How can I help you? 

Fertility challenges can create emotional barriers such as sadness, anxiety, guilt or social isolation. These barriers can have a negative impact on individuals' well-being. Luk and Loke (2016) explain the degree of the effects infertility has on individuals and families, including them feeling ashamed or afraid of being stigmatized, which leads to stress and depression. 

My goal is to assist with coping strategies that will help you maintain quality of life, and a quality family system while on your fertility journey. 

Are you consumed with thoughts or questions? Many individuals wonder why, how and when.. "Why is this happening?" "How is this happening?" "When will I/we overcome this challenge?"

Relaxation techniques for managing stress, anxiety and more

How do you manage, in the presence of facing your fertility challenge, to carry out and complete your daily obligations? Do you take time out of your day to practice self-care? This can be done simply by taking the time to relax, clear your mind and focus on positivity. Research shows that positive thinking leads to positive outcomes and good health.

Below are a few techniques that can be used to reduce your infertility-related stress, anxiety or other adverse feelings you may be experiencing. While these do not constitute treatment or a cure for infertility, they will assist with successful coping and stress reduction. A great suggestion with these techniques is to play relaxation sounds such as waterfalls, birds chirping, sounds of thunder or leaves blowing. Sounds of nature have a restorative effect on our mind, body, and soul. Lighting a white candle is also suggestive, as it represents peace, harmony, and wholeness.
