EF#11: Against the Odds - Mind-Body Awareness for Fertility with Dr Natalie Masson

Today's episode will inspire you yet again! I chat to Natalie Masson, a woman like you and I who struggled to get pregnant, and against the odds of being 45, with low AMH and high FSH and much more, managed to get pregnant naturally and now has a beautiful family she has always wished for. Natalie doesn't have Endometriosis, but she does have an awful lot to share from her experience and is why she then went on to focus on helping women with their fertility struggles.

Dr Natalie Masson, PhD is a Psychotherapist & Fertility Coach, and founder of Fertility from the Soul, which is a resource for women who are longing for a child, struggling to conceive, and are interested in exploring natural ways to boost fertility. Natalie draws from the experience of many philosophies and healing modalities from both the East and the West to provide coaching, meditations, affirmations, guidance, and resources for improving fertility naturally from a holistic mind-body perspective. Natalie is based in the USA but works with women all over the world.
