Hey, I’m Lucy
And I know these feelings inside out – because I’ve felt Every. Single. One. of. Them.
And if you’re a high-achiever like me that’s used to working out exactly what to do to get what you want (and doing what it takes to make it happen) you’ve already done ALL the research and tried everything “they say” will help:
Acupuncture, supplements, cycle-tracking, timed-sex, cutting out alcohol and caffeine – maybe even sugar
But none of it is working
And that’s making you a little short of breath because you’re running out of time
My clients come to me feeling run-down and resentful about all the things they’ve given up – or taken up – to try and get pregnant
They’re emotionally exhausted, stressed and scared and they often feel like they’ve lost themselves in looking for the answers
But what they don’t realise is that there’s one stone they haven’t turned over – and I want to turn that stone over for you – because that is what led me to having 3 beautiful children
This (on the right) is what your brain looks like if you’ve been trying to conceive for months – and the longer you’ve been trying, the more stressed and worried you’ve become so that you’re constantly in a low-level state of chronic stress
It’s supposed to look like the image on the left.
And what nobody is talking about, is that these elevated stress levels have a direct impact on your fertility by altering hormones, reducing blood flow to reproductive organs, and affecting immune function.
Your hormones get completely out of balance, ovulation becomes more irregular, implantation can be disrupted – and your body basically switches into survival mode.
And it goes deeper than the mechanical effects of stress on your body.
Because your brain is literally sending messages to your body that “it’s not safe to have a baby right now”.
The emergency break is on and the signal is clear.
And the problem is the longer it’s taking you to conceive, the harder it becomes because your stress level increases and you’re constantly sending messages to your body that it’s not safe to conceive.
And that’s often compounded by the very things you’re TRYING to do, to conceive.
All of the physical things – the supplements, dietary changes, lifestyle modifications – further reinforce this sense of stress, and pressure.
You feel like you’re doing everything you can – but you haven’t got the biggest, most influential, most powerful agent-of-change on board with you; your brain.
This isn’t Woo-Woo Quackery, there’s hard scientific proof that our emotional state, the thoughts we have and how we feel about something has a huge impact in our bodies.
I know from personal experience how powerful this work is – because I’d been all but written off at 41 when I did an IVF cycle, but because I’d done the inner work before and during my treatment meant I actually got the best possible number of mature eggs and highly graded embryos which resulted in my rainbow twins.
Back in 2015, there was a study by Frederiksen et al. that explored whether stress-reduction techniques could improve IVF outcomes. They took a group of women undergoing IVF and split them into two groups: one group received stress-reduction training, and the other didn’t.
So, what happened?
The women who took part in the stress-reduction programme, which included relaxation techniques and mindfulness, reported significantly lower levels of stress and anxiety. And here’s the exciting part: 52% of them got pregnant, compared to just 20% in the group that didn’t have the training. That’s more than double the success rate. I often work with women who’ve previously tried acupuncture, hoping it alone would boost their chances—but research suggests acupuncture may only increase pregnancy rates by around 10–15%. While it can be a helpful support, it doesn’t have the same impact as a more holistic emotional and psychological approach.
This really highlights how much emotional well-being can influence fertility. When we reduce stress and anxiety, it can significantly boost the chances of IVF success. For me personally, doing this inner work made all the difference. It helped me approach IVF feeling calm and confident—after years of fearing it was something I wouldn’t be able to cope with, just another overwhelming roll of the dice.
The mind-body connection is powerful, and this study proves it.
*I have many scientific research reports and evidence based documents if you would like to read more on the impact stress has on your fertility and your chances of pregnant. Email me and I will send them to you.
Listen, I’m not suggesting you can “think” or “will” yourself pregnant – but the scientific evidence that what goes on in our mind – how we think and feel – impacts what happens in our bodies is irrefutable – do some research of your own – read The Expectation Effect for some mind-blowing examples of the power of the mind in creating dramatic changes in health and wellbeing.
I’ve seen with my clients time and time again that when you’re able to fundamentally shift how you feel about getting pregnant, when you’re able to process your emotions, release the fear, reprogramme how you respond to things you don’t feel like you can control and get your mind and body connected and working together in harmony – pregnancy becomes a very strong possibility.
I can’t guarantee that you’ll get pregnant doing this work with me (run from anyone that does)
But I can tell you that doing this work completely changed my fertility journey – and the worlds of my clients and I wholeheartedly believe I wouldn’t have my babies if it wasn’t for finding this.
My work isn’t just about getting you pregnant.
It’s what my clients come to me for.
But what they also get (which one client said was the real “life-saver) is their sense of sanity, and self restored – the ability to navigate themselves through this difficult time.
Because when you’ve been in this prolonged state of fear for so long…
The anxiety of not-daring-to-hope, the obsessive thoughts, the bitter disappointments, the sadness, frustrations, resentments, the mixed feelings for your friends’ bumps, the physical changes and sacrifices you’re making, all of the unspoken terror of what it means if this never happens for you, the sense of shame and guilt that you’re letting your partner down…
That’s an enormous, unbearable burden which is not only getting in the way of welcoming a baby into your belly but it also fundamentally sucks away at your sense of self, at your identity, your worth, your joy and so there’s a piece of work that you owe it to yourself to do…to put YOU back together and get you feeling like yourself again
