Hi, I’m Tina
I support women on their fertility through the emotional, cultural and identity-heavy layers that clinics don’t cover.
And I’m the founder of Tina Fertility Coach and the Rise Up Beyond Fertility Movement.
I started IVF in my late 30s and spent four long years trying everything my clinic suggested (and so much more trust me!)
Hundreds and hundreds of injections (around 700+), endless pills and all the supplements, major 6 hour surgery, unsuccessful cycles and transfers and more hours in the waiting rooms than I can count.
But the hardest part wasn’t the medical side it was everything else around it.
The BIG emotions.
The huge identity shift.
The guilt, shame and loneliness.
The constant question of who am I becoming?
And as a South Asian woman, the cultural pressure made it even heavier, you can’t imagine some of the comments I had to hear, the expectations, the quiet (and loud) comparison, the family gatherings that left me crying in the bathroom, feeling like I was a complete and utter failure.
There’s this unspoken belief that family should come easily, a baby should come easily as it’s the most natural thing apparently.
But when it doesn’t, the shame and self-blame sink in fast.
I know that place so well and so deeply, holding hope one minute and heartbreak the next, pretending I was coping while quietly falling apart inside.
What changed things for me wasn’t a new clinic or protocol.
It was the inner work, the healing, the growth, learning how to speak to myself differently, support my nervous system and rebuild the parts of me I felt I was losing.
And that work eventually led me to motherhood at 42, and into this work supporting women emotionally, culturally and as whole human beings walking through something far bigger than a treatment plan.
This isn’t about toxic positivity or pretending it’s all fine.
It’s about understanding yourself, your emotions and your nervous system so you can move through this journey with more balance, self-trust, choice and in a clearer head space.
And it’s about Rising Up Beyond Fertility being true to your identity, your future and your emotional health whatever path your journey takes.

My Story
My journey into IVF started unexpectedly after a routine test.
My husband and I walked in thinking it was just a check, and walked out being told he had severe male-factor infertility and that IVF was our only real option.
Nothing prepares you for news like that.
What followed was four years of treatment, endless cycles, major 6 hour surgery, and more injections, scans and medications than I could ever have imagined.
On the outside, I held it together. Culturally we are “trained” to be strong and not talk about how we are really feeling so I did just that for a while.
But, on the inside, I was completely exhausted, drained, scared, disconnected from myself, my body and questioning everything from my identity, my relationship, my career and my place in the world.
At one point, I quit my job because I couldn’t juggle treatment, my emotions and a demanding career anymore and because IVF opened my eyes to a life beyond my corporate role.
That’s when I found coaching and it changed my life.
Not my situation at first, but me , the way I thought, the way I coped, the way I supported my body, and the way I held myself through something that was slowly wearing me down.
That inner work helped me move from barely surviving IVF to feeling grounded, balanced, supported, more in control and with the mindset that I could do this.
All the work I did led me to becoming pregnant at 41 and giving birth to my miracle baby boy at 42. This is my big WHY.
This is why I created Rise Up Beyond Fertility because I truly believe that your identity, emotional health, career and relationships deserve to exist alongside your fertility journey, not disappear deep underneath it all.
