The road to conception can be exciting, scary, overwhelming, frustrating, and exhausting all at once. Every fertility journey is unique and can be filled with unexpected challenges relating to reproductive conditions, unexplained infertility, or pregnancy loss due to miscarriage. No matter the cause of your difficulty, it is normal to feel alone or left behind, sad, anxious, stressed, or a powerful sense of loss of the hope that it would be easy to conceive. It is also normal for it to be extremely difficult to let go of a planned timeline for your pregnancy and you may feel overwhelmed by choices and decisions, and a profound sense of a loss of control.
Infertility is often experienced as:
extremely stressful,
feeling alone or isolated in your experience
feelings of overwhelming sadness or emotionally exhausted
feelings of depression or anxiety
feeling overwhelmed by fertility treatments such as IUI and IVF
feelings of anger, envy or resentment toward others.
My Approach
In our sessions, I help you to let go of control and surrender to the experience of your fertility journey so that it is no longer taking over your life. Our sessions might involve:
o Emotional support: We will explore and make sense of mental and emotional challenges including grief and loss, guilt, anger, shame, and sadness.
o Coping tools: I will help you build the skills you need to manage the stress around your fertility journey and learn tools to help your nervous system come into a parasympathetic state.
o Decision Making: I will support you in deciding whether to seek reproductive technology and interventions including IFV and IUI.
o Womb energy healing: Some clients also choose to incorporate womb energy healing into our work together. Womb healing for fertility is a holistic support that helps you to settle your nervous system, clear energetic and emotional blocks from your womb, bring a feeling of core safety into your womb, and step into your wise feminine self.
