Where can we find you?
I practice at Melbourne IVF, 36 Wellington St, Collingwood, Victoria, Australia and on Instagram you can find me at @DrKokum.
Why do you love what you do?
Because every time I help someone grow their family—whether it's with fertility advice, egg freezing, or IVF—I know I'm making a real difference in their life. I’ve walked this path myself, so I understand the emotional highs and lows. Being able to support someone during one of the most vulnerable and meaningful times in their life is a privilege I never take for granted.
Why would someone come and see you?
Because I’ll meet you with both science and heart. Fertility isn’t just about numbers and tests—it’s about your hopes, your story, and your future. My approach is warm, respectful, and deeply personal. Whether you're looking for answers, reassurance, or a clear plan forward, I’m here to listen, guide, and walk beside you every step of the way.
When do you introduce the idea of lubricant with your patients?
Whenever someone is trying to conceive and mentions discomfort during sex, vaginal dryness, or just wants to make intimacy feel more natural. It’s a small detail that can make a big difference, and it’s always worth a gentle, open chat.
What’s your favourite fact about the female body?
That women are born with all the eggs they’ll ever have—millions at birth, and around 300,000 by puberty. It’s incredible to think about the power, complexity, and timing built into our bodies from the very beginning. The female body is resilient, cyclical, and beautifully designed—and it never stops inspiring me.
