FAITH & FLOW

A tailor-made program to support you in optimising your fertility
and restoring your faith in your body.

Let me support you, ‘head, heart and womb’, in optimising your fertility, with tried and tested gentle tools and practices that powerfully harness the natural cycles and rhythms of your own body.

Over the next five months, I will guide you through a transformational journey, exploring and rebalancing the five key areas that are fundamental to creating an optimal environment for conception and for a healthy, resilient pregnancy.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

We will begin the five months together with a 90-minute call over Zoom, followed by fortnightly 1:1 calls. Guided by the wisdom of your body, we will craft a roadmap that will support you in creating the optimal environment to welcome a baby into your life.

In simple, practical steps, I will share with you how to optimise hormonal balance and heal uncomfortable symptoms (physical, mental, or emotional) related to your menstrual cycle. A balanced cycle is the cornerstone of fertility.

I will help you to decode and fine-tune the pattern and rhythm of your menstrual cycle so that you can more accurately pinpoint your ‘fertile window’ each cycle.

I will teach you how to deeply nourish your body through each stage of your cycle, and how to harness the 3-month ‘window of opportunity’ to optimise the health and vitality of your eggs and experience regular, predictable ovulation.

Through the art of Face Reading, I will share with you which of your body’s systems relating to fertility need to be balanced and give you practical daily steps to create that harmony.

With Face Reading, I will also support you in uncovering and releasing any hidden fears and emotional blocks that may be inhibiting your path to conceiving.

With Holistic Pelvic Energy techniques, I will guide you into a deeper connection with your inner landscape to access the wisdom and healing potential that resides here. These techniques are also powerful for clearing past traumas that have left an imprint within the pelvic bowl and wombspace.

I will also guide you on how to experience more restorative sleep, which is foundational for regular ovulation and overall health and vitality.

In addition, over the five months, you will build a library of resources, including visualisations and meditations, prompts for creative explorations, self-massage techniques, and a toolkit of nourishing home practices that will support you every step of the way.

As sperm health is equally impactful, if you have a male partner, he is encouraged to join you for one session per month, so that he can improve his health and vitality and make any necessary changes to support you as a couple in realising your dream of parenthood.

This course IS for you:

• If you are longing to feel supported and accompanied on your fertility journey.
  
  It can feel like a very lonely journey when there are obstacles to conceiving, and going through the monthly rollercoaster of hope and then disappointment when the period comes can result in deep feelings of grief. This program is designed to offer you a cocoon of emotional support and to provide you with practical resources to accompany you through the ups and downs.
  
  
  
  

• If you are ready to take your fertility into your own hands and are motivated and open to engage in a holistic approach.
  
  So often when there are fertility challenges, the focus is predominantly on the anatomy and physiology of the reproductive organs. This program acknowledges that many other factors can interrupt hormonal balance and conception and that emotional stress and trauma can also play in. Drawing on the wisdom of Chinese Medicine, this program will walk you through how to support all of the body’s systems related to fertility.
  
  
  
  

• If you are curious to explore more deeply the messages that your body is sharing.
  
  When conception is elusive it is easy to blame the body and feel that it is failing you. This program will help you to make sense of symptoms you may be experiencing in your cycle and shed light on what your body is trying to express. The body is beautifully complex and incredibly wise and when we begin to partner with it and decode its messages so many shifts are possible.
  
  
  
  

• If you are willing to make changes to your diet and lifestyle to support conception and pregnancy.
  
  None of the body’s systems work in isolation and making adjustments to your diet and lifestyle is a powerful way to create more harmony within the reproductive system, and the body as a whole. All of the cells in the body, including egg and sperm cells are impacted positively or negatively by diet and lifestyle choices, and we can harness this connection by making simple shifts.
  
  
  
  

• If you are ready to jump in wholeheartedly and trust the wisdom of this five-month process.
  
  The beauty of working together over five months is that there is the necessary time and space to implement and integrate what is shared without feeling overwhelmed. Gaining more understanding of your body is hugely valuable but until it is embodied and integrated its impact is limited. This program is carefully crafted to gradually build in simple yet powerful practices in a very specific order to create optimal results. Step by step, it will deepen your understanding of how to support your body and resource you ‘head, heart, and womb’ as you journey towards your dream of conceiving.
  
  
  

This course is NOT for you:

• If you want a quick fix.
  
  Whilst you may well start to experience positive shifts very quickly as you implement the recommendations in this program, it can also take several cycles to do so. It takes at least three months to change the health and quality of your eggs for example, and the same is true for sperm, as both go through a 90-100 day maturation cycle in the lead-up to ovulation, where there is a window opportunity to make a positive impact on their vitality.
  
  
  

• If you do not feel able or willing to make changes to your diet or lifestyle.
  
  The vitality of the reproductive organs is affected by the health and balance of other systems within the body, and fertility challenges are a reflection of a bigger picture. The good news is that you can positively impact your fertility by supporting the other related systems of the body, such as digestion, blood sugar balance, and liver health.
  
  
  
  

• If you do not feel motivated to engage with the course material and recommendations in between the calls.
  
  The more you build the recommendations into your life, the more changes you can expect to experience and vice versa.
  
  
  
  

• If you cannot commit to working together for the full five months.
  
  This program has been carefully crafted and the sequence and pace in which the content is delivered is specifically designed to bring the best results for you.
  
  
  

WAIVER: This program is for educational purposes only and is not a replacement for seeking medical advice. If you have any concerns about your pelvic health or health in general, please consult your doctor or other professional healthcare provider. Never delay seeking medical advice, disregard medical advice, or discontinue medical treatment because of information in this program.

FAQ:

I am going through IVF. Will this program help me?

Yes. The information and practices shared in this program are beneficial for anyone wanting to conceive.

Does this program include advice on IVF and other forms of ART?

No. This program is focused on supporting reproductive health and increasing vitality throughout the body, which is foundational to fertility. It does not include specific advice or information about the different forms of Assisted Reproductive Techniques available. However, the program will be tailored to whichever path you choose and will support your body through the process. Before embarking on any form of ART, I highly recommend you complete at least three months of the Faith & Flow program, ideally the full five months.

What happens if I get pregnant during the program?

If you conceive part way through the program, this will be something wonderful to celebrate, and I will adapt the material to support you in your pregnancy for the remaining months of the program. 

I have had a series of miscarriages. Can this program help me?

Yes. Alongside working with your doctor to rule out any underlying medical causes for miscarriage, this program will support you and your body, physically and emotionally, as you prepare to conceive again. 

I experience PMS and painful periods, but isn’t that normal?

No. Contrary to what is often believed, pain, uncomfortable symptoms, and mood swings related to the menstrual cycle are all signs that there is some imbalance in the flow of hormones and possibly inflammation that when addressed can make all the difference to your fertility. Symptoms and PMS can also indicate nutritional deficiencies and/or imbalances in other related systems of the body that can disrupt the cycle and adversely impact your fertility.

My menstrual cycle is ‘textbook’, I ovulate every cycle, and I do not experience any uncomfortable symptoms or pre-menstrual tension. Countless tests and scans have shown that there is no medical reason for me not to conceive, but it just is not happening. Can this program help me?

Yes. The beauty of the Face Reading aspect of this program is that it can shed light on aspects of your being - emotionally, physically, spiritually, that you might not otherwise even consider to be playing a part in why conception is not happening. Your face is your own unique map and guide and is an invaluable tool to get underneath the surface of what is going on. Additionally, the Holistic Pelvic Energy sessions, also woven through the five-month program, provide a beautiful bridge for you to tap into the deep wisdom of your body and can provide a doorway to insights that might never have occurred to the rational, logical mind. Often, our deepest shifts come when we step out of our heads and truly listen to that deep inner knowing, and these shifts can happen very quickly.

Additionally, it is always important to fully explore the partner's health and their feelings about conception. So often, I have had clients who have done every test under the sun and made enormous efforts to do all they could to support their fertility but to no avail; only then to discover that something with their partner's sperm health, beliefs, or lifestyle was, in fact, interrupting the flow.

I have recently come off the Pill, will this program help my body rebalance?

Yes, this is a great program to take when you stop any form of contraceptive, in order to rebalance your hormones and regulate your returning menstrual cycle. Whilst on the Pill, the monthly bleed is not a true period and the synthetic hormones in the contraceptive do not offer the same wider benefits throughout the body that your own ovulatory hormones do. Beginning to experience ovulatory cycles once more is not only essential for fertility but also enables you to begin to experience these wider benefits again, including benefits for brain health, muscle strength, and bone health, to name just a few. If you have been on the Pill for some time there are likely nutrient deficiencies that are also important to address to optimise fertility.

I am not quite ready to conceive but would like to begin to prepare. Is this program a good fit for me?

Yes. Balancing your hormones and smoothing out any imbalances in your menstrual cycle is foundational to both optimising and preserving your fertility, for when the time comes that you feel ready to conceive in the future.

Will I get pregnant by the end of this program?

If you engage with the material shared and follow the recommendations in this program, you can expect to see tangible shifts in your menstrual cycle and your overall health and vitality. This is the foundation for fertility and setting the stage for a healthy pregnancy. 

However, despite all that we know about biology and reproductive physiology and all that you will learn in this program to support you in conceiving, there is still an element of mystery and magic to conception and its timing that is out of our control. That being said, by coming to deeply understand the rhythms of your menstrual cycle and by addressing anything that is blocking the flow (whether physical, physiological, or emotional), you will be able to more accurately pinpoint your ‘fertile window’ each month and continue to support your body in being ready to conceive, when the stars align.

I have had countless clients over the years share that despite all their ideas about when they ideally wanted to conceive, when they did then come to conceive and go on to have their baby, they could see in hindsight the wisdom and gifts of that timing in ways they could never have foreseen.

By the end of the program, you will be well-resourced and well-equipped to continue moving towards your dream, with many tools to draw upon, and you can also book further individual sessions with me at any time.

ABOUT MY FERTILITY JOURNEY:

I came to this work after many years of intense pain and challenging symptoms relating to my menstrual cycle. I had endometriosis from my early teens and long, irregular cycles, as well as Hashimotos (Autoimmune thyroiditis) and a long history of digestive disharmony and nutrient deficiencies. However, through making the shifts and changes that I share in this program, I harmonised and rebalanced my menstrual cycle and eliminated the painful and challenging symptoms that had plagued me for all those years. Today, my cycles are painless and regular, my ovulation time is clear and predictable, and my autoimmune conditions are calm and managed through diet and lifestyle practices. I conceived my son naturally at age 41 and gave birth to him a month before my 42nd birthday, blessed with a very straightforward physiological labour and birth.

In working to heal my own body, I have gathered a wealth of knowledge and skills, undertaken specialist training, explored and integrated healing practices into my own life, and experienced the enormous benefits of this holistic approach. I would love to share all of this with you and help you restore faith in your body and uncover its deep wisdom, as you prepare the nest to welcome a baby into your life.
