Using Hypnosis to enhance fertility.

Many couples have found that using hypnosis may enhance their fertility in a natural way and increase their chances of conception. Babies are the evidence that we are seeing at our practice in New York City.

The International Center for Positive Change and Hypnosis in Manhattan New York, offers couples and individuals "Hypnosis for Fertility" sessions. Hypnosis is a growing complimentary therapy for those looking to enhance fertility naturally or those going through ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology). There is growing evidence to support the use of mind/body therapies, and according to one Israeli study, hypnosis can improve the chances of conception up to 50%.

 

It seems very common that when couples decide to stop their quest or make the decision to adopt, suddenly they find themselves pregnant naturally! All too often I have heard stories of couples taking a rest and suddenly and happily finding themselves pregnant.

The different reasons that a couple may be experiencing challenges in conceiving can be numerous...and stress is very often a factor. Whenever I mention the "couple that gave up and become pregnant" people nod in agreement and share their experiences and stories of the same thing.

Recently a couple I know had been to see a reproductive endocrinologist and had the surprising news that their chances of conceiving on their own were less that 20%. They were very taken aback with this news and decided to start having fertility treatments straight away.

When visiting them a few weeks later, my friend began to tell me all about the treatments, the long list of literature, frequent doctor visits and the amount of shots and medication they would have to take. Each cycle was very involved but they were both entirely committed to the whole process and determined to have a baby.

Over the next few months as their cycles proceeded I could see that they were both still hopeful, despite some disappointments, and yet I their levels of stress were noticeably increasing. They had to take large amounts of medicine and be home at specific times to self-administer their shots and undergo frequent doctor visits. They were delighted with their doctor and found him very supportive, helpful and very positive and yet it was still a taxing experience for them.

In my practice I frequently help people to reduce their stress levels and I knew that there must be even more that I could do to help them. I became a "Hypnosis for Fertility" certified specialist through Lyndsi Eastburn in order to do everything possible to assist my friends in their journey toward becoming parents.

My friend came to the office at the International Center for Positive Change and Hypnosis in midtown Manhattan. The first session was 2 hour long and after a details intake discussion, I helped my friend go into very relaxed state of trance and told her that she can aces this relaxed state by just taking a deep breath and pressing her thumb and forefinger together. This "1 breath trigger" is such a useful tool and I share it with all my clients. Deeper into hypnosis I asked her to visit her inner self and design her uterus as an entirely welcoming environment. From here we visited the future and imagined seeing herself with her newborn, stepping fully into this image to experience the reality of it.

In additional sessions we did some EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) to clear any emotional concerns or blocks, visited her Inner control room where she could alter and balance anything that may need changing.

After a few more sessions she called me to tell me that the IVF treatment was successful and that she was expecting.

Since then my practice in "Hypnosis for Fertility" has grown with more clients each month.

Couples undergoing ART procedures frequently look for complimentary therapies to increase their chances of successful pregnancy and hypnosis is becoming more and more popular. It is a natural and non-invasive method that gives a woman ways to reduce stress, become more in control of their bodies and empowered. Sometimes our unconscious mind is holding onto negative emotions that may be interfering with the ability to conceive and Hypnosis for Fertility may help to clear these away.

A recent study from Professor Eliahu Levitas showed that using hypnosis during the embryo transfer stage of and IVF treatment increased the success by 50%. The study presented in 2004 showed that of 185 women, 28% of the group became pregnant when using hypnosis as opposed to 14% who were not.

Facing the challenge of infertility can be daunting but using "Hypnosis for Fertility" may assist in your journey toward parenthood.

For those couples that are looking to enhance fertility naturally, "Hypnosis for Fertility" may help to accelerate and improve your chances and many of my clients are choosing hypnosis before seeing a fertility doctor.

Last month my friend gave birth to a wonderful, healthy baby boy. Seeing the joy in her and her husbands eyes as they held their newborn brought joy to my heart and knowing that I played a part in helping them achieve their hearts desire is without a doubt a most fulfilling experience.
