Intimacy through Infertility - Maintaining Intimacy and Connection Whilst Trying to Conceive – with Isiah McKimmie

In this episode we discuss a topic which is so important to creating a healthy pregnancy, a healthy family and healthy relationships, but it can be seen as a bit ‘taboo’.

We know we need to have sex to make a baby and even if you are trying through IVF or assisted reproduction, intimacy and connection is still so important within a healthy relationship, but unfortunately, it can so easily be lost when baby making becomes a mission.

Joining me to help unpack this topic and provide you with some strategies to help you maintain that intimacy and that connection, is the lovely Isiah McKimmie.

Isiah McKimmie is a Couples Therapist, Sex Therapist, Sexologist and Coach and is one of the most qualified Sex and Relationship Experts in Australia.

Isiah holds a Masters degree in Relational Psychotherapy, a Masters degree in Science in Medicine (Sexual Counselling/Psychosexual Therapy), a Post-Graduate Diploma of Sexology and a Certificate from the prestigious Institute for the Advanced Studies of Human Sexuality.
