Episode 124: Another fertility expert interview to celebrate the launch of a fabulous new book 'The Way of Fertility.' ⁠ Insightful, inspiring and full of hope alongside beautiful true life stories from Michelle's clients. ⁠ In this week's episode we discuss: - How emotions impact the body from the lens of Chinese medicine - The role of intuition when it comes to reproductive health - Heart-uterus connection and how modern research findings reflect it - The power of being in a state of flow and how it relates to our vitality - The impact that the mind has over our body An excerpt from my favourite part of the book: “Vibrations play a⁠ crucial role in our daily lives; vibration is what inherently connects us to the world around us. We ourselves emit vibrations, and we are constantly responding to vibrations of all kinds, including the sound waves we hear, the energy that surrounds us, and the frequency at which our emotions⁠ resonate. By understanding the profound impact that these vibrations have on us, we can harness their harmonious potential to improve our overall well-being.⁠ ⁠ When we are in a state of balance and harmony, our vibrations are aligned, and we radiate coherent energy. Conversely, when our vibrations are⁠ disrupted or out of sync, we may experience feelings of unease⁠ or discomfort." ⁠This book shares the energetics of fertility through the lens of ancient wisdom and I love it. Michelle Oravitz, L.Ac, FABORM is an acupuncturist, specializing in Fertility Health. She found her love in Chinese medicine after it helped her through her own menstrual cycle challenges and this inspired her to change her career from architecture to acupuncture. Michelle is the host of a top rated podcast called ‘The Wholesome Fertility Podcast’ . She has been endorsed by best-selling authors such as Aimee Raupp, Jessica Ortner, and Dr. Lisa Miller. Michelle has been on a mission to help women get pregnant (naturally and IVF preparation) through her one on one work at her acupuncture clinic as well as online. She recently authored a new book, The Way of Fertility, which dives deep into the energetics of fertility through the lens of ancient wisdom. Michelle believes that our bodies are hardwired to procreate and by connecting to our inherent wisdom, we can awaken our natural reproductive vitality. This is a very powerful read.
