Your Fertility, Conception and Pregnancy in St Andrews, Perth, Dundee | Hypnotherapy for Birthing

The Mindful Berry is a specialist focus within Therapy in the City, working with women and couples on their journey from bump to baby. The road to becoming a parent can be challenging but we are on hand to offer relaxed, practical therapy to support you every step of the way from conception to pregnancy including childbirth and into early motherhood.

conception and unexplained fertility

Studies have shown that hypnotherapy increases natural conception by 50% and recent evidence suggests that hypnosis can double the success rate of IVF.

When a couple decides to start a family and nothing happens, stress is often one of the main obstacles they need to overcome. If ignored, anxiety and stress builds and can affect your whole body, including your reproductive system. Stress hormones can suppress ovulation, sexual activity and sperm count, and this can actually add to the problem by interfering with the normal functions of your reproductive system. In extreme cases, depression can develop and this in particular can lead to the release of unviable immature eggs.

At Therapy in the City we can help to change this and the negative effects it results in by:

Identifying and resolving unconscious and conscious issues that may be preventing conception, such as fears about pregnancy and birth, unresolved trauma, previous miscarriage/still birth, unresolved issues from childhood. Emotional Support and building coping skills

Restoring physical, mental and emotional balance and wellbeing through changing limiting beliefs, relaxation and changes to lifestyle. Restoring trust in your body, self-esteem and self-worth. Reducing stress and anxiety, increasing feelings of calm and relaxation.

Preparing couples for conception by improving intimacy (for natural conception), restoring menstrual health, helping couples make the necessary lifestyle changes (diet, smoking) and preparing couples for IVF or other fertility treatment. Reducing negative effects of fertility treatment medication
