Feel Supported on Your Fertility Journey

 

Embarking on the path to fatherhood is a profound journey. Fertility is often viewed as predominantly a woman's concern, but your involvement as a man is crucial. It's empowering to know that in a relatively short amount of time, you can significantly improve your sperm health, enhancing both conception prospects and pregnancy outcomes.

Our Preconception Programme illuminates the essential roles both partners play in preparing for parenthood. This journey is not solely your partner’s to navigate—it’s a shared quest where your active participation is key.

Why This Matters:

  • Enhance Your Influence: Discover how boosting your sperm health can positively impact your future child’s health and the success of your pregnancy.

  • Mutual Support: Journey together with your partner, gaining the tools and knowledge to make well-informed decisions about your health and family’s future.

  • Prepare for Fatherhood: Equip yourself with the necessary insights to confidently embrace fatherhood, understanding both the scientific and holistic approaches that benefit your fertility and your partner’s.

 

Join us to make fertility a shared journey. At Storka, you're not just enrolling in a programme; you're becoming part of a community that deeply respects and enhances the roles of both partners.

My partner and I had been doing our own research about how we could prepare for our pregnancy, but it was pretty overwhelming. Storka came at the exact right time for us and provided us with the support and fact based material we needed.

Hi there! I'm Adrien and it would be an honour to work with you

My preconception period back in 2019 marked a time of deep exploration into my role as a man in our shared journey towards parenthood. I found myself contemplating not only the kind of father I wanted to be but also what traits and values I wished to pass on to my future child—and which ones I didn’t.
 

As I delved into the biological impact I had on our fertility, the reduction of pregnancy risks, and the health of our future child, my perspective on this period took a major turn. Initially, the weight of a man's responsibility made me anxious, but I soon recognized it as a golden opportunity. My health & wellbeing do really matter.

 

This transformative period was also a time for profound personal growth and awakening. I examined all my habits, understanding not just how to nurture my health and wellbeing to support my fertility, but also why I had these habits in the first place—like my tendency toward sugar addiction. This preconception period became a time to learn to love myself more, recognize my self-worth, and understand that I am worth investing in.

Before this profound shift, my life was characterized by an endless pursuit of career and financial rewards. The sudden loss of a close friend catalysed a dramatic change in my outlook. His last words encouraged me to live beyond societal expectations, to follow my intuition, and to venture into new territories.

Reconnecting with my childhood love for nature, I was drawn to Permaculture. As I immersed myself in its philosophy through extensive reading and countless videos, I realized it reflected how I aspired to live—intentionally, authentically, and in harmony with nature, while maintaining a deep connection to my true self.

Leaving behind the corporate rat race, I embarked on a life enriched with deeper meaning and connection to nature. This philosophy guided me through my preconception journey to fatherhood and now inspires me to support other men on this transformative adventure.
