Fertility Friendly Dietitian (2025)

Are you swimming in endless acronyms, countless pages of blood tests, weird & wonderful supplement labels to decipher and perhaps the toughest of all, the emotions and vulnerability of your clients who are at such a delicate life stage of navigating conception, infertility, pregnancy, loss and oh-so-much pain 💔

Naturally, you are a passionate, conscientious practitioner who wants to do their very best to support your client, so you spend hours before and after the session combing through results, researching supplements and holding space for all your client’s feelings.

If you’re spending more time knee-deep in PubMed, staring at the back of prenatal vitamin labels and scratching your head when clients ask what their lab work means for their fertility health and diet.

Trust me, I know it firsthand!

Being a Reproductive Health Dietitian Can be a Tough Gig! 

I imagine you'd have a whole lot more time & energy focused on other parts of your practice or just life, plus the confidence you're doing the very best for your clients!

Imagine what it would feel like to:

Feel confident about the curve-ball questions from clients & giving the best advice based on the latest developments in the science & industry
Interpreting nutritional lab work in front of your client and providing real-time feedback that truly customises your plans
Sustainably build your clinical knowledge so you can bring the very latest & best advice to your patients (even the clinically complex ones)
Access like-minded dietitians & your mentor about client cases and questions anytime!
Actually implement what you learn into real-life cases in your practice and get feedback on it from experts & colleagues!

 You're a team player who enjoys learning AND contributing within a group environment

A passionate and qualified dietitian with an interest in fertility, reproductive health & pregnancy

Eager to learn and take your clinical skills to the next level to supercharge your client results!

Being part of this memership has helped my knowledge and confidence in fertility nutrition so much! Stef is so active in the Facebook group and having questions answered in real time and then having someone for follow up questions is priceless. I love being part of a community when private practice can get quite siloed.

Hear From Our Members about Why They Love Fertility Friendly Dietitians

Hear from Rachel Gearon APD, co-founder of Hera Nutrition - a fertility, endometriosis & pregnancy dietitian who has been learning & growing inside Fertility Friendly Dietitians since March 2023!

Hey, I’m Stefanie Valakas!

I am a certified fertility & pregnancy dietitian and founder of The Dietologist, one of Australia’s first dedicated fertility & reproductive health dietitian practices, having helped 2000+ clients online from around the world with their nutrition and health goals!

When I was in the thick of the self-learning journey after doing my formal fertility & pregnancy nutrition training, I knew I eventually wanted to share my knowledge, shortcuts and tips with fellow dietitians to save them the headaches I was navigating. 

Trust me, I truly did things the HARD way.

Now, I’ve helped 100+ dietitians from Australia, the UK, Ireland, Canada, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Dubai to up-level their clinical skills across 3 years of Fertility Friendly Dietitians membership and I can’t wait to bring you into the fold too.

I wanted to find a way to bring affordable, practical and achievable professional development sessions that focused on the topics and skills dietitians like you needed, to bridge the big gaping hole between free webinars where you learn almost nothing new and multi-5-figure course investment that swallows 6-12 weeks of your life up! 

I don’t know about you, but I rarely look at my notes from conferences I went to 6 months ago, let alone implement what I learned!

I created Fertility Friendly Dietitians to run parallel to your busy practice and life, so you get the most out of the cutting-edge learnings and grow sustainably over time because ultimately that’s when this translates into results for you and your clients!

We want to ensure this is the right fit for your professional development goals and career stage!

This is for established or emerging fertility & reproductive health dietitians who already have a solid grasp of the foundations who are looking to keep up to date with the latest research and really dive into the nitty-gritty 1% that take their patient results to the next-level.

We want you to be able to have a good grasp of the content and participate fully, so transparently, I would rate this content as ‘advanced’.

This unique professional investment opportunity will cost you a whole lot less than you might think!

$197 + GST (in AUD) per month for quarterly series only members, for annual members it is $1970 + GST (in AUD) which means you get a 12 month membership but pay for only 10 months (that's 2 months free!)

I am not from Australia, are there recordings if I can’t join live? +


Yes!

Does this membership involve business coaching?+


No. Whilst Stef enjoys business and being coached in business herself. Stef has intentionally created a space free of business advice and discussion of fees, marketing so we can focus 100% on clinical skillset and growth. If you're an annual member, you can discuss business or marketing in your bonus 1-on-1 session instead
If you need a business coach recommendation, let us know and Stef is happy to provide her recommendations.
