On this page you will find all of our FERTILITY resources, including videos, relaxation audios, yoga poses, books, crystals and more!
We are passionate about fertility at Beinspired and about doing what we can through yoga, Reiki and Ayurveda to help women conceive. From experience, we know that each of these practices can help tremendously.
Emma has dedicated a lot of time to creating resources, raising awareness and supporting those experiencing fertility issues, including those navigating IVF.
Emma has written about her first-hand experience with trying to conceive and ultimately going through the IVF process in her book ‘Dancing with the Moon’ - available at Amazon and Waterstones.
Dancing with the Moon
After a year of trying (and failing) to conceive, my fears were confirmed: we were told we may never have children. Humbled by this sobering truth, I realised I would have to throw myself into the world of science, hook, line and sinker, if there was any chance of motherhood. I went from not taking any medicines to suddenly injecting myself with synthetic hormones, having the most invasive of examinations, and manipulating my hormonal system with drugs. Dancing with the Moon is my journey, my way of incorporating elements of the spiritual and the holistic into such a clinical process. Although different for each couple, IVF is an incredibly challenging and exhausting process, both physically, mentally and emotionally. I hope that in sharing how I navigated my way through the process, I can help other women feel more at ease and maintain a positive mindset on their own IVF journeys.
