Fertile Body Method

As an accredited Fertile Body Method Practitioner (FBM), I specialise in supporting women and their partners through their fertility journey. FBM is a recognised program that uses specific hypnosis and mind/body approaches to address the mental, emotional and physical factors which may be affecting your fertility. Hypnotherapy can allow you to access a relaxed and receptive state that we can use to facilitate inner change, which can impact positively on your physical wellbeing and fertility.

How Can The Fertile Body Method Help?

The FBM can help enhance fertility by:

• Reducing stress and increasing feelings of calm and relaxation
• Restoring physical, mental and emotional balance and wellbeing
• Balance can be restored through relaxation, positive cognitive changes, visualisation and changes to diet, exercise and lifestyle
• Restoring hormonal balance, regulating the natural balance in the autonomic nervous system, regulating and restoring healthy immune system function
• Creating balance in the body can be further enhanced by creating balance in thinking. Decreasing negative self talk and excessive worry will help restore emotional and physical balance and ensure that these changes are maintained.
• Identifying and resolving issues which may be preventing conception (unconscious or conscious resistance).

Preparing the couple for conception by helping them:

• to make necessary changes to lifestyle, diet, smoking, alcohol and exercise habits
• to feel confident and ready for parenthood
• to Improve intimacy and sexual relationship (for natural conception)
• restore menstrual health, or sperm mobility and count
• prepare for IVF or other fertility treatment

The FBM can help enhance fertility by:
