Infertility can be an incredibly emotional journey, filled with ups and downs, unanswered questions, and moments of hope. Over the past decade, I’ve had the privilege of working with couples navigating infertility through the focused, supportive approach of fertility massage.
While no single therapy can guarantee results, about half of the couples I’ve worked with have gone on to experience a successful pregnancy within a year of incorporating massage into their fertility journey. Fertility massage focuses on improving circulation, reducing stress, and creating optimal conditions for reproductive health, offering couples a complementary tool as they pursue parenthood.
Understanding What to Expect:
It’s important to approach fertility massage with realistic expectations. While this therapy can be a powerful tool to support your fertility journey, it’s not a guaranteed solution. My goal is to provide a safe, calming environment and provide sessions intended to support your reproductive health.
In addition, fertility massage can be very helpful as a complementary component of a larger fertility plan including those venturing into assisted reproductive technologies such as IUI or IVF too.
Recent events have led me to a place where I’d like to initiate the conversations/opportunities below...
Fertility Massage Case Series…
I’m conducting a five-month fertility massage case series to refine an intentional protocol for this therapy.
The series includes:
2 sessions monthly for a duration of 5 months – 1 (one) 60-minute and 1 (one) 30-minute session.
A basic educational session at intake, teaching couples an abdominal self-massage protocol, along with (if needed) how to track ovulation signs, cervical fluid, basal body temperature, and general stress management tools.
12 additional months of follow-up (so participants would commit to up to 17 months of contact with me from beginning to end), this extended contact is to track reproductive and other outcomes.
This series is designed for couples who have been actively trying to conceive for 2+ years. While the focus is on couples with unexplained infertility, those with some fertility-related diagnoses as well as secondary infertility (those with a biological child, now struggling with 2+ years TTC a subsequent child) could also qualify. The massage sessions would mainly focus on the biological female partner, as my experience has primarily been with female reproductive health. However, I am open to consulting with couples to discuss potential sessions and protocols for male partners as well.
Massage sessions for female participants would generally be scheduled during the follicular phase (between menstruation and ovulation). Male sessions (if included) would focus on supporting overall health, general abdominopelvic circulation, and stress reduction. During all sessions we would use noninvasive techniques designed to support reproductive health and overall well-being. These techniques would normally include specific abdominal and pelvic work (between the pubic symphysis and rib cage), as well as the use of reflexive points to encourage whole-body balance and function. Each session would be tailored to create a supportive experience for the individual while still complying with the intended protocol.
The cost for the full series is $400. This is a significant discount from my standard session rates and would be used to supplement my time away from other tasks. If conception occurs during the first five months, remaining sessions could be used for prenatal, postpartum, or otherwise transferred in a monetary equivalent as certificates to share with your household (either scheduled with me or in our general student clinic).
