    3 reasons NOT to work with a fertility coach this year

    Episode 138: When you’re trying to conceive, it can feel like everyone is convinced their approach is the answer. This podcast does the opposite. Instead of telling you what you should do, it creates space for you to gently explore whether mind-body techniques feel like the right support for you - right now. No pressure, no fixing - just an honest conversation to help you make choices that truly align with where you are on your journey. The reasons in short:1 - You wouldn’t benefit from being supported as you already feel resilient, in control and have a strong plan in place for supporting both your physical fertility and mental health over the coming 3 - 6 months. 2. - You could put together your own mind-body fertility course from free content on YouTube. There are so many amazing coaches sharing high-quality information on YouTube today so it would be completely feasible for you to sit down and cherry pick videos that could create an outline. However the content is endless and knowing what to watch when in what order and then having the accountability of actually practising is what makes doing a course so empowering. 3. - You have a strong support network of friends and family who completely understand how you feel and know just what to say to make you feel better. You are lucky enough to have friends who are going through this at the moment you are experiencing very similar struggles to yourself and not only that, they have decided to put their own well-being and mental health at the forefront of their priorities so are tuned in with the mind-body techniques that could help you most at this time.  The free class I mention can be accessed instantly here: https://www.embracefertility.co.uk/free-class -------------------------- I'm Naomi Woolfson, of Embrace Fertility, a therapist specialising in supporting women emotionally and energetically through trying to conceive, fertility treatments and then pregnancy and birth following infertility.

    What do you need to let go of to let in a pregnancy?

    Episode 136: You’ve cleaned up your diet to within an inch of its life. You’ve tracked your cycle with NASA-level precision. You’ve taken every supplement, read every book, and done everything “right.” And yet — pregnancy still isn’t happening. In this episode, I invite you to pause and ask yourself one powerful question: 👉 What do you need to let go of in order to let in a pregnancy? Sometimes the answer is loud and clear — a fear, a belief, a habit that’s keeping you tense and trying. Other times, it’s buried deeper — in the subconscious, where your body quietly whispers, “not yet.” I’m sharing what I see in my one-to-one sessions with women who’ve tried everything — years of TTC, IVF, loss, and endless hope followed by heartbreak — and how underneath all the effort, their bodies are often just trying to stay safe. We were taught how not to get pregnant — never how to allow it. In this woodland walk recording, I’ll walk you through how subconscious fears, nervous system stress, and emotional exhaustion can hold the body in survival mode — and how gently releasing them can open the door to possibility. 💛 This episode is for you if: You’ve been trying to conceive and feel emotionally exhausted You’ve been through IVF, miscarriage, or unexplained infertility You’re ready to stop fighting your body and start listening to it It’s time to soften, to let go, and to help your body feel safe enough to say yes. ✨ Join me for The Release Session — a free live experience on Tuesday 18th November — where I’ll guide you through the energetic and emotional shifts that prepare your body to receive pregnancy.

    The Breakthrough No One Talks About: Letting Yourself Feel the Pain of TTC

    Episode 135 : So many women on the fertility journey believe the same thing: “If I let myself really feel the heartbreak, I might never get back up again.” So you keep going. Keep pushing. Keep holding it all together. Because you think strength means not breaking. But here’s the truth no one talks about: ✨ The pain you’re afraid to feel is the very thing your subconscious is holding onto. ✨ Suppressing it doesn’t make it disappear — it keeps your body in protection mode. ✨ And sometimes, finally letting yourself feel it is the exact breakthrough your body needs to feel safe, receptive, and ready for pregnancy. In this episode, I share why “being strong” can actually keep you stuck, and how to release what’s been stored so you can step into calm, safety, and possibility again. If you’ve been white-knuckling your way through TTC, this episode is your permission slip to put the weight down — and discover the shift that changes everything. Release The 3 energetic shifts that finally allow your body feel safe enough to get (and stay) pregnant, even if you’ve been trying to conceive for years Without having to just relax or stay positive Free Release Session - Instant Access https://www.embracefertility.co.uk/free-class ————————- I'm Naomi Woolfson, of Embrace Fertility, a trauma informed hypnotherapist specialising in supporting women emotionally and energetically through trying to conceive, fertility treatments and then pregnancy and birth following infertility.

    Is your subconscious silently pressing pause on pregnancy?

    Episode 134: When I say “your subconscious wants to keep you safe, not happy” — what happens in your body? Most women on the fertility journey feel a sting when they hear that. Because it can sound like betrayal — as if the very part of you that longs for a baby is the same part that’s holding it at arm’s length. In this episode, I unpack what’s really going on. Why your subconscious might be quietly pressing pause on pregnancy — even while your heart is saying “yes, please.” How unexpressed fear, past trauma, or even the pressure to “just relax” can trigger protection mode. And how to tell if this invisible tension is something you’re carrying right now. This isn’t about forcing positivity or pretending you’re not scared. It’s about learning how to work with your emotions, your energy, and your subconscious — so your body feels safe enough to say: I’m ready now. And if this resonates, I want to invite you deeper. Join me for my free masterclass: ✨ When Your Subconscious Says ‘Not Yet’: How to Create the Safety Your Body Needs to Conceive Wednesday 24th September 12pm PDT/3pm EDT/8pm BST Together, we’ll release hidden blocks, reset your nervous system, and help you step into readiness for pregnancy — without toxic positivity, obsessive tracking, or silencing your fear. Sign up at 👉 www.embracefertility.co.uk/free-class ✨ What You’ll Learn in This Free Masterclass In just 60 minutes, you’ll discover: ⭐️Why your subconscious might be quietly pressing pause on pregnancy — even while your heart longs for it. ⭐️The link between nervous system safety and conception (and why stress, fear, or past trauma can keep your body in “protection mode”). ⭐️ Three simple steps to shift from ‘not yet’ to ‘I’m ready now’ — using subconscious rewiring techniques, nervous system regulation, and visualisation practices. ⭐️ A guided subconscious exercise so you leave not just knowing the theory, but actually feeling a shift in your body.

    ‘You Can Be Happy Without A Baby’ - Why That’s Not Wisdom, It’s Gaslighting

    Episode 133: When I say you can be happy without a baby, what happens in your body? It may seem like it’s a piece of wisdom, a piece of advice because yes, of course we know that it’s possible for women to live a joyful content life without children. However when you are struggling to conceive and someone you turn to for advice and support says this to you it can feel like they have absolutely no idea what’s going on inside of you. In this episode, I break down why this common advice backfires, how it keeps you stuck, and why owning your desire for a baby isn’t something you should try to minimise. If you’re tired of being told to shrink your longing, this episode is your permission slip to feel, want, and be fully seen. Join my next free masterclass on Wednesday 24th of September.
