Are You Working With Women and Men Who Are:

Having Difficulty Conceiving?
Experiencing Secondary Infertility?
Having Difficulty Holding a Pregnancy to Term?
Wish to Increase the Effectiveness of Natural and/or Medical Fertility Processes?
Preparing for Natural Delivery

This training program challenges the traditionally held view that problems with fertility are purely a medical condition to be treated with drugs and surgery. Niravi Payne explains how our minds and bodies can be so affected by generations of family’s beliefs and patterns of behavior that our natural fertility and ability to conceive can be blocked. Her unique techniques of self-analysis help women and men become conscious about what needs changing in their lives to reclaim their fertility, conceive and give birth to a baby.

"Niravi has courageously led the way to the creation of a whole new language and approach to fertility. This language examines how and why unexpressed emotions and unfinished business from childhood affect fertility...Very often when individuals and couples really engage in the transformational work Niravi presents here, a child indeed is conceived."

Fertility Clinics Begin To Address Mental Health!
In the past decade, fertility experts have made advances in reproductive technology. But increasingly these experts are finding that we must pay attention to the most fundamental and low tech of issues, the emotional health of their infertility patients...
Health & Fitness...The N.Y. Times 10/01/2002

Introduction:

A new vision in women's health care today is emerging, challenging the age-old separation of mind and body in the healing process. This unnatural split undergirds the reproductive crisis of today. As health care professionals we recognize how profoundly our emotional and physical health is affected by the complex interplay of psychosocial, psychological and physiological factors. A woman's family history, in utero, and childhood experiences affect the health and well-being of the fetus and the quality of the birthing process.

The latest mind/body research is validating how our endocrine, immune, and nervous systems are all intimately connected and influenced by every thought we think and every emotion we feel.

Discovering how our body's emotional chemistry responds to negative emotional states, throwing off the delicately balanced hormonal system involved in reproduction, opens new pathways to conception as well as living at a higher level of health and emotional well-being.

The significant impact of the "Trail Blazing Boomers" on the emotional, reproductive health and well-being of women must also be taken into consideration. This creates the need for new therapeudic approaches to meet the psychophysiological consequences of their decision to delay childbearing 10 - 15 years for this generation and many generations to come.

"In the process of resolving painful childhood experiences and family conflicts, it is possible to create a healthy new inner life, a new life together as a couple, and a new life in the form of a baby. This awesome revelation has led me to become totally committed to empowering women and men to take charge of their reproductive life, their health, and their well-being."
Niravi B. Payne

Purpose of the Course:

Participants in this innovative and challenging course will experience a markedly different approach to the complex factors that govern one's fertility as well as a wide range of emotional and physical symptoms. This course broadens the individual model as the foci of attention to exploring the interrelationship of multigenerational emotional processes, attitudes, and belief systems that affect the reproductive process.

This course goes beyond symptom treatment offering powerful skills and techniques to assist practitioners in indentifying and working through multigenerational patterns and beliefs that affect not only one's ability to conceive but one's general health and well-being.
