What to expect during a Fertility Massage session?
Fertility Massage begins with a detailed 90-minute session. Due to the deeply personal journey that fertility is, we will spend a little time getting to know each other while we review your medical history and fertility health. * Please note, that the first session can run 2-2.5 hours.
Your first session will also include a Fertility Massage that incorporates a unique combination of therapies; Including, Craniosacral Therapy, Reflexology, Acupressure, Colon cleansing/Castor oil packs, Jaw and TMJ Release, Deep hip and external pelvic work, External uterine & ovarian massage, Visualization & affirmations, and Aromatherapy.
Throughout your initial session I will teach you a variety of self-care techniques that will enable you to create fertility self-care routine to optimize your health and fertility journey.
Follow up sessions are typically 90 minutes, but I'm happy to work within a 60 minute session.
Timing Matters!
Fertility Massage is intended to increase the potential for conception, whether that is completely naturally, with the assistance of medications for either partner or a more in-depth medical assistance such as IVF or IUI.
Fertility Massage and Unassisted Conception
If you and your partner are attempting to conceive naturally, then it’s recommended that Fertility Massage be done between the beginning of your period and the beginning of ovulation. No changes are necessary. Fertility Massage is not performed from ovulation to conception or next period.
Fertility Massage While Taking Clomid or Letrozole
If you are taking any medications that help with ovulation or balancing hormones, a Fertility Massage is beneficially from day 1 of your cycle until the day before ovulation. Some people do not feel up for a massage during their period, and that is totally fine. Typically, we say Cycle Day 6 to Ovulation is comfortable and beneficial, while medicated.
Fertility Massage and IUI or IVF
If you are having a doctor assist by receiving an Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) or In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF), your doctors will talk to in-depth about your timing.
IUI: Fertility Massage can be done Cycle Day 1 up to ovulation.
IVF: Fertility Massage can be done up until implantation, but with a few changes based on your personal timeline.
Up until egg retrieval, I will omit the endocrine reflexology as you have enough medications stimulating those organs. Between egg retrieval and implantation, I will still use the castor oil packs, but omit those endocrine reflexology points.
I will be mindful of working with those who are receiving any hormone shot, as those areas can become very uncomfortable. Please do not hesitate to speak up, during any session, if you have sore areas anywhere on your body.
Fertility Massage After Ovulation
I’m happy to provide a traditional massage or Reiki (with Catherine) after ovulation, but I avoid the deep abdominal work and the reflexology associated with the fertility massage. While a massage will not cause a miscarriage, I am mindful to not use any techniques that may hinder conception or implantation.
Note:
Massage Therapy is safe for all stages of pregnancy, even when you do not know you are pregnant.
Fertility specific massage is a specialty form of massage that is intend only when there is no chance of being pregnant.
