Pre conception and pregnancy enables the possibility of experiencing depths of intimacy and creating the most amazing transformations ever imaginable. It is a time where you understand and honour your body to allow for the changes that pregnancy unfolds. And a way in which to connect and LOVE the process of creating your baby.

Praise and Happy Outcomes
“I liken IVF to gambling, it’s like pouring money into a machine with no guarantee you will ever win while it slowly takes an agonising toll on you. I realised at 43, I had less than a 3% chance of having a baby. It was time for a change in tack. I met Helen who opened my eyes to how the subconscious can affect fertility, and how the physical, mental, and spiritual realms work in unison. I realised that I had been focusing on only half the equation with IVF. My hope began to return. Helen took me through a number of processes to help heal the blockages that had been built up over the years. During a womb alignment process, I was finally able to fully grieve the loss of a past pregnancy. I made peace with past partners and connected with my spirit babies.
By the third and final cycle, I was on 14 different medications, but I had surrendered fully to the process. I remember the day so clearly when the nurse called me…finally pregnant at 45 to twins!! I experienced the joy reserved for motherhood”.
“Helen is amazing and so passionate in helping people to have their dream child. After losing my first baby at 20 weeks due to incompetent cervix in December 2019, I was so devastated. It was my first pregnancy after 7 years of IVF. A year later, my natural healer recommended me to read the book “Consciously Conceive Your Baby” written by Helen Zee. After that, my husband and I contacted Helen and we had a 2 day private session with her on December 2020. I got pregnant 3 months after. Our daughter is one year old. Thanks Helen, for being an important part of my journey into motherhood. We are forever grateful for your guidance, caring and love.”
I didn’t realise how much the stress and anxiousness was affecting my cycles. Taking on Helen’s advice and protocol helped me shape up, destress and reactivate my normal periods. My doctor asked me what I did differently! I was able to put my IVF journey behind me. After 3 years, I was finally pregnant at 44 and felt blissful and graced with good health and a healthy daughter.
My partner and I felt totally supported and guided to share deeper with one another and trust we were heard and understood. Helen’s caring nature made it easy it easy to discuss our intimacy concerns and work on them to create the change we needed. Her notes and guidance allowed us to incorporate intimacy practices around the fertility cycle. This has unlocked the blocks and got us back on track. We are re-enjoying each other, feel stronger than ever and are creating this baby out of pure love again. 🙏
This is a fertility and health wellbeing program that goes so much deeper. I’ve learned women’s knowledge that I just didn’t get from my upbringing. Helen’s physiological knowledge has also been so revealing and instructive. There is so much to learn about our bodies. I know how to tune into my body, and advocate for myself better at medical appointments.
“Both Doug and I were fortunate to have a liberating second pregnancy and stronger relationship. Without hospitalisation. Without IVF. Without caesarean and feeling more healthy. We worked with Helen for five months before we conceived. Our first pregnancy took four years and copious amounts of IVF. We managed to feel empowered, close and the natural way of conceiving. And we got to enjoy each other so much more in creating little Zoe, brother for Luke.”
“Before meeting you I was blindly fighting my way through sadness, anger, PCOS and fear of infertility. I was desperate to get pregnant and I was overwhelmed, questioning to the point of what food to put in my mouth. But your knowledge, encouragement and infectious sense of peace, I became to see my PCOS diagnosis as a journey where the destination would be so much sweeter than what I could have imagined. The calmness meant my husband was more relaxed around me and we were able to enjoy the intimacy to parenthood again. And that was a relief!”
