As 2025 draws to a close, it’s quite an emotional one for me as this year I hosted my very first Fertility Wellness Retreat 🩷

Being able to help and support a group of ladies who were all in desperate need of emotional support during their fertility journey was incredibly special and so rewarding 🩷

No one really prepares you for how hard it is to launch and build a business, but seeing the ladies connect, share stories and feel a deeper sense of support, and hope for the future during their fertility journey made all the setbacks and self-doubt worth it ✨

Thank you to everyone who has helped to make 2025 special for Fertility Retreats, the new friends I have made and of course everyone who attended the Fertility Wellness Retreat. Thank you for trusting me, opening your hearts and allowing me to be part of your fertility journey. It really was an honour 💕

I’m ending 2025 knowing that two of the incredible ladies who attended my Fertility Wellness Retreat are now pregnant after undergoing fertility treatment, which is absolutely amazing and a reminder of why I created my business – to help people emotionally during their time of need 🩷

Sending love and hope to all those who are struggling to conceive. May 2026 be the year your little miracle arrives 🩷

Gentle movement such as yoga can be a powerful source of emotional support for anyone trying to navigating the challenges of conceiving as slow, mindful movement can help to calm an overstimulated nervous system, release built-up tension, create an inner sense of calm during an often stressful time, and ease feelings of overwhelming grief and isolation 🩷

This nurturing approach is exactly why we include gentle movement sessions in all our Fertility Wellness Retreats to help our guests to improve their emotional wellbeing and to create a safe space healing ✨

Yesterday was such an amazing day as I had the pleasure of welcoming a group of truly special ladies to our Rest & Restore Fertility Wellness Retreat at our wonderful host venue Grassfield Hall ❤️

We began the day with fertility supporting drinks and nibbles which set the tone for a day filled with nourishment & self-care, and created a warm and gentle space for connection right from the start ✨

Our Self Compassion and Self Resilience Session was next which invited everyone to reconnect with their inner strength.

Through gentle guidance and shared connection, this session offered comfort, insight and compassion which left our guests felt supported and less isolated 💞

Trying to conceive can feel emotionally overwhelming at times, so caring for your mind and body is essential 🩷

Here are some simple ways you can support your emotional wellbeing, wherever you are in your fertility journey:

🧘‍♀️ Mindfulness
Take a few moments each day to slow down & breathe deeply which helps to ease stress, release negative emotions and maintain a healthy mindset.

🥦 Healthy Diet
Fuel your body with nourishing foods to support hormones. Keeping the body continually nourished with good food choices can help to enhance and optimise fertility health.

💧 Drinking Water
Hydration supports hormone balance, mental clarity and overall vitality. Drinking 8 glasses of water a day can boost energy levels and reduce stress.

🚶‍♀️ Gentle Exercise
Movement releases endorphins and reduces anxiety. Gentle exercise can help achieve a healthy BMI, boost your mind and reduce anxiety.

🌿 Connect With Nature
Connecting with nature helps calm the nervous system. Spending time in the sunshine helps the body to produce Vitamin D which can help to support ovulation and improve s***m quality.

😴 Embrace Relaxation
Schedule moments of calm as simply doing nothing and prioritising self-care can help to relax an emotionally overwhelmed mind & calm the nervous system.

🌙 Sleep
Aim for a minimum of 8 hours sleep every night to help balance key fertility hormones, and improve the immune system which helps to reduce inflammation in the body.

Your emotional health matters, wherever you are in your fertility journey 🩷

World Mental Health Day 2025

Sending love to everyone who is trying to navigate the challenges of conceiving and struggling with their mental health as we mark World Mental Health Day 🩷

Some of the strongest people you know may be silently struggling to become parents and it’s important to remember that the journey to parenthood is difficult for 1 in 6 couples.

For those struggling to conceive, the emotional impact can be extremely overwhelming and can leave many people feeling alone, isolated, and grieving deeply for a child that is longed for 🩷

It’s important to acknowledge that infertility is not just a medial issue, but an emotional rollercoaster as well. The mental health impact is REAL, yet so many people suffer in silence.

If you’re suffering right now, then please remember:

🩷You are not alone
🩷Your pain is valid
🩷Your story matters

Your mental health matters, no matter where you are in your fertility journey 💕
