Leadership
Christoph Müller-Guntrum
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.
Jan Brauer
Today, the path to a desired child is paved with forms. The coordination effort between patients, fertility centers, doctors and laboratories unnecessarily burdens expectant parents.
A fertility journey does not have to be as complex as building a house. With targeted digital networking and smart diagnostics, we can make the journey smoother for everyone involved. And create more space for what’s important.
At Fertilly, I take care of exactly these issues: The development of our digital solutions and the integration of medical partners into our offering.
Francesca Sacchi
The problem of infertility is more prevalent than ever before, however it is still insufficiently understood and infrequently discussed. Although the difficulties of falling pregnant naturally are widespread, it is still rarely talked about.
At Fertilly, I have accompanied many patients on their very exciting path to parenthood, and continue to do this with as much sensitivity and professionalism as the first patient I supported.
As a counsellor for Italian patients, I am your point of reference throughout the entire process: from first counselling contact, where I can answer your questions, clarify any doubts and guide you towards the path that best suits your needs. Up until hopefully the fulfilment of your wish to have a child.

Nicole Raseck
In my personal environment, I have dealt with the topic of “wanting a child” a lot and a few years ago I had the great fortune to become a mom myself. I know the emotional ups and downs of a childbearing journey very well. Although fertility treatments are widely available, it is still a stigmatised subject that is often kept quiet about — unfortunately.
At Fertilly, I want to support you in clearing the jungle of information, giving you a space for questions and thoughts, and finding the right path for you. I look forward to hearing from you!
Christina Bauer
The desire to have children is one of the most natural wishes of all — which is why transparent and holistic advice is particularly important. I have dealt with this topic myself, as it came up again and again in my private life. As a social pedagogue and supported by my training as a pharmaceutical technician, I hope to provide you with all the information you need to make a decision that is right for you.
As your patient care advisor, I will not only comprehensively advise you about all possible options, but I will also stand by your side in difficult situations and can be an emotional support throughout your journey — this is our main goal at Fertilly. I am very happy to give you my full attention through my work at Fertilly, and through this be a part of educating and ensuring transparency when it comes to wanting a child.
Lakeisha Schlickum
There are wishes that are completely within our power and, unfortunately, many others that are more difficult to realise than hoped. Often, sadly, the desire to have children is one of the latter. For me, Fertilly’s mission to accompany you in fulfilling your desire to have a child and to simplify the path to this goal is of great importance.
As a patient care advisor, I respond to your wishes and questions with a great deal of empathy and understanding, so that you don’t feel left alone in the overload of information. With an open ear, a lot of heart and the right information, I would like to advise you on your fertility journey, inform you about your options and support you from start to finish.
Martina Stehling
Throughout my professional career I have had the privilege of advising on several of life’s most important topics. But none as important as personal family planning.
As a mother of two sons, I can completely empathise with the desire to have children of ones own — whether that be now or in the future. More than this, I also understand what great happiness is involved in this journey. Although, through my circle of friends, I have also closely experienced that this path, and its timing, can be a very difficult one. Through this I came to understand the great relief and importance the right support can play.
At Fertilly, I hope to guide you through the maze of information on this important topic. By simplifying the process for you, together we can plan the next steps in your journey, ensuring focus is kept on your personal situation. For me, there is nothing better than knowing you are in good hands — whether this be starting an infertility treatment or taking certain time-pressures off you through social freezing. I am very much looking forward to getting to know you!
Lily Sievers
For every woman, the desire to have children is a journey, and a very individual one at that. A few years ago, I had my own eggs frozen as a precautionary measure and dealt intensively with planning and everything that concerns the desire to have children. From my own experience, I know how important it is to get support along the way: from information about the various examinations and treatment options to the right clinic and team of experts to suit your particular needs.
It is a matter close to my heart to advise you as part of the Fertilly team, so that you receive the treatment that is right for you — accompanied with a large portion of empathy.
Katrin Förster
From my own experience I know how urgent the desire to have children can become and how time-consuming it is to gather information.
I myself am a solo mother, which means I had my son without a partner with the help of a sperm donation — and there is no greater happiness for me. But it has been a long road, so I can particularly relate to the mental challenges that come with the childbearing journey.
I’m so happy to be able to share my experiences with Fertilly and support you on your childbearing journey. Both with an open ear and with concrete information. Every big decision starts with a first step — and I’m happy to help you with that!
Patient Care France
Selena Galan
In recent years, there has been an increase in the use of medically assisted reproduction and a considerable improvement in the treatments offered in France. However, despite the fact that this subject is becoming increasingly prevalent, unfortunately it is still considered a socially taboo topic.
This is why I am at your disposal, to accompany you without judgement, in all benevolence and with a lot of empathy, along your path to having a child abroad. Our conversations will allow me to understand your personal needs and wishes as well as possible, so that I can advise the best care suited to you.
I am looking forward to starting this adventure with you!
Gabrielle Le Poittevin
The journey to parenthood can be difficult and emotionally challenging, each journey is unique and depends on the goals and needs of that specific person or couple.
My own parents had to get help from a fertility clinic to conceive my sister and I, even if their own journey was intense and they experienced a lot of worries, they always assured me that they were well informed and received professional, respectful and caring support throughout the process. Getting help from a fertility clinic has allowed them to realize their dream of having a family.
It´s for this reason that is particularly important for me to be able to stand by your side with Fertilly and support you in your desire to have a child.
Patient Care Italy
Roberta Maratta
Supporting the desire of women and couples to start a family is the basis of my professional profile. I am a midwife by training and my role at Fertilly is to provide accessible and personalised information to improve the experience of all people who decide to undergo fertility treatment.
When people consider the process of starting a family, they often have a relaxed picture in mind. Unfortunately, it is often the case that those who wish to have a child face unexpected obstacles or difficulties that cause stress and worry. Helping parents choose an appropriate and individualised path is what connects me, as a midwife, to the goal of Fertilly and the partner clinics we work with.
On the Fertilly team, I also bring an in-depth understanding of the fundamental principles of women’s and couples’ health. I will provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision about which path is best for you and your needs.
Martina Furia
My goal here at Fertilly is to support, with professionality and empathy, all those who wish to fulfil their desire to become parents: from heterosexual couples to those formed by women, as well as women without partners.
In Italy the topic of reproductive health, as well as that of infertility, are very often taboo subjects and about which there is little information: every woman and every couple has the right to be able to know and above all clearly understand what options are available to them.
You will therefore find me available for every need and at your side every step of the way: I’m looking forward to meeting you and offering everyone my support during this challenging journey!
Beatrice Spano
In Italy most people still talk about infertility in a very superficial way, as if becoming parents were something to take for granted. However, hoping for a child and experiencing the struggles of conceiving can be a painful and stressful experience. In most cases, those who find themselves in this circumstance do not find the support and attention they need to embark on and pursue a fertility journey. Knowing that they can count on professional and empathetic support can really make a difference, also in terms of outcomes.
Offering support at all stages of the fertility journey and fostering the serenity and awareness needed to cope with it in the best possible way, is what I do at Fertilly. As a specialised counsellor for Italian patients and as a midwife, I accompany couples and single women who wish to conceive. By offering safe and informed support and a space where one feels welcome, can resolve doubts and receive personalised information. I help patients overcome the sense of disorientation that arises from difficulties obtaining a complete picture on the subject of infertility and its possible solutions.
I am happy to walk by your side and help you find the most suitable path to fulfil your dream.
Business Team
Johanna Kohnen
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.
Marie-Antoinette Schorch
A business enterprise with a high social purpose. That is Fertilly! We are pioneers in the field of FemTech and give our voice to an issue that has (unfortunately) been stigmatised until now: the desire to have children! It is unspeakably fulfilling for me to provide my voice and know-how for our mission.
Many “first times”, always exciting challenges and at the same time the good feeling of accompanying people in what is perhaps the most important topic of their lives — the wish for a child. Our team shows many facets around the topic of wanting a child, so that a very unique spirit emerges from it. Helping to shape this spirit and supporting the team as it grows is my personal why.
Jenia Chornaya
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.
Saskia Balke-Homberg
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.
Andrea Helten
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.
We are constantly growing and are always looking for new talent — maybe we are looking for you?
