Unexplained Infertility?

While sitting in an Active Birth Yoga class, I listened with interest to a lady’s story of enduring 8 years of IVF treatment which never worked, being on the brink of adoption and how she became pregnant without intervention. When sharing this story with others, I repeatedly hear other almost identical stories. This set me on a quest to find out more about connections between emotional health and fertility/conception.

There’s an increasing need for assisted fertility in our society. While some factors such as maternal age can be a contributory factor, many times the reasons why have remained a mystery.

Many couples trying to conceive are unaware that there are a host of alternate practitioners who can assist BOTH males and females to optimise their reproductive systems.

Fertility is a natural process – therapies such as naturopathy, herbal medicine, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), acupuncture can help regulate abnormal menstrual cycles (100+ days) to normal cycles (28-30 days) to name just one aspect.

And yet for some, this just isn’t enough.

Since opening my clinic doors, I have noticed some interesting trends amongst those in the child-bearing years. One such trend is a common thread of PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), strained relationships with the woman’s mother and often a fear of ‘becoming my mother’.

These fears are very potent and one needs to question how the body reacts to such fears and what it does to compensate.

‘PCOS is the most common hormonal reproductive problem in women of childbearing age…

An estimated five to 10 percent of women of childbearing age have PCOS.’

I offer a safe and nurturing environment for both partners to explore any emotional or mental barriers to fertility and conception.
