My current state isnโt the only thing being refreshed this week, my website is too.
Iโm sneaking in some work while on holidays.
This was my view, my new lovely green banner, the sea and my little one getting a foot massage from grandma ๐ฅฐ
- the site is currently under maintenance - ๐โ๏ธ
However, if you would like more information about the 12-week Empowered Conception Fertility Wellness Program, simply send me a message. ๐ธ
Now to unpacking.

Science shows itโs not about drastic changes, just small, ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐๐ก ๐จ๐๐๐๐ฉ๐จ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐๐ ๐ช๐ฅ. And the best part? These are realistic changes you can weave into your life without stress.๏ฟฝ
โ
โ
Hereโs whatโs possible in just one month:
โ
โ
๐ฅ Nourish your body: Clean, whole foods can boost your womb health and chances of implantation.
โ
๐ธ Calm your hormones: Easing stress lowers cortisol, helping your reproductive hormones find their rhythm and their balance, so key for ovulation.
โ
๐ซ Lift your energy: Gentle movement and 7 to 8 hours of quality sleep support your physical health and hormone balance.
โ
๐ฑ Clear the slate: Cutting toxins protects your egg quality.
โ
๐งก Feel supported: Emotional and social connection can lighten the load of this journey.

With so much information it can be confusing to know what's most effective and what to prioritise.

I understand, Iโve been there too. I struggled for years before I turned to the science of hormones and wellness and made changes to my own routine. It worked!

This morning, I came across a beautiful quote that perfectly captures what self care means to me:
โ
"๐๐ตโ๐ด ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ข๐ฃ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ต ๐ต๐ณ๐บ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฉ๐ข๐ณ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ณ. ๐๐ฐ๐ง๐ต๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ด๐ด ๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ด ๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ด ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ๐ค๐ฆ ๐ค๐ข๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ท๐ฆ."
โ
โ
When I think of softening, I think of releasing tension ๐ฆ and sinking into comfort ๐.
โ
โ
Softening is:
๐ธ Accepting over resisting
๐ธ Feeling over suppressing
๐ธ Holding over pushing through
๐ธ Balance for the hardness
๐ธ Ease for the tension
โ
Softening isn't just about a mental shift, it's a practice that invites us to release tension, to let go, and to find balance.โ
Itโs about sinking into softness instead of feeding the things that fuel stress and tension.
โ
Softening is for ๐ต๐ผ๐น๐ฑ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ด.
โ
Itโs the space in your day or week to tend to yourself - releasing, unwinding, and retoring balance.
When you make the time to soften, youโre luring yourself out of survival mode and easing the toll that stress and its hormones take on your body and emotions. Softening gently restores balance to your system, harmonising both your reproductive hormones and nurturing your fertility.
โ
โ
This quote encapsulates the heart of the ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐น๐ณ-๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐๐ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ Iโll be guiding women through this week. ๐ฟ It perfectly reflects the purpose of creating this retreat: to offer a space for women to soften, release, and find ease.
โ
Reading it this morning was a gift I decided to embrace completely as you can see.
๐ธ ๐ซ ๐ฅ ๐๐งกโ
โ
โ
Talk about alignment! ๐ฅฐ
โ
Just like the quote says, softening opens doors to your wellbeing that force cannot.
โ
โ
What about you?
โ
What comes to mind when you think of softening?

Today I watched the Elvis documentary on TV. I loved how they focused on his earlier years, showing what he could have been if his managers had understood him better, and what he was truly passionate about.
โ
They ended with his 1968 comeback show, when he stood in his full light, hips blazing ๐ฅ, finally being who he was meant to be.
โ
For years, his light had been dimmed ๐.
โ
โ
It reminds me of the different phases we go through in life. The ups, the downs, and those moments when we stand confidently in our light. But sometimes, our sparkle dims, weighed down by the struggles we carry.
โ
โ
In our wellbeing journey, the goal is to shed those heavy layers, add a little more of what fuels our inner fire, and rediscover the vibrant, sparkling version of ourselves.
โ
โ
This is where wellbeing practices come in, theyโre the fuel that helps you feel energised, take action, and make it all feel a little more effortless.
โ
โ
For those of you on a longer fertility journey, it can be easy to feel drained. When you're juggling all the stress and emotions, self-care can get pushed aside. But taking the time to refill your cup makes all the difference.
โ
โ
It helps you:
๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ Manage stress and lessen its impact on hormone balance โ
๐ฅ๐ช Make healthier choices that support your fertility, even when life feels overwhelming โ
๐ฉโโค๏ธโ๐โ๐จ Get you back in the mood ๐ to reconnect with intimacy and keep trying
โ
โ
These practices help your body stay balanced and healthy, growing your fertility from the inside out ๐ฑ๐ธ.
โ
โ
Thatโs exactly what the ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐น๐ณ-๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐๐ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ next week (Nov 18-24) is all about. A space to reconnect with yourself, reduce stress, and feel supported on your fertility journey.

Your journey to motherhood isnโt a one-off eventโitโs a continuous path that starts before conception.
When we focus only on pregnancy, we miss the power of preconception wellbeing care. How you nourish your body, mind ๐ง , and emotions now plays a vital role in shaping not only your fertility ๐ฑ but also the health of your pregnancy, and ultimately, your child.
By making self-care a priority today, youโre building a stronger foundation for tomorrow. Whether itโs reducing stress, eating clean with intention, or simply listening to your body, the work you do before conception impacts every step of your journey ahead.
This is why preconception care matters. Itโs not just about preparing for pregnancy ๐คฐ๐ป โitโs about giving yourself the best chance to flourish ๐ธ as you move through each stage of motherhood.
If youโre ready to explore self-care practices that support your fertility and future, I invite you to join my free 7-day Self-Care for Fertility Retreat this November 18.
Itโs a chance to reconnect with yourself and create a strong, healthy foundation for the journey ahead.
Warmly, Ileana

Sometimes less is more ๐ธ๐งก
When it comes to trying to have a baby you might be trying to do all the things.
Following doctorโs advice, reading books suggesting a bunch of supplements, things youโre reading in forums or online social media. Youโre trying to take it all in and implement what you can.
What if, instead you found a way to do less?
Instead of doing everything, or nothing when youโre too stressed, you found a few simple and easy strategies that ticked more than just one box.
For example gratitudeโฆ
Did you know that a simple gratitude exercise not only helps to train your brain to look for the good that is happening around you and builds your positive outlook, but if you do it 3-4 times a week, it can influence your body repairing itself.
Itโs not just a simple yet powerful positive psychology tool, it can help to relieve stress and help repair your body.
Such a simple exercise thatโs really helpful for dealing with the stressful journey of trying to conceive.
