The best time to prepare for pregnancy is before you start trying.
GROW is one 1:1 preconception programme with three levels of support, for women and couples, ideally starting 3 to 6 months before trying to conceive. We build your nutrient stores, steady your cycle and get you both ready.
- Online across New Zealand and Australia
- Three levels of support: Core, Precision, Partner
- For you, and your partner too
With Kirstie Vesseur, Registered Clinical Nutritionist (CNA 9906326)
This is for you if
- You're planning to start trying for a baby in the next 3 to 6 months
- You want to go into pregnancy with your nutrient stores topped up, not running on empty
- Your cycle is irregular, painful or hard to read, and you want to understand it
- You want your partner involved, because preparation is a team effort
- You want to know which prenatal and which folate form suit you, not just grab one off the shelf
It's not for you if you're already pregnant or need fertility treatment advice. GROW works alongside your GP, midwife or fertility specialist, not instead of them.

Your questions, answered
Which level is right for me?
Core suits most women starting out. Precision is for unexplained infertility, loss or IVF, where hormone testing adds real value. Partner is for couples who want to prepare together. We choose together at your free assessment.
When should I start?
Ideally 3 to 6 months before you start trying. Egg and sperm take around three months to mature, so that's the window that counts.
Does my partner need to be involved?
It helps, because sperm health matters too. Every level includes a partner sperm health guide. GROW Partner adds your partner's own Comprehensive DNA Analysis, a 60 minute partner consult and their own plan.
Will you tell me which prenatal to take?
Yes. I'll recommend a good-quality prenatal and explain why, including why I prefer methylfolate over folic acid for many women.
Can GROW help me get pregnant?
I can't promise a pregnancy. What we can do is build the foundations that support a healthy conception and pregnancy, alongside your medical care.
I'm doing IVF or seeing a fertility specialist. Can I still join?
Yes. GROW can sit alongside your treatment. I'll work with your plan and can write to your specialist with your permission.
