You are SO READY to step into this next phase of your life and instead you’re stuck in this weird limbo land.

You are doing ALL. THE. THINGS. and still nothing is happening. Or maybe you’ve been pregnant and then lost your much longed for baby. Either way your arms ache to hold your child.

You don’t know if you can take much more.

I can definitely relate to the above. During our second round of fertility treatment I had my first panic attack on the London Underground.

I was suffering from extreme anxiety, depression, insomnia and digestive problems.

I was at rock bottom

I just couldn’t do this any more, it was just too hard. From the first moment I woke up in the morning all I could think about was the fact that I was infertile and it was so unfair.

The friends that did know we were trying (I mainly kept it a closely guarded secret) were saying things like:

I knew that my stress levels were through the roof but I didn’t know HOW to relax, I didn’t know HOW to release the fear that I might never get to hold my own baby.

I was determined to find out so I joined a stress reduction course. As the weeks passed, the panic attacks stopped and the depression lifted.

I became absorbed by the research on stress in regards to infertility and how you can enhance fertility using the mind-body link.

Here's what I found:

Did you know that women undergoing fertility treatment experience the same level of stress, anxiety and depression as women who have cancer, HIV or heart disease?

Did you know that women suffering from depression, stress and anxiety are twice as likely to have problems conceiving?

And women who have experienced at least one unsuccessful IVF cycle and had depressive symptoms before continuing IVF treatment experienced a lower success rate than women who did not experience depressive symptoms.*

The flip side

The flip side of this being that introducing ways of reducing stress can improve your quality of life while trying to conceive or going through treatment. Studies indicate that if you alleviate anxiety and depression in infertile women it appears to make it easier for them to become pregnant.

I left my career in design and retrained as a therapist and for the past eight years, I have worked to raise the level of understanding about this diagnosis – from the debilitating emotional impact and the overwhelming feelings of sadness, helplessness and grief. To the simple yet powerful mind-body techniques that provide relief and build resilience during this highly emotive time and greatly increase the chances of conceiving.

Imagine feeling calm and confident that you are doing everything in your power to support your body in conceiving and carrying your baby.

Imagine working through the conscious, unconscious, physical and energetic blocks that may be preventing you from getting or staying pregnant.

Imagine not only living your life but loving your life even before seeing those two little lines.

Imagine once you are pregnant being able to enjoy it rather than worrying and counting down the days until your next scan.

All of this is possible. I know because I did it.

Learning and practising the mind body techniques I now teach allowed me to become the happiest I had ever been BEFORE I saw those two little lines.

I got pregnant on our fourth round of fertility treatment but then miscarried and instead of plummeted back into depression I felt calm and strong.

Through my professional therapy training and experience in supporting women struggling with infertility for the past 11 years I have created The Embrace Fertility Method™.

 You may have tried some of these techniques in the past and loved them or loathed them. It’s not that they don’t work for you, you just need a tried and tested method of applying them in the correct order in a way that allows each technique to enhance and build on the one previous.

Enhance Modules 

Pick what you need when you need it

1: Coping with Jealousy

I have decided to include this bonus on coping with jealousy as for me this was one of the most difficult things to deal with and if you shift this your whole energy shifts.

2:Reconnecting with your partner

How you show love and how your partner shows love can be two very different things!

3: Healing loss and grief

Beautiful and comforting techniques to deal with the heartache of a infertility and miscarriage.

“The course took me out of feeling depressed about my fertility problems. The biggest shift for me has been feeling like it was possible for me to be a mother and not so hopeless about what I have been through so far. It took away some of the pain.” – Ruth Embrace Member

4:Clearing Fears of labour and birth

This is a biggy and so worth addressing during infertility. Includes the first week of my hypnobirthing course.

5:Art Therapy Module

The health benefits of art therapy and how to use art for clearing and creating.

Mother’s Day, Christmas, our birthdays, weddings and family celebrations are a time when it is really difficult not to think about how we had expected our lives to turn out. I share numerous techniques for not only surviving but thriving during holidays and family gatherings.

10 BONUSES 

BONUS 1: Hypnosis for Pain Relief

It might surprise you to learn that hypnosis can give complete relief from pain. This works due to the fact that pain is subjective. The body sends sensory messages to the brain via our nerves and spinal-cord. Our mind then processes that information and sends impulses back down from the brain with messages to amplify, diminished or ignore those physical sensations. Painkilling drugs intercept these messages and lessen our experience of the physical sensation. Hypnosis works in the same way by intercepting these messages and instructing our unconscious, the part of us which controls all of our bodily functions, to diminish or ignore them therefore giving us relief.

BONUS 2: Deep Rest – Supercharge your sleep

Nourish your mind and body with deep rest and replenishing sleep with this magical MP3.

“I’ve been resting/meditating/taking 15 mins out of my life with Naomi’s Yoga Nidra practice since October last year when I attended one of her One Day Retreats. The retreat was amazing, but the gift of Yoga Nidra I use almost daily. Never just before bed because I leave my phone in the kitchen, but normally immediately when I’ve finished work or early evening I will rest with the Yoga Nidra and then I always, without fail, feel refreshed! Thank you, Naomi, for giving me such a wonderful tool, which has had a big impact on the way I feel.” – Donna T.

BONUS 3 : Yoga class videos.

Three pre-recorded one calming, one for the 2 week wait and one for early pregnancy.

BONUS 4 : Quantum flow

Three pre-recorded 30 minute Quantum flow practises to allow us to feel grounded and connected, release what is not useful to us, and call in what we desire, on a physical and energetic level with the fabulous Pippa Moss.

“Pippa’s quantum flow classes are very calming yet powerful. She gently guides you through the techniques and I feel very supported and held by her even though watching a video. I love the way I feel by the end of the class and the tingles in my body. I enjoy having a physical way to connect to my inner being as I spend the majority of the time in my head. These classes give me a new way to switch off the chatter and tune in with myself. I love the music too and am excited to share Pippa with my fertility clients.” – Naomi 

BONUS 5: The Connection Film

This is an amazing film about the mind-body link and I have arranged a license so that Embrace Fertility members can watch it as part of the course. 

BONUS 6: Natural Cycle and IVF Cycle Hypnosis Packs

Coping & comfort (Days 1 – 5): Incorporating simple techniques to bring your body out of stress response, including one for pain relief.

Creating space & conception (Days 6 – 16): Releasing resistance and negative beliefs, enhancing feelings of love and gratitude, and visualising the process of conception be that naturally or with assistance.

Connection & support (Day 17+): Supporting you through the two week wait, bringing your body into deep relaxation and connecting with your body, your future child and your inner strength. 

“I have just done the Coping and Comfort hypnosis and feel like I’m in a blissful cloud of calm.” – Jos

“This hypnosis package has been amazing, it has brought me back to a calm and relaxed state every time I’ve gotten anxious, particularly through the 2 week wait. It’s had such a profound impact that I now generally feel calmer. I recommend it to anyone who is pursuing IVF, it’s one of the best investments I’ve made. We have been fortunate enough to have a successful second round of IVF and just wanted to thank you for your help.” – Preet

BONUS 7: I will teach you how to use Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) for supercharging your personal development and you will have access to a libary of tap along EFT videos on a host of topics such as fear of birth, overcoming jealousy and dissolving concerns and beliefs such as ‘I’m too old to have a baby’, ‘What if I’m a bad mum?’ and ‘I feel out of control’. 

“I was feeling afraid of my upcoming IVF failing, so I did one of the EFT videos from the library and realised it was because I was predicting the outcome to be the be all and end all. i.e, if it failed that meant the final answer on if I would ever be a mum, like failing a test. The EFT video released that emotion and turned those thoughts around, then I felt optimism and less pressure and fear around the treatment.” – Becky Embrace Member

BONUS 8: Three months membership to The Embrace Circle online support community 

A safe space to connect and share your experiences throughout the course and beyond. Lasting friendships are made in this group. 

“I joined Embrace as I wanted to find acceptance that I may never conceive or carry to term a child. What I got was friendship in general, and the friendship that Karen and I built when we were pregnant together and continuing into motherhood. Totally unexpected but I’m very grateful.” – Heather Embrace Member

Please note both the support group and the group calls are a female only circle. Men are very welcome to take the course although the majority of the content is aimed at the partner who will be carrying the baby. I can recommend male support groups.

BONUS 9: Six live group meditation/coaching calls spread over the 3 months. 

“I don’t know anyone else who has been through this, so it was great to connect with others who had.” – Rebecca Embrace Member

“I LOVED doing the exercises as a group.” – Nicole Embrace Member

BONUS 10: Early Pregnancy Resources

Early pregnancy yoga, morning sickness relief MP3, hypnosis and visualisation for pregnancy MP3 and affirmations for pregnancy MP3.

What if I join and change my mind?

You can join for 21 days and then if you feel the course really isn’t for you I will give you a full refund. I ask you to commit fully during these three weeks to really give yourself the best possible chance at allowing the shift that inevitably comes with doing this type of self exploration.

The pilot of The Embrace Fertility Method course was created while I was going through infertility and IVF myself. It documented the shift I experienced, the learning to let go. Following the course I conceived my son naturally after 46 months of trying to conceive, four rounds of fertility treatment and a miscarriage. My daughter was also conceived naturally on the first try 23 months later.

I add adapted and added to the course over the years to give you an even deeper experience and offer additional support if you would like it.
