Fertility clients are recommended to book in for the initial consultation, either individually or as a couple. I work with clients at all stages of fertility, from preconception planning, supporting natural conception whether you have just started trying or have been trying for years; through to all stages of assisted conception.
During the detailed initial consultation, I gather information regarding physical and emotional health, lifestyle factors as well as a details of your reproductive history, including results of any medical tests, where you are in terms of assisted .
This consultation then informs which treatments I feel will be best suited for you, either Reproductive Reflexology or Gentle Release Therapy, and how frequently I would recommend you have treatments. This could change throughout the course of your treatment programme and we will work together to find what is best for you.
After the initial consultation I will provide nutrition and lifestyle advice for both partners, and information regarding charting your cycle, including ongoing charting support.
I can also recommened any further testing that can be offered by your GP or your clinic that they may not already have covered. The more information that you can gather the better able we will be able to plan next steps to support you.
Fertility and reproductive issues can be complex and may not have a single or obvious cause. Complementary and holistic therapists come to look at these issues by spending more time with an individual or couple to get an understanding of how their physical and emotional health may be impacting their fertility.
Reproductive Reflexology (or Reproflexology TM) uses specific and prescriptive treatment protocols to address fertility health for both men and women. The treatments use techniques that aim to support people suffering from reproductive conditions, alleviating symptoms and optimising reproductive health.
If you would like to read a bit more about this approach see the Association of Reproductive Reflexologists website.
Gentle Release Therapy could be considered a mixture of Energy Work and Acupuncture (without the needles), which combined with additional techniques creates a synergy that allows the body to release tensions, emotions and traumas held more deeply in the body. For some fertility clients I have found that this work can be beneficial to make a shift in emotional blockage and can be used alongside the Reproflexology protocols supporting healthy cycles and preparing for pregnancy.
