TESTIMONIALS
If you’re feeling emotionally overwhelmed in any of these situations…I can help!
🤍 You’ve been trying to conceive naturally for a while, perhaps you’ve been diagnosed with “unexplained infertility”, and have been told all your tests are “normal”.
🤍 You have suffered a pregnancy loss(es), and have been told you won’t get a referral to the recurring miscarriage clinic for further investigations until you've experienced three consecutive pregnancy losses. and are worried you may never get to have your baby.
🤍 You have PCOS, an anovulatory cycle (not ovulating), Post-pill syndrome, or your period has stopped, and you haven’t had any success getting pregnant.
🤍 You're struggling with secondary infertility, and have been unable to get pregnant, or carry your baby to term.
🤍 You’re planning to start your first round of IVF, or donor cycle, or you’ve already undergone fertility treatments unsuccessfully, and would like help to optimise your health and get in a more positive mindset, to give yourself the best chance of a successful outcome.
🤍 You’ve had a Fertility MOT and have been told you have low AMH, poor egg quality, or your age is a factor, and the next step is IVF, or egg donor, taking a toll on your mental health.
🤍 You have endometriosis, suffer with painful heavy periods, and are concerned it could be affecting your fertility, and want help to reduce inflammation, and regulate your cycle to be in the best place to conceive naturally, or through assisted conception.
🤍 You have PMS, fatigue, difficulty sleeping, stress & anxiety, irregular cycles, spotting before period, and are worried you have fertility problems.
🤍 Your partner has suboptimal sperm parameters, you’ve been told to keep trying, or IVF or ICSI is your best option, and you’ve heard reflexology, and making dietary & lifestyle changes can help to improve sperm quality.
🤍 You may have been struggling for years with something like general, social, or health anxiety, which can amplify the difficulties you're already experiencing while trying to conceive.
🤍 You have unresolved trauma, PTSD, or grief and have never had an opportunity to process those feelings, and feel this is feeding into your infertility trauma.
Fertility Reflexology Bundle
The Freedom Fertility Formula™
A unique approach to fertility care that supports the mind-body connection.
The longing for a baby, the grief of pregnancy loss, the pressure of fertility treatments and tests, can leave you feeling alone, overwhelmed, anxious and depressed. Often with a lost sense of control, and holding on to negative beliefs which may include feelings of failure, self-blame, and guilt.
You may feel disconnected from friends, family, or colleagues, who don’t struggle with infertility because you feel embarrassed or ashamed to share what you’re going through. Or find it difficult to talk about how you’re feeling because they don’t understand, or may give you insensitive advice.
Every month that passes can add to the urgency, isolation, and feelings of hopelessness; made even harder each time you hear that another friend is expecting a baby, can be a massive blow, bringing up feelings of anger.
If you can relate to any of the above I want you to know you’re not alone, I am here to support you on your fertility journey every step of the way.
The Freedom Fertility Formula™ is a unique approach to fertility care, that takes you on a healing journey through taking small, but powerful steps to heal your nervous system and rewire your brain, so you can handle and cope better with whatever you are faced with.
The really great news is that whilst you are doing that you are also enhancing your chances of becoming pregnant, because it has a positive effect on your physiology.
“Gaynor has been a fantastic support to me on my fertility journey as I struggled with recurrent miscarriage. She has taken an holistic approach and been a fantastic emotional support for me. She helped me to fully review my lifestyle and make simple changes to boost my fertility. The emotional support sessions were fantastic, and helped me to re-frame things and move forwards in a positive way. I am now 7 months pregnant and am so thankful to Gaynor for her help along the journey.”
“I found Gaynor during the depth of my despair following two miscarriages. I was at the beginning of my journey to try again and I strongly believe that Gaynor’s support has got me to where I am now. Gaynor not only gave me the emotional support I needed, but pieced together everything I had been through physically. This included advice on nutrition, vitamin supplements and general support.
Most importantly, Gaynor got me to an accepting mindset and I don’t think it was a coincidence that I fell pregnant following this.”
“My partner and I had been TTC for almost 3 years before I came to see Gaynor. Most months just ended in disappointment but we’d also gone through 2 early miscarriages. Both in our mid to late thirties, we had resigned ourselves to a child free future together. I fell pregnant within a month of starting to see Gaynor. After a long 9 months, we have just welcomed our gorgeous little boy into the world and it is without doubt that Gaynor’s involvement set us on the right track. Thank you!!”
“I first started my sessions with Gaynor last year.. I have got pcos and there was other issues we were faced with that was making it very difficult to conceive.. after going private and them saying that the next stop was IVF I just couldn’t accept that.. that was our last and only option. I followed all of Gaynor’s advice had a break from the private clinic and we amazingly got pregnant with twins! All natural! Both are amazing and doing well now 13 weeks old! on top of all that we not only got pregnant but we were healthy and eating well! Don’t give up on your journey because Gaynor is a little glimmer of hope that we all need! Thank you Gaynor for everything!”
”Gaynor was such a positive part of my infertility journey. The moment I met her I knew she really cared about what I was going through… I am currently sat here with my 11 week old, who was our first transfer. I truely believe gaynor had a massive part to play on the success of my IVF. Thanks so much Gaynor you really are amazing!”
“After 5 years of trying to conceive our longed for baby…we were told we had unexplained infertility with a few red flags around my egg count and low AMH, and were brushed off and told we wouldn’t conceive naturally, Words can not express how grateful we are that we stumbled upon her website. I’m now sat here writing this with our gorgeous baby boy in my arms, conceived naturally, still in disbelief really but totally over joyed. We will be forever grateful to Gaynor who has helped bring us our greatest joy.”
“Gaynor helped me through the many early stages of IVF from testing days to the early scans and the tools/techniques she taught me to handle these I still use today to help me stay in the positive mind set and shift any negative thoughts. I am now 14 weeks pregnant and I can honestly say I don't think we would be where we are without the help, support, advice and guidance from Gaynor, I just wish I had met her sooner in our journey!”
“As soon as I began my treatment sessions with Gaynor I noticed a difference in the results I was getting at follicle scans and I actually began ovulating which I hadn’t been doing before on the clomid alone. I also felt better and more relaxed about what was happening and generally healthier. I am certain that my regular sessions with Gaynor were a key factor in helping us to secure our positive pregnancy test on our first full cycle of treatment and something that we will be both be eternally grateful for.”
Benefits to you of reflexology & supporting the mind-body connection, can include
🤍Feeling less stressed and anxious, so you can feel more peaceful in your life
🤍Creating balance & regulation in your nervous system so you can feel empowered to be able to handle anything that comes your way
🤍Relief from constipation & bloating, so you can get into a regular daily toilet routine
N.B if you’re not passing a stool every day you have some degree of constipation, if we have a stool in our bowel for more than 24 hours it’s likely toxins can be recirculated back into the system, increasing our toxic burden impacting all systems in the body.
🤍Reduced internal inflammation, so you can feel calm in your body
🤍Natural hormone balance, regular monthly cycles, clear ovulation, no spotting before period, mood stability, instead of feeling disconnected from your body
🤍Balanced blood sugar levels (particularly important for those with an insulin metabolism, often associated with PCOS)
🤍Clearer radiant skin
🤍Restful sleep so you can wake feeling refreshed
🤍Increased energy
🤍Getting to your healthiest weight
🤍Not needing coffee to function
…And more!
WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY
Your period is a reflection of your emotional and physical health
Some contributors to irregular cycles can be stress, low body weight, over exercising, thyroid issues, PCOS, hyperprolactinemia, infection, inflammation, blood sugar issues, endocrine disrupters, structural abnormalities, poor ovarian reserve, & unresolved trauma.
I address all of this in my fertility courses.
Higher levels of stress associated with a longer time to pregnancy
A study showed higher levels of stress measured by salivary alpha-amylase are associated with a longer time-to-pregnancy (TTP) and an increased risk of infertility…Couples were followed for up to 12 months as they tried to conceive and through pregnancy if it occurred.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24664130/
The effects of unprocessed trauma on fertility are proven by research
Results from a study prove women who experienced adversities during childhood (ACE)…abuse, neglect, the loss of a parent, household dysfunction (exposure to domestic violence, parents separating, mental illness) or parental substance abuse prior to age 12…were more likely to have experienced fertility difficulties and periods of amenorrhea lasting three months or more, and had an increased time to pregnancy.
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4854288/
Repressed emotions, PTSD, grief, accumulated stress, from traumatic life events (past or current), and infertility trauma, can feed into each other impacting a woman’s ability to conceive.
I offer The Freedom Fertility Formula™, and Root-Cause Therapy for emotional & trauma healing, to support you on your fertility journey.

Fertility reflexology
How Does Fertility Reflexology Work?
Supporting the body to return to homeostasis, I will create a treatment plan specific to you, taking into account any underlying conditions; to help optimise your health & well-being and your chances of conceiving & carrying a healthy baby to term, for both men and women.
A regulated menstrual cycle is a sign of good health, my aim is to support you through weekly or biweekly sessions, working specific points on the feet, that correspond to the different systems in your body, to help regulate your cycle, and promote detoxication, and blood flow to the ovaries, testes (for men), and the uterus.
In particular your nervous system (through the vagus nerve), digestive system, immune system, lymphatic system, and endocrine system (your hormones).
As well as supporting your partner to improve sperm health.
You don’t need to be in person to receive the benefits of reflexology, as we discovered in lockdown, I will show you the exact acupuncture, meridian, points to work.
The Freedom Fertility Formula™
Coaching gives you an opportunity to explore barriers and equips you with the mind-body tools you need, while helping you to process all that you are going through. Guiding you step-by-step through your fertility journey by helping you to feel confident in your decision making, and continuously taking small actionable steps so you’re always moving forward with your life. Helping you to build a flexible resilient nervous system so you can feel calm and empowered to be able to handle anything that comes your way.

HOW DOES GUT HEALTH IMPACT FERTILITY?
Have you heard of the gut-brain axis? It refers to the constant two-way communication of information between gut microbes and the central nervous system.
Have you ever felt butterfly’s in your stomach when seeing someone you love, or lost your appetite when you’re stressed? Advanced research have described the importance of gut microbiota in influencing the interactions between emotional & cognitive health.
The gut-brain axis (GBA) can easily be disrupted by many different factors, such as environmental toxins, stress, antibiotics, causing the microbiota in the gut to become unbalanced, triggering an immune response, this is called dysbiosis.
This can lead to inflammation which is a significant contributor to anxiety and depression, and involved in gastrointestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), and colitis.
Which impairs absorption of nutrients, therefore impacting fertility. and can lead to other chronic health conditions like pain, fibromyalgia, UTIs, and has a profound impact on mental health and the functioning of the nervous system.
- Learn what, and how, you should eat for a healthy gut.
I REALLY WANT TO DO THIS COURSE BUT HOW CAN I JUSTIFY THE MONEY?
Investing in ourselves can be so scary. Especially if we’ve spent the majority of our lives caring for other people or experienced financial trauma.
I want you to know that you deserve to have a full life.
You deserve to get unstuck in the ways you’re wanting.
You deserve to have tools you can use to shift your experience.
One of the best things about this course is that it covers many modalities, so you’re getting all the foundational tools in one place
While I’d never want you to make a financial commitment that would cause harm in some way, if it’s scary because it’s a bit of a stretch, then I’d invite you to see what that’s like to put yourself first.
Reflexology for Pregnancy
“I started to see Gaynor right at the start of my pregnancy and her guidance on nutrition and general well being were invaluable. Gaynor’s knowledge and recommendations made me feel more confident about my pregnancy through quickly recommending the right vitamins, talking me through additional foods to eat, I could chat through how I’d been advised by health care professionals and Gaynor would dissect it into practical terms for me to implement. The reflexology treatment was the most relaxed I felt in all trimesters of pregnancy right up to the end. Thank you for all your support Gaynor.”

Reflexology Lymphatic Drainage
RLD Lymphatic Drainage, is an award-winning reflexology technique which focuses on stimulating the lymphatic reflexes on the feet.
The aim is to cause an effect on the lymphatic system in the body.
It’s unique sequence that has been researched and developed by Sally Kay BSc(Hons), whilst working in Cancer Care, to help with the management of lymphoedema for patients affected by treatment to breast cancer. It may help all forms of lymphoedema, both primary and secondary.
Lymphatic drainage massage (MLD) is used to treat conditions other than lymphoedema, and RLD may be used similarly to treat the following conditions:
Arthritis
Asthma
Eczema
Chronic fatigue
Fibromyalgia
ME
Sinus problems
Migraines
Headaches
Muscular tension
Aches and pains
Premenstrual Syndrome
Post-injury swelling:
Excess puffiness in an area on your body may be a sign that your lymphatic system isn’t working quite as it should, so RLD could be helpful to reduce some of the swelling away.
Oedema/fluid retention:
Reflexology lymphatic drainage (RLD) helps to ease all that fluid away, pushing it towards the lymph nodes where it can be eliminated. This is one of many reasons you may leave your treatment feeling lighter and more energised.
Eases tension in the body
RLD can be truly relaxing. The sweeping gestures and the increase of lymph flow often works wonders at easing tension throughout your body.
RLD is NOT suitable for clients with:
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
Kidney failure
Cellulitis
