Holistic and Emotional Support Through Fertility Procedures (Including AI, IUI, and IVF)
My clients have really appreciated receiving holistic care to round things out since fertility treatments and IVF can be very clinical and hard on the body. And often there is not enough time in the appointments to go into emotional things in depth. It can also be supportive to have continuity with a fertility doula which can then transition into birth doula care! Emotional support is a large part of this since fertility journeys can bring up a lot of feelings. It can be a space to check in, let anything off your chest, and shift energies to feel some more ease in your body.
What is FAM (Fertility Awareness Method)?
Fertility awareness method (FAM) is a science-based method that involves tracking body signs to identify fertile days in the menstrual cycle. This allows you to either avoid pregnancy through use of abstinence or barrier methods during that time, or to time intercourse to achieve pregnancy. Key components include monitoring cervical mucous/fluid, tracking basal body temperature, and checking the height and softness of the cervix. FAM is NOT the same as the rhythm method.
I can help you get started and stick with it through check-ins, encouragement, and accountability. I can teach you the science around FAM and to learn how to track the signs of your fertility to plan or avoid conception. This is a beautiful gift to yourself to deepen your body awareness and connection to nature.
Why Cycle Chart?
Doing this practice can help you to live in a way that supports each phase of your cycle and nourish yourself accordingly – connecting with the unique strengths, needs, and wisdoms of each of your inner seasons.
Your menstrual cycle is a vital sign to understand your overall health: cycle charting gives you the data so you can figure out what is going on. This level of body literacy is not something that is taught in sex ed.
This is a wonderful gift to yourself to learn about your cycle, deepen connection with your body, and have autonomy over your reproductive choices in a way that cannot be taken away by the healthcare system and ever changing political climate.
Conscious Conception, Cyclical Living, and Creativity
The moment of conception is as miraculous and monumental as birth itself, and deserves to be treated ceremoniously. This applies whether or not you choose to have children. Having a connection to our creative lifeforce can support us to conceive, gestate, and birth creative projects in our lives. As creator beings, we all (no matter our sex, gender, or fertility status) carry this potential for creating life within us.
Connecting to our cyclical nature can bring a sense of embodiment, play, and creativity! Making art, engaging in your senses, and finding spontaneity in your life can bring lightness through your fertility journey. This is an energy I invite my clients to draw on using somatic tools, playfulness, and coregulation in our sessions.
For couples who are trying to conceive (this includes trans and queer couples), there is a merged energy field of creative lifeforce energy that calls in the spirit of your child. This collective energy field is present even if one or both partners are not biologically related to the child they are calling in.
Conception is sacred no matter how it happens (whether it’s through assisted technologies such as IVF and IUI or naturally). People who are trying to conceive deserve to be held on their sacred journey. My role is to support you emotionally, treat you with reverence, and provide gentle guidance so you feel deeply held, seen, and witnessed. I can also suggest ideas around ceremonies and rituals for conception, connecting with yourself, or connecting with your partner.
