Fertility
Testimonials

“I first met Edwina at a one day Fertility retreat that my mum signed me up for on the recommendation from her friend. I was 3 years numerous miscarriages into our fertility journey and about to start the IVF process. At first I thought my mum had signed me up to kumbaya camp and wasn’t really sure it was for me but my mum had gifted me the retreat and asked me to trust her and go with an open mind

So off I went that day with an openish mind and I’m really glad I did. At the retreat I let go of a lot of grief, anger and a lot of other emotions that had built up over the 3 years, I had seen councillors and a psych in that time but no one got me to let go like I did that day. Even in the group setting it was comforting to meet other women in the same situation and at different stages of trying to get pregnant. Also worth a mention is the food – if you do an Edwina retreat the food is delicious

I walked away that day feeling a lot more like my normal self from before trying to fall pregnant- my husband, family and friends all noticed my outlook was a little brighter

After the retreat I contacted Edwina to see if she would see me as a client and amazingly she was able to add me to her list and so started our monthly sessions of what I like to call massage with a side of therapy. It’s hard to hide the truth from Edwina and she knew how to get me to open up even if I was not making it easy or not being completely truthful about my feelings. We talked all things in those sessions – IVF, Family, relationship with my Husband, grief over lost babies and even relationships with friends. All the things that as Edwina would say I hold in my gut.

On top of the one on one sessions I also signed up to the fertility program where I met more wonderful ladies – not only in my group but also in other groups as Edwina organises catch ups for the groups to meet each other. Again I learnt the importance of massage, being kind on myself, the different seasons we go through and how past relationships and grief are important to recognise and also sometimes let go of. The phrase I am good enough is one I will always remember and also I don’t have to be like my mum I can be like me and take on the bits I want and leave the rest, it’s also ok to sometimes not keep a tidy house and just self love by having a tv day.

Edwina introduced me to Yin yoga and hopefully I will be able to attend her classes again soon as they are relaxing- sometimes it’s even ok to sleep!

I’m just sad our last 1-1 session was over FaceTime because after 5 years of trying I finally had a baby bump and Edwina missed out taking the photo we had been working so hard towards. I’m pleased to say my 3rd and final round of IVF was a success (thanks to Edwina I was willing to embrace pregnancy or call it a day and know I’d done everything possible and I would be ok whatever happened as I have Edwina in my corner to talk it through!) this pregnancy was definitely filled with anxiety that anything could go wrong but those monthly sessions sure did help with a hug at the door and ready to talk through what was coming up for me.

Thanks Edwina and once we can do 1-1 again I am excited for the hug at the door and to talk through what motherhood is bringing up – currently lack of sleep but I’m grateful.

I have included my going to hospital photo – as a travel agent I love packing and going places but I have never been as excited as I was grabbing my bag to go meet our little man Oscar”

“Seeing Edwina was absolutely invaluable in my fertility journey, which wasn’t the easiest having PCOS. She is so good at what she does and is so in-tune. She was even so supportive after my daughter was born when I was extremely hormonal and overwhelmed. Edwina is very authentic and really cares for her clients which is what makes her so great at what she does. Edwina always made it very clear that her clinic is a space of no judgement and she really makes you feel comfortable… I cannot recommend her enough!”.

“My first fertility appointment with Edwina was back in November 2016. My partner and I had been trying unsuccessfully for a while (I have PCOS and Endometriosis) and we were about to embark on IVF. Edwina supported me throughout the IVF process and I fell pregnant on my second embryo transfer in the April of 2017!

“I met Edwina about 3 years ago after hearing about her on the radio … by this stage my partner and I had been trying for over 12 months to conceive and I’d had 1 miscarriage by this stage knowing that it wasn’t going to be easy to conceive for me with having PCOS and with the big 40 looming we were prepared to try anything! so I made the call and oh my Goodness I’m so glad that I did , because on the other end of the phone was the most beautiful person/ soul ever placed on this earth full of love and light for just want to help and support couples through the most beautiful, living , frustrating, emotional Journey you will ever be on … my baby Fairy , Edwina made me feel “ normal “ cause let’s face it as woman we take full responsibility for all this fertility stuff after all it’s supposed to be our natural ability…

Edwina taught me to love my body , respect it in all its glory and power she was there to laugh with, cry with and scream with as we fumbled through this journey.

My Baby fairy where would we be without you thank you for our Son for whispering to my body and calling for him and for blessing my body and soul with our second little miracle too.”

“A friend recommended me to see Edwina after having to have a termination at 23 weeks with my first pregnancy and miscarriage at 9 weeks with my second. I didn’t really know what to except and was a little nervous but after meeting Edwina I instantly felt comfortable and in safe hands. She massaged my back and stomach, wrapped me up and did some visualisation with me. I can’t describe how amazing all this was physically and emotionally. She seemed to know all about me and be able to feel all the pain and worry I had hidden inside me. The connection I felt she had with me needs to be experienced to believe. I don’t ever cry…. and I cried nearly the whole time I was there. I was exhausted when I left but the next day I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I thought I was going to get a massage that may help with things but I got so much more. The emotional healing was what I really needed and am so grateful for. I fell pregnant again a month after seeing Edwina and am now 29 weeks. Everything is going perfectly this time. It is a little boy just like Edwina had predicted. I have given Edwina’s number out to lots of my friends who all have their own stories and issues. Every single one of them has come back thanking me for recommendation. I hope to get another appointment with Edwina before I deliver as I really do think it will help me physically and mentally for the birth. Thank you Edwina for everything. You are truly amazing.”

“Living struggled with unexplained infertility for a few years and going through unsuccessful ivf I reached out to Edwina and attended one of her fertility full day workshops. This was an amazing experience she gave me the tools to help work on myself and try to open up my body to the possibilities. I immediately knew I wanted to see Edwina on a one on one basis and started seeing her shortly after. I had regular monthly appointments with Edwina, they were not only about fertility massage but more of a fertility appointment where there is also a focus on education, health and overall spiritual guidance. Edwina is a huge support both physically and emotionally she listens unconditionally and provides a wealth of knowledge. Shortly after seeing Edwina I fell pregnant, I continued to see Edwina throughout my entire pregnancy as the appointment were no longer just about fertility but about having the emotional support I needed. After giving birth to my beautiful son Harrison I returned to appointments with Edwina and while initially the focus wasn’t about fertility but about healing and guidance she very casually said to me at the end of one appointment I see you pregnant within the next few months. Low and behold Edwina was right and I’m now happily pregnant with my second baby.

Edwina’s kind, supportive nurturing nature is like no other. She is genuine, and honest she promotes healing and education and I don’t know where I would be without her“.

“After going through a miscarriage early last year, I learned about fertility massage, and began to search for someone to assist in healing my body and preparing it for another try. I found Edwina online and after reading some other people’s comments on the other added benefits received from fertility massage regarding emotions, anxiety etc. I got in contact with Edwina for an appointment. Edwina has become my unofficially therapy session, and has managed to, through massage, meditation and discussion, released a lot of my anxiety and emotional baggage and I feel my mind became a lot clearer after seeing her. As an added bonus, I now find myself 6 months pregnant with a healthy bub (3 months after my first visit with Edwina and 6 months after miscarriage). Edwina is so warm, welcoming and understanding and would recommend her highly to anyone, to assist with overall mental well being, relaxation and clarity, as well as massage for fertility specifically.”

“Edwina has such a kind loving and beautiful soul! I began seeing Edwina for fertility treatment and after a few months of seeing Edwina and following her advice I found out I was pregnant, after almost 18 months of trying for another baby. I didn’t realise how much Edwina has also helped me with my anxiety disorder, seeing her and having healing massages has helped me to see past issues that can often blur my vision of a happy future. I look forward to my next session with Edwina and I highly recommend her to anyone having trouble with fertility or if you just need help with issues in your life! Thank you Edwina.”

“After unsuccessfully trying to conceive a baby for a number of years, I was looking for a practitioner to assist me in conceiving naturally. With Edwina, I received so much more than I ever expected.

When I first reached out to Edwina, I was drained, dispirited and in a very dark place. Through our one on one sessions, fertility massage, meditation and yoga classes I found my voice, I found my self–worth and I found my light and happiness.

Through Edwina’s guidance and teachings, I have cut away the cords of my most inner demons. Edwina provided a safe space for me to talk about my traumas, some of which I had never told another soul. During my treatments I felt nothing but cared for, supported and heard.

I am now expecting my little girl on October and I know in my heart the role Edwina’s healing and guidance assisted me to get here. I cannot thank Edwina enough for helping me to become the women and soon to be mother I am today.”

“I first went to Edwina about 6 months ago. I was getting fertility treatments which can wreak havoc on the body so thought there was no harm in trying whatever I could to look after my body and also help the process along. Not really knowing what to expect other than it was a fertility massage I arrived a little nervous. I soon felt comfortable and found Edwina to be a gorgeous, warm hearted person and I always leave feeling relaxed and ready to continue on my path. I haven’t been to see Edwina in a few months- and for good reason- I am now just over 3 months pregnant with a little boy!!! .. Edwina was one of the first people to tell as I really appreciated her help and support throughout the process. I have already referred many friends to Edwina, not only those trying to conceive- and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her to many more! Looking forward to seeing Edwina in a couple of weeks for a pregnancy massage. Thank you for all your help and support Edwina.”

“Yesterday after 14 months of fertility massages I finally got to go and see my special friend for a *pregnancy massage* Woo hoo even writing this is still doesn’t seem real that its finally happened, but i can tell you all now if it wasn’t for this beautiful lady I’m 100% sure we would still be awaiting that positive test!! Edwina Taylor if it wasn’t for your magic hands and all your knowledge we would be still having monthly negatives. Roll on the next few months so we can meet this wee baby!!!”

“Having been on a mentally and physically exhausting journey to get pregnant for nearing five years and trying a mixture of natural therapies and IVF, I was keen to try something new that would assist my dream in becoming a Mum. After reading some positive reports on fertility massage, I approached Edwina to see if she would be willing to give this alternative therapy a go. Fertility massage sounded like a perfect non-invasive treatment that would help improve my chances of conceiving and complement any future IVF cycles. Edwina immediately took on the challenge. Her approach was methodical and sympathetic to my circumstances, as well as being relaxing and I had complete peace of mind that I was helping my journey towards fertility, whatever the outcome. I only needed a few sessions and then my problem was trying to make up excuses to Edwina as to why I couldn’t come back for more sessions, as I was actually pregnant – what a great problem to have! I am now a proud Mum to a happy and healthy boy called Fergus. Booking in with Edwina will definitely be first on my list when we start trying for number two! “
