About Zita

Zita West has been involved in fertility and pregnancy now for over 25 years, as a midwife, a nutritional advisor, an acupuncturist and as an author and consultant. Over that time, thousands of couples have come to her for advice on how to get into the best possible shape for all the vital stages of preconception, pregnancy and birth.

Zita originally trained as a midwife, and now combines her practice of midwifery with a firm belief in holistic principles. She is a highly regarded authority on preconception planning, fertility trouble-shooting, pregnancy coaching and birth, and has been the pregnancy and fertility expert on GMTV, The Wright Stuff, Richard & Judy, The F Word, Loose Women and Tonight with Trevor McDonald.

The first Zita West Clinic was set up on Harley Street over ten years ago, to provide couples with advice, support and treatment for the full range of fertility and pregnancy issues from preconception to pregnancy and birth and postnatal care. The Clinic is now based at 37 Manchester Street, London W1.

Zita has written 5 books – Natural Pregnancy, Fertility & Conception, Babycare Before Birth, Zita West’s Guide to Getting Pregnant, and her latest book, Zita West’s Guide to Fertility and Assisted Conception. She also produces her own range of world-leading preconception, antenatal, and postnatal nutritional supplements, as well as relaxation CD's (to help you prepare for each key stage of the reproductive cycle) and clever cosmeceuticals for use during pregnancy and after the birth.
