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 13 years doing two types of fertility massage, and the last 10 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.
