Center on May 16, 2011 show that women who participate in a mind/body program for stress reduction while undergoing IVF treat- ment have a significantly higher pregnancy rate than those who do not (52% versus 20 %). Dr. Ernest L. Rossi specializes in psychobiology, the relation- ship between the mind and physical body states. He has conducted extensive research to suggest that human genes must be in a state of physical readiness for conception to take place. His findings suggest that hypnotic-type suggestions can activate specific genes involved with fertility and conception.
HypnoFertility HypnoFertility is designed to help reduce the stress, anxiety
and frustration of infertility, allowing you to feel calm and in con- trol. Studies indicate “infertile” women using hypnosis have up to 55% improvement in conception success rate. In another study, Peter Quinn, a pioneer in the field, used hyp-
notherapy with a group of women between the ages of 26 and 42 who had durations of infertility lasting from 2-12 years. 65% of the women went on to have a successful full-term pregnancy. The posi- tive results from these studies suggest that the sub-conscious mind may be an overlooked factor in the treatment of fertility. In her research, Dr Elizabeth Muir, a clinical psychologist based in London, conducted a ground breaking study where she focused on the mind-body connection using mostly hypnotherapy and psychotherapy with women who had unexplained infertility. The results of her research showed that, after completing Dr. Muirs’ programme, 45% of women with unexplained infertility were able to conceive and carry the pregnancy full term. Dr Muir speaking on the issue of infertility said “ Hypnotherapy is particularly successful in the area of fertility. It enables us to access subconscious issues, which might be related to fertility. Very often an individual is not aware of those issues. With the skilled use of hypnotherapy a sub- ject is helped to elicit her own individual ability to resolve her spe- cific issues of fertility. Dr. Muirs’ research has become worldwide. Since her landmark study, hypnotherapy has become an important tool used to identify and process roadblocks and fears that may be preventing fertility. “Most women I see have psychosomatic infertil- ity related to conflicts or unresolved issues about having a baby.”
While researchers/practitioners have been amassing the previously-mentioned support for hypnosis and hypnotherapy help- ing women with fertility issues, something different and dramatic has been happening in the Denver, Colorado area. Lynsi Eastburn, registered psychotherapist and Board Certified Hypnotherapyist by the National Guild of Hypnotists, is the creator of HypnoFertility®, a program based on clinical experience gleaned from tens of thou- sands of clinical hours in her Colorado private practice and training school. She has helped couples conceive over 1000 babies and has traveled around the world to train over 600 hypnotists in her methods. Lynsi has also written two books: It’s Conceivable! and The 3 Keys to Conception. For more information, visit her at www.
