My Story

Clinical Nutritionist (BHSc) & Certified Fertility Specialist

I’m Tammy Shemesh, a clinical nutritionist with a Bachelor of Health Science in Nutritional Medicine specialising in fertility and pregnancy, with a deep passion for nurturing lifelong health from conception through early childhood.

Known for my warm, non-judgmental approach, I provide nutrition, lifestyle & supplement expertise, to empower women (and couples) to optimise their health, enhance fertility, and support a thriving pregnancy.

As a mother of two, I understand the unique challenges of prenatal nutrition, postpartum recovery, and breastfeeding, and I bring personal insight into the struggles mothers face.

I provide 1-1 expert consultations to support you through all stages from preconception to postpartum.

I am committed to helping you to enhance your fertility, pregnancy and postpartum by -

  • improving egg/ sperm quality

  • improving implantation

  • creating a nourishing womb

  • supporting menstrual health

  • balancing hormones

  • postpartum repletion

  • blood sugar balance

  • reducing inflammation

  • microbiome health

  • supporting lactation

I offer functional testing to help identify any underlying factors that may be preventing pregnancy, offering insights that could be the missing pieces of the puzzle.
