    Can the wisdom of ancient medicine be the key to your fertility?

    Can the wisdom of ancient medicine be the key to your fertility?

    Episode 124: Another fertility expert interview to celebrate the launch of a fabulous new book 'The Way of Fertility.' ⁠

    Insightful, inspiring and full of hope alongside beautiful true life stories from Michelle's clients. ⁠

    In this week's episode we discuss:

    - How emotions impact the body from the lens of Chinese medicine

    - The role of intuition when it comes to reproductive health

    - Heart-uterus connection and how modern research findings reflect it

    - The power of being in a state of flow and how it relates to our vitality

    - The impact that the mind has over our body

    An excerpt from my favourite part of the book:

    “Vibrations play a⁠ crucial role in our daily lives; vibration is what inherently connects us to the world around us.

    We ourselves emit vibrations, and we are constantly responding to vibrations of all kinds, including the sound waves we hear, the energy that surrounds us, and the frequency at which our emotions⁠ resonate.

    By understanding the profound impact that these vibrations have on us, we can harness their harmonious potential to improve our overall well-being.⁠

    When we are in a state of balance and harmony, our vibrations are aligned, and we radiate coherent energy. Conversely, when our vibrations are⁠ disrupted or out of sync, we may experience feelings of unease⁠ or discomfort."

    ⁠This book shares the energetics of fertility through the lens of ancient wisdom and I love it.

    Michelle Oravitz, L.Ac, FABORM is an acupuncturist, specializing in Fertility Health. She found her love in Chinese medicine after it helped her through her own menstrual cycle challenges and this inspired her to change her career from architecture to acupuncture. Michelle is the host of a top rated podcast called ‘The Wholesome Fertility Podcast’ .

    She has been endorsed by best-selling authors such as Aimee Raupp, Jessica Ortner, and Dr. Lisa Miller. Michelle has been on a mission to help women get pregnant (naturally and IVF preparation) through her one on one work at her acupuncture clinic as well as online.

    She recently authored a new book, The Way of Fertility, which dives deep into the energetics of fertility through the lens of ancient wisdom. Michelle believes that our bodies are hardwired to procreate and by connecting to our inherent wisdom, we can awaken our natural reproductive vitality.

    Episode 121: So many of my clients say to me “I wish I’d found you sooner”. But that’s not what they mean, they mean they wish they had started practising the mind-body techniques that I share sooner so that they felt the relief earlier on in their fertility journey.

    How to go from surviving to thriving while trying to get pregnant

    How to go from surviving to thriving while trying to get pregnant

    Episode 120: While waiting for your baby, does it feel like you're just spinning your wheels? Sometimes you are so overwhelmed and so scared that you can't even think straight, and so you're trying to make decisions and you're researching.

    You're on Dr Google, you're on Instagram and everyone's shouting at you and everyone's saying you need to do this to get pregnant, or you need to look at this, or this is the new wonder supplemental. Have you tried this?

    And you're like oh my word, like there's just so much out there. And then, on top of that, you're trying to stay positive, trying to stay in the vibe and it feels like this is impossible.

    And so you end up planning out and thinking about not just what you're doing now, this cycle, but what your plan B is. And actually, let's just get real, it's not plan B, is it? By this point, those of you that are listening to the Embrace Fertility podcast it's probably like plan J. Plan J all the other plans, a onwards, have not worked.

    We're now on plan J and then you're thinking about the plan after that and the plan after that and the plan after that, because that's what we're used to doing.

    How to decide when to start or recommence fertility treatment

    How to decide when to start or recommence fertility treatment

    Episode 119: “My fertility specialist wants me to do IVF next cycle but I don’t feel ready.” I hear this a lot as a fertility therapist and coach.  We can feel so anxious and overwhelmed when a fertility specialist or even our partner is pushing us to take the next step forward with treatment but we don’t feel ready.   In this episode I share three different mind-body techniques to allow you to make a decision from a place of confidence rather than fear.   I discuss how to decide when you should start or continue fertility treatment.  Resources mentioned:  www.embracefertility.co.uk/free-class www.embracefertility.co.uk/embrace www.embracefertility.co.uk/coaching  EFT Tutorial - www.embracefertility.co.uk/blog/eft-tapping-for-infertility-and-fertility/ The private grief of infertility and pregnancy loss - https://www.embracefertility.co.uk/blog/grief-of-infertility
