In today’s episode Amy shares her experience navigating fertility challenges related to her PCOS diagnosis within the Mormon community. In a culture with such a strong focus on building large families, Amy shares important insights about how it impacted her fertility journey.

Amy Sedgwick is a Licensed Massage Therapist, certified restorative yoga teacher and is currently enrolled in Lisa’s Fertility Awareness Mastery Mentorship program. She is a 9th generation Mormon and a woman on her own 20 year fertility journey which lends her has a unique perspective on how to navigate infertility in a family centric culture where women are mainly valued by their ability to procreate. She shares this unique perspective as the co-host of The Mormon Fertility Podcast. Amy hopes to use this experience as she steps into the role of teacher and guide in helping women access their own innate body wisdom through cycle charting, nurturing body work, yoga and in creating spaces (both physically and virtually) where women can feel safe to share, connect, heal and ultimately access universal wisdom that is within each of us.
