Fertility Hypnotherapy

You’re in the right place

Fertility Hypnotherapy is Clinical Hypnotherapy that is specifically aimed at improving your wellbeing during your fertility journey and improving your chances of successfully getting pregnant. And Fertility Hypnotherapy is most well know for it’s positive ability to help with unexplained infertility.

But with an increase of 14.4% to 28%, research suggests that hypnosis may also “significantly improve the IVF/ET cycle outcome in terms of increased implantation and clinical pregnancy rates” E.Levitas 2006 

So Fertility Hypnotherapy combines Clinical Hypnotherapy based direct and indirect hypnosis, mind-body techniques and solution focused hypnotherapy to make every aspect of your journey feel better.

According to the World Health Organisation, 1 in 6 couples will struggle to get pregnant at some point in their lives: 

Infertility is a disease of the male or female reproductive system, defined by the failure to achieve a pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular unprotected sexual intercourse. 

The NHS defines regular sex as “every 2 or 3 days”.

 And whilst trying to get pregnant can be a painful struggle, you deserve to look after yourself: physically, emotionally and subconsciously!

Fertility Hypnotherapy helps you to:

Settle your nervous system, helping your body more from fight/flight to rest/digest and reproduce!

Enhance your emotional wellbeing, so avoidance and being ‘triggered’ can start to reduce

Build a deeper connection with your body, so you can work with it, rather than against it

Release subconscious blocks through parts hypnotherapy 

Re-tune the inner voice with hypnosis, solution focused hypnotherapy and NLP

Cleanly address past trauma that might be holding you back or prolonging your journey with Muss Rewind

Visualise what you truly want, reframing the ‘don’t and the won’t into is and am

Your mindset & emotional wellbeing play a powerful role in fertility and conception. And stress, low mood, worry, or even subconscious blocks and traumas could be part of the problem.

Fertility Hypnotherapy can help:

• Optimise your emotional balance and hormones
• Release subconscious ferility blocks
• Learn to settle your nervous system and reduce cortisol levels
• Find space to breath
• Start living again
• Gain emotional control
• Support your IVF journey
• Calm your muscles during embryo transfer
• Let go of stress & negativity
• Move on from trauma

Or when you have been advised to resolve medical issues before conception such as:

• High BMI
• Disordered eating or eating disorders
• Compulsive exercise
• Smoking
• Alcohol

So your reasons for choosing Fertility Hypnotherapy will be unique to you. And whether you feel like your mind is holding you back from natural conception, that you need a calmer state or want a programme of hypnosis for IVF that is evidence based…

You’re in the right place!

Body & Mind

Fertility is usually considered a physical or medical event, but I see it as a holistic event that needs a gentle balance between body & mind.

And modern studies now evidence the negative effects of depression and stress on conception, as well as the astonishing benefits of hypnosis during in-vitro fertilisation.

I’m sure you’ve heard it all…

• They went on holiday and Boom!
• She changed her job and Success!
• Hypnotherapy and Hallelujah!

The subconscious mind can hold out of date beliefs about conception, pregnancy or even birth & parenthood. Many of my clients describe how they feared pregnancy while building their career or spent much of their life believing that a pregnancy would hold them back in some way. Of course, these feelings are completely normal. But for some, these pregnancy fears seem to run a little deeper or be hanging around long after they are needed.

I’m Steph McGee

A Clinical Hypnotherapist who specialises in Fertility Hypnotherapy.

Fertility is my baby! And it’s what started my Clinical Hypnotherapy career. 

I hold diplomas in Hypnotherapy, Medical Hypnotherapy and Solution Focused Hypnotherapy. As well qualifications in Integrated Parts Therapy and Muss Rewind. 

And I’m registered with the Complementary Natural Healthcare Council, which is accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.

My fertilty hypnotherapy journey started 17 years ago.

I couldn’t get pregnant and it was tearing me apart.

We had all the fertility tests, used the normal natural fertility tricks and some of the stranger ones.

But with no ‘obvious’ problems and a diagnosis of ‘unexplained infertility’ I started to wonder if my mind could be holding me back?

You can read how I got pregnant with unexplained infertility, but for me?

Hypnosis for conception was my key to success.

Hypnotherapy helped me:

• Reduce my anxiety
• Find a sense of contentment and trust
• Start living my life again
• Not be triggered by every pregnant women I saw

Hypnotherapy gave me confidence in my body and in my mind.

I felt tangibly different, and was pregnant a few sessions later.

So with a background in biology and psychology, it inspired me to train in Clinical Hypnotherapy & fertility!

The Infertility Mindset

Whether you’re preparing to try, have just starting trying, or have been trying to get pregnant for a while. It’s normal to stress or worry but if left unsupported on a long fertility journey it can start to get worse.

And the subconscious mind can even hold out of date beliefs about conception, pregnancy or even birth & parenthood.

After all, most of us have spent most of our lives trying NOT to get pregnant!

My clients have busy lives & accomplished careers. But with so much successes, it can be a shock when getting pregnant isn’t easy. Fertility worries start to rise, feelings of failure creep in. And perhaps blame or regret starts to kick in aswell.

Infertility is a grief that ease with time, a pain that doesn’t leave and a wound that doesn’t heal.

Relationships change and attitudes alter. And you just need a hand in the right direction…

“I first approached Steph after 2 unsuccessful IVF cycles. Throughout the whole IVF process I’d been anxious and unhappy. And the more I thought about my lack of pregnancy the more these negative feelings increased. I knew something had to change but I wasn’t sure what? After working with Steph, everything feels different. I just feel ready. ” – Sofie (mum of a baby girl after ICSI & IVF)

Hypnotherapy can help create balance. Hypnosis is a gentle, relaxed state of concentration in which relaxation become achievable again.
