Hypnotherapy to Help You Heal & Conceive a Baby

Hypnotherapy operates under the notion that the conscious and subconscious minds may want two different tings. As these minds are in conflict about for example becoming a mum, getting pregnant, carrying a baby, trusting own body and many more, the body may be blocked from completing all the essential steps of conception or maintaining a pregnancy. In other words, although a woman may consciously desire a baby, her subconscious could be hindering her readiness to conceive. 

Hypnotherapy is a healing modality that speaks directly with the subconscious (unconscious) mind and can provide a rapid shortcut to releasing the outdated instructions that your subconscious mind uses (e.g. preventing you from getting pregnant), and to code a new desired way of working for you, or protecting you. Hypnotherapy can also allow you to understand how you got to have such blocks, if that's your desire, and to release them across all others aspects of your life. 

One research involving women who faced infertility challenges for 2-12 years revealed that, following an average of nine hypnotherapy sessions, 65% successfully achieved full-term pregnancies. Additionally, 42% of participants, including some who didn't conceive during the study, reported improvements within menstrual and gynecological concerns (Quinn & Parson, 1994). 

Many of the women I work with exhibit unresolved concerns about parenthood, some of them deriving from their own childhood traumas, some were acquired at some other stages of their lives. There is no rule. The only important aspect is it understand that subconscious blocks can be resolved, and hypnotherapy gives you the highest chances to do this rapidly, often in one session. 

This depends on your particular goal and can vary from person to person. Some will benefit greatly already in just first 3 sessions. 

However, for a specific fertility support, such as for IVF, I suggest that you maximize your 3 months prior to starting an ovarian stimulation and eggs retrieval to give enough support to your mind and body (and mitochondria!) for healthy growth and maturation of your oocytes. 

To calm your nervous system, and any uterine contractions, I would also recommend a session on the day of embryo transfer, and another one ideally a day after, or within the first 3-5 days post transfer. 

As particularly the time during the "two weeks wait" can be tremendously stressful, I advise women to follow any of my audio hypno - meditations, only 25 minutes daily, that can help them relax, lower cortisol level, and bring the feeling of peace and calmness, and a belief in the best outcome for them.

Weekly or fortnightly is a good balance to begin with, that's also depending on what we will be focusing on.  

Yes! It can be much quicker than you expect. However, be prepared that even the things considered 'simple' to treat in hypnotherapy terms, such as some phobias, single incident trauma, may require 3-4 sessions depending on the person. 

Simultaneously, you are the expert on yourself! If you've been grappling with a challenge for a while, pressuring yourself to change rapidly or letting others push you faster than you're comfortable with may not be helpful or fair. 

Research has shown: 

• Menopause: Hypnotherapy helps to manage menopause symptoms (hot flashes, sleep problems etc.) from 5 sessions, with sessions over the phone being the most effective  (Elkins et al, 2013; Elkins et al., 2021). 
• IBS Symptoms: Hypnotherapy for IBS symptoms requires between 6 - 12 sessions to achieve important clinical improvements in IBS symptoms (Hasan, S., et al. 2021). 
• A potential of achieving a full-term pregnancy: One research involving women who faced infertility challenges for 2-12 years revealed that, following an average of 9 hypnotherapy sessions, 65% successfully achieved full-term pregnancies. Additionally, 42% of participants, including some who didn't conceive during the study, reported improvements within menstrual and gynecological concerns (Quinn & Parson, 1994). 

No one size fits all, but as a hypnotherapist I make sure that sessions are tailored to you so that we maximise our time for your healing. 

I prefer to use the term 'temporary block' in fertility rather than 'infertility'.

Around 75% to 90% of infertility cases are medically diagnosable, with the remaining 10% to 25% classified as unexplained. Unexplained infertility is a medical term applied when semen analysis, ovulation, and fallopian tubes seem normal. Despite this, a couple struggles to achieve pregnancy. Such 'diagnosis' bears a heavy burden of  anxiety and other emotions that can lead to further downward spiral of women's  health of mind, body and soul. As recent research shows, 'infertility' patients consistently report significantly more symptoms of anxiety and depression than fertile individuals (Lakatos, 2017).

In one study (Vyas, R., et al., 2013), researchers looked directly at the efficacy of psychotherapeutic intervention including hypnotherapy in couples with "unexplained" reproductive failure.  Over 28 years, a study involving 554 couples without anatomical or physiological issues was conducted. Psychotherapeutic intervention, including indirect and direct hypnosis, was incorporated into the standard investigation and therapy protocol for infertile couples. Various stressors were identified, including the stress of infertility experienced by all women. Hypnotherapy initially aimed at general stress relief and later targeted specific stressors. The results showed a success rate of 71.67% in terms of achieving pregnancy. 

A very high success rate in their study shows that "unexplained" infertility issues might be caused by psychological factors. These can be reversed with therapy that includes hypnosis. The study found that psychosomatic stress plays a big role in this. When stress is reduced with hypnotherapy, there are remarkable results.

Within the category of 'unexplained infertility', there are numerous environmental, social, psychological, and behavioral factors that may contribute to a period of fertility challenges among women. After all, we are not merely bodies; we are complex beings composed of mind, body, and soul. It is about maintaining a delicate harmony among these three aspects of our being that in turn allow us to sail peacefully and with joy through life. 

When significant events occur in our lives, the emotionally charged encounters are stored in our brains. These memories and experiences are also stored biochemically and electromagnetically in different organ systems. Such accumulation of negative emotional experiences has the potential to disrupt the delicate hormonal equilibrium required for ovulation, and immunological response of the body required for successful fertilisation, implantation and overall communication between fetus and a mother for a healthy pregnancy. After all, stress is just one aspect that may hinder conception (no matter the origins of it). The importance lies in interconnectedness of our endocrine, immune, and nervous systems which get impacted by every thought and emotion that we get to think and experience (Payne, N., 1997). 

Hypnotherapy has the ability to aid women on a profound level by engaging directly with their subconscious mind, which governs all bodily and organ functions, as well as the storage and response to traumatic or painful memories embedded within the body's cells. 

As the primary objective is protection, once these memories are accessed, the subconscious mind can be guided to protect us in alternative ways that may facilitate progress towards our desired goals—such as becoming a mother. 

Women in their late 30s, 40s, and even 50s who have at least one ovary and a womb, who desire a baby either naturally or with medical assistance using their own eggs might have heard discouraging suggestions about why they may not be successful at getting or staying pregnant. The comments might have been equally from doctors and the well-meaning society, family members, even friends. They may have been told that it's tough to get and stay pregnant at that age, with low chances of success and higher risks for both the pregnancy and the mothers-to-be. 

While medical statistics can be useful to some degree, and advices of others can be helpful, we need to be mindful about if these serve us well. In my approach to fertility I follow this wonderful quote from a well known American medium, Matt Fraser, who explains the significance of 1% chance: 

"The heaven doesn't see the 99% of all the negative, fears and why nots. It sees the 1% why it is going to happen for you".  

This is also how I approach every hypnotherapy client and their attainment of their own goals. The slim 1% possibility expands over time and space, paving the way for a serene approach to life and fertility. 

Yes! Hypnotherapy focused on spirituality is a great modality to help you relax, enter into an altered state where you use your cognitive flexibility and start noticing different multisensory information, including hearing from your Spirit Baby, any of your deceased loved ones, or any of your spirit guides. 

Yes, hypnotherapy can and is done remotely through video conferencing sessions. I provide hypnotherapy services exclusively online via Google Meet platform, and if you require in person hypnotherapy session, please contact me about this so that I arrange this possibility for you.

Receiving hypnotherapy from the comfort of your own home has proven to be one of the most cherished possibilities among my clients. You will receive the same quality sessions as during in person therapy,  and without the troubles of long distance commuting. 

Things to remember: 

Find a quiet space for your hypnotherapy session, as noise can be distracting and prevent relaxation. While noises can sometimes enhance the session in person, remote sessions may not allow for this, as depending on the technology at your and my end, I may not hear what you can hear. 

Additionally, the more you're exposed to hypnosis, the easier it is to enter a relaxed, hypnotic state. If you're new to hypnotherapy, please choose a quiet space. 

While lying down is commonly associated with therapy, we aim for relaxation without falling asleep, as suggestions may not be processed the same way during sleep.

For optimal comfort during your hypnotherapy session, sit upright in a comfortable position. Avoid crossing your legs to prevent discomfort. Ensure both feet are on the floor and your hands rest lightly on your lap. 

Position your device away from you on a table or a stand to avoid holding it up, allowing you to relax fully. 

It's important for me to see you clearly (head to your waist ideally) for effective observation and adaptation. 

Lastly, a stable internet connection is essential for online sessions. Please double test it. Ensure you have clear audio for effective communication by testing your device's speakers and microphone. Consider using a headset for better sound quality. 

These basic considerations set you up for success. 

While it is rare, some individuals may have difficulty entering the hypnotic state. However, there are other techniques that can be used to achieve similar results. I will will work with you to find the best approach for your needs.
