We are a 501 3c Non-Profit. Our aim is to prevent and heal birth trauma through education. Women need to understand their options and rights in childbirth so that they can have a safe and healthy birth.

Today we talk to Elizabeth King, a Fertility Health Coach, ICF Life Coach, Birth & Bereavement Doula, and new parent educator. Through her practice, she helps clients through the trials of infertility and trauma of miscarriage and works with them through all possible avenues to help them conceive and bring a healthy baby to full term.

We discuss the process of preserving her own fertility that led to her wanting to specialize in fertility support. We talk about common myths about fertility that commonly lead to frustration in people who are trying to conceive. We also discuss the importance of managing stress and mindset as a part of the overall fertility treatment process. We define secondary infertility as an issue that some women face in trying to grow their family.

We talk about how working with a fertility coach before you even start trying to conceive can help to get your body on track to combatting any fertility issues before you even encounter them. We also talk about some of the things that may be affecting your fertility in the pre-conception phase. We clarify the difference between a fertility coach and a fertility doctor and how the former supports the client's relationship with the latter.

Finally, we talk about pregnancy loss and the journey of recovering from miscarriage while also trying to conceive again. We talk about a fertility coach's role in helping with miscarriage or infertility grief, and the sort of support that may be required. We also talk about male fertility and how important it is to look at and educate both partners when addressing fertility issues.

In spite of the relatively high number of hopeful parents who suffer fertility challenges, it is a subject that is not often widely spoken about. The amount of shame, insecurity, and grief that comes along with having fertility struggles or suffering a miscarriage often holds people back from talking about their experience, leading far too many people to believe that it is easy to conceive, and causing them to feel that same shame when they encounter their own fertility struggles. Having a fertility coach in addition to a fertility doctor can help to unravel that shame and make for greater ease in both navigating the fertility journey, and hopefully in wider discussion of fertility issues so that parents who are struggling can more easily find one another and establish a greater community of acceptance and support.

Sarah and Elizabeth discuss common myths about fertility that often lead struggling parents to believe they're doing something wrong or that they're broken. They also talk about different things that can cause fertility issues, and the ways that having a fertility coach can help with the aspects of overcoming fertility issues that their doctor isn't always equipped to cover.

Elizabeth is a Certified Fertility Health Coach, Master Certified ICF Life Coach, Birth & Bereavement Doula and New Parent Educator. Since 2008, her mission has been to help people of all backgrounds conceive a healthy baby and carry to term. She supports clients through natural fertility, infertility, IVF, miscarriage loss, early pregnancy PTSD, and new parent support. Her practice is based in Irvine, CA but serves clients worldwide remotely.
