7 Ways To Support A Friend On A Fertility Journey

4/22/2022

April 24th-30th, 2022 is Canadian Infertility Awareness Week. In Canada, 1 in 6 couples face infertility, and that number doesn't account for women who are on a solo mission to motherhood. If you have a friend who is on their fertility journey, it can be difficult to know exactly how to show up and support them. Especially if you're unfamiliar with fertility concerns, or pregnant yourself.
​
Here are seven sensitive ways you can be there for your friend, that acknowledge and respect their challenges and emotions.

Listen To Your friend: Avoid “Toxic Positivity” when responding to a friend going through a fertility journey, such as “everything happens for a reason” or “don’t worry, everything will work out”. You may be well-intentioned, but it might feel invalidating or dismissive.

Avoid Giving Unsolicited Advice: Those experiencing infertility are likely receiving professional support through the fertility process. If they want advice, they will ask you. Try to be there to listen, rather than give advice.

Practical Support: Provide support that is helpful in a practical way. For example, drop off meals, drive to appointments, pick up medications.

If you're on a fertility journey it's natural to feel like you're constantly riding a wave of deep emotions. Whether you're anxiously in the 2 week wait, feeling discouraged by a pregnancy test, or keeping your fingers crossed that you'll get pregnant, you're no stranger to feeling every emotion under the sun. But it's important to remember that underneath everything you are feeling and going though, you're a whole person, and you deserve to be cared for. Below are 10 ways you can check in with yourself along the path to fertility, so that you don't neglect the necessary practice of self-care. ​

Find Your Support Team: Determine who you can be vulnerable with to share the deepest aspects of this journey with.

Your Social Circle: Find the people that you can feel the most vulnerable and safe to share all aspects of your journey with.
​
Individual Therapy: Seeking out a therapist who understands infertility and can support you on an individual basis would provide a safe space to share without judgment.

4 Ways A Paediatric Chiropractor Can Help Your Baby

4/14/2022

When you think about Chiropractic care, you're likely not thinking about booking an appointment for your baby. But you'd be surprised to learn how much this treatment can benefit your infant, starting as early as the newborn stage. From relieving tension to improving sleep, here are four ways Paediatric Chiropractic care can benefit your baby:


Paediatric Chiropractic Care Can Help Ease Colic
Chiropractic care is extremely efficient in treating symptoms of colic, and reflux in infants. A 3-month long scientific study conducted in 2012 established that chiropractic care may help treat colic. In the study, fully 94 percent of the subjects experienced improved colic symptoms. With proper adjustment, a Yoga Mamas Paediatric chiropractor is able to relieve the pressure your little one is experiencing bringing colic relief for your baby.

Paediatric Chiropractic Care Can Help With Baby Sleep
Many times pain or discomfort in the spine can cause babies to be so uncomfortable that sleep becomes interrupted. Infant chiropractic care may help to ease discomfort and help settle babies sleep patterns allowing baby to sleep better.

How Does Fertility Acupuncture Work?

4/14/2022

 
Picture
Getting pregnant is not the same for everyone. For some people it happens completely by surprise. For others it happens on the very first try. And for some people the journey to conception can be a longer one.

Traditional Chinese Medicine {TCM} views fertility concerns as symptoms of an underlying imbalance within the body. Our bodies have many interconnected faculties that work together to keep us healthy and whole, and it can get challenging trying to keep them all in perfect harmony. The ultimate goal of TCM concerning fertility is to rebalance the body so it is able to conceive on its own.
Acupuncture, together with TCM has been used to enhance fertility for thousands of years, and is a service used by hundreds of people who visit our clinic.
But how does Fertility Acupuncture work? What is it about acupuncture that increases our chances of getting pregnant?
