This time of year can feel especially emotional when you’re trying to conceive and it’s not going how you expected it would.
There are more social events, more emotions, more questions… and often, more is asked of you than you have to give.
And while you can’t avoid every trigger or magically remove the stress of this journey, you can support the way your body moves through it.
One of the most effective tools I’ve seen, both in my own life and in the women I support every day is conscious, intentional breathing.
No forcing yourself to “just relax.”
No pretending things don’t feel devastating and heavy.
But simply giving your nervous system a safe way to decompress after a year that has no doubt asked a lot of you.
Just 5–10 minutes of strategic breathing can shift your body out of stress mode and back into a place of safety - which is essential for hormone balance, circulation, and creating a fertile internal environment.
Swipe through for three simple, science-backed breathing exercises you can use anytime you feel overwhelmed, overstimulated, or emotionally stretched this festive season.
📩 And save this post for the moments when:
➡️ The two-week wait feels all-consuming
➡️ Another pregnancy announcement stirs up big feelings
➡️ You’re trying to hold it together at a family gathering
➡️ Your body is telling you it needs a pause
Supporting your fertility isn’t about eliminating stress, that’s just not possible! It’s more about having nourishing, evidence-based and effective tools to help you navigate the inevitable challenges of this journey.
And your breath is one of the most powerful places to start.
Save this post for when you need it. 🌿❤️
