Fertility and Women's Health
Reproductive health optimization and
support in family planning or infertility processes.
Fertility Therapy
- Knowledge of the body and fertility, through tools such as menstrual cycle monitoring, identification of fertility signs, and learning the symptothermal method.
- Improved reproductive health and quality of life with more regular and healthy menstrual cycles, taking individual circumstances into account.
- Identifying possible pathologies or factors that explain the difficulties in achieving pregnancy.
- Integrative support for women and/or couples undergoing the process of conceiving a child, experiencing pregnancy loss, or receiving a diagnosis of infertility, addressing various physical, psychological, and social/relational aspects.
Whatever the purpose
If the goal is to achieve pregnancy, we learn to identify ovulation and fertility patterns to maximize the chances of conceiving. We work on areas of physical health, but also on psychological and emotional aspects associated with the processes of trying to conceive and/or diagnosing infertility.
If the goal is to avoid pregnancy, we learn to identify the fertile window without the need for hormonal contraceptive therapy. At the same time, we work on issues related to physical and psychological well-being, in order to optimize reproductive health.
Process
Through fertility therapy sessions, individual and personalized support is provided, considering the goal of family planning and/or optimizing the reproductive health of the woman and/or couple, always taking into account the different physical, psychological, and social/relational components.
Sessions are held via video call and available in Portuguese, Spanish and English.
About me
My name is Liliana Rodrigues. I have a degree in Clinical Psychology and am a Fertility Therapist, certified in the Fertile Body Method®and as a Natural Family Planning instructor by the Natural Family Planning Teachers' Association (United Kingdom).
It took me 5 years to become a mother and only then, at the age of 37, I realized that I did not actually know how my body worked and what was happening during my menstrual cycles. I was not aware of the factors in my control to enhance my fertility and my chances of getting pregnant. At the same time, the fact of not being properly informed for many years did not allow me to take the best decisions for my health and my life. The doctors did not bother to explain it to me and at the end they just referred me to fertility treatments.
Now, with my daughter in my arms, I have enough knowledge and experience to help other women and couples achieve a correct and necessary level of knowledge about their fertility and reproductive health, and to feel supported in a holistic approach (physical, psychological and emotional), which allows them to make the best decisions for their lives, whether to enhance their chances of becoming parents or to avoid pregnancy without hormonal contraceptives.
