Natural Fertility Support
We know that the health of the mother and father at conception will have an effect on the pregnancy, and the health outcomes of the baby. The journey of the egg and sperm begins around 3 months before they are ready to meet each other, which is why we look at making any lifestyle changes, and having therapy, a couple of months before conception. After nearly 25 years of working with fertility, at Blossom Natural Health we understand the range of emotions that come with the journey, and are here to offer a safe space for you to connect with and process those feelings, because no emotion was ever successfully swept under the rug.
Male Fertility
There is still a tendency for women to presume that fertility issues must be an issue that lies with them. This is not the case. The sperm that makes it through to the egg needs to deliver half of the DNA to form a whole new human. Your health will determine whether or not you conceive, how healthy the pregnancy is, and how healthy your baby is. We use a combination of acupuncture, CranioSacral therapy and abdominal massage to help improve your sperm parameters. Sperm production is around a 3-month long process, we will also look at the attainable, sustainable lifestyle changes that you can make to improve your chances of conceiving a healthy baby.
Treatments that we may use include:
Female Fertility
Anyone who has been trying to conceive for some time will know how all-consuming it can become. The joy of embodied love-making can turn into a project managed, time sensitive sperm meets egg mission. Whether you have a diagnosis of PCOS, endometriosis, fibroids or ‘unexplained infertility’, we can use a combination of acupuncture, SomatoEmotional Release and fertility massage to support you in:
- Regulating your hormones
- Improving circulation to your pelvis
- Dealing with the depth of emotions that come with your fertility journey
IVF
When you meet your partner and start planning your children you don’t expect those plans to include tests, scans, injections and all of the waiting. You may feel grief for the loss of the path to parenthood that you presumed you would take. Fertility acupuncture can give you the space to acknowledge any unprocessed emotions, and accept your new path to pregnancy. Studies show that acupuncture can:
- Reduce inflammation
- Regulate your hormones
- Improve sperm parameters and egg quality
- Increase blood circulation
- Calm your nervous system
It is the perfect adjunct to your IVF protocol. The ideal scenario would be to start your fertility acupuncture 3 months prior to your medical treatment, but the next best thing would be to start as soon as you can.
