Making sense of Miscarriage™
This 6 week program is the most comprehensive, evidence-based course available, to help you identify the key areas which could be contributing to your risk of getting and staying pregnant.
Or scroll down for more information
Making sense of Miscarriage™ will help you to move away from the frustration and confusion of pregnancy loss or recurrent implantation failure, to gain complete clarity about the factors that could be raising your risk of miscarriage and know what actions you should take, in order to minimise that risk.
I can’t promise you a baby, (no one can) but I can give you a clear direction on what steps to take next, towards achieving your goal of a healthy and uncomplicated pregnancy.
I’ve taken my 18 years of clinical experience and crammed that knowledge into a 6 week framework to help you ensure that no stone is left unturned in getting to the root cause of what could be raising your miscarriage risk.
In this program, you will be getting the best of both worlds, as you will learn how an integrated & functional medical approach to miscarriage can be a real game-changer when it comes to identifying YOUR root cause factors.
Plus you can feel safe in the knowledge that everything you are learning about is evidence-based!
Before we dive into the specifics of this ground-breaking program, let’s run through exactly who I created this course for.
Whether you’re…
-
Someone who has experienced a miscarriage for the first time and are scared of it happening again.
-
Over 40 and concerned about the higher statistical risk of pregnancy loss, so you would like to do everything possible to minimise that risk.
-
Dealing with chronic fertility issues and are terrified that once you eventually do get pregnant, you might lose your baby to miscarriage.
-
Coping with the huge disappointment of multiple rounds of unsuccessful IVF treatment, trying to understand why your embryos aren’t implanting and you’re grieving the loss of your ‘embabies’.
-
Are trying for your second or subsequent baby, but have suffered miscarriages and are starting to wonder if maybe ‘it isn’t meant to be’.
-
Struggling with recurrent miscarriage and have done everything your doctors have told you, but it still hasn’t made a difference, so you’re not sure how much more of this torment you can possibly handle…
-
Reeling from a later term pregnancy loss and you aren’t sure where to turn to for help.
I hear you and I see your pain
Before we go even one step further, I just want to pause for a second to acknowledge your loss. If no one else has said it to you, I’m sorry for what you have suffered.
I’m sorry for the loss of your baby-that-was-to-be.
I wish I could go back in time to change the outcome for you and save you that pain.
However, I also know that the pain you have experienced is what lets you know that your baby mattered & your baby was loved...even if no one else got the chance to meet them.
It’s a painful process and not one that can be rushed, so you need to allow yourself the time to grieve properly.
However, once you are ready to start trying again, it’s important to be feeling as confident as possible about your odds of success.
Not knowing what could be increasing your risk of miscarriage, is like jumping out of a plane without a parachute, it’s utterly terrifying. Knowledge is power, so I want to help give you back that feeling of autonomy.
Having the right information and even more importantly, knowing what to do with that information, is what can really make a massive difference to your odds of successfully carrying a pregnancy to term.
By the end of this program, you will have:
-
Complete clarity on the factors that are likely to be raising your risk of miscarriage.
-
The knowledge you need to advocate for the investigations you may require.
-
Learned how to interpret lab results & know when it’s time to ask for repeat testing or to request other investigations that may have never been suggested to you before.
-
Developed a clear understanding of both the medical and integrated approach to each of the main miscarriage risk factors.
-
Worked through the fear and anxiety that is stopping you from taking the next step towards a healthy pregnancy.

Here’s something you may not be aware of…
16 years ago, I almost lost my daughter to miscarriage.
I had a bleed, was rushed in for an emergency scan and was lucky enough to see that a heartbeat was still there and going strong.
Every single day when I look at my daughter, I imagine what life might have been like if things had turned out differently.
That is why I am so passionate about this topic, as I never want anyone to suffer the agony of losing a much longed for baby.
I have also seen the way the health system operates and I know that we can do better. In fact, the system is in need of a complete overhaul, so that is why I created this course.
It’s my goal to fill in those knowledge gaps while ensuring that you feel supported throughout each stage of the process.
I can’t begin to tell you what a privilege it is to be able to support people during such a difficult time, and to witness their tentative optimism after conceiving, followed by the joy of finally welcoming their much yearned for baby into their lives.
I’d love the opportunity to help you change the ending to your story because you genuinely have far more control over this situation than you might think.
What MSOM alumni are saying......
“MSOM is the best thing I can do for myself and our TTC journey. Insightful material, loving the meal plans & the Q&A’s were very inspiring”
“MSOM was brilliant - there’s so much high quality info that I can trust. I’m a super complex case but feel I still have things to investigate”
"I loved it all! The Q&A zoom calls were invaluable to be able to send question’s and learn from others too. Resource wise the test markers section was excellent!”
“Thanks for all the amazing information. It's really giving us space to stop and re-evaluate how we'd like to take a step back and prepare before ever considering doing any more IVF.”
“Hi Jessica, this weeks module has been a real eye opener, I have learnt so much this week that I am starting to realise I have lots of things out of balance and not just one!”
“Just want to let you know that I am really enjoying your course so far. You really are a lady with so much information and I feel way more relaxed after listening to your lessons and the questions.”
“Hi Jessica, I’ve read a lot of information on miscarriages in the past few years. I can hand on heart say I have learnt more in the last 3 weeks than in 3 years! Great course, thank you!”
"Finding it really helpful. There's quite a bit of stuff I already knew, but there are lots of 'connections' that I wasn't aware of! E.g. blood flow and immunity, and the relationships between hormones”
“It's so good to be getting lots of trustworthy information from one place - it's so overwhelming trying to link what you learn from doctors and what you find on the internet"
“The best part was the amount of varied information. I felt I had done a lot of research but it was nothing compared to MSOM.”
Here’s a sneak peek of what’s inside
Making sense of Miscarriage™
Introductory Module
Miscarriage - Breaking down the myths & misconceptions
Learn about the many different forms of pregnancy loss and why ‘bad luck’ actually has very little to do with it. Gain a deeper understanding of why the experience of miscarriage is still shrouded in so much mystery and taboo and why it most certainly is not your fault.
Module highlights
-
What’s really going on behind the statistics that say miscarriage risk increases with age.
-
The varying types of pregnancy loss, from very early to late trimester, and how they are typically addressed.
-
Overcoming the fear of trying to conceive again and getting in the right mindset for a future pregnancy.
-
A quick action checklist, in case you have just discovered that you are pregnant again.
Module 1 - Maximising your Egg Quality
We’re diving straight in the deep-end, to address your concerns about egg quality!
There is no doubt that this is an area that causes huge confusion and stress for people when trying to conceive, and so often we are told that ‘bad eggs’ are the cause of increased miscarriage risk, so learning what can be done to maximise your egg quality, will be covered in detail in this first module
Module highlights
-
The difference between chronological and biological ageing.
-
The mechanisms by which egg follicles are damaged and how to minimise this risk
-
Diet & lifestyle factors that have the biggest impact on egg quality.
-
Nutrients and medications which can influence how your eggs mature in preparation for ovulation/egg retrieval (aka folliculogenesis).
-
Health conditions that have been linked to poor egg quality & what you can do about it
-
The critical role of hormone balance in egg maturation & why this is an area that is commonly misunderstood.
-
The role of environmental factors and how egg development may be impacted.
Module 2 - Hormone Imbalance
We know how important hormones are to maximising your fertility potential and the odds of carrying a pregnancy to term, but we also know that hormone imbalance can be seriously confusing, so in this module I will bring you on a guided tour of the endocrine system, to help you figure out what might be going on with your hormones and whether this could be raising your risk of miscarriage.
Module highlights
-
What a healthy menstrual cycle should look like and how to spot changes that could increase your risk of pregnancy loss.
-
Understand the foundations of hormone balance, without needing a degree in biochemistry!
-
The impact of gynaecological health conditions such as PCOS and Endometriosis on your risk of miscarriage and what to do about it.
-
How to figure out YOUR root cause hormone issues and work to improve them with dietary & lifestyle modifications, combined with professional-grade supplements.
Module 3 - Healthy blood flow during pregnancy
Healthy, unimpeded blood flow is the lifeline to your baby while you are pregnant. If there are problems with the circulation of blood to the placenta, then the pregnancy could be at risk. Here is where we break down each of the known factors that could impede blood flow and discuss the steps that you may need to take, in order to mitigate that risk.
Module highlights
-
Understanding your genetics, family history and blood clotting risk
-
Nutrients and medications that are known to impact how your blood clots
-
Testing and treatment- what actions to take and when.
Module 4 - The internal environment
The uterus serves as the supportive ‘home’ to your baby for 40 weeks, so it’s vital to ensure that there is nothing amiss with the internal environment that could impact your odds of carrying a healthy pregnancy to term.
Module highlights
-
Structural differences within the uterus - let’s get clear on the difference between the various uterine malformations and which ones are most likely to impact your odds of having a healthy pregnancy.
-
Ectopic pregnancy risk factors & management
-
What the research says about the impact of growths within or around the uterus and what you can do to minimise your risk of regrowth (e.g. fibroids, polyps, cysts, endometriosis).
-
How the management of miscarriage can impact your risk of future pregnancy losses.
Module 5 - Your immune system - friend or foe?
In this important module we’ll be discussing the controversial area of reproductive immunology and the role it could be playing in your risk of miscarriage.
There is a complex interplay of immune markers that must take place within the endometrium if a healthy pregnancy is to be able to continue, so we’ll be breaking down the key factors that could be increasing your risk and learn the actions you can take to minimise that risk in the future.
Module highlights
-
How to address the root cause of immune disturbance (Hint…it’s not steroids!)
-
The link between gut function & your immune balance
-
Immune testing explained- from the most basic, to the most complex investigations. Learn which tests are likely to be of benefit in YOUR particular case.
-
Nutrients and medications that work best for immune issues.
-
The impact of secondary immune issues (e.g. Hashimotos) and complex fertility-specific immune issues on your risk of miscarriage.
-
*Bonus* Guest expert interview
Module 6 - Complex cases & the critical role of Sperm health
This is the module where all of the information you have received so far will really start to make sense, as we delve deeper into some of the more complex cases that I have dealt with over the years and the crucial pieces of information that made the difference to those clients success.
We will also be discussing sperm health in detail, because after all, it is contributing 50% of the DNA that will become your future baby!
Module highlights
-
The most common overlapping root causes, which you need to understand, in order to minimise the risk of miscarriage.
-
What causes sperm damage and what can be done about it.
-
Bringing it all together- getting a plan in place, so that you know the next steps to take towards a healthy pregnancy.

Hi Jessica,
Hope you are keeping well!
Wanted to let you know you have another success story!!
The twins arrived 3 weeks ago (sorry I am only getting in touch now, the time seems to have evaporated since they arrived)
We have one beautiful little girl and handsome little fella! Who arrived at 32 weeks.
Both are in the special care baby unit while they get a bit bigger and work on their feeding but the team there are super happy with how they are progressing and every day are getting stronger so we can't ask for more!
Just wanted to say thank you for helping making our dreams come through, we honestly wouldn't have them without all your help.
(Message received Oct'2022)
“Just sending a little message to say that we’re just gone past the 12 week mark!! I am so unbelievably grateful and happy! Everything seems to be going very well! Baby has a strong heartbeat and everything is developing well so far! After following you for a few months on Instagram and doing fertility reset and also the amazing MSOM course I cannot THANK YOU enough for all of your information, help, knowledge and support!! I feel so much more confident and knowledgeable myself going forward!”
(message received Nov' 2022- baby due in June 2023)
Hi Jessica,
I hope you are keeping well and all your ventures are going brilliantly as always!
I am beyond thrilled to tell you that our son, was born on Thursday 22nd September (2022). We were lucky to have another straight-forward and enjoyable labour after a very normal and healthy pregnancy - I pushed him out in 7 minutes which I am very proud of!
I cannot thank you enough for all your help, advice, support and kindness to help us fall pregnant naturally, which as you know was always my wish and hope. This time last year I was hung up on all the supposed ''concerns'' that came with falling pregnant at my age, yet you helped me expel them all and helped me tune into myself and my beliefs. And here I am now, turning 42 this Friday, with a second happy, healthy child.
Everything you do - your work, your passion, your empathy, your fight for what is right, your endless willingness to help others - is unmatched by anyone else and so hugely needed. I would encourage any of your followers who are in any doubt to put their trust in you and then in themselves. My gut feeling always told me to work with you before going down any assisted route with a fertility clinic and wow am I glad I followed my gut - we were just another file to the fertility clinic but we were a couple to you, so thank you for listening to us.
I best stop gushing about you now as I could go on for ages!! But know that anyone I speak to who is struggling with their fertility journey, I am pointing them in your direction
Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts,
(message received Oct' 2022 from MSOM alumni of Sept' 2021)

You’re tired of wondering why your pregnancies aren’t continuing and having your concerns disregarded by the very people who you thought were supposed to be helping you.
You’re getting stressed about time passing and you want to take action NOW, to get a better understanding of what could be getting in the way of a healthy pregnancy.
You’ve been blaming yourself or your body for failing you and you really want to escape the destructive rut of self-doubt.
You’d like a fresh approach, that you know is evidence based, but also, which goes a step further, to help you understand how to apply the science to YOUR particular case.
You’re sick of second-guessing yourself and wondering whether the advice you received from a friend/neighbour/colleague or internet forum is really going to help you or not.
You’re confused about the type of foods that are most likely to support you as you work towards your goal and you don’t want to spend endless hours in the kitchen.
You’re afraid to conceive again….terrified in fact, and you would like to have the support of others who know exactly what this feels like.
You’ve been told to go for IVF treatment to ‘fix’ your fertility issues, but you can’t understand why you would do that, as your struggle is with staying pregnant, not getting pregnant.
You are perplexed by the endless assortment of research on the topic of miscarriage and you just want someone to sort through the noise for you, so you can take action, instead of freezing, due to sheer overwhelm.
You’ve been told that donor eggs are the answer, but your gut instinct is telling you there’s something else going on.
You want to feel confident about getting pregnant again…. maybe even a little bit excited, as you begin to allow yourself to visualise that baby in your arms.
If you’ve said “yes” to even 3 of the above, then I look forward to supporting you inside Making Sense of Miscarriage™
