Case 1 – Breaking the Cycle of Despair
Eleanor, 32, came to see Gabriella as a last resort before undergoing IVF treatment. Together they looked at her emotions around not having been able to conceive easily, and we dissolved her sense of failure as a woman. We also developed a strategy for how not to fall into the cycle of despair – hope – despair…

Through counselling in conjunction with hypnotherapy, Eleanor became more and more able to relax in her daily life and to let go into the process of creating a family. This holistic approach to fertility made it possible for her to conceive after 4 months of working with me: She had learned to transform emotional and mental patterns and to choose positive thoughts and images conducive to conception.

Case 2 – Stress Management
Susan, 35, came only for 3 hypnotherapy sessions with Gabriella to decrease her mental and physical stress. She was convinced that her stress levels prevented her from conceiving. And she was right. With the help of hypnotherapy tapes Gabriella had recorded for her in their sessions, she learned to relax deeply for 20 minutes every day. In this way she managed to regain her physical and emotional balance and conceived easily after a short time.

Case 3 – Dispelling Fear and Negative Beliefs
Joanna, 41, approached Gabriella after having tried many other therapies to help her conceive. She had come to realise that her fertility issue had become an opportunity for her to look at aspects of her life which she had previously neglected.

Together they explored attitudes taken on from her parents about motherhood, which for them had been an overwhelming experience. After having discovered and transformed her own fearful beliefs about motherhood, she was able to release the physical tension in her abdomen related to her negative thinking. Gabriella and her then created positive images about becoming a mother and linked them with physical sensations of relaxation and well-being.

Through her journey towards becoming a mother, Joanna gained a deeper sense of harmony and inner peace. This contributed to her falling pregnant after 6 months of counselling and hypnotherapy with Gabriella.
