Toyin’s desire is for everyone she comes in contact with to have at least one baby.

She stepped out of Corporate HR in October 2019 to fully face her passion, which is working with couples that are trying to conceive. She lends her voice strongly in support of demystifying infertility & reducing its attending stigma, promoting assisted conception treatments, holistic fertility management, and is an advocate for legislation & regulation of the fertility management sector.
