagram. What I learned through my sessions with Ceire was that she was able to help me with not only infertility, but multiple aspects of my life. I loved that she challenged me to tackle small tasks each week to reach bigger goals. She provided me with so many books, podcasts, and helpful resources to help me reach my personal goals and climb out of my isolated and bitter state. She also taught me that there are many ways to keep track of my cycle to avoid the anxiety of the constant ever changing ovulation predictor kits. She even helped me with breathing exercises and journaling to stay calm. Overall I am very thankful that I scheduled those sessions, it was just what I needed to help get through this tough time in my life and gain sight of my goals again.”

“I found Ceire on the “Everyday Infertility” podcast, then started following her on Instagram. At the time, I had been going on almost 2 years of infertility and had just received some tough news about a recent cycle. If you are considering Ceire as your fertility coach – I highly recommend it. She is the best person to have in your corner during the challenging, unfair journey of infertility which can be so hard at times. She listened so well during our calls and wrote me encouraging, detailed messages for whatever I was challenged with that particular week. She taught me really valuable tools on self-care and coping techniques (gratitude journal, daily mantras, tactics to deal with tricky situations like family parties where I may have “trigger” moments). It helped me gain confidence in my journey and to focus on the things I can control. I can’t recommend her enough – thank you Ceire!! “

I began working with Ceire while struggling with infertility. I had been trying naturally for about a year and was unsure about moving forward with IVF initially. While working with Ceire, I had surgery which confirmed an endometriosis diagnosis and a blocked fallopian tube. Once this diagnosis came and with support from Ceire, I was able to comfortably move forward with the IVF process.
After working with Ceire I feel much more educated about my body, more confident to advocate for myself, and more confident in myself.
Having the support from outside my family and from someone who has gone through infertility was something I didn't realized I even needed. I think something that surprised me was that I wasn't expecting to gain so much confidence from working with her. She helped me realize how strong of a person I am and that I can get through more than I realized.
I would tell anyone considering hiring Ceire to do it!! She is an incredibly smart and compassionate person who can help guide you through whichever part of your fertility journey you're on. Having someone to support you and help keep you on track for whatever your goals are is beyond helpful. Infertility is incredibly hard and isolating journey, having someone who has been there walking through it without is irreplaceable. She was an invaluable source of support!

“I would give Ceire a 10/10! I was struggling with IVF uncertainty when we first started working together. After working with Ceire as my fertility coach, I felt grounded and at peace. I would tell anyone considering hiring Ceire to give it a try! She asks thought provoking conversations that will open your mind and allow you to get clear on what you’re looking for. I was surprised with how flexible she was and happy with her excellent follow-through. “
