Hey, lovely - I’m so glad you’re here!

You are in exactly the right place if you want to learn more about a world where getting pregnant does not involve dieting and weight loss.

My name is Nicola Salmon and I support fat folks who want get pregnant. I created my unique FAT+ve framework because we need different skills to navigate the fertility world when we live in fat bodies.

My values are the core of what I do and how I do it - read about them here.

  • "I loved everything about [IVF For Fat Folks]. It armed me with published, peer-reviwed medical research I can take to my doctor to advocate for myself. I feel more empowered to take an active role in my care and I feel able to get the help I need sooner. I came feeling isolated and left feeling like I'm part of a movement of fat people fighting for the right to evidence-based fertility treatment."

  • "Having Nicola is like having a personal fertility cheerleader—helping me with tiny, manageable action steps to improve my health and calm my anxiety. She always reminds me that my fat body is 100% capable of getting pregnant."

  • “I honestly don’t know how people do it alone. Nicola’s guidance and support have been instrumental in keeping me positive and hopeful about what’s ahead."

  • "Nicola’s program taught me to think outside of the mere mechanics of conception and consider my wellbeing holistically....we identified other influences in my life which may have been having a negative effect and found solutions so I could control the impact they were having on me. The exercise and diet suggestions I am sure not only helped me conceive, but have found a place in my everyday life, and I am still using the relaxation and mindfulness techniques suggested."

  • "I now feel more positive and in control of my lifestyle and more accepting of the challenges of this fertilty journey and everything it brings up. I feel more able to accept difficult emotions rather than shutting them out or beating myself up about feeling them. I have made significant changes to my diet and self-care regime (including making more time for meditation, exercise and better sleep!) and feel very good about this. Not so specific but I have a deeper sense of genuine hopefulness for the future whatever it brings."

  • "I would highly recommend Nicola – it really helps to have someone there to support you along the way, helping you make important changes to improve diet and lifestyle and stop you worrying as much! I’d never heard of a fertility coach before coming across Nicola, but more women should have one, it’s a very valuable service. It felt like talking to a really knowledgeable friend, who genuinely cared. The added touches of cards and little emails to help me stay on track were so thoughtful and much appreciated."

  • "After almost 2.5 years of trying, we are pregnant! I’m through the first trimester now, and everything seems to be going great. I’m not scared of miscarriage or post partum depression, because I feel like I have a strong foundation. My relationship is healthy, I know what makes me happy, and I am ready to bring a brand new person into my already fulfilling life. Thank you, Nicola, for helping me make my family a reality."

  • "When we started working together I was feeling overwhelmed and afraid that engaging more with fertility coaching would cause it to further dominate and consume my life – in fact the opposite happened – I feel more empowered to honour the importance of this journey and what comes up but also able to hold and focus on other parts of life. I feel the changes I have made have been positive for my overall wellbeing as well as my fertility."
