Meet Emma Austin
After my own 10-year infertility journey, we were lucky enough to be gifted healthy embryos. This led to the birth of our son, Henry. Through "lived experience" (and I can tell you we tried it all) and professional training I can offer you support when you need it most.
If you are curious about "my story", I'm happy to share it with you here, on ABC's Australian Story.
As an accredited ACA Professional Counsellor holding a Diploma of Counselling, a Bachelor of International Studies, and an MBA, I bring a wealth of expertise to guide you through this challenging time.
You can also find me on Psychology Today.
The path to parenthood can be a challenging journey, and I understand the complexities you may be facing. Infertility is a profound experience that can consume your thoughts and energy, all while you strive to balance life, career, and relationships.
Parenthood today comes in various forms, be it through natural means, blended families, step-children, adoption, fostering, surrogacy, sperm, egg, or embryo donation, or the companionship of a fur baby. The road through infertility is intricate and emotionally charged, and I firmly believe that every individual's story is a unique narrative - I provide a place for you to explore and share your story.
Regardless of whether you're a same-sex or heterosexual couple, or an individual going through it alone, the innate desire to build a family is powerful. I am here to offer professional and empathetic support at every stage of your journey, with a deep understanding of the emotional stress, fears, and pressures associated with infertility.
