Our Mission
Heart-led. Evidence-informed. Rooted in real experience.
At Flowering Fertility Support, our mission is simple yet powerful:
To help individuals and couples on their path to parenthood — offering compassionate, practical, and personalised support every step of the way.
We believe fertility care should go beyond clinic doors. It should be emotional as well as medical, holistic as well as clinical.
Our work is driven by three core pillars:
A Value-Driven Vision
We hope to reduce isolation, and offer clarity and hope to those trying to conceive. Our services are grounded in empathy, authenticity, and purpose.
A Holistic-Meets-Science Approach
With Clare’s background in holistic therapy and Shane’s expertise as a medical scientist, we blend the emotional with the analytical, the intuitive with the evidence-based. This dual lens ensures our clients feel supported on all levels — mind, body, and soul.
Lived Experience at the Core
We have been there. Our own 4-year fertility journey — through loss, Donor Egg IVF, and a natural conception at 42 is the heart behind everything we do. We’re not speaking from theory; we’re speaking from the other side of the storm.

A note from the Founders of Flowering – Fertility Support Services
We are Clare and Shane — husband and wife, parents of three daughters, and co-founders of Flowering Fertility Support. Partners in life, love... and purpose.But before the business came the journey.
After years of heartbreak, uncertainty, and unanswered questions, we welcomed our twin girls into the world through Donor Egg IVF. Four years later, we were blessed with a spontaneous natural pregnancy— and our third little miracle arrived when Clare was 42.
Our road to parenthood was long and emotional — filled with tears, hope, and deep transformation. It taught us more than we could have ever imagined. And it planted the seed that would grow into Flowering.
We created this space to support others walking that same path — with compassion, clarity, and a mix of science and spirit. Together, we offer something truly unique: Support that is both heartfelt and evidence-based. Grounded and gentle. Real people, who have been where you are.
"We created Flowering to be the support we once needed — a soft place to land when the world feels hard. You do not have to walk this road alone.”
