Emotional & Mindset Coaching for Your Fertility Journey

IVF and fertility treatments aren’t just medical – they’re emotional, too.

At Cali Coaching, you’ll find the calm, clarity, and confidence to move forward without feeling alone.

Why Choose Margaret

  • Lived IVF Journey

    I’ve been through miscarriages, PCOS, male factor infertility, and IVF myself. I know the fear, the waiting, and the resilience it takes.

  • Certified Expertise

    Trained Fertility & Mindset Coach with 30+ years of professional experience in education, leadership, and emotional support.

  • Unique Frameworks

    My signature C.A.R.E.S. and A.L.I.G.N. models blend neuroscience, mindset tools, and holistic practices for lasting resilience.

  • Compassion with Structure

    Support that’s calm and nurturing, but also practical and grounded – no toxic positivity, just real strategies you can trust.

  • The Missing Link in Care

    Clinics focus on treatment. I focus on you – your emotions, confidence, and inner strength to move through fertility without losing yourself.

  • Safe, Personalised Support

    Every woman’s journey is different. I offer one-to-one coaching, a judgment-free space, and tailored strategies so you feel seen, heard, and supported every step of the way.

Why Emotional Coaching Matters

IVF isn’t just a clinical process – it’s an emotional marathon.

Research shows that when women feel emotionally supported during IVF, pregnancy rates can increase by up to 15%.

Emotional coaching also reduces stress, anxiety, and depression at critical points such as egg retrieval, embryo transfer, and the two-week wait.

This is the missing link in fertility care – the part clinics can’t always provide, but you deeply need.

With the right emotional support, women feel calmer, more resilient, and better able to navigate the toughest moments of their fertility journey.

How I Support You

I offer personalised emotional and mindset coaching designed to meet you exactly where you are:

  • IVF Resilience & Confidence Framework (C.A.R.E.S.) – a step-by-step 8-week program to prepare emotionally for IVF.
  • Holistic Fertility Foundations Framework (A.L.I.G.N.) – reset, restore balance, and strengthen your fertility foundations, naturally or before treatment.
  • Clinic Partnerships – helping clinics reduce dropouts and strengthen patient resilience.
  • Workplace Wellbeing – supporting organisations to create fertility-friendly cultures.

With these tools, you’ll not only move through fertility with greater strength, but also carry resilience, clarity, and confidence into every stage of life ahead.

About Margaret

I know this journey because I’ve walked it myself. My path through fertility challenges included miscarriage, PCOS, male factor infertility, and the emotional rollercoaster of IVF.

At my lowest point I felt depleted and uncertain – until I found resilience tools and mindset practices that helped me rebuild. That healing led to IVF success and inspired me to become a IVF Readiness Integration Strategist, so no woman has to face this alone.

With over 30 years of professional experience in education and leadership, I bring both compassion and structure to my coaching. Certified in fertility and mindset support, I combine neuroscience, mindset strategies, and holistic practices with my lived IVF journey.

This mix of expertise and personal understanding creates a safe, calm, and empowering space for every client.

At Cali Coaching, my mission is to make emotional support as essential as medical treatment in fertility care. Through my CARES (IVF Resilience & Confidence) and ALIGN (Holistic Fertility Foundations) frameworks, I help women move beyond fear and pressure, and reconnect with their strength, clarity, and self-trust.

Testimonials

Working with Margaret has been truly impactful. Our sessions gave me a deeper understanding of myself and the confidence to make more intentional choices. I now feel clearer about my goals and more motivated to pursue them.

Margaret is a skilled and compassionate listener who offers practical tools and insights to help cut through the noise and navigate challenges with greater clarity and purpose.

She brings both heart and wisdom and I highly recommend Margaret to anyone on a personal growth journey.

Working with Margaret was a deeply personal and empowering experience. Through her coaching, I discovered parts of myself I hadn’t recognised before and identified areas I wanted to grow. The techniques she used helped me tap into both conscious and unconscious ways of supporting myself.

Each session was tailored to my needs, with clear explanations that made me feel safe and understood. Margaret helped me set realistic goals, and her caring accountability kept me focused and motivated week after week.

What stood out most was her genuine care – she made me feel truly seen and supported throughout the entire journey

My name is Ashley, I am a mum, Early Childhood Educator and a Circle of Security Parenting Facilitator.

Completing Margaret’s 8 week mindset course in March has utterly changed the way I perceive my capabilities as an entrepreneur. Before committing I felt completely overwhelmed and clouded without a sense of direction. Margaret came to my rescue with easy to implement strategies helping me gain clarity and turn inward to gain trust and connection to the answers that were already there, leaving me with a consistent feeling of alignment to my truth.

Each week I felt excited to learn more about the new tools I was gaining, but more importantly to have someone who understood and could help me unlock the parts and paths I couldn’t see.

Having had a few weeks to let it all set in, I have clarity about what my business is, a roadmap to how to get there and a blueprint that weaves strategies to ensure my feminine essence and fire is the foundation of my business venture.

Every woman wanting to shift brain fog, gain clarity and empower herself should start with this 8 week course
