HYPNOFERTILITY

---

“Unexplained infertility” actually means that there is no physiological reason for a woman not to become pregnant. Although women often feel helpless upon learning of this “condition”, it is actually great news. In the absence of a pathological impediment, most women can be helped to achieve fertility by exploring prior programming or emotional blocks.

Negative feelings, left unexpressed or unresolved, hold considerable energy which can block conception. Unexpressed emotions such as anguish, guilt or shame often felt after an abortion can create extreme emotional conflict which affects every cell of the body and can cause or compound reproduction problems.
Negative self-talk has a direct causative effect on the endocrine (hormonal) system by the direct stimulation of the amygdala, and its interrelationship with the hypothalamus and parts of the brain involved with emotions.

Our unique hypnotherapy programme does more than just relax you while in session. You’ll learn to easily find that relaxed state which opens the door to conception, whether natural or medically assisted.

Worry = Negative Self-hypnosis

You have probably gone to considerable lengths to keep your body free of toxins and exposure to any harmful element. Why, then, would you allow destructive habits and thought patterns to damage the fragile environment needed to conceive?

Hypnotherapy = Positive Change

Hypnotherapy transforms that fear and frustration you’re feeling into a powerful, constructive force. Unlike typical medical treatments, hypnotherapy can benefit both male and female parents-to-be and can be mixed with almost any medical procedure with impressive results.

The programme consists of 4-6 one-hour sessions. Rebates can be claimed from most health funds.

TESTIMONIALS

After falling pregnant rather quickly and then suffering a devastating miscarriage at 12 weeks, my husband and I tried unsuccessfully to conceive again for some months afterwards. I sought Julie’s help using the HypnoFertility techniques. Julie really helped me with eliminating the negative feelings and thoughts I had surrounding the miscarriage and taught me some wonderful visualisation and relaxation techniques.

Less than two months after seeing Julie, my husband and I found out we were pregnant again. I am now 32 weeks pregnant! I truly believe if it weren’t for Julie’s help, we wouldn’t be where we are today.

I first started seeing Julie when I was trying to conceive my first child. A girlfriend who had seen Julie for HypnoBirthing recommended that I see her in regards to HypnoFertility to assist me to fall. I had been trying to fall pregnant for close to a year with no success. After 2 sessions with Julie, I was pregnant. She gave me the belief that I could do it, my body could do it and therefore it was going to happen and of course it did. So once this occurred, there was no doubt in my mind that I would see Julie again for preparation for my birth.

Olivia & Andrew – Thornleigh, Sydney.

I began undergoing HynoFertility with Julie after several unsuccessful IVF attempts and a natural pregnancy that had ended with a miscarriage. My husband and I were undertaking the Jocelyn Centre's natural fertility program and I wanted to try and heal my emotional health at the same time.
Julie was so compassionate and understanding that I immediately felt comfortable with her. She firstly helped me to acknowledge and deal with the grief from my miscarriage that I was carrying with me and then taught me how to relax and to use visualisation every day as I began to change the way that I emotionally approached my fertility treatment. The techniques that Julie taught me were a great comfort to me and I used them as part of my preparations leading up to and during further IVF cycles.
My husband and I were overjoyed to welcome our dear baby Olivia into our lives in January. Olivia is happy and healthy and so loved.

I will never forget the important role that Julie played in our fertility journey and I would not hesitate to recommend HynoFertility and Julie to other couples who are struggling with fertility issues.

TESTIMONIALS

My first labour was long and difficult and so I was anxiously dreading the delivery of my second child. Attending Hypnobirthing sessions with Julie gave me confidence and a relaxed state of mind during the pregnancy. In labour I felt focused and in control of the process, and delivered a beautiful calm and alert baby. I would recommend Hypnobirthing as the only way to give birth!!!

Mandy (& Matthew) Leichhardt, Sydney.

My son was born using the Hypnobirthing method. Prior to the birth I practised the relaxation techniques I'd learnt to help me lose all the fear associated with my impending birth. Instead of fear I had feelings of confidence and I was calm and comforted knowing that I would have a positive experience. When it came to my time to be in labour I stayed at home as long as I could and when I got to hospital I was already fully dilated. Just 3 hours later my son, Jack, was born. I had a wonderful, positive, birthing experience and would really recommend using this technique to anyone. I had no pain throughout the whole experience and at no point considered asking for drugs. After the birth, I was able to relax with my child and I was not overly tired. My husband was so proud of me when our son was born because the whole experience was so relaxed and not what he had been led to believe a birth would be like.

Niki (& Paul) Bondi, Sydney.

My birth was very fast (only 4 hours). My doula was so surprised how fast it went. She thought I was still in pre or early labour when all of a sudden I said I wanted to push. I got out of the bath in a mad hurry and we rushed to the hospital. I delivered our little boy only 30 mins after we arrived at the hospital-it could have been a car birth! Thanks for all the Hypnobirthing work. More than anything it helped me to alleviate all fear. I was never worried once throughout the labour.

Bianca (& Petri) Rose Bay, Sydney.

My waters broke about 8 a.m. and I decided to make the immediate intention to go within. At about 9 the surges had quickened - about 3 mins. apart - so we rang the Birth Centre and they suggested we come in as it was the 2nd child. Had transition down Cleveland St. (that was more about managing than breathing at that stage) and within 10 mins of arrival had a baby girl. So a very sweet and a very manageable labour. We are all doing very well and she is a robust little life force. Thank you so much for your care and love during our preparations. The Hypnobirthing was such a great support and I am recommending it to my friends all over the place!
Kate (& Michael) Tamarama, Sydney.

I saw Julie before I started trying for our first child. I wanted children but not only was I terrified of giving birth, I felt very uncomfortable with the idea of having a baby growing inside of me. After two sessions I felt completely relaxed, open and ready. I had been on the pill for 10 years so I prepared myself for at least 6-12 months of trying. To our absolute delight I fell pregnant in two months. I had a wonderful pregnancy and gave birth to a gorgeous boy.

Now three years later my husband and I decided it was time again for number 2. After two goes and no avail I went to see Julie and that weekend we conceived. I honestly believe that Julie played an important and vital role in my success in both my pregnancies. She is our miracle worker.
