IVF made Magical, how to take a holistic approach to IVF
This is for you if you’re thinking about embarking on an IVF journey, if you’re on an IVF journey or if it’s in the cards for you in the future.
I am writing this at 15 weeks pregnant following our long fertility and IVF journey.
Would you be surprised if I told you that it was a truly magical experience?
The inner work that I had the opportunity to do on our fertility and IVF journey was life-changing.
Sharing my journey is important to me because vulnerability is where true connection lies and by sharing, I am letting other women know that they are not alone, and giving them permission to speak about these things too.
I have been so open about my IVF journey and now I would like to offer you an unbiased professional opinion as to how your IVF journey can truly be made magical and how you can take a holistic approach to getting so much more out of IVF than you could have ever imagined so that it can be an integral and important part of your life journey.
I know that no one initially wants to start their family through IVF, it’s probably not what you envisioned when starting a family
Getting your head around the fact that IVF is your next step towards your baby is not easy- but IVF is here for you and it is an incredible blessing.
Starting an IVF journey can be both scary and exciting at the same time, I want you to enter this journey feeling heard and supported. You deserve to be surrounded by a team of support just like I had.
When it comes to IVF it can simply take a change of mindset or a shift in perspective that can change your entire trajectory, your entire outcome and most importantly your entire experience.
Of course, the ultimate goal is your baby and that is my wish for you as well. However, I want your journey to not just be outcome dependent.
You can get so much more than your baby by accepting this as such an integral part of your life experience, as a catalyst for growth, and as a time for spiritual development.
There are things that you can do outside of the four white walls of the IVF clinic to prepare yourself for and support yourself through this journey.
You may have preconceived notions about what IVF is, or you may be holding onto old stories from past experiences.
IVF is unpredictable and uncertain. While there is so much science involved, there is also so much that can not be explained; that is left to chance, luck or fate.
IVF seems clinical, black and white. There is a misconception that Western and natural or alternative medicines can not be used together. Why can’t they?
It is so important to me that you know this, that there are people like me who are here to support you with holistic medicine alongside your IVF journey when it comes to nutrition, your mindset, and your lifestyle choices.
For me, as an ex perfectionist, surrendering my fertility journey into the hands of trusted experts was so liberating and so freeing. I fully surrendered to my IVF journey, and I trusted those around me.
Know that you have done everything that you can up until this point and that it is ok to surrender.
You are enough. You are not broken.
IVF is not a crutch, it’s not here to fix you or solve your problem.
What if instead IVF is here for you to experience and grow through on the path to your baby?
I want you to be so in awe of and inspired by this journey, and for it to be the catalyst for you to be able to see the world in this new lens.
So, I created a program called IVF magic and I recorded all of the videos at 6 weeks pregnant. It’s not that often that you see those two words together, right? But IVF can be so magical!
IVF Magic poured out of me, it was easy because it was so authentic. I knew that it was something that I had to do because I knew how important it is!
I based IVF Magic on four pillars which shape the four modules of IVF Magic:
- Preparation. Which includes preparing yourself and your loved ones for IVF, setting healthy boundaries and how to have necessary conversations. As well as an IVF tool kit and evidence based supplementation to get started on right away. In this module we have a 1:1 phone consultation in which I prescribe and send supplements to your door, for yourself and your partner! These supplements are supportive for reproduction and your nervous system through the journey.
- Mindset. Which involves looking inwards on this journey to change or elevate your mind. This will change your entire experience when you have a healthy and fully expressed mind throughout IVF. We focus on acceptance, gratitude, release, trust & Surrender, feeling your feelings, listening to your body, empowering beliefs.
- Nutrition. I want women like you to be so nutritionally supported throughout IVF. I am an evidence based practitioner and I know that certain nutrients from foods and supplementation can be extremely beneficial throughout IVF and in order to prepare for pregnancy. The first session is called ‘the Imperfect fertility diet’. How relieving does that sound? You will learn all about fertility foods and what your fertility needs to feel safe. I have also included an entire IVF recipe book for you in this module!
- Lifestyle. It is so supportive to know how you can move your body during IVF, how less is actually more, how to bring in creativity and play, and how to implement radical self care!
My work is about you, it’s about mama, this is what will lead to the conception of your healthy and happy baby, by focusing on you right now.
You deserve this, you deserve the best team on your side and I totally get what you are going through! You can learn more about IVF Magic here. I would love to have you on board, beautiful!
