In this holistic fertility webinar as part of the Seed Childbirth Collective, I team up with acupuncturist Tiff Kertesz and reflexologist Linda Stevens — to explore how natural, whole-body approaches can support fertility, hormonal balance, and emotional wellbeing on the journey to motherhood. For those of you who don’t know me I’m Naomi a fertility hypnotherapist specialising in supporting women emotionally and energetically to conceive, carry and birth the babies they long to hold.

Whether you are trying to conceive naturally, preparing for IVF, experiencing fertility anxiety, or feeling stuck in waiting, this conversation offers grounded, compassionate insights into how the mind, nervous system, and body are deeply interconnected in fertility.

What we explore in this conversation

We begin by looking at the emotional and mindset patterns commonly experienced during fertility challenges — including self-blame, pressure, and the belief that the body is “failing.” We discuss how these patterns impact the nervous system, stress hormones, and the body’s ability to feel safe enough to conceive, and how rebuilding trust in the body is a vital part of fertility support.

We unpack what stress really means in fertility — beyond surface-level advice — explaining how chronic stress affects the nervous system, hormonal communication, and emotional resilience, and why feeling regulated and supported matters just as much as physical treatment.

You’ll also hear simple but powerful mindset shifts that can be practiced immediately, especially for those navigating the emotional strain of waiting — waiting for cycles, test results, answers, or outcomes. We talk about how to support yourself emotionally during uncertainty, rather than living in constant anticipation or fear.

From a reflexology perspective, we explore how working with the feet can influence fertility and hormonal balance, what reflexologists often notice in clients experiencing fertility challenges, and how reflexology supports the nervous system and emotional regulation. We also discuss how reflexology can work safely and effectively alongside IVF and medical fertility treatments.

From an acupuncture lens, we touch on how acupuncture supports circulation, hormonal communication, stress reduction, and overall reproductive health, and why it integrates so powerfully with mindset work and reflexology rather than overlapping with them.

As a group, we reflect on why a whole-body, integrative approach is so important for fertility, what many people wish they had understood earlier in their fertility journey, and how fertility support can begin even before actively trying to conceive.

We close by exploring what it truly means to feel safe in the body — and why safety, trust, and regulation are foundational for fertility, conception, and emotional wellbeing.

This video is for you if:

• You are trying to conceive naturally or preparing for IVF
• You feel anxious, stressed, or disconnected from your body during fertility challenges

Introducing Linda Stevens Inner Sole Reflexology

I’m Linda Stevens the face and hands of Inner Sole Reflexology. I understand that fertility challenges can feel overwhelming—physically, emotionally, and mentally. Reflexology can support men and women through their fertility journey.

By working specific reflex points on the feet that correspond with the endocrine system, reproductive organs, and nervous system, reflexology aims to help support the body into a more balanced state. And that matters—because stress, hormonal imbalance, poor circulation, digestive issues and disrupted sleep can all impact fertility.

Many people use reflexology to support relaxation, improve cycle awareness, encourage hormonal balance, and feel more connected to their bodies during what can be a very clinical journey.

If you would like to explore how Reflexology can support you on your fertility journey please contact me at Inner Sole Reflexology on 07841 847272 or through my website where we can plan a bespoke therapeutic plan to support you.
