Hello, I’m Lucie. Founder of Bloom with Lucie.
I created this space to help women like me take back control of their fertility journey.
Infertility unleashes the perfectionist streak. The ingrained need to do everything right and be rewarded for it.
Hello, I’m Lucie. A fertility coach with lived experience of infertility and fertility treatment. I created Bloom with Lucie to empower women like me who are exhausted from showing up like wonder woman every single day.
I was diagnosed with endometriosis at 35, having tried to conceive for three years. After surgery, I was told I was too old for NHS-funded IVF before I’d even been discharged from hospital. I had to self-fund. I spent another five years trying before beginning privately funded treatment in my early forties.
I tried everything. Acupuncture, reflexology, Reiki, dietary changes, supplements, counselling, CBT. I optimised every variable I could find. And I was regularly furious with my body for not doing what it was supposed to do.
I kept telling myself that if I just did everything perfectly, it would work.
During treatment, we lost six embryos. I never gave myself time to pause and process the feelings of hurt, guilt, sadness, and betrayal because my body had let me down, again. On our final round, with less than a 15% chance of implantation, one embryo finally made it. I know that makes me one of the lucky ones. I know it doesn’t work out for everyone.
Why I built Bloom With Lucie
I know what it feels like when someone finally sits down beside you and wants to know your story.
During my treatment, I started to create what would become Bloom with Lucie. It’s the space I wish had existed for me when I was struggling and needed someone in my corner. Not a place for pressure to optimise and do everything perfectly. A space where you show up messy and tear-stained and you don’t have to explain or apologise.
Credentials
I am a certified fertility coach and level II Usui Reiki practitioner. I believe in a holistic approach and integrate coaching with somatic and energy-based techniques into my programmes, because our bodies need to feel safe before anything else can shift. I had Reiki treatment throughout my own fertility journey and experienced first-hand how it helped me reconnect to my body during a time when it felt like foreign territory.
I also hold a senior corporate wellbeing role, working with employers across Europe on fertility benefits and workplace policy. I understand your world. The one where you must be professional, functional and present, even when you are not okay.
“Lucie genuinely cares about making a difference and is a genuine advocate for women. She understands how challenging it can be to juggle life outside of work alongside professional ambition, and she has a great ability to notice the habits and thought processes that can quietly hinder success and happiness”

Working With Me
I support professional women who are navigating their fertility journey or treatment, have a fertility diagnosis like endometriosis, low ovarian reserve and PCOS, or who are processing the emotional aftermath of fertility treatment and infertility. Women who are used to solving life’s problems through planning, hard work and determination, and who realise that this challenge requires something different.
