Dia, the female healthcare app

Fertility and IVF

As so many of you know, when you are trying to conceive, and are going through fertility treatment, you can feel quite overwhelmed

There is just so much to think about – your cycle, the timing of ovulation, tests, scans, appointments and medication, all whilst your moods flip between excitement, fear, joy and anger.

You want to know that you are doing what you can yourself to optimise your chances of conceiving. Are you eating the right foods? Are you taking the right supplements? Are you getting enough good quality sleep?

Add to that the emotional pressure of uncertainty, and you can start to feel as though you aren’t quite in control as you want to be.

This is why we were interested to learn about the new female healthcare app – Dia, created by The Fertility Partnership.

With Dia, users can regain some of that much needed control, by tracking their cycles and their daily moods. They can monitor their sleep, and other important metrics that are all key when you are trying to conceive.

They can gain access to a library of curated and medically verified health and lifestyle content and even view their TFP appointments and medication.

Dia hopes to empower women to make informed decisions about their future through education about their body and cycle.

Heath Tracker: Track your daily life against your cycle, and get insights about why you might be feeling a certain way at a certain time of the month

Fertility Forecast: Get an idea of where you are in your fertility window and how certain health and lifestyle factors can impact this (for men, too!)

Educational Hub: Read up on fun, interesting and relevant topics, with articles medically verified by real TFP doctors

My Clinic: Book appointments, have in-app video consultations, find your clinic, see upcoming appointments and medications, all in one place

It is everything you need, all in one place.

We would love to hear your thoughts. Download Dia Today, and let us know how you get on.

As a survivor of 3Fs – a failed fertility treatment, a failed adoption, and a failed marriage – Salise is no stranger to life-changing setbacks. Which is why she has dedicated the last few years of her life and career to helping single individuals and couples realise their dream of having a family of their own.

Having travelled extensively and lived abroad in London since 2001, Salise has been at the forefront of knowing the cutting-edge medicine and technology available to treat infertility, both in the UK private healthcare industry and abroad.

With a naturally witty, comforting, and fun personality, she is able to instantly make people feel appreciated, valued, and heard – despite them navigating some of the toughest life challenges.

Her impact can best be observed in her corporate experience with Accenture and HCA Healthcare UK – helping to reshape how hundreds of medical professionals interact, treat, and communicate with patients, while leveraging new digital platforms and tools.

It is through her leadership that Salise has been able to spearhead impactful fertility initiatives as a business analyst with Fortune 100 companies. In 2022, Salise successfully implemented two IVF software solutions at a brand-new fertility clinic and at one of the leading private fertility treatment centres in the UK – empowering them to treat over 2,000 patients.

Her powerful and inspiring presentations, workshops, and speeches is why she has been appointed as the Vice President of Public Relations for the London Chapter of Toastmasters International.

When she’s not helping families achieve their dream of having a baby, Salise spends her time volunteering, cycling through Central London, and is not a stranger to enjoying a good slice of cake.

Emotional health and wellbeing support whilst trying to conceive can be incredibly valuable to reduce overwhelm, to regain hope, process feelings, build resilience and improve relationships and to move more peacefully through medical investigation or procedures.
For individuals and couples who are pregnant following a difficult fertility journey, with experiences of loss or ready to take a healing journey to parenthood, emotional wellbeing support offers a safe, growth filled space through to the fourth trimester.

I offer a blend of coaching, counselling and therapeutic support with embodied and expressive approaches for those who wish to explore this way. My training and background is in Psychology, Counselling/ Psychotherapy and Coaching working in the UK and overseas for over 15 years. Experiencing my own fertility challenges, IVF and pregnancy loss led me on my own healing and therapeutic process.

Fertility intelligence coaching can directly impact egg health, improve sperm mobility, boost fertility, healthy pregnancy and much more.

How does this work?
The process starts by firstly assessing you and your partner mental & physical wellbeing.
This is then followed by eliminating any misconceptions of actions and influences that hinder your fertility, thereby also revealing the genetic setpoint to influence/control positive outcomes.

At this point the foundations are set, we then focus on optimising relationships with yourself and others (romantic or otherwise) emotionally, mentally, spiritually and physically.

Finally diet and nutrition can play a very important role in the quest to getting pregnant so I will make sure that even this area you will feel confident and more in control of your body.

The Mancave

Kevin Button - "The Mancave"

‘The Mancave’ @them_ancave was created through personal experience and was to help break the stigma around male infertility. Why should we suffer in silence?!

“I believe anxiety and depression go hand in hand with fertility issues, and I honestly believe men have taken their own lives due to the fact they have had very little or no help or support after being told they are infertile. Because of this, I plan to make a difference and I want you guys to come along on this journey with me. Let’s do this together; for us, for those that have suffered in silence before us and for the men of the future, who hopefully won’t have to suffer alone.”

Kevin drives “The Mancave” project and is an Ambassador of Fertility Network UK.
