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.

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.
