Abdominal Massage for Fertility

Fertility support through Abdominal Therapy offers a unique approach by addressing the alignment and positioning of the uterus and ovaries, factors often overlooked in other methods. It can be used alongside medical or holistic treatments to support circulation, function, and overall reproductive wellness.

A DEEPER LOOK AT THE PRACTICE

When the reproductive organs are properly aligned, blood flow, lymphatic drainage, and hormonal communication can function optimally, creating a more supportive environment for fertility. When alignment is compromised, this natural flow may be restricted, contributing to challenges with conception and overall reproductive health.

Abdominal Therapy offers a distinctive approach by focusing on the positioning of the uterus and ovaries, an often overlooked factor in fertility care. It works in harmony with both medical and holistic treatments, enhancing the body’s natural ability to support conception.

Because fertility is closely connected to overall wellness, this approach also considers related concerns such as hormonal balance, digestive health, and women’s health, supporting the body as a whole. All concerns will be addressed during sessions.

When should I schedule my Initial Visit?

Scheduling an Initial Visit is optimal at anytime. If you get a period, & part of your cycle is painful/uncomfortable, aim to schedule outside of those days.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions depends on symptoms and health care goals. With mild symptoms, a minimum of 4-6 sessions over 3 months is recommended.

I'm preparing for IVF. When should I start Abdominal Therapy?
