Preconception/ Fertility

I’m obviously not the person to get you pregnant, but I can help you set the stage. By learning to chart your fertility signals, we can maximize your chance of conception based on each cycle.

By doing preconception/fertility massage before pregnancy, we can align your reproductive organs in their proper position, increase circulation and help your hormones, and prepare your pelvic floor to carry and birth a baby.

I want conception to be easy for you, but it’s even more important to me that you’re healthy. I have a bigger goal than fertility: I want you to have a healthy full-term pregnancy, healthy birth, and a happy baby. I’ve spent the last 10 years doing two types of fertility massage, and the last 8 years learning how to read, evaluate, and offer holistic solutions for any type of cycle, including “normal” cycles, anovulatory cycles, and one of my favorite mysterious scenarios . . . PCOS.

You should work with me if you:

  • Have regular cycles and healthy periods

  • Have irregular cycles, hormone imbalances, PCOS, or endometriosis

  • Are stopping birth control

  • Have scar tissue from previous surgery or birth

  • Are just thinking about preparing your body for conception down the road

  • Are “trying but not trying”

  • Have been trying for a while and are surprised pregnancy hasn’t happened yet

  • Have a partner with low sperm count or slow movers

  • Are considering fertility treatments

  • Are actively doing IUI or IVF

 

important note:

Ideally, I would love to work with you for 3 months before you start trying to conceive. I know that seems like a long time and that you want to get pregnant now, especially if you’ve already been trying for a while. It takes 3 months for both the sperm and egg to mature, and I think that gives us a pretty good window to make lifestyle changes that will support your fertility. However, of course I am happy to meet you where you are right now.. It’s your body, and your baby.
