ABOUT ME


Jodi Author

I am currently on a hiatus as I am completing my Masters degree.

However, here is a little bit about me…

I am passionate about nature, spirituality and empowering women.

I’ve worked in various different spaces over the years, from the environmental and social development field, to life coaching and creating emotional/spiritual support resources for women for those navigating infertility and pregnancy. 

I am the founder of the Fertility Books South Africa online bookstore, a small space where women that caters specifically for women who are trying to conceive (TTC), pregnant or are new mothers. Our store also carries a range of fertility-focused books – both new and pre-loved – that cover the various aspects of the fertility and pregnancy journey, including infertility and pregnancy loss.

I am a passionate and prolific writer, something that I hope will come in handy while writing my Masters dissertation.

I’ve published 7 books. My new book, When the Swallows Return, will be published in January 2025. Keep an eye out for it!

Mending Softly – Finding Hope & Healing After Ectopic Pregnancy Loss, which remains my best selling book, won the award for Best Fertility Book in the European Fertility Society’s 2021 Fertility Care Awards
