If I start treatment with you, do I need to wait before trying to conceive?
“I’m desperate to get pregnant. Should I wait a month or two while you treat me before trying again?”
This conversation is one I have on a regular basis with my clients, usually very soon after we’ve just met and you’ve told me how much you want to conceive, how long you’ve been trying and what kind of issues you’re facing.
I know from personal and professional experience that when a woman wants to conceive, she wants it that very month. Once you’ve made that momentous decision to bring a new soul into the world, you don’t want to get your period.
You want a positive pregnancy test and NOW!
Especially if you’ve already been trying for a while by the time we meet.
That desire for a child can be so strong. Isn’t that why so many women put themselves through gruelling and sometimes invasive fertility treatments. Yes, we want it so badly we will do almost anything…..except wait a month or two.
Holistic treatment is different to conventional medical treatment. Most medical treatment is aimed at treating the symptoms and achieving a particular goal – in this case pregnancy.
Holistic treatment at its very core is about helping your body move back into balance, with the expectation that when your body is balanced and all your bodily systems are working optimally, if you desire pregnancy you can achieve it.
Nudging the body back into balance sometimes takes time and sometimes doesn’t have a linear path. It can require patience, trust and resilience. However, the payoffs are huge.
When you tell me you want to get pregnant, what you’re really telling me is you want to give birth to a healthy baby. And giving birth to a healthy baby means you have to prepare the ground for
That goal is much broader than just getting pregnant.
I would go even further and suggest that in addition to a healthy pregnancy and baby, you also want an easy postpartum period and a healthy relationship with your partner (assuming there is one).
My teacher, Rosita Arvigo, always says the goal is a healthy mother, healthy baby and healthy relationship. After all, this baby you are dreaming of is being born into a family and we want the best for it.
Since trying to conceive and especially fertility treatments can be especially challenging in relationships, taking a little bit of time up front to get into your best health possible can make a significant difference further down the track.
And what if you don’t want to wait?
That’s okay, too. I give my new clients the option. You decide what is best for you and your circumstances. Your age and other factors are going to influence your decision and once you decide what you want, we dive in and start working together to help you hold that precious baby in your arms as soon as possible.
As strongly as I believe that what I do helps women prepare their bodies before pregnancy, I know that womb massage (Sobada), reflexology, EFT Tapping and other therapies I practice help you during the active trying to conceive period by increasing blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, reducing stress and the side effects of fertility medication.
My clinic is a judgement free zone that is a safe place for you to express the frustration, challenges and other negative feelings that might arise during fertility treatments.
I want my clients to feel supported wherever they are in their journey to motherhood.
I’m a holistic therapist and I am here to help you!
I love helping women to overcome their fertility challenges and other issues related to your cycles, pregnancy, periods and/or anxiety.
I treat women with abdominal and womb massage techniques known as Sobada (formally the Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Massage) and reflexology.
I’m also an Advanced EFT Tapping practitioner and I work with women in particular issues around anxiety, depression, stress levels.
I teach Fertility Awareness to help women better know their bodies and improve their chances of conceiving or prevent pregnancy naturally.
I live in Modi’in, Israel and that’s where I spend my days helping women during their fertile years, pregnancy, menopause and other hormonal conditions. Bodywork sessions (massage and reflexology take place in my clinic in Modi’in but EFT Tapping sessions and Fertility Awareness education can take place online or in person).
