PERSONALIZED SUPPORT FOR THIS CYCLE

Fertility Support
Right Where You Are

A personalized Mayan abdominal fertility massage session for women actively trying to conceive—or thoughtfully preparing for an upcoming cycle.

For conception cycles, schedule after your period and before ovulation.

You do not have to piece everything together alone.

SUPPORT FOR THE CYCLE YOU ARE IN

Perhaps you are already tracking ovulation, preparing to begin trying, or wondering what else you can do to support your body this month.

The Fertility Support Session offers personalized Mayan abdominal fertility work shaped around your cycle, health history, and reproductive goals. We will begin with a consultation, talk through where you are in your cycle, and create a session that meets your body where it is that day.

This is a supportive place to begin when you want focused, hands-on fertility care without enrolling in a longer program.

Hands-on care centered around your reproductive wellness.

MAYAN ABDOMINAL FERTILITY WORK

Mayan abdominal fertility work uses gentle, external noninvasive techniques intended to support circulation, mobility, pelvic alignment, and overall wellness throughout the abdominal and reproductive region.

Your session may focus on areas of tension or restriction surrounding the abdomen, pelvis, uterus, and supporting tissues. Every treatment is personalized rather than following the same routine for every client.

This work does not force an outcome or replace medical fertility care. It gives you dedicated time to receive bodywork, reconnect with your body, and support your reproductive wellness as you move through your fertility journey.

This work is informed by two lineages of traditional abdominal care: my training in the Arvigo® approach, which forms the foundation of much of my work, and my studies in the Yucatán with Maya midwife Rafaela Can Ake.

During that journey, I also had the honor of participating in a fertility ceremony at this site—an experience that deepened my respect for the traditions surrounding women’s reproductive wellness.

How Mayan Fertility Massage Supports the Body

REPRODUCTIVE BENEFITS

Healthy reproductive function depends in part on circulation, mobility, alignment, and communication throughout the pelvic region. Restrictions involving the muscles, fascia, ligaments, and surrounding tissues may influence how freely this area moves and functions.

This personalized work is designed to:

  • Improve circulation to the uterus and ovaries

  • Support a healthy environment for developing eggs

  • Reduce pelvic congestion and inflammation

  • Encourage optimal uterine positioning and mobility

  • Release restrictions and scar-tissue adhesions surrounding the reproductive organs

  • Support communication between the reproductive organs and hormonal systems

  • Encourage lymphatic movement through the abdomen and pelvis

  • Calm the nervous system and help the body move out of a prolonged stress response

  • Assists liver detoxification for hormone balance

  • Complements ART cycles up until embryo transfer

Fertility massage is complementary care and does not guarantee conception or replace evaluation or treatment by a qualified medical provider.

Is a Single Fertility Support Session right for you?

A SIMPLE PLACE TO BEGIN

This session is best suited to someone who:

  • Is actively trying to conceive and feels confident identifying ovulation

  • Can schedule after menstruation and before ovulation—or is willing to use the current month as a preparation cycle

  • Wants personalized Mayan abdominal fertility massage timed around your cycle

  • Has recently begun trying and does not have a known complex fertility concern

  • Is preparing for an upcoming conception cycle

  • Is curious about fertility bodywork before choosing a longer program

  • Wants focused care without committing to consecutive months of treatment

  • Would like support alongside IUI, IVF or other fertility care

Please note: The Single Fertility Support Session does not include ovulation training or ongoing cycle-chart reviews. If you rely primarily on an app or are uncertain when you ovulate, Womb Preparation may be the better starting point.

If your fertility journey is longer, more complex or time-sensitive—or you are 35 or older and have been trying for six months—you may benefit from more comprehensive support alongside appropriate medical care.

For clients undergoing IUI or IVF, please contact me before booking so we can discuss your protocol and the most appropriate timing.

The timing depends on what you are preparing for.

WHEN TO SCHEDULE

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

If you are trying to conceive this month

Schedule your session after menstrual bleeding has ended and before ovulation. This allows us to provide fertility-focused abdominal bodywork during the pre-ovulatory portion of your cycle.

Because ovulation does not occur on the same cycle day for every woman, use your own cycle patterns and fertile signs when choosing your appointment—not a universal “Day 14” rule.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

If you are preparing for a future cycle

If you are not trying to conceive during your current cycle and are preparing for the following month, your appointment can generally be scheduled at any time besides during your period. Your session will be adapted to where you are that day.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

If you are receiving IUI or IVF care

Please contact me before booking. The timing and type of bodywork may need to be adapted around medications, monitoring, procedures, and instructions from your fertility clinic.

MORE THAN 20 YEARS OF WOMEN’S WELLNESS EXPERIENCE

Hi, I’m Candice.

For more than 20 years, I have supported women through fertility, pregnancy, postpartum healing, and every season in between. My work brings together personalized fertility bodywork, cycle education, traditional womb-care practices, and a deep respect for each woman’s individual path.

After navigating my own reproductive-health journey—including endometriosis, multiple surgeries, and becoming a mother at 42—I understand how quickly fertility care can become overwhelming. My goal is to offer thoughtful, personalized support that helps you feel cared for, informed, and more connected to your body at every stage of your journey.

What Women are Saying

  • “Candice’s knowledge of women’s health was exactly what I needed to feel confident in my body again—and the massage itself was amazing. She helped me understand the connection between my hips, glutes, and the structures supporting my uterus. I had carried problems in my left hip since falling from a horse, and my periods had always been painful. When my period arrived after our session, it genuinely surprised me because I hadn’t experienced my usual PMS cramps.”

    -Cammy, 39

  • “Candice could immediately sense the tension I was holding through my belly and hips. Afterward, my abdomen looked noticeably slimmer—an effect I was not expecting at all. I joked that I didn’t need to go to the gym that day because I already looked so good! I left feeling lighter, more relaxed, and more comfortable in my body.”

    -Anaya

  • “After two unsuccessful IVF attempts, I only wish I had found Candice sooner. The sessions were emotional and deeply relaxing at the same time. It felt as though I could finally release some of the stress I had been carrying and allow myself to receive support. Candice taught me self-care massage so I could continue the work at home. On the morning of my next transfer, I sat in the parking lot of the IVF clinic and practiced the massage she had shown me. It helped me feel grounded, present, and hopeful as I walked inside. That transfer was successful, and I am now holding my baby boy. I plan to return to Candice when we are ready to try again.”

    -Debby, 36

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • It is gentle, external abdominal and pelvic bodywork intended to support mobility, circulation, relaxation, and overall pelvic wellness. Your treatment is personalized to your body and reproductive goals.

    The focus is massage to the belly, hips and low back.

  • No. The Single Session includes personalized bodywork and guidance about when to schedule your treatment, but it does not include ovulation training, ongoing cycle tracking, or monthly chart reviews.

    This session is best if you already feel confident identifying ovulation and can schedule your appointment after your period and before ovulation when trying to conceive that cycle.

    If you rely primarily on a calendar-based app, are uncertain about your fertile signs, or have struggled to time intercourse accurately, I recommend Womb Preparation. Across three cycles, we work together to understand cervical mucus, LH testing, your fertile window, and the patterns happening in your body in real time. Your app can remain a helpful backup instead of being your only guide.

  • Choose the Single Fertility Support Session if you already know when you ovulate and want focused, hands-on support for a particular cycle.

    Choose Womb Preparation if you want three cycles of bodywork, ovulation education, guided tracking, and personalized home care before actively trying. You will enter TTC understanding your fertile signs and feeling practiced, prepared, and more confident about your timing.

  • Schedule after your period has ended and before ovulation. Because every cycle is different, choose your appointment using your personal cycle patterns rather than assuming ovulation always happens on Day 14.

    For a 28 day period - this may only give you one week to schedule. So timing gets a tad harder,l

  • Yes, if you are not trying to conceive during the current cycle and are using the session to prepare for a future month. Your treatment will be adapted to your current cycle phase.

    Essentially, you can book anytime in the month then that you ane not on your period.

  • Contact me before booking. We will consider your medications, monitoring schedule, procedures, and clinic instructions before determining whether and when bodywork is appropriate.

  • One session can provide meaningful hands-on support and a thoughtful introduction to fertility bodywork. However, bodies and cycles reveal patterns over time. If you want ongoing education, chart reviews, home-care training, and three months of preparation, Womb Preparation offers the most comprehensive value.

  • No. Fertility massage cannot guarantee conception, implantation, or a particular reproductive outcome. It is complementary care intended to support your comfort, body awareness, and reproductive wellness.

  • We can discuss follow-up sessions or whether Womb Preparation or the Fertility Intensive better fits your needs. There is no pressure to choose a longer program.
