Maybe you’re at the crossroad of needing to uncover the reason you haven’t gotten pregnant yet, because you thought it would be easy.

Maybe you’re at the crossroads of weighing the decision to try IVF or not.

Maybe you’re at the crossroad trying to decide if you want to look into donor eggs.

Or it might be one of the many other crossroads you find yourself at on your fertility journey.

And I know it can feel incredibly hard when you’re at a crossroad and might need to take a different road to reach your intended destination.

And it was never part of your original plan.

I can only encourage you to embrace the beauty of your unique journey, even when the path shifts… and keep going.

Plans changing can feel like a huge setback. It can also be a new direction towards you knowing exactly what you want.

I know it’s cheesy, but sometimes the most stunning views are often found on the roads we didn’t plan to travel on.

💖💪🏼 You have more power and control over your body than you know…

💖💪🏼 What better way to resist, defy and rise than to become more connected to and have a better understanding/awareness of how your body works.

Whether you want to…

Get pregnant or….

💖💪🏼 Prevent pregnancy or….

Have a better awareness/control of your overall health/healthcare…

💖💪🏼 (cause didn’t you know, your menstrual cycle is a vital sign?) or…

✨ Who controls your body? You do!!! ✨

💪🏼💖 Women tracking their menstrual cycle is not only a powerful tool to achieve getting pregnant, avoiding pregnancy or observing our overall health and other potential health issues that may arise.

💪🏼💖 Charting your menstrual cycle is an act of defiance against a system that is seeking to control women’s bodies, privacy and access to essential healthcare.

💪🏼💖 Learn how to chart your cycle…. to help achieve getting pregnant… to avoid getting pregnant …. to understand other health issues you may notice from charting your cycle.

☎️ 🗣 DM me with any questions you have or if you need support.

When our medical system is not making women’s health a priority, we have the power to make it our own priority 💖💪🏼

They don’t call it a practice for nothing!

Our minds are so powerful and what we choose to focus on, grows.

What do you want to grow in your life? The things you want? And your hearts desire? Or what you don’t want?

A fun exercise I was just reminded of is writing down three positive “what if…” statements.

Want to try? What are your three positive “what if…” statements of what you want in your life.

I have all the women I work with chart their Basal Body Temperature (BBT), observer their cervical fluid and chart other physical and emotional changes throughout their cycle to help understand current fertility presentation.

Fertility can change.

Then we use a combination of acupuncture/acupressure, herbal medicine, supplements, nourishment, lifestyle changes and stress reduction techniques to

✨fix their menstrual cycle
✨optimize ovulation
✨improve cervical fluid
✨balance hormones
✨improve blood flow to the uterus and ovaries
✨decrease inflammation

To boost fertility and help improve a woman’s chance of getting pregnant.

Women’s bodies are fantastic at changing and becoming more fertile when given the time and using the right therapies, nourishment and lifestyle changes.

DM me if you’re interested in learning how taking the time to cultivate your fertility can help you get pregnant faster.
