• Tina Padia is the compassionate founder of Tina Fertility Coach, someone who truly understands the deep emotional and physical toll of the infertility journey. Having endured over four years of challenging IVF treatments, including 800+ hormone injections, major surgeries, and countless failed cycles, she has personally experienced the heartbreak and loneliness that often accompany the road to parenthood.

With her background in Neuroscience and as a certified Master Practitioner of NeuroLinguistic Programming (NLP), Tina helps women shift their mindset and reframe their beliefs. NLP empowers you to take control of your thoughts and reactions, replacing feelings of helplessness with hope and empowerment. Tina believes that while the path may be difficult, it is not impossible, and by changing how you think, you can begin to change how you feel and respond.

Tina also incorporates holistic therapies such as Reiki and Sound Bowl Therapy, which work to release blocked stress and anxieties, offering a gentle, supportive approach to healing without requiring you to do anything other than be present and open.

Her personal journey through fertility struggles gives her a deep understanding of the emotional rollercoaster that women face—constant scans, blood tests, and the overwhelming uncertainty of what’s ahead. But Tina is more than just a coach; she’s a dedicated ally, supporting you through every step of your journey with empathy and care. She creates a safe space where you can express your feelings freely, without judgment, while helping you build trust in your body and find hope in your fertility future.

Tina’s mission is to not only be a fertility coach but also someone who truly cares about helping you feel empowered, supported, and hopeful, guiding you to a place of self-acceptance and peace as you navigate your fertility journey.
