Whilst IVF has provided a route to parenthood for many men and women who might otherwise have been unable to conceive, for many couples the process can be stressful and somewhat alienating.
Conception can quickly become a litany of tests, appointments and medication and it’s easy to become detached from your body, seeing it as a series of test results and medical diagrams rather than your ally in your path to parenthood. After all, IVF is a partnership between nature and medical technology and, ultimately, it is you and your body that will provide a safe space to grow your healthy baby.
IVF focusses largely on the physical process of conception but there is, of course, an emotional and mental component to bringing a baby into the world and it’s crucial to address this.
Hypnotherapy can provide you with tools and techniques which enable you to access the inner resources you need to maximise the effectiveness of your IVF treatment. It can help you to visualise and focus on a positive outcome; clear any blocks or limiting beliefs; help you to find a positive relationship with your body and teach you the tools you need to support your psychological and emotional needs.
The Fertile Body Method is designed to support you and enhance the effectiveness of each phase of IVF with six sessions (this can be tailored to suit your schedule and budget).Each session will be an opportunity for you to identify your needs and fears at this time, learn techniques to support address these and enjoy a guided visualisation to prepare your mind and body. Mental rehearsal has been proven by neuroscience to activate the same neurons as the real event.
'Two years ago I called Kerry in desperation to get through the emotional turmoil of infertility and trying to get pregnant. As a female we have to reach out to each other in this hard time because as much as your husband/ partner/ soul mate will do his absolute best to support and love you...it's tough on them too to see you so upset. Kerry helped me right up until little Lyla arrived. Truly the BEST fertility and women's health coach in my eyes! Thankyou for everything.'
