Mind/Body Support for IVF at CARE Birmingham
These few preparatory sessions are quick and easy to do in advance of your treatment and can be arranged individually or as a package. It’s entirely up to you.
There are 3 main things we can offer to help:
Zita West Nutrition & Diet Planning for IVF
Zita West Positive Mind Prep for IVF
Zita West Acupuncture Support for IVF
Most couples will only need a single Nutrition & Diet session to set themselves up for their cycle and, for the female partner, a single Mind Prep session. Though you can, of course, choose to have more. Both these sessions are live video consultations, so they can be conducted face-to-face from the convenience of your own home. They’re also available by ‘phone if you’d prefer (but we find live video works better). Don’t worry if you haven’t used a video link before. It’s really simple to set up and use and we’ll tell you exactly what to do!
Lots of our patients use acupuncture too to prepare themselves for their treatment. We can arrange a package of preparatory sessions for you with a Zita West affiliated acupuncturist based close to where you live. Or you can simply use them for a couple of sessions pre and post your embryo transfer (see below).
The Zita West Nutrition & Diet Plan for Successful IVF
We’re great believers in the importance of having the right nutrition to get eggs and sperm into the best possible shape for IVF. And research carried out in recent years supports this.
During your 60 minute consultation (90 minutes if you’d like our Couples option, which we’d really recommend), a Zita West therapist will check your nutritional status and tailor an individual dietary plan for you. Your therapist will highlight the things you need to focus on through diet and supplements to produce a positive impact on your eggs and/or sperm. You will be given guidance on what to eat and what not to eat plus suggestions for meals and recipes, taking account of general factors such as age, weight and fitness as well as specific factors if relevant such as ovarian reserve, sperm health, possible immune issues or recurrent miscarriage or implantation failure. The recommendations are designed to be easy to follow and the food enjoyable to eat. It’s not a nutritional boot-camp!
You’ll receive a comprehensive questionnaire to complete and return prior to the consultation and general information sheets and guides afterwards.
Sessions last 60 minutes (90 minutes for couples) and cost £99.50 for individuals and £149 for couples and can be booked directly with the Zita West team on 020.7224.0017. ***Next date available 26th June***
The Zita West Positive Mind Prep for Successful IVF
Stress is widely accepted as having a negative impact on your chances of getting pregnant. Anything you can do to reduce it and to build a positive and optimistic mindset is likely to help. Generally, people want to feel in control of the IVF process but can often feel the opposite. Our unique mind-management coaching for the female partner provides an easy to use but powerful tool-kit to be able to direct your thoughts and emotions positively on a daily basis. Positive mind-management is used by top business people and elite athletes to enhance their performance and we believe it can make a real difference to the chances of getting pregnant too.
Sessions last 60 minutes and cost £99.50 and can be booked directly with the Zita West team on 020.7224.0017. ***Next date available 26th June***
