Adele O’Connor is an international educator, fertility coach, podcast host, best selling author and most importantly proud donor egg mama to her miracle son.

When women seeking to create family after years of heartbreak, grief and disappointment find themselves facing the loss of their own eggs and genetics and new challenges navigating the donor egg pathway she helps to fast track their knowledge with mind body connection strategies and a healing pathway. Her clients refer to her as a torchbearer for women on a donor egg pathway.

Adele hosts and produces a pioneering podcast lifting the veil of secrecy on all topics donor egg ivf.

Her mission is to share real stories from real women navigating family creation via egg donation.

She advocates and educates for families to have full transparency about their child’s conception story.

My wish is for these brave and courageous families to feel a sense of celebration and eradicate shame and secrecy and the stigma around donor egg third party reproduction.

Supporting families with the emotional part of this journey not only helps the parents but in turn helps our future children conceived via egg donation to feel proud of how much their parents wanted them and to celebrate their conception story.

Born in UK and living in Sydney with her loving husband and miracle child.

My MISSION

My mission is to hold space, empower and support women world wide facing mindset challenges and emotional blocks when faced with the complexities of considering using donor eggs for the first time, in the thick of the journey or in early parenthood.

When I was on my journey it took me two years to feel confident enough to move forward and take the plunge to use an egg donor.

I was looking for support and couldn’t find any. I decided once I had worked through my emotional blocks and mindset hurdles that I needed to retrain as a fertility coach and become the support (that I was seeking) for others.

I’m passionate about spreading awareness around the importance of transparency with our future children and educating intended parents around best practice and coaching them through any mindset hurdles to get to that place of peace and full disclosure from birth onwards.

My mission is to tear down the curtains of secrecy and stigma associated with donor egg family creation/completion. I want to help women and couples to be able to reframe shame to celebration. What I mean by that, is through my coaching I want to help women and families to be able to change perspective and view their long and often traumatic fertility journey as a badge of honour. They have love in their hearts and desire to be loving parents and bring up well adjusted children, to give their future children a wonderful life.

I want them to recognise their emotional strength in working through the mindset challenges and resilience as something to be celebrated and proud of. When intended parents are able to work through difficult emotions and grow towards this mindset then our future children are well supported in any challenges that they may face when they are at the stage in their life where they may wish to explore their genetic origins and siblings.

MY VISion

To educate and talk about all aspects of donor egg ivf and raising donor egg conceived children via my podcast Donor Egg Mama, writing and media.

To create community via my Community membership to help women feel less alone and isolated on their donor egg journey.

To create courses and resources to aid intended parents to break free from overwhelm, gain clarity and confidence on their donor egg journey.

To educate intended parents on all aspects and topics around donor egg ivf so that they can make well informed decisions and ensure that they are emotionally equipped to support their future children/s’curiosity about their genetic origins and siblings.

My future vision is to eradicate shame and stigma associated with third party reproduction.

To share women’s stories and perspectives and start honest conversations around this topic, to help to change the narrative.

MY VALUES

To hold space without judgement and empathy for unique personal decisions and circumstances.

To respect confidentiality at all times.

To understand that there are many perspectives around this subject.

To mentor and guide others using my skills as a Freedom Fertility Specialist and my personal experience as a woman who has created her family using donated a donated egg.

Supporting others using a blend of coaching, counselling and mind body connection techniques.

My intention is always to help and show others empathy and understanding.

To ensure that people understand that my coaching is not a replacement for seeking advice from a fertilty specialist or mental health professional.

I was recently a contributing author in the book, ‘Rebel Ma and the Feminine Rising’ with Saoirse Connelly, an Amazon best-seller.

Rebel Ma shares the stories of risk-taking, cycle-breaking, chain-making women leading the return to the time of the feminine, healing lifetimes and lineages, birthing babies and businesses and reclaiming their feminine power and potency to live life on their terms unapologetically. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This book will be a guiding light for women walking the path of liberation through their own radical awakening and settling into a fresh frequency beyond survival and separation.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you ready to be activated and initiated by warrior heart women who have alchemised their wounds into wisdom and are unstoppable in their pursuit of love, freedom and truth?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
