WHY FLOWERING FERTILITY
You’re in experienced and understanding hands
Clare combines professional experience with a deeply personal understanding of infertility, fertility treatment and donor conception. After her own four-year fertility journey, she became a mother to twin daughters through donor-egg IVF and later welcomed another daughter following natural conception at 42.
Drawing on her background in education, writing, coaching and holistic therapies, Clare created Flowering Fertility to offer the compassionate emotional and practical support she once needed herself.
VOICES OF FLOWERING FERTILITY
“It felt like a lifeline when I was drowning. Clare didn’t just support me — she saw me.”
— Past Flowering Programme participant
OUR STORY
We’ve walked this road too
Flowering Fertility grew from our own four-year journey through infertility, treatment and donor conception. After welcoming our twin daughters through donor-egg IVF, we later welcomed our third daughter following natural conception when Clare was 42.
We remember the uncertainty, the difficult decisions and how isolating the journey could feel. Flowering Fertility was created to offer the understanding, guidance and hope we once needed ourselves.
Clare Mansfield and Shane McCarthy,
Co-founders of Flowering Fertility.
PATHS TO PARENTHOOD
Stories that make difficult conversations feel gentler
Created by Clare from her own family’s experience, the Paths to Parenthood series helps parents share their child’s beginning with honesty, warmth and age-appropriate language.
The growing collection includes stories about egg and sperm donation, surrogacy, adoption, natural conception, same-sex parents and pregnancy loss — helping every family tell their story with love.
