At the Natural Fertility Clinic we adopt a combined approach to fertility. The integration of Nutrition, Hypnofertility and Acupuncture provides a uniquely holistic approach to the treatment of infertility.

Why is a naturally combined approach to fertility important?

A combined approach to fertility issues is important because the evidence shows that a mind-body approach to treatment is the most effective.

It is a well established fact that proper nutrition is a pre-requisite for reproductive health. We also know that effectively managing stress and dealing with the emotional issues around conception and fertility is incredibly important for conception.

It has long been known that acupuncture is effective at balancing the body's energies to enhance the receptiveness of the body for conception.

Why is hypnotherapy effectively used for fertility treatment?

Hypnofertility has been shown to DOUBLE the success of IVF treatment 1.

Hypnofertility can increase conception rates by 30%-55% 2.

Infertility is a very common problem with around 10% of all couples experiencing issues around difficulty with conception.

Although there are many medical causes for infertility, around a third of couples have no readily definable cause and many couples choose to undertake IVF treatment which can be both stressful and expensive.

Given the success of Hypnofertility treatment, you may wish to considerig using Hypnofertility to assist with your pre-pregnancy planning or to help you optimise your chances of successfully conception through IVF treatment.

What does Hypnofertility treatment Involve?

Hypnotherapy

Hypnofertility treatment involves an initial consultation to discuss your individual situation. At this point we discuss how the program works and I assess your suitability for treatment.

Hypnofertility treatment includes any appropriate solution focused psychotherapy to address any negative feelings around fertility issues.

We discuss various issues around the effective use of hypnosis for increasing conception and your personal hsitory. After the intial session we would then move on to three sessions of Hypnofertility treatment. If necessary I will also suggest a consultation with a nutritionist or acupuncturist.

How effective is Hypnofertility?

• For untreated infertility

Hypnofertility can be very effective. Most couples would welcome the opportunity to try out all natural avenues for conception before going down the medical route.

Remember that there is a 30% increase in conception rates using Hypnosis (see ref 3 below) so you may wish to consider Hypnofertility treatment prior to undertaking formal fertility treatment.

• During IVF

Professor Eliahu Levitas from Soroka Hospital in Beersheva in Israel has shown in his study that Hypnosis can DOUBLE the rate of conception of couples undergoing IVF treatment. In addition it gave women the ability to relax deeply throughout treatment which significantly reduces any stress associated with the procedures.

Prof Levitas's study of 185 women found that 28% of women in the group who were hypnotized became pregnant, compared with 14% of those who were not.

Hypnofertility treatment is complementary to medical treatment and it works to enhance any any medical treatment that you may be having. Because of this you may feel that this treatment is the natural choice for to assist your desire for a family.

How much does Hypnofertility treatment cost?

Hypnofertility treatment is a fraction of the costs of any medical treatment, and given the evidence for its success it represents excellent value. If we decide that treatment is right for you then I need you to commit to completing a course of 4 sessions the cost of which is £350. The cost of additonal consultations for nutrition or acupuncture is separate and is discussed with the relevant practitioner.

The initial Hypnofertility consultation would typically last 1.5- 2 hours with subsequent sessions lasting approximately 1.5 hours.

Even if you are undertaking IVF, choosing to increase the chances of success of each cycle is simply common sense, and additionally you will benefit from the stress management techniques and relaxation skills that you will learn from the Hypnofertility programme.
