“When I started the sessions with Gaynor I was in a dark place, feeling anxious about the future and fearful of our next steps. Triggers were everywhere and they were sending me into a spiral of anxiety and depression all the time, After all this time I feel I am coping better with triggers by using the techniques regularly, I am allowing myself to say no and look after myself without guilt, and I feel stronger and more resilient again.”

I’m absolutely over the moon to say my client went onto have a successful final round of IVF & her second transfer resulted in the birth of her baby.

“Thank you so much for all your support through so many parts of our journey. 💙❤️ We got there and he has been worth the wait xx”

”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!”

“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.”

Then this is for you!

Includes:
- A blood review for “optimal” levels for fertility & pregnancy (so often women are told their bloods are “normal” when in-fact they are suboptimal as NHS ranges are so broad)

- Guidance on what you can do to improve suboptimal levels / get your levels into optimal range

- Dietary & lifestyle advice to improve overall health & egg quality

- Supplement review & plan with 33% discount off your first supplement order for Practitioner grade, bio-effective supplements for bettter absorption.

In preparation for your session, you & your partner (if relevant) be given a list of bloods to either request from your GP or you can order them privately.

You will be asked to complete a Health Questionnaire, to identify your nutrition and health status. Meeting you where you are on your fertility journey, we will get clear on your healing/health goals, and review your medical history, food diary, and your current blood tests (please provide copies / or I’ll provide you with a list of bloods to request from your GP & review later). This will be followed up with a dietary & lifestyle health plan, her/his (if applicable) supplement protocol, and advice for additional bloods (if appropriate) from your GP, or privately.

Fertility Reflexology Sessions - £60

Using specific protocols to optimise your natural fertility health, 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 (dependant on your individual status), working specific points on the feet that correspond to the different systems in your body, to help regulate your cycle, support lymphatic drainage to promote detoxification, reduce inflammation, and promote blood flow to the ovaries, testes (for men), and the uterus.

Vaginal Microbiome Testing

This is a home test through INVIVO (microbiome testing specialists), the test is sent out to you, once returned & your results are back we can book in a consultation for an interpretation of your results.

I have undergone training with Invivo in The Reproductive Microbiome & The Female Ecology, to help with interpreting your results.

WHO IS THIS TEST FOR?

If you are struggling to conceive with unexplained infertility, have a history of bacterial vaginosis (BV), recurring UTIs, recurring implantation failure, or recurring miscarriage.

For more information please get in touch here Contact me

WHAT DOES THE RESEARCH SAY?

Women with a low percentage of Lactobacillus in their vaginal sample were less likely to have a successful embryo implantation.

Additionally, the degree of dominance of Lactobacillus crispatus was an important factor in predicting pregnancy.

Analysis of the vaginal microbiome prior to treatment might, therefore, offer an opportunity to improve the success rate of IVF or IVF-ICSI.

Knowledge of their vaginal microbiota may enable couples to make a more balanced decision regarding timing and continuation of their IVF or IVF-ICSI treatment cycles.

ADDITIONAL TESTING I RECOMMEND

Thyroid blood test

This test not only includes an Advanced thyroid profile which includes thyroid antibodies, but also Vitamin D, Ferritin & Active vitamin B12

https://thriva.co/blood-test-packages/thyroid-blood-test?purchaseType=oneOff


Omega-3 Index Complete Test

Learn more about your cells
This test measures:


Omega-3 Index


Omega-6:Omega-3 Ratio


AA:EPA Ratio


Trans Fat Index


Individual fatty acid levels

Having a higher proportion of EPA and DHA in the membrane tracks with how much omega-3 is in your diet, is a marker of better health. Raising your Omega-3 Index to the desirable zone of 8% will help ensure you are getting enough of the right omega-3s — EPA and DHA — to protect your health.

Testimonials

“I am incredibly grateful for the expertise and compassion that Gaynor brought to my fertility journey. Following two miscarriages I was encouraged by a counsellor to explore additional support options and Gaynor came highly recommended.

I believe that her deep understanding of reflexology played a vital role in our path to conception. The calming and nurturing environment that she created enabled me to completely relax, and her intuitive touch seemed to always target exactly what my body needed. Gaynor not only provided physical support but also offered vital emotional encouragement and health advice throughout my journey.

After visiting Gaynor for treatments for a few months I fell pregnant again and her guidance saw me through the whole pregnancy to the birth of my son in early September. Her dedication and expertise are truly exceptional, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking fertility support."

“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.”
