IVF is not a magic wand, and infertility is as much an emotional experience as a physical one. Rachel shares her own struggle with infertility and asks us to question the taboo surrounding infertility. Rachel is a performer and fitness consultant in the wellness arena. Leveraging a career producing and performing in theatrical shows worldwide, her work blends performance mindset with positive psychology. After successfully establishing herself professionally, Rachel was keen to move onto the next chapter of her personal life – motherhood. She lives by ‘Strength through Adversity’, and believes that it’s your reaction to adversity, not the adversity itself, that determines how your life’s story will develop.
