The path to becoming and being a parent doesn’t always unfold as expected. Whether you’re navigating fertility treatment, a medically complex pregnancy, miscarriage, traumatic birth, donor conception, or the challenges of early parenthood, we’re here to support you.
We provide evidence-based psychological care throughout the journey to parenthood — from fertility and family-building through pregnancy, birth and the early years.
Our specialist support can help you manage the emotional impact of these experiences, cope with uncertainty, and adjust when things don’t go as expected.
Pregnancy, birth and bringing a baby home can sometimes involve medical uncertainty, trauma or a very different start to parenthood than you had imagined.
We provide individual, couple and family therapy for parents navigating high-risk or medically complex pregnancy, traumatic birth, pregnancy or infant loss, and the challenges of caring for a baby with complex medical needs.
We support parents who are struggling with anxiety, adjustment or bonding with their baby. Our work focuses on supporting parental confidence, strengthening the developing parent–infant relationship, and helping parents find their feet after a difficult start.
We provide specialist psychological support for heterosexual and LGBT+ families formed through donor conception and surrogacy, from decisions about family-building through to the questions and conversations that arise as children grow.
We also offer Sharing Our Family Story, our evidence-based workshop programme for parents of donor-conceived children. The programme helps parents develop the confidence and practical skills to talk openly with their children about their origins and navigate conversations with extended family, schools, peers and the wider world.
Sage Fertility is directed by Dr. Ciara Byrne and Dr. Laura McKee. They combine their expertise as professional mind-body medicine teacher, clinician, professor, and researchers with an expertise and passion for reproductive health. Both bring to the programme the empathy and understanding that comes from experiencing infertility first-hand.
The team also includes consulting experts who specialize in reproductive psychology, eastern medicine, neuroscience, habit change & goal setting, and fertility yoga.
“Mind body practices and psychological tools, such as those taught in Dr. Ciara Byrne’s program can of enormous benefit to patients undergoing infertility. For any woman and couple out there struggling with fertility, I would strongly encourage you to invest the time and energy into learning these tools.”
Dr. Merle Berger co-founded Boston IVF which, rapidly became the largest and most successful IVF clinic in the world.
