CHOICE MOM | CERTIFIED COACH | CERTIFIED FERTILE BODY THERAPIST
“Few people will ever understand the depth of personal inquiry that sits behind every single decision you make towards becoming a choice mom.
From choosing a donor to facing your fertility, the long term impact of your decisions is always front of mind. It takes someone with both lived experience and the determination to succeed to see you through every step of the journey.”

I’M REEMA. CHOICE MOM. CERTIFIED COACH AND CERTIFIED FERTILE BODY THERAPIST, WITH A MISSION TO BRING MORE EASE AND SUPPORT TO THE SINGLE MOTHER BY CHOICE JOURNEY.
Combining years of experience as an executive coach with the lived experience of conceiving my daughter on my own (despite unexplained fertility), I help women access the resources and information they need to confidently become the mother they’ve always wanted to be.
My Story..…
When I first started this process, I didn’t know that I was choosing to become a single mother by choice. What began as a fertility assessment and wanting to freeze my eggs to buy me more time to find a partner, turned into the confronting realization that my time to fall pregnant was quickly running out. The pressure finally hit me, and without a partner to navigate it with, I was thrown into the whirlwind of questions that every choice mom navigates -
Can I really do this on my own? Can I afford it?
Am I selfish for bringing a child into this world without a father? Will I be enough?
How will I know I’ve chosen the right donor?
What would my support system look like?
Can I provide for my child and raise them on my own?
What will the impact be on my child not having a biological father in their life?
You see, I had a plan for my life - and being a single mother by choice was not part of the plan. But that deep knowing inside that I was meant to become a mom felt stronger than ever.
And so I found myself having to grieve the fairytale (Disney has a lot to answer for) and face the disappointment that “this wasn’t the way I thought it would be”, and I had to make a decision.
It took years of unexplained infertility, multiple IUI’s and rounds of IVF, and trying multiple donors to fall pregnant, but what most didn’t see was what took place within. The dedication to my mindset, the daily self-development, and everything I’d devoted to as a coach was now my greatest tool in both my strength and my surrender. Coaching myself through the process, as well as designing a specific fertility support team around me, became the resource that helped me most when the resources available were outdated and the experienced support options didn’t resonate with me.
now, as a choice mom i want to help other women navigate this journey so that they don’t have to meet it on their own like I did.
I want to pass on the supportive tools, information, experience and share the importance of a support team, all of which helped me become a single mother by choice, because no woman needs to move through this process alone.
