If you're trying to get pregnant, you already know how much is being asked of you. The appointments, the procedures, the hope and the heartbreak that can come in the same week. You're doing everything right. And it's still not happening.

I know that place.

I share this not just as a hypnotherapist in Los Angeles, but as someone who has sat in that waiting room. I spent 4 years navigating the ups and downs of IVF, complete with multiple surgeries, tests, and procedures after being told many times to consider a donor egg or adoption, and after being given statistics to “manage my expectations.”

Smash cut to me giving birth at 43 and 46 years old- ahem- years young, that is.

What I came to understand is that there is more to having babies than medicine and anatomy. The mind is also part of the equation. And that changes everything.

This has become the foundation for the specialized area of my practice: fertility hypnotherapy and subconscious healing for women walking that road.

When the body won't do what the mind wants

When someone is medically cleared to conceive, but pregnancy isn't happening, there is often something operating below the level of conscious awareness. Not a flaw or a failure; a belief.

It might be grief from a previous loss, or guilt from an earlier choice. It could be a fear so quiet you've never said it out loud, about motherhood, about your relationship, about whether you're ready, whether you're enough. The subconscious mind is extraordinarily powerful. When it holds a conflicting belief, the body listens.

Hypnotherapy works at exactly that level. We find what's there, we shift it, and we give the body new information to work with.

How it works alongside your fertility journey

Hypnotherapy isn't a replacement for your medical care. It's a complement to it, something you can weave into whatever path you're on, whether that's trying naturally, working with acupuncture, going through IUI, or navigating IVF.

Through our virtual sessions and personalized recordings, we work to clear subconscious beliefs that may be creating resistance to pregnancy, support your nervous system through the stress of fertility treatments, and help your body receive the message that it is ready and capable, and that a healthy pregnancy is possible. This is trauma-informed, body-aware work that can be applied specifically to you and your situation.

This works whether you're at the beginning of your journey or deep in the middle of it. It is even useful after your journey concludes, no matter the results.

Pregnancy is more than science. If you're curious whether working with the subconscious mind could be part of your path, I'd love to connect.
