In my opi­nion, there is still far too little trans­pa­rency on the topic of unful­filled child wishes – even though the topic is highly re­le­vant to so­ciety. With our portal, we want to edu­cate and help de­stig­ma­tize this dis­cus­sion.

To that, in­fer­ti­lity is often per­ceived as a “wo­men’s issue”, alt­hough the causes of child­less­ness are roughly equally dis­tri­buted bet­ween the sexes. Espe­ci­ally among men, awa­re­ness of this is still ex­tre­mely low.

At Fer­tilly, I am re­spon­sible for pa­tient care, the ma­nage­ment of our partner cli­nics and ever­y­thing con­nected to the ex­pe­ri­ence pa­ti­ents have with us and our part­ners on the path to a ful­filled child wish.

The topic of fer­ti­lity is very close to my heart, as I know how chal­len­ging and emo­tional this journey can be for many people.

At Fer­tilly, I am re­spon­sible for buil­ding and con­ti­nuously im­pro­ving new pro­cesses and struc­tures to sus­tain­ably enhance the pa­tient ex­pe­ri­ence. This is why I focus on de­ve­lo­ping di­gital so­lu­tions that make the en­tire journey simpler, more trans­pa­rent, and more ac­ces­sible for our pa­ti­ents.

My goal is to create a truly sup­portive and po­si­tive tre­at­ment ex­pe­ri­ence th­rough clear pro­cesses, mo­dern tech­no­logy, and a well-de­si­gned overall con­cept.

I have been working with the topic of fer­ti­lity for many years – it ac­com­pa­nies me both pro­fes­sio­nally and per­so­nally, con­ti­nues to in­spire me, and I stay con­ti­nuously up to date on new de­ve­lo­p­ments and best prac­tices.

I un­der­stand how much trust, hope, and un­cer­tainty are part of this journey. This is why I feel a strong re­spon­si­bi­lity to offer our pa­ti­ents an in­for­ma­tion and con­sul­ting ser­vice that is pro­fes­sional, at­ten­tive, em­pa­thetic, and smoothly or­ga­nised.

At Fer­tilly, I work on de­ve­lo­ping struc­tures and pro­cesses that en­sure re­liable sup­port from the first contact th­rough to tre­at­ment. My goal is to create an en­vi­ron­ment in which people feel truly un­ders­tood and well cared for.

Sooner or later, ha­ving a child will be a re­le­vant topic in the life of every person, espe­ci­ally women. Un­fort­u­na­tely, there is not much ge­neral in­for­ma­tion available in case the de­sire to have children is not ful­filled straight away or if it oc­curs at a later point in life. Du­ring my time working in an IVF la­bo­ra­tory, I found that pa­ti­ents were often over­whelmed and ali­en­ated from the amount of in­for­ma­tion that ac­com­pa­nies a tre­at­ment. My goal is to make the topic of IVF ac­ces­sible and un­der­stan­dable for ever­yone so that tre­at­ment can be as stress-free as pos­sible. At Fer­tilly we want to create an at­mo­sphere where you can ask any and all ques­tions, and where not­hing is taboo. I am loo­king for­ward to being able to ac­com­pany pa­ti­ents on this path!

Ha­ving the aspe­ra­tion to be­come a pa­rent, re­gard­less if you’d like to be­come one now, or just give yourself some more time, is the most na­tural part of life. Often in­for­ma­tion of re­pro­duc­tive he­alth and in­fer­til­lity isn’t avai­lible to those who need it the most. I look for­ward to of­fe­ring you a clear un­der­stan­ding about the op­por­tu­ni­ties you have, whe­ther it’s about starting your journey to pa­ren­thood or so­cial free­zing.

My goal at Fer­tilly is to ac­tively sup­port you in your pur­suit and to make in­for­ma­tion about al­ter­na­tive paths to pa­ren­thood more ac­ces­sible to you.
I look for­ward to hea­ring your story and sup­porting you on your journey to whats best for you.

Your de­sire of ha­ving a child de­serves to be heard and to re­ceive at­ten­tion. It is quite normal that the topic of wan­ting children also raises un­cer­tain­ties, espe­ci­ally since it is un­fort­u­na­tely still a matter that is often not talked about freely and openly. Since it can be dif­fi­cult to face this, it is even more im­portant to have a trust­worthy and sup­portive com­pa­nion — both in­for­ma­tive and emo­tional. As a trained psy­cho­lo­gist and coun­selor, I am more than happy to ad­vise you and find an in­di­vi­dual so­lu­tion and ap­proach that is right for you. In doing so, it is espe­ci­ally im­portant to me to sup­port you as your per­sonal ad­visor in the in­for­ma­tion chaos on your per­sonal path. The most im­portant thing is that you feel com­for­table, heard and in good hands with your de­sire to have a baby. I am loo­king for­ward to your contact re­quest and to lear­ning more about you!

An unful­filled child wish can strike an­yone — and to this day it is still talked about far too little. That’s why I write ar­ticles for Fer­tilly that in­form cou­ples and ac­com­pany them on this path. In ad­di­tion, I want to make this topic more ac­ces­sible to the pu­blic th­rough our so­cial media chan­nels.

It took my hus­band and I three years be­fore our big wish came true. Thanks to ICSI, we are now proud par­ents and truly un­der­stand the fee­lings and per­spec­tives of cou­ples with unful­filled child wishes. An­o­ther re­ason why Fer­tilly is so im­portant to me.

The mea­ning be­hind the work has al­ways been of great im­portance to me when choo­sing a career path. Since joi­ning Fer­tilly, I have be­come acu­tely aware of just how many people are af­fected by un­wanted child­less­ness. Fer­tilly sup­ports these in­di­vi­duals du­ring this dif­fi­cult time and it is a great fee­ling to be part of such a great team.

Step by step, I work my way th­rough the mass of in­for­ma­tion that al­ready exists on this topic, by eva­lua­ting and sum­ma­ri­sing it into an ea­sily di­ges­tible format for the reader. With my work, I hope to pro­vide an over­view of this emo­tional topic and bring rea­ders closer to ful­fil­ling their own wish to have children.

After com­ple­ting my stu­dies in li­te­ra­ture, media sci­ence and psy­cho­logy, I have pur­sued a career as a self-em­ployed on­line editor working for, amongst others, Spiegel On­line (SPON). At Fer­tilly I write me­dical and psy­cho­lo­gical ad­vice ar­ticles about fer­ti­lity, as­sisted re­pro­duc­tion and pregnancy.

Th­rough this ap­proach, I would like to ac­com­pany cou­ples on the hop­eful and beau­tiful, but also chal­len­ging journey th­rough their child wis­hing years. It is a matter close to my heart not only to im­part well-founded know­ledge, but also to sup­port cou­ples in their ex­cep­tional emo­tional si­tua­tion.

Wri­ting is my great pas­sion. I have been working in the media for over twenty years and have the pri­vi­lege of ap­p­lying my know­ledge and ex­pe­ri­ence from a wide va­riety of fields to my wri­ting. I am the author of two child­ren’s yoga books and a well-known ex­pert th­roug­hout Ger­many, espe­ci­ally in the field of pa­rent-child yoga. As a mo­ther of a teenage daughter, I know how ful­fil­ling it is to watch a child grow up. In this re­spect, I am very happy to sup­port the edi­to­rial team at Fer­tilly. I write ar­ticles in the sec­tions on as­sisted re­pro­duc­tion, hor­mones, se­xua­lity, fer­ti­lity and pregnancy that are qua­li­fied, in­for­ma­tive and sci­en­ti­fi­cally based.

In doing so, I al­ways keep the human being in mind. In this re­spect, when I write, I try to speak to the cou­ples in front of me who are em­bar­king on their journey to ful­fil­ling their long-che­rished de­sire to have children. They de­serve my re­spect and em­pathy.
