- Fertility Therapist -

Going through fertility issues can be a lonely and devastating time, even if you're sharing the journey with a partner. 

​

What starts as an exciting decision can quickly turn into a pressure cooker of emotions.  Putting your life on hold as you do everything you possibly can to conceive and carry a baby to term.  And unless you've been through it personally it's hard to truly understand the daily, weekly & monthly internal and external struggles.

 

I get it, I've been where you are right now, in the trenches of TTC and I want you to know there is another way where you can safely let go of the emotional burn out and instead foster a sense of peace and calm on the journey and actually improve your chances of a healthy conception and pregnancy whilst you're at it. 

 

​So, if you’re ready to do your fertility journey differently; build the foundations of fertility, learn coping tools and strategies and clear any emotional and energetic blocks to conception, so that you can not only survive but thrive again... I've got you.​

What the Research Says...
  • Approx. 1 in 5 couples experience fertility challenges and 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage and rates of IVF are only on the up. 

  • ​In a 1993 study, it was found that women experiencing infertility have global anxiety and depression scores equivalent to = cancer, cardiac & hypertension patients. 

  • A 2006 case control study found that hypnosis during IVF embryo transfer more than doubled the success rate (in terms of increased implantation and clinical pregnancy rates).  Furthermore the patients attitude toward treatment was more favourable.  Dr Levitas hypnothesized that hypnosis helps a womans uterus to remain relaxed allowing the embryo to implant more easily. 

  • Written in the Journal of American Medical Womens Association (1999, vol. 54); 'Infertile' women who utilise mind and body techniques have a 42-55% higher conception rate. 

  • A 2012 study found that women with lower stress hormone at the time of artificial reproductive technology retrieval and transfer had increased pregnancy and live birth rates​​​.

  • ​In a 2014 study, it was found that hypnosis was effective in dealing with the emotional stress and depression associated with assissted reproductive technology.

  • A 2015 study found that mindfulness based interventions on fertility, quality of life and pregnancy rates among IVF patients it was shown that women who participated in mindfulness based interventions revealed a significant increase in coping strategies, had increased pregnancy rates & were more able to adapt and regulate their emotions.

  • Studies have found that women who have experienced recurrent miscarriage (3 or more losses), who sought professional support had significantly higher pregnancy success rates than those who didn't.

My Story
My Story

My own fertility journey started in 2008 when my husband and I decided to start a family.  We were both young and healthy and assumed we would conceive quickly and easily.  When I didn’t conceive in those first three months I was honestly surprised and confused.  The story I was led to believe growing up was that if you had unprotected sex, you were certain to fall pregnant! 

 

Each and every month I didn’t conceive became harder and harder emotionally, I spent countless hours researching, trying to figure out what I had done wrong.  I spent a fortune on products, supplements, appointments and tests.  I became reclusive and stopped doing the things I use to enjoy.  I put my life on hold ‘just in case’ I conceived or so I could conceive.  I turned our life upside down making every possible effort to fall pregnant and the only result was feeling more hopeless, miserable and stuck.

 

People told me to ‘stop putting pressure on yourself, it will happen!’, ‘go on a holiday’, ‘stop trying’.  And to be really honest, as frustrating as it was to hear, somewhere I knew what they were saying was right, but I just had no idea how to make that change for myself. 

 

Eventually after a year, whilst on holidays (not 'trying') we conceived, but unfortunately our excitement was short lived and ended in miscarriage along with our next 4 pregnancies.  The emotional and physical toll on my body, my life, my relationships seemed unbearable at times, it was like being on a never-ending roller coaster of highs, lows, fluctuating hormones and head spins.

 

I changed my care provider and after more extensive testing was told nothing was wrong.  I conceived again, anxious as hell.  This time I did something different though, I got some professional emotional support in early pregnancy which made me feel in calmer and more in control of my journey and in February 2011, my daughter Mia was born.

 

We attempted to conceive a sibling for Mia but had another devastating miscarriage.  After requesting copies of all previous test results and switching providers, there bolded and highlighted was the answer we’d been searching for (immunological issues impacting fertility - Mia truly was and is a miracle).  With treatment and good emotional support I went on to conceive my 2nd daughter Lilly in 2013.

 

During my journey it was clear to me that there was not enough information and support for those moving through fertility challenges, so in 2018 I decided to change career to become a Therapist specialising in Fertility.  Since then I have studied Clinical Hypnotherapy, Pschotherapy, HypnoFertility, HypnoBirthing, Life Coaching, NLP, EFT, EMDR and more.

 

I have now welcomed my son Phoenix into the world in 2019 which was such a different, wonderful, connective and conscious conception, where I truly lived what I teach.

 

My journey has taught me so much and today I am honoured to provide my clients with incredible support and guidance in their fertility journey and help them to welcome new longed for life into this world.
