Ep143: A Holistic Approach with Fertilit...

Dr. Nicole C. Rankins
About this episode

A lot of my listeners are already expecting, but I know that some of you are either thinking about getting pregnant or already trying. And just like a holistic approach is important to pregnancy and birth, a holistic approach to fertility that considers emotional and physical health is important. But there’s a lot of information out there in regards to fertility, and it can be overwhelming to wade through it all. A fertility coach may be able to help. 

And that’s exactly what today’s guest, Elizabeth King, does. She’s a fertility coach who’s on a mission to help people of all backgrounds conceive a healthy baby and carry to term in a joyful state of mind. After her own experiences with conception and birth, she was inspired to help others who dream of parenthood. She has now helped hundreds of people become parents in 20+ countries around the world!

In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:

-How losing a pregnancy inspired Elizabeth to focus on supporting those experiencing fertility struggles

-What fertility coaching entails

-Who is a good candidate for fertility coaching

-Why it is important not to compare your journey to anyone else’s

-How important it is to connect with and listen to your body

-What are some things people can do to prepare their body and mind for pregnancy

-How helpful it can be to find a curated community - not all information is good information

-What are some common fertility myths
