Trying to conceive?
1 in 6 couples experience infertility, and there are SO many reasons why. The journey to conceiving a child can sometimes be long, difficult, and lonely - but it doesn’t have to be. The support of a certified Fertility Doula can help you find the answers you seek, turning the overwhelm and uncertainty into a deeper connection with yourself and your partner. I offer holistic emotional and informational support along your journey to conception whether you’ve just begun trying, you’ve just received an infertility diagnosis, or are doing IVF. As an experienced birth doula and Hypnobirthing practitioner, I can support you through the early weeks of pregnancy (or beyond) as well!
There is no one size fits all approach when it comes to fertility, so together we will:
Look at ALL aspects of you and your lifestyle to see where we can make the most impactful changes
Examine the most recent and reliable sources of evidence based information, so you and your partner can make informed decisions
Share a completely unbiased, nonjudgemental relationship that you may be missing from family and friends
Learn mindfulness and relaxation techniques to cope with anxiety and stress (which is often the biggest fertility hurdle)
You deserve compassionate guidance from a professional who allow you to find a balanced approach to navigating this path. Often once we can find deep connections between the mind and body, it leads us to our babies as well!
Fertility treatments can be VERY expensive and don’t have high success rates. This chart was published in James Schartz’s book “The Mind-Body Fertility Connection: The True Pathway to Conception”. Often, when a mind-body program is combined with other holistic therapies the success rate can be even higher. Especially in the case of those with an unexplained infertility diagnosis.
| Procedure | Typical Success Rate | Average Cost |
|---|---|---|
| IUI | 2-8% | $500-1,000 |
| IVF | 28% | $12,00-25,000 |
| Mind-Body Program | 42-65% | $500-2,000 |
