Fertility Hypnotherapy
For Natural & Assisted Conception including IVF
I help couples manage unexplained infertility, the IVF process, aswell as the trauma of miscarriage, IVF failure and bereavement.
Fertility Hypnosis works with you to find the areas you most need support in. This may include help to:
- Reduce your stress and anxiety. Hypnosis is a natural way to increase feelings of calm and relaxation. It helps to lower stress enabling the key fertility hormones to be more in balance.
- Restore your confidence and self esteem, this can often take a knock during the process.
- Restore your mental and emotional balance. Work through any emotions such as anger, jealousy, guilt, stress, anxiety and depression.
- Resolve issues which may be preventing conception. This could be fear, anxiety about pregnancy or a personal issue.
- Improve any relationship issues.
- Support you to make decisions about fertility treatments and other options for parenthood.
- Reduce the emotional effects of any fertility medication.
- Help with any medical phobias which can hinder the process.
- If necessary come to terms with infertility.

Why Jo Simons, Fertility Hypnotherapist
Although everyone’s fertility issue is unique, but you may benefit from seeing someone who can relate to your journey. I suffered with unexplained infertility and the emotions and stress this can bring.
After undertaking treatments including IVF and IUI, I am now a mother, so can empathise with your feelings of anxiety without the emotion getting in the way.
This is an area of specialism for me and I have undertaken additional specialist Fertility Hypnosis training and am a Baby Quest Practitioner. These powerful mind-body techniques can support your emotional well-being and give you the best possible chance of conceiving.
The Mind and Body Connection
Feel calm, less stressed, and in control of your fertility journey.
Your mind and body are one system. The role of the mind and negative emotions is a vital one often overlooked in traditional fertility treatments. The mind is capable of hindering us in our pursuits, but could also help you towards your goal. The body acts out and stores all the emotions and thoughts of the mind. Every memory, feeling and fear is stored in our body which can lead to increased anxiety perhaps getting in the way of your goal.
Together we will create a bespoke, individual therapy plan. This will use an extensive range of Cognitive Hypnotherapy cutting edge techniques, including hypnosis, nlp and positive psychology, so you start to notice a difference in the way you think and feel.
I will give you Fertility Hypnosis mp3s to listen to at home to support each stage of your fertility journey. These will help you to reach a relaxed and optimistic mind-set, out of our sessions, during what can be one of the most stressful periods of your life.
"I have carried some personal beliefs and negative feelings with me which I felt might have a negative effect on my IVF treatment. Jo helped me to change my beliefs, and to feel more positive about my IVF journey and the future."
Fertility Hypnotherapy for IVF
Fertility Hypnosis combined with nlp techniques offer valuable tools for helping you to manage the stress of an IVF cycle.
When you go through an IVF cycle, it is important to keep a positive psychological and emotional state. Fertility Hypnosis will enable you to gain strategies to prepare you for the physical process of IVF. Should you have any medical phobias or issues such as needle phobias, these could also be addressed during our sessions.
