Fertile Ground
The online course to learn the mind-body approach to getting pregnant - without it taking over your life.
âI want to trust the process, but I canât stop worrying. Iâm doing everything the internet says I should do, but I donât know if itâs working...â
âIâve been able to create soo many amazing things -- I have a great relationship, a solid career. Why hasnât this happened for me yet?!â
âI want to give my partner a baby so badly. Weâre ready when you are little human⌠but please donât wait too long!â
"I feel so guilty, even when Iâm not sure why. Every time I step a teensy bit away from âdoctors ordersâ I wake up in the morning riddled with guilt.â
Youâve read the fertility blogs, forums and books about how to get pregnant, but your mind feels more confused and overwhelmed than EVER, with all the contradicting advice out there (to dairy or not to dairy? đŽ) trying to piece together a realistic plan that doesnât drive you freaking loco, and with no help.
And through it all - you canât help but feel responsible that it hasnât happened yet. Like itâs your fault.
You wish someone would just take you by the hand and guide through a proven, yet simple mind-body approach to getting pregnant, WITHOUT sacrificing your sanity. You wish you had a way you could just ask questions, be heard and get clarity â when you need to.
Youâve tried everything. Youâve done so much to get your body to make this baby. Acupuncture, cutting out your fav foods, yoga, IUI, IVF, Chinese medicine, a pineapple binge, a double-flip handstand after sex etc. Maybe you were even told to take the damn microwave out of your house (like I wasâŚđł)
And then thereâs all the...(ahem) unsolicited advice from friends, family members, and your mother-in-Law: âYou should just relax. Donât think about it so much. Itâll happen!â or âHave you tried this position? Thatâs how I got pregnant with your cousin on the first try!â or âHave you thought about adoption?â... đ
Picture waking up in the morning, feeling calm, at peace, and like you have space to breathe. Because youâve learned that what creates joy, confidence and happiness - is not dependent on what you ate/did/didn't do the day before - but dependent on the thoughts you choose to believe about yourself and your fertility journey â¤ď¸
Youâve officially let go of stressful doâs and donâts for your uterus - like taking your temperature every morning - and actually feel more empowered and in control of your fertility than ever before. Because you know a calm mind is what promotes a healthy reproductive system.
Youâve learned how to nurture and treat yourself with the same amount of love and care, that you so willingly give to your loved ones.
You know how to connect with, ask and trust your beautiful body.
Your friends and family tell you that you seem way more calm and relaxed and ask, âWhat are you doing differently? Did you get a haircut?â
Since you already have all the tools to use your mind to calm your body for optimal health and happiness â your focus is now geared towards your own pleasure and fulfillment as you prepare for mama-hood.
How does the mind-body connection make me feel more at peace and increase my chances of pregnancy?
How can I just erase my worry and start thinking more positively, when I have so many negative thoughts on loop?
How am I supposed to enjoy the journey, when everything Iâve tried has mostly created more stress?
Because psychological suffering can delay physical healing. Research shows that your emotional health is equally as important as your physical health.
Because mind-body work treats you as a WHOLE BEING rather than a machine that needs fixing. Fertility is not a one-size-fits-all kind of thing. You have your own unique makeup and itâs time we honour that.
Because regardless of your diagnosis or age, your mind and body have remarkable healing and regenerative powers that lie within. You just need to learn how to access it.
Because itâs the path of least resistance. Less is SO. MUCH. MORE. You can let go of the belief that âgetting pregnant is hardâ. There is another way and Iâd love to show you how.
You feel isolated and alone because every pregnancy announcement on Insta makes you feel like youâve been punched in the stomach.
Youâre so pissed at your body. Why isnât it doing what itâs meant to do? Wtf is wrong with it?
Youâve never felt more out of control. Like thereâs absolutely nothing in the world that will make you feel better, besides getting pregnant.
Youâre busy taking care of your partner, the career, the home, and the cooking - that the responsibility you feel to get pregnant, makes you feel like a real-life pressure cooker.
You keep replaying the past in your head. You say to yourself, âIt hasnât happened so far - why would it happen now?â
Every doctorâs appointment leaves you feeling like a test subject who barely has enough time to ask her doctor the right questions to ease the angst.
You feel so many different pent up emotions but choose to sweepâem under the rug, in fear that if you let them out, theyâll never leave.
You finally feel like you have a healthy sense of control of your fertility journey. Your mind is no longer overtaken by things like comparison and time.
You have a new found trust and appreciation for your body. Now that youâve learned how to speak to your body and how your body speaks to you, youâre a team and will create this baby together.
Youâve learned how to ask for help. So after dinner, your partner does the dishes and puts away the laundry -- which leaves time for a great book and a relaxing bath to sooth your soul before a great nights sleep.
Youâve let go of the past. Best of all, youâve forgiven it. And feel ready to welcome in a brand new, baby-filled future.
You leave your doctorâs appointment feeling confident and excited. Youâve asked the right questions and insisted for clear and concise answers to put your mind and body at ease about the future.
Youâve learned a healthy way to process and express your emotions. Therefore, your body has never felt lighter, your mind has never been more at peace and youâve never felt more confident, excited and hopeful to be a mama.
Fertility is a vulnerable journey that deserves to be embraced. And we waste NO TIME diving right into the magic. Here is where you learn to open up your heart to having your baby.
Because, you're afraid. Maybe your afraid to get your hopes ups and get excited about seeing that positive pregnancy test. And this is normal. But it's time to let that go and let the magic in.
You'll learn how to release that need to ânumb outâ and avoid your emotions, good or bad. By leaning lovingly into your emotional patterns and adjusting where needed, so you donât just acknowledge and learn to move through your fears and feelings, but feel confident articulating them, and asking for help when you need it.
This will also be a vital skill in your back pocket when itâs Mommy Oâclock!
Itâs a status symbol to be busy these days, but when youâre waiting for a baby? Your nervous system needs to be calm and centered. Here is where we activate your baby-making parasympathetic nervous system. So instead of fight or flight -- think rest and digest.
In week 2, weâll dig you out of comparison syndrome and unnecessary stress, and get you into a place of deep peace, so you can start listening to yourself, and give yourself permission to rest, relax, and sleep when you want, so your bodyâs systems can begin to work beautifully towards your shared goal.
When weâre struggling to conceive, it's easy to turn on our bodies; as if theyâve failed us or betrayed us. But more often than not? Our bodies want to be pregnant just as much as we do. Weâre all on the same team.
So in week 3, youâll learn how to treat your body with divine love again, and nourish it beautifully -- so you can feel pleasure without guilt.
Improving your relationship with your body is vital for the rest of your journey, and supporting yourself through pregnancy and beyond.
Surrender and letting go doesn't have to be such a taboo subject. It's not that complicated.
Letting go doesn't mean pretending to not want a baby. Or wishing the yearning would just go away (so that it could happen..)
In module 4, you'll learn how to get out of your own way, so that the Universe can support and guide your every move. But it can be difficult to do this - when you feel like you have to "make it happen" all on your own.
Cause guess what mama-bear? The Universe is waiting for you to get out of the way - so that it can guide you towards your baby. You just have to learn how to accept the offer.
If you've been TTC for a while, not-being-able-to-get-prego-when-you-want can become a part of your identity. Your old stories, memories and regrets of the past can grab a hold of your soul and hang around you like a dark cloud. Not to mention, how difficult it can be to see yourself as a fertile woman after years of trying. In module 5, this all changes.
It's time to let go of beliefs that sound like: "I should have started sooner." ... "Last time didn't work. Why would the next time be any different?" ....&..."I shoulda, coulda, woulda done more."
You'll learn how to let go, forgive and re-write your fertility story, to take on your brand new identity of a FERTILE mama who will soon meet her miracle. Peace out past! Hello FUTURE!
If you continue to think the same thoughts over and over again and focus most of your energy on whatâs happened so far on your fertility journey - the past - it will be very difficult to create a new future. Of course, we do this to protect ourselves from pain. But by this point in the program, your heart is cracked WIDE OPEN to possibility and excitement.
Youâll learn how to plant the seeds and water those visions of holding a baby in your belly and then of course, in your arms.
Instead of your brain being a record of the past, this week youâll learn how to make it a map of the future.
Too often, women working on their fertility are brainwashed to believe youâre only a âgoodâ mama if youâre a hermit, dutifully drinking your morning smoothie, taking your vitamins, and following a perfect routine. You may feel guilt when youâre having fun these days, or even just relaxing and watching an episode of the Real Housewives (um, shouldnât you be sitting in a yoga pose instead?!)
Thatâs why module 6 is all about FUN. Youâll get reacquainted with the things that bring you joy, go on adventures, prioritize pleasure (in and out of the bedroom), and indulge in your favorite things.
After all, if youâre miserable trying to conceive⌠whatâs the f---ing point?
So many women on the fertility journey are bad ass career women who can truly handle anything.
But honestly? You shouldnât have to.
For generations, woman have been putting others before themselves. We often catch ourselves playing small, clamming up, or giving the OK on âfavorsâ or tasks we donât want to do, to keep everyone happy.
Well guess what, mama-bear? If youâre getting ready for a cub, youâve gotta learn how to roar -- or just let yourself off the hook with a simple âNo thank you!â Itâs time to stop letting people take advantage of your kindness, start placing healthy boundaries around your heart and time, and shift from âgo modeâ and into âsupport modeâ. Because asking for help is a sign of strength
By learning to do more of less, your mind will be clear, your body energized, and you'll feel so ready to meet your baby and juggle the journey of motherhood.
It might sound super out-there or woo woo, BUT before I conceived, I spent a lot of precious time connecting and listening to the spirit of my babes.
Hereâs the thing - you and your baby are already connected. Youâve already chosen each other. In Module 9, youâll learn how to build on this connection to create confidence, trust and a safe, spiritual landing pad for both you and baby.
Sounds magical AF, right? Agreed. But in my experience, the monkey mind has a sneaky way of rearing itâs persistent head in this process. In this module, youâre gonna learn how to listen to your intuition, and not the questioning voice of your fear, so that this process feels FUN, light and like itâs actually happening.
Connecting with the spirit of your baby - before conception - is like winning the jackpot. What a special bond to share with your child for the rest of your livesâŚto build this kind of connection before conception!
2 monthly payments for your convenience
The honest answer is, it depends on you and your current situation. Most mama-bears are able to complete the course in a couple of months.
Others might take a few extra months to as they slowly implement what they learn into their daily lives.
There is no rush and no right or wrong amount of time. Remember, this isn't a "quick fix" by any means.
I recommend you set aside a couple of hours a per week to go through the program and implement the assignments.
Abso-freaking-lutely not.
This is an entirely new energy that you would be bringing to the baby-making table (or bed?!), and to your life in general. One that gives you permission to stop fighting life, put down your sword, and get clear on what matters most to you.
My philosophy is less = more. The sooner you realize that whatâs most important is not what you âdoâ but HOW you do it - the energy behind it - the sooner you will free yourself from work/relationship/fertility obligations and to-doâs that drain your energy.
And if weâre being honest, you already know this. You get it. But after decades of living life a certain way, you donât know how to change. You donât know how to let go. To trust. To feel pleasure without guilt. Which is totally normal. And absolutely okay.
This where Fertile Ground comes in. Right heređđ˝ is where the transformation begins.
You want to create success in all areas of life - not just baby.
You want to feel supported.
Youâve tried a lot to get body on board - but are now ready to get your MIND on board.
You want to stop grasping at straws on the fertility journey and create a strong Fertile Ground for baby. Less is so much more.
You want to and believe you can actually enjoy the journey to your baby.
You want a quick fix.
You want to do this all on your own.
Youâre unwilling to learn new skills.
Youâre set in your ways and arenât open to changing your thoughts.
Even though youâre overwhelmed AF, you want to continue to try a thousand different things, in the hopes that all the to-doâs will help you get pregnant.
You donât care about being happy now.
While I canât guarantee a 100% success rate of pregnancy as a result of Fertile Ground (please be wary of any âexpertâ who tries to promise you that) what I can guarantee is an utterly transformed mindset. Once you learn thereâs another way to live, move, and be on your fertility journey... and if you do the work, take the steps, and start bringing these practices into your life -- I can promise that there'll be more joy in your life. Studies have also shown that exploring the type of mind-body work weâll be doing in Fertile Ground can also improve the success of fertility and fertility treatments significantly. After Fertile Ground, you wonât just feel more physically, spiritually, and mentally centered -- youâll know that you and your and your partner are prepared for whatever comes, that your life is full, and that there is so much beauty around you, and ready to support you always. That is my promise to you.
Research shows that completing mind/body programs during IVF can increase your chances by up to 55%. Keep in mind: This is not to bolster the myth that you should âjust relaxâ to get pregnant! Inside Fertile Ground, youâll be doing much more than just relaxing. Youâll be healing past traumas and limiting beliefs, learning how to fall in love with your body, finding new ways to communicate lovingly with your partner, family, and friends in any scenario, and so much more. The goal is to prep your mind and body for conception, pregnancy, birth, motherhood and beyond. *Imagine: feeling centered, calm, and at peace the next time the doctor calls. Or when hearing that you have to give birth in a hospital and not at home like you had wanted. Or after having many late nights breastfeeding your growing baby. These are the moments that I want to help you create for yourself. *
Absolutely. Fertile Ground is for women whose journeys have lasted months or years.
No mama-bear...it's a GREAT idea. First of all, I'm so sorry for your loss. (I had one so I understand and can totally relate). I think an important component to healing after loss, is knowing that you're not alone. You will feel a deep sense of belonging, healing and connection in the program.
Fertile Ground focus' on the mind-body connection. Weâll be doing deep work that goes beyond simply eating right and doing more yoga. Youâll be exploring how you relate to pleasure (guilt-free), healing past wounds, learning how to set boundaries, hopping off the âperfectionismâ train and so much more. Itâs not just a program to help you get pregnant. Itâs an experience to help you find true, gorgeous, powerful meaning and truth along the way.
Iâve coached hundreds of women around fertility in my 1-1 sessions, webinars, classes, and programs, and everything I teach you inside Fertile Ground is rooted in science and created with love. Thereâs no fluff or fanciful thinking, and everything youâll learn is practical, applicable, and (most importantly) enjoyable to learn and work through. With my guidance, youâll discover ways to calm your mind and tune into your body, so you can mentally and physcially prepare for conception, pregnancy and raising your little one.
