This week we stand with everyone navigating the challenges of conceiving. A time to honour every story and every struggle 🩷

This week is a time to raise awareness, break the silence, open conversations, and stand together in support of everyone facing fertility struggles.

Your voice matters. Your experience matters. You are not alone. 💚

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 sperm 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 💕

Evidence and research has shown that eating a well balanced diet can help to enhance and optimise fertility health in both men and women 💫

Eating foods that support fertility health such as leafy greens, berries, whole grains, seeds & nuts, and colourful vegetables such as peppers can help to balance hormones, improve sperm and egg quality and support regular menstrual cycles.

To ensure the body feels completely nourished, it is recommended to eat:

🍀Dark leafy greens 4-5 times per week.
🌾Whole grains 3-4 times per week.
🍲Lentils and beans – 2-3 times per week.
🍏6-8 portions of fruit and vegetables per week.

Eating a healthy well-balanced diet full of fertility friendly key nutrients at least 3 months prior to trying to conceive can essentially enhance the chance of conception 💗

All the food at our Fertility Wellness Retreats is lovingly prepared by our wonderful chef Paula: Living Life by Design💗

Trying to conceive can sometimes feel emotionally overwhelming.

If you’re navigating the challenges of conceiving, then Yoga is a wonderful supportive holistic therapy which can help to calm the mind, body and soul 🩷

Regular Yoga sessions can also help to:

🌸Reduce Stress: Yoga calms the nervous system, and lowers cortisol levels, which helps to reduce stress and restore hormonal balance.

🌸Boosts Circulation: Gentle poses helps to improve blood flow to the reproductive organs, which supports overall fertility health.

🌸Balances Hormones: Regular practice helps to regulate the endocrine system, which plays a key role in ovulation and optimising fertility health.

🌸Promotes Relaxation & Sleep: Restorative Yoga supports deeper rest, which is vital for hormonal regulation and overall emotional wellbeing.

🌸Encourages Mind-Body Connection: Mindful movement and breathwork helps to promote a more positive mindset and increases natural healing.

🌸Emotional Support: Regular Yoga helps to create a safe space for self-compassion and release, which eases stress and anxiety.

Yoga can be a gentle way to nurture your mind, body and spirt, wherever you are in your fertility journey 🩷
