Fertility Massage

A bit of history…

Jill Copeland-Henderson has been a massage therapist since 2002. Within a year of graduating she took her first two classes in CranioSacral Therapy and she has continued the upper level trainings over the years. If was probably around 2008 when she took her first Visceral Manipulation course and delved even more into a fascination with the multiple layers, functions, and intertwinement of the body systems. She took Claire-Marie Miller’s Fertility Massage Specialist training and slowly began to combine what she had learned from all of the modalities to what is now a comprehensive approach to address both physical restrictions within the body and hormone communication between the brain and organs of fertility.

Who may benefit…

Jill has worked with women in all phases of their fertility journey and had success with so many. You can come within your first few months of trying to conceive or you can come before an IVF transfer. She has also worked with women who have donor embryos! Some women have success after one session and some it takes longer. Not everyone will be able to conceive but for many women it has been helpful both physically and emotionally. Several women have also come for the purpose of regulating their cycles without wanting to conceive.

When to book…

It is important to come only in the time between the end of menstruation and beginning of ovulation. This work cannot be done if there is a chance you are currently pregnant. If your cycles are regular you should be able to book in advance. If your cycles are unpredictable, go ahead and make contact with Jill then let her know when you have started menstruation.

Jill’s schedule is not typically available online, please fill out the following form and she will be in touch with her availability.

What to expect…

Fertility Massage is not like typical massage at all. You will be face up the entire time and able to leave on your bra and underwear. Your chest and legs will be covered while Visceral Manipulation is done on your abdomen, and castor oil is applied at the end of abdominal work. Then Reflexology, Lymphatic Drainage, and CranioSacral are done while hot towels help the castor oil to absorb into the tissue. A custom blended Fertility Aromatherapy will be used throughout the session.

Overall most women report being incredibly relaxed. You can expect to receive 10-15 minutes of consultation before the session and a full 60 minutes of hands-on time.
