The pain of infertility can be brutal, and it’s often hidden from view…
Feeling isolated, hurt, lost.., but putting on a smile & trying your best to keep going…
Or starting to avoid certain people or situations because it feels too hard…
Perhaps no longer enjoying things in the way you once did, as the ache to have your baby takes over your life…
And on top of everything else, the journey feels out of your control.
If this sounds familiar you’re not alone. Many clients share similar struggles when they first get in touch…
It’s spread into every part of my life. Its on my mind all the time & I easily spiral into negative thinking. I can disappear down rabbit holes for hours, even days… and then there’s google (aargh!)
It feels like the triggers are everywhere. And when I’m not trying to handle them I’m anxiously waiting for the next one. It feels like where ever I look there’s a pregnancy announcement, baby shower or news about a new born.
I hate the way it makes me feel – sad, helpless, afraid, jealous, angry, resentful, left behind. And I don’t know how to stop feeling like this.
Hard work in life usually brings results. BUT the harder I try, the more it feels like my goal to have a baby is getting further away.
I walk a tightrope between hope & despair. I’m really afraid to feel hopeful but without hope all the effort can feel pointless.
I’m here to show you that this chapter of your life can look & FEEL very different to this. You absolutely can feel calmer, lighter, resilient & more hopeful about the future. And you don’t need to become superhuman or a different person to do it, you just need the right support.
You probably have a sense that things NEED to change.
It might feel hard to ask for help & you might not even be sure what to ask for. Maybe you’ve tried to go it alone so far, or have struggled through with the help of your family & friends, (who may or may not get it) & your partner, (whose probably finding it hard too).
You’ve probably tried to think positive. And, as a form of self-protection, you’ve also probably told yourself it will never happen, and then worried that you’re getting in your own way. You’ve perhaps tried to get support from online forums, support groups & social media.. with mixed success. And you might have tried self-care, managed it for a while then slipped back into old, unhelpful coping mechanisms to get you through.
So, what if there was a different way?
…where you had expert, caring support & no longer had to muddle through alone. Where you had space to talk & be seen & truly heard. And where you had access to a wealth of resources & proven strategies plus mentoring on how to use them for maximum benefit. This is fertility mindset coaching.
I’m here & have over a decade of experience in this space. I’ve supported hundreds of people through the emotional turmoil of infertility & if you want to explore how we might work together, lets talk!
As a scientist by background, I always consider the research. Whilst it’s limited, and sometimes of variable quality, there is a growing number of studies that point to the benefits of mind-body programs for fertility outcomes.
One small pilot study in 2020 for example, found that women who took part in a 10-week Mind-Body program to mitigate the distress of infertility, were over 4 times more likely to become pregnant than the waiting list control group.2
