Fertility
treatment in Oxford. Improve the success of IVF and
other fertility treatments by harnessing the power of
the mind and removing subconscious blocks.
The use of hypnosis in Fertility.
In Britain we tend to think of infertility
exclusively as a medical problem, however we all know
people who tried desperately for years to conceive
and then the minute they gave up and stopped trying
... guess what happens!
According to recent studies- "infertile" women who
use hypnotherapy techniques have a 42-55% conception
rate as compared to 20% for those not following this
protocol.
A 1992 study found that women who participated in
hypnotherapy therapy experienced a 34% conception
rate as compared to 20% with Invitro Fertilisation
alone. Decreased levels of depression, anxiety and
anger were also noted.
I work with a proven program developed by a leading
American hypnotherapist Lynsi Eastburn. The program
consists of a minimum of 4 sessions with an average
of about 6 it can be used alone or along side medical
fertility treatment to greatly increase the chances
of success.
When it is used with IVF it ideally starts a month or
so before IVF commences. It often occurs that a
couple that are booked in for IVF will fall pregnant
before the treatment actually occurs!
Those wishing to conceive naturally are looking at a
small fraction of the cost of IVF and they learn a
skill that will remain with them for the rest of
their lives. Not only will they increase the chances
of conception with hypnotherapy, but they will reap
the fringe benefits including stress reduction and
relaxation skills.
Far too many women are being diagnosed with
"Unexplained Infertility." Characterized by a lack of
measurable, physical reasons for being unable to
conceive, this catch-all diagnosis may do more harm
than good, by increasing a patient's stress levels.

of Unexplained Infertility, on the [old]

The Fertility
Program
The HypnoFertility program helps you release
conscious and unconscious blocks which may be
preventing conception.
Therapy sessions are tailored for each client, based
on their individual needs. The initial interview
helps to identify areas that can be changed, and a
care plan is established based on identified factors.
Hypnotherapy techniques can reduce stress, and
instill a sense of confidence and hope. In turn, this
will help you to maximise chances of conceiving
naturally and/or increase the success of medical
assistance.
1. Identify and remove conscious and unconscious
blocks which may be preventing conception.
2. Gain a positive outlook, and renew trust in your
body’s ability to conceive.
3. Remain calm, patient, and in control throughout
natural or assisted conception.
4. Prepare your body physically and emotionally to be
a good and loving parent.
5. Have assistance with any lifestyle changes that
may be necessary to help couples conceive. This
may include; weight loss and diet improvement,
stopping smoking.
The Science
Behind Hypnosis for Fertility
A recent
Israeli study showed that the success rate of IVF
treatments doubled in his test group from 14% to 28%,
when the subjects underwent hypnosis during
implantation. Professor Eliahu Levitas conducted this
study with 185 women. Read some of
his findings on hypnosis for
fertility.
Dr. Gayle Peterson has developed a technique called
Body-Centered Hypnosis. Dr. Peterson has found that
high anxiety states in the mother must be reduced in
order to normalize pregnancy and birth. She sites
several research studies that suggest a positive link
between fertility and treatments based on hypnosis.
She is a pioneer in the field of mind/body states and
their effects on fertility, pregnancy and birthing.

Dr. Alice Domar has been published in several
important journals, such as Fertility & Sterility
(1990 and 2000) and the Journal of the American
Medical Women's Association (1999). She emphasizes
"mind/body" techniques that include self-hypnotic
suggestions to reduce stresses that interfere with
conception and healthy pregnancy. Domar is the author
of Conquering Infertility, and other books on the
topic. See more about Dr. Domar's research
here.
Dr. Ernest L. Rossi specializes in psychobiology, or
the relationship between the mind and physical body
states. He has done extensive research to suggest
that human genes must be in a state of physical
readiness for conception to take place, and that
hypnotic-type suggestions can activate specific
genes, including the IL-1, c-fos, and the CYP17 in a
specific order. See a list of his research
papers here. Click here to read about his book, The
Psychobiology of Gene Expressions.
At the Institute of Applied Psychology in Lisbon
Portugal, a team of researchers led by Katharina
Hirschenhauser has concluded that men who actively
want to be fathers automatically adjust their
testosterone levels at exactly the right time (the
middle of their partners' menstrual cycles). Read
more about Hirschenhauser's work here. Perhaps there is no better
hypnotic suggestion for a male partner than the
idea that he wants to become a father.
