Certified Fertility Counselor Course Offered By Joyful Living Services

Certified Fertility Counselor Online Course

The term "fertility" refers to a person's ability to produce offspring. Getting to know your body

and the signs associated with your most fertile days is an important aspect of your sexual

health. If you want to become pregnant it will help you to achieve those results more quickly. If

you want to avoid having children, understanding your fertility will enable you to avoid having

unprotected intercourse during your peak fertile times. . Seeking the help of a fertility specialist

is recommended when a couple has been unable to conceive within a year. If you are over the

age of 35, time is of greater importance as successful conception becomes more and more

unlikely as we age. Infertility affects at least 1 in 5 couples. That's a whopping 25% of the

world's population that suffer from infertility in some fashion! Luckily, the majority of couples who suffer from fertility will find help - usually through finding the right fertility clinic and or doctor where infertility therapy can begin. Some couples will adopt, some will decide upon surrogacy and many will eventually time conception just right and manage it without outside help.


This course is designed to teach you about fertility and infertility as well as the alternative options available for yourself and others.

More than Sex and Fertility Treatments - A Note from the Instructor

Picture
More and more you are hearing couples coming out with infertility or having trouble conceiving. Because infertility is on the rise it's important to know about your own personal fertility. In late 2012 Australia conducted a survey of 200 women undergoing infertility treatments. Only 26 of them knew their own fertility window and preserving their fertility. 

I think there is a rising alarm for infertility because of our eating habits and what's in our food.  But I also think that there is a need for women and couples to know how fertility works and when they don't that's when they run into trouble conceiving.   Many believe that having sex for a year will work, or six months, even though it takes more than just sex. A pH balance that is too acidic or alkaline can easily immobilize sperm just because of a change in diet, or missing the ovulation window completely 

It's so much more than just sex.  It's knowledge and it's taking control over your own fertility.

Fertility Testimonial

Picture
Last year I had the most amazing experience working with a client who was struggling with fertility.  My client had just turned 39 years old and had been trying to conceive for 5 years. I had met her while she was under going her second IVF procedure with a local fertility clinic. She hired me for weekly reflexology sessions as she heard that reflexology could boost fertility and increase chances of successful IVF . Unfortunately the IVF procedure was not successful.
 
She of course was very disappointed and believed that there was simply nothing else to be done. I told her about holistic healing and nutrition therapies and offered to help her if she wanted to explore holistic options. I didn't hear from her until about 4 months later when she called and said "I'm ready, I will do whatever it takes."

I worked with her to put together a nutrition program which included liver cleansing, dietary changes, herbs and nutritional support. After 4 months on my program, she conceived. Unfortunately she lost the pregnancy during her 1st trimester.

We both agreed that if she could  get pregnant once that it was highly likely she could again and so after a 3 month rest, we began working together again.  This time we put her on an immune system diet which cut out allergens from her diet to strengthen her immune system and continued with the nutrition and herbal program.

By Christmas she was pregnant again. This time she carried to term and gave birth to a beautiful baby boy at age 40.  While I have seen many amazing healings, transformations and improvements working with holistic therapies the past 10 years, even I was amazed at the healing power of nature!
