ABOUT THE COURSE:

This workshop aims to provide therapists with an understanding of what infertility means, its causes, the impact and the fertility treatments available to heterosexual couples, people from the LGBTIAQ+ community and single parents by choice.

The intention of this workshop is that the therapist is not only confident in their reflexology treatment but is equipped to hold space for a client who presents with infertility concerns or is receiving fertility treatment.

This workshop will support your understanding of the complex area of infertility and fertility treatments so you can focus on the client's physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being.

The workshop will be delivered in 2 parts

In Part 1 

Infertility and what it is.
Fundamentals of Treatment Options
Basic Impact on Individuals and Couples
Foundational Overview of the Role of Fertility Counselling
By the end of part 1 the therapist will feel confident in having the basic knowledge of what infertility is, its effects on the individual/couple and the fertility treatment options available.

There will be a case study along with reflection and discussion time throughout the workshop to support experiential learning and developing your understanding of the topic.
