Infertility
Helping You to Overcome Infertility
Failure to conceive is an increasing problem in modern times, and many couple resort to an expensive, and not necessarily successful, course of IVF treatment. There are many factors involved in the problem of infertility, but one of the major ones is the modern phenomenon of stress. Hypnotherapy can be used, for both men and women, to reduce stress and to increase the likelihood of conception. Hypnotherapists talk directly to the subconscious mind, bypassing the conscious mind, and can prepare the clients for successful conception, by working on the hidden factors that have been making this difficult in the past.
The Fertile Body Method
The fertile body method combines hypnosis and other mind-body approaches to help identify and address the mental, emotional and physical factors which affect fertility and reduce the negative effects of infertility.
Approximately one in six couples in the United Kingdom is having problems conceiving and many of them are actively seeking help. There are many possible factors that affect fertility which is why an integrated approach combining physical, mental and emotional interventions seems more likely to produce positive results and help make fertility problems much easier for people to deal with. The role of the mind and the emotions in fertility is a vital one that is often overlooked. Hypnosis is one of the most effective tools for helping the mind to support the body to conceive and give birth, as well as to help people to cope better with the experience of infertility.
What is hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a trance state induced through focusing on thoughts, feelings, images,sounds or sensations. Hypnotherapy uses this deep state of relaxation to create change on an unconscious level, using visualisation, suggestions and other analytical tools.
How can the Fertile Body help fertility?
Problems with conception and pregnancy can occur when the mind and/or body have temporarily lost their natural state of balance and harmony. This imbalance may be caused by mental, emotional, spiritual or physical factors, all of which are inter-connected, and may be further affected by ongoing internal processes as well as external factors such as diet and environment. The Fertile Body Method uses hypnosis and mind-body approaches to enhance your fertility and to help you to deal with the negative effects of infertility. Since everyone is unique and each person's circumstances are different, the treatment will be tailored to suit you and help you achieve the outcome you want.
