Lost in the 'Trying'

Sometimes when struggling with fertility, it is easy to get lost in the 'trying' aspect of it all; charting cycles, temps, all that good stuff.  It gets even more complicated if you are going through assisted reproductive technologies with constant bloodwork, ultrasounds, shots, meds, more ultrasounds, tests, etc... It's easy to put the focus on all of those things and lose sight of what you are actually trying to achieve.


It is really important to remember what the main goal is - becoming a parent!  So, start by visualizing yourself as a mother/father.  Start clearing that spare room that is going to be the nursery and set the intent.  Buy some children's books and set them in the space, a teddy bear, onesie...whatever baby items that call to you and start putting this mothering/fathering intent out to the universe.  Let that little soul know that you are ready for them!


Reiki is all about intention, love and light. A session can really help to balance the body energetically and clear the space (so to speak) to make room for that new little being to come into existence and to help set the intent for becoming a parent.

An Article Discussing the Benefits of Reiki for Natural Fertility and During Pregnancy

This is a great article discussing the benefits of Reiki sessions pre-conception to reduce stress and anxiety and help restore all of the body's systems to a natural state of health to promote fertility and conception.  It also states some wonderful statistics on the benefits of Reiki during pregnancy - for minimizing morning sickness and anxiety.

Being Kind to Yourself

It is important to be kind to yourself, which isn't always easy to do.  We can be our own worst enemy and critic extraordinaire!  Take the time to be good to yourself, relax, and allow yourself some forgiveness when needed.  Open your heart and send love and light on a daily basis.  So, check your inner critic at the door, enjoy a good cup of tea and above all - be KIND to YOU!

What is a Reiki session like?

During a session, most people will lie fully clothed on a table while the Reiki practitioner, still and focused, uses little or no pressure and a series of hand placements, acting as a conduit for the universal energy to flow into the recipient.  The recipient may experience deep relaxation, tingling, pulsing, or warmth and comfort during the session. Results can be subtle or profound, some may feel little during the session but experience a sense of calm and well-being afterwards, others may experience powerful emotions during or after a session.  The practitioner will want to hear about your experience to the degree that you feel comfortable sharing.

Why Reiki?

Reiki is a unique energy based therapy that promotes healing, relaxation and balance within the body; all of which are essential when trying to conceive.

When the body is relaxed and the chakras are open, clear and charged, the gateways to fertility are opened as well.
