Soul Fertility Opens Natural Fertility Clinic On North Shore

PRESS RELEASE – 10th January 2011

New Service For Couples Trying To Conceive - Soul Fertility Opens Natural Fertility Clinic On The North Shore

Soul Fertility has just launched its new service in the East Coast Bays offering Natural Fertility Consultations for people who are trying to naturally achieve or avoid a pregnancy.

Jo Hayes, Soul Fertility’s owner knows what it’s like to struggle with sub-fertility having experienced it herself. An ectopic pregnancy resulting in the removal of one of her fallopian tubes, ovarian cysts and endometriosis were all on her own personal medical history. “I thought that my journey to motherhood would be a long and complicated one, possibly requiring medical intervention, but then I found out about Natural Family Planning from my acupuncturist and I felt empowered. I learnt how to track my cycles and work out my most fertile time and 8 months later I was pregnant!”

As many as one in five New Zealand couples experience problems or delays in becoming pregnant and Jo believes that with a little bit of education and knowledge many more people like herself can be helped to achieve a pregnancy sooner. “I realised as soon as I fell pregnant using this method, that I wanted to help other people in a similar situation to me, so I searched the internet and discovered Natural Fertility New Zealand who run courses to teach people to become Natural Fertility Educators, so I enrolled. I was 5 months pregnant at the time and a walking testimony of how great the method worked!” Studying whilst pregnant and then with a young baby was not easy, but Jo was determined to see it through and is now a qualified & accredited Natural Fertility Educator with Natural Fertility New Zealand. And her business Soul Fertility was born!

Jo teaches a method which combines features of scientifically based, traditional, natural family planning. "It involves observing and understanding your body and its changes and knowing when you are fertile or not by charting cervical mucus, basal body temperature and changes in the cervix. Any woman, whether their menstrual cycle is regular or not can use this method. We are all different, it is just a case of learning a little more about ourselves!”

This method can also be used to prevent a pregnancy. "It's at least 98 per cent effective, which is the same as the mini-pill, and of course totally natural, no drugs or chemicals." says Jo. "Clients are usually seen for three sessions and the guidelines are taught. Once they're used to charting, they can use the charts very accurately and know exactly when their fertile time is. And then, they have a choice whether to abstain or use a barrier method."

There are now six natural fertility educators covering most areas in Auckland. Please see the Natural Fertility New Zealand website on www.naturalfertility.co.nz for more details. Soul Fertility is based in Torbay but Jo also offers home visits all around the North Shore area.
