WELCOME TO THISTLE & SEED, I’M CASSANDRA YOUR HOLISTIC FERTILITY COACH
I know what it feels like to want something so deeply—to dream of growing a family, to envision the life you long for, and to feel stuck in the uncertainty of it all.
My own trying to conceive journey has been filled with highs and lows, hope and heartbreak. Month after month, I tracked, tested, researched, and adjusted everything I could—only to feel like I was still missing a crucial piece of the puzzle.
Through my struggles, I realized just how much of fertility is not only about cycles and timing but about whole-body wellness. The modern world is full of toxins, stress, and misinformation that work against our natural ability to conceive. I knew I needed to take a different approach—one that honoured my body, my mind, and the wisdom of nature.
That’s why I created Thistle & Seed Fertility—a place where you can find guidance, support, and real, actionable steps to reclaim your fertility naturally. I don’t just teach holistic fertility; I live it. I’ve spent years diving into nutrition, herbalism, and non-toxic living to give myself the best chance possible, and now, I want to share that knowledge with you.
You shouldn’t have to go through this alone. You shouldn’t have to wonder if you’re doing “enough” or if you’re missing something critical. You deserve compassionate, evidence-based support from someone who understands.
No matter where you are on your journey, I’m here to help you navigate this path with clarity, confidence, and a deep trust in your body’s ability to conceive. You are not broken. You are not alone. And together, we’ll create a foundation for the healthy, thriving pregnancy of your dreams.
Simple Ways To boost your fertility naturally…
Nourish with Whole Foods
Fertility thrives on nutrient-dense, whole foods that support hormone balance. Prioritize healthy fats (avocados, salmon, nuts), quality protein, and colourful vegetables while minimizing processed foods and refined sugars.
Sync with Your Cycle
Understanding your menstrual cycle phases allows you to time conception effectively and support your hormones naturally. Track your basal body temperature (BBT), cervical mucus, and ovulation signs to optimize your fertile window.
Prioritize Stress Management
Chronic stress disrupts ovulation and hormone production. Incorporate stress-reducing practices like gentle movement (yoga, walking), breathwork, journaling, and adequate sleep to promote a calm, fertile body.
Support Your Gut & Detox Pathways
Gut health is directly linked to hormone regulation and inflammation. Include fiber-rich foods, fermented foods, and liver-supporting herbs (dandelion, milk thistle) to optimize digestion and detox excess estrogen.
Balance Blood Sugar for Hormonal Harmony
Unstable blood sugar can lead to insulin resistance, which disrupts ovulation and progesterone levels. Focus on balanced meals with protein, healthy fats, and fiber to maintain stable energy and hormones.
Reduce Environmental Toxins
Toxins from plastics, pesticides, and household products act as endocrine disruptors, interfering with fertility. Switch to non-toxic personal care products, glass storage containers, and organic foods to reduce exposure.

my story
WHY I BECAME A FERTILITY COACH
I know firsthand the emotional and physical toll that fertility struggles can bring. Month after month, I tracked, tested, researched, and changed my diet—only to feel like I was still missing a critical piece of the puzzle. I felt overwhelmed, exhausted, and discouraged. But through this journey, I discovered something life-changing: fertility isn’t just about cycles and ovulation; it’s about whole-body wellness.
I started to shift my focus—detoxifying my home, nourishing my body with real, fertility-supporting foods, and turning to the wisdom of herbs and natural remedies. I learned that modern toxins, stress, and nutrient depletion are silent roadblocks to conception, but with the right approach, they can be overcome.
This realization sparked my passion for holistic fertility, and Thistle & Seed Fertility was born. My goal is to provide you with the knowledge, tools, and support you need to optimize your fertility naturally—without guesswork, confusion, or overwhelm.
