Fertility & Preconception Support

An Individual Approach

​

Every fertility journey is different, so support should be individual too. I take time to look at your health history, menstrual cycle, nutrition, digestion, sleep, stress and lifestyle, as well as any fertility investigations or treatment you may be undergoing. The aim is to look at the whole picture and identify areas where we can support your health as you prepare for conception.

 

Reflexology for Fertility

​

Reflexology has an important role in my work with women who are trying to conceive. Treatments are tailored to the individual and can be used throughout the preconception journey, whether you are trying to conceive naturally or preparing for assisted fertility treatment.

Fertility reflexology focuses particularly on the reflexes associated with the reproductive and endocrine systems, while also working the whole body. I take into account where you are in your menstrual cycle and adapt the treatment accordingly.

Stress can also become a significant part of the fertility journey. Reflexology gives the body and nervous system an opportunity to deeply relax, while providing regular, individual support throughout what can often be an emotionally demanding time.

​

Herbal Medicine & Nutrition

​

Herbal medicine allows us to look more deeply at your overall health and what may be contributing to menstrual or hormonal imbalance. During a consultation, I look at areas including your menstrual cycle, digestion, bowel health, nutrition, energy, sleep, stress and lifestyle rather than viewing fertility in isolation.

Where appropriate, an individual herbal prescription may be prepared specifically for you, alongside nutrition and lifestyle recommendations.

Preconception nutrition is also an important part of preparing the body for pregnancy. We can look at your current diet and make practical changes to ensure you are getting the nourishment you need while supporting your overall health.

 

Trying to Conceive Naturally

​

If you are trying to conceive naturally, we can work with your menstrual cycle and look at your health in the months leading up to conception.

Depending on your individual needs, support may include regular fertility reflexology, herbal medicine, nutrition and lifestyle changes. The approach is not the same for every woman and will depend on your health history, cycle and circumstances.

​

IVF & Assisted Fertility Treatment

​

Reflexology can also be incorporated alongside IVF, IUI and other assisted fertility treatments. Treatments can be adapted around the different stages of your fertility treatment and provide ongoing physical and emotional support throughout the process.

If you are taking fertility medication, it is important that I know exactly what you are taking and where you are in your treatment cycle. Herbal medicines are considered separately and may not be appropriate alongside certain fertility medications or at particular stages of treatment.

 

Supporting You Through the Journey

​

Fertility can become all-consuming, particularly when you have been trying to conceive for some time. My role is to provide a space where we can look at you as a whole person, not simply at fertility in isolation.

Whether you come for reflexology, a herbal consultation or a combination of approaches, the support is tailored to you and where you are in your journey.
