If you are one of the estimated one in three couples experiencing problems with their fertility then you may find that hypnotherapy can make a real difference to your chances of conceiving.
Over the past twenty years there has been a significant rise in the number of people who need to seek help to achieve their dreams of starting or completing their family. There are many factors that may explain the statistics including a fall in men’s fertility, the stress of modern life, and an increase in the age at which women plan to start their families.
Added to all of these potential problems are the influences that unwanted thoughts may be having on your fertility. For example, you may be worried about what motherhood might mean for you in terms of your relationship with your partner, your career or others close to you. You may have negative thoughts about pregnancy due to a past miscarriage or termination. Or you may even fear the process of giving birth due to an unpleasant experience of hospitals or medical processes.
All of these issues and concerns can affect the way your body performs and all can be addressed through hypnotherapy.
Nick has undergone specialist training in this area with Sjanie Hugo, the UK’s leading practitioner in the treatment of fertility issues through hypnotherapy, and is a registered Fertile Body Method practitioner.
The Fertile Body Method combines hypnosis and other mind-body approaches to help identify and address the mental, emotional and physical factors which may be affecting your fertility. The therapy will also help you to decrease stress and reduce the other negative effects that infertility is having on your life.
It works well along side IVF and other assisted fertility treatments. In fact, a recent study in Israel found that couples using hypnotherapy boosted their chances of conception by fifty per cent.
Your Fertile Body treatment will be tailored according to your specific needs. In the first session Nick will help you to identify what beneficial changes need to be made in your life to help enhance your fertility and/or to deal better with the effects that fertility problems are having on your life.
Once your needs and goals have been identified a treatment plan can then be created to ensure that you get the maximum benefit from the therapy. The number of sessions which you need will be discussed with you at your first session, but generally people come for between 3 and 6 sessions.
Nottingham is one of the UK’s leading centres for the treatment of fertility with both the internationally renowned CARE and NURTURE centres being based in the city.
It is also the home of Seren Natural Fertility, a holistic therapy company devoted to helping couples achieve their dreams of starting a family.
Nick works very closely with Seren’s founder Barbara Scott, the UK’s leading trainer and practitioner in the treatment of fertility through reflexology. Working with other complementary therapists including nutritionists and acupuncture practitioners they aim to do all they can to improve the chances of pregnancy for both women and men.
Ideally Seren therapists prefer to work with both partners to boost fertility but are equally happy to treat just one individual.
