You are in exactly the right place if you want to learn more about how we can collaborate together to support fat folks navigating fertility issues.

My name is Nicola Salmon and I’m the award-winning expert in fat-positive fertility and author of the book “Fat and Fertile”.

I help fat folks navigate getting pregnant in a weight-obsessed world and advocate for change in how fat people are treated whilst accessing help with their fertility, by raising awareness and collaborating with public and private sectors on national and local levels.

I graduated from University College London with a BSc in Physical Sciences and an MSc in Medical Engineering and Physics from King’s College London. I went on to train as a clinical scientist before working within the public sector at the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency. Having spent 11 years in academia and public health sciences and subsequently having spent 5 years researching the intersections of fatness, fertility and health, I am well placed to navigate healthcare research.

Hi there!

My Audience

I have dedicated the past 7 years of my career to supporting folks in bigger bodies with their fertility alongside advocating for change within the fertility sector.

In that time, I’ve been fortunate enough to connect with over 35, 000 folks via Instagram, over 1,000 folks on facebook and over 4,000 folks via my regular email newsletter.

How we can work together

I work with healthcare professionals and companies who want to actively and positively support fat people with their fertility without discrimination based on their size.

I would love to work with you and your business.

    Feedback from the EDRD Pro Education Development Team, on the Hormone Health Course we collaborated on

  • "The Hormone Health and Eating Disorders course was beautifully curated to provide information and tips that I could easily transfer into practice.

  • “Nicola is a powerful voice in the infertility space. She brings compassion, research based knowledge, & lived experience meeting a huge need for so many. I was impressed with Nicolas ability to speak to the nuance and tender needs of marginalized folks dealing with infertility. Her feminist lens and advocacy values inform her work as an infertility coach which makes her not only qualified, but shes  changing the infertility game. She speaks up against systems of oppression and brings evidence based tools to support folks in their journey.
