A gentle reframe on fertility support
From time to time, women come to me asking about fertility support. Often they have been reading forums, listening to podcasts, or following social media threads where many ideas are shared, supplements, medications, protocols, and things to try “just in case”.
This can include off-label medications, high-dose supplements, extreme dietary rules, rigid timing practices, or strategies said to improve blood flow, implantation, or hormone balance. Much of this information circulates widely online, yet does not always sit within strong evidence or standard UK guidance.
I want to say this gently and clearly, these questions do not come from recklessness. They usually come from a very tender place.
Underneath them I often hear,
What if I am missing something?
What if my body needs more support?
What if time is running out?
From a holistic perspective, I do not hear desperation, I hear hope. I hear a deep wish to care for the body and create the best possible conditions for conception.
Here is the reframe I offer.
Fertility is not only about hormones, blood flow, supplements, or protocols. It is also about how safe the body feels, how regulated the nervous system is, and how much pressure the system is under. Long-term stress, vigilance, emotional labour, grief, and the sense of needing to do everything perfectly can quietly shape the body’s internal environment.
This is where my work sits.
I support women by helping to reduce chronic stress, support nervous system regulation, improve pelvic and abdominal awareness through gentle movement and breath, and reconnect with their bodies with less urgency and more trust.
This work is not instead of medical care, but alongside it. Sometimes the most powerful support is not adding another thing, but allowing the body to soften, settle, and feel safer.
With warmth,
Nina
