Disconnection

D I S C O N N E C T I O N… from friends, from family, from work colleagues… this can be a big one and often shows up when going through infertility.  The feeling of disconnection often has its roots in situations where personal fertility struggles are poorly acknowledged, misunderstood, discounted or even ignored.

As a fertility coach with a focus on emotional health & wellbeing, I think about this statement everyday, and it is a guiding principle in the work I do.

Have you told your Story?

This post carries on a theme I began yesterday and is inspired by the stories of my fertility clients…. Some stories we may never want to share, and that feels right. But others can feel like an unbearable burden to carry on our own.

Sharing our painful and difficult stories, can bring … Read More Fertility Coaching – Start by telling your Story

With Our Minds we Make Our World

What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, and our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow: Our life is the creation of our mind. With our thoughts we … Read More With Our Minds we Make Our World

You Are Not Alone

“You are not alone”…. This is one of my close friends favourite phrases. As human beings we have a basic need to connect with others. But perhaps when we need this connection most, during times of distress and suffering, we can become locked in our own heads, thoughts circling and spiralling towards our worst fears. With this comes loss of perspective and loneliness, and … Read More You Are Not Alone

For those on this pathway it is so important to remember that you are not alone. As a fertility coach I talk with my clients about how … Read More Becoming your own best friend…

The Life of a Fertility Coach involves emotional self-care too..

As a fertility coach I often talk to my clients about emotional self-care. And if I talk the talk I also have to walk the walk. So I practice what I preach. I use a whole range of techniques and practices to ensure I look after my own emotional wellbeing and spending time outside every day is one of my favourite ways to press … Read More The Life of a Fertility Coach involves emotional self-care too..
