I am joined by the lovely Kristina Parker from Harwood Fertility today, to discuss the benefits and techniques of fertility massage.

Kristina is an acupuncturist and fertility massage practitioner and we discuss how fertility massage can aid in various conditions such as endometriosis and PCOS and can support both natural and assisted conception.

We discuss:

• how and why a fertility massage focuses on the abdomen and pelvic area.

• how it can support pain relief and improve circulation.

• the different types of fertility massage exist, including Mayan and Chinese techniques.

• how fertility massage is beneficial for conditions like endometriosis and PCOS.

• why the timing of massage is crucial, ideally in the follicular phase.

• how those preparing for IVF can benefit from fertility massage.

• how to find a practitioner

Here are links to find a practitioner:
