Fertility Issues In Today's World

It is estimated that one in six American women are infertile. If you have this challenge, you are not alone. Infertility is so widespread that hardly a person exists who does not know of someone diagnosed with it. Yet, many of those affected never speak about it, and they may even feel ashamed about their inability to conceive a child. As a result of this silence, the traumas, fears, and guilt associated with it from the past may present obstacles in their creative paths. These barriers to success, if left unattended, will continue to fester.

To those who are challenged by fertility issues, it may seem that there is nowhere to run. You may have attempted to conceive for many months or many years, and you feel exhausted and defeated. You are rooted in despair. You begin to believe that infertility is a disease and that you are ill. 



You are stuck in a bind. There seems to be a disconnect between who you are as a woman and what you are attempting to accomplish. The good news is that you are more than the physical body you represent. Indeed, you are a whole human being, in body, mind, and spirit. And how you feel plays a major part in your reproductive life.

The Focus is on Wellness

The program at The Summit Center for Ideal Performance, Metamorphosis: Fertility Enhancement Coaching, was designed so that women can learn to use skills that will aid in improving the chances of conception, help in getting through procedures and treatments with ease, and assisting in preparation for a healthy pregnancy after conception.

Unlike many programs that deal only with the physical aspects of who you are as a woman, Metamorphosis works with the body, mind, spirit, and emotional well-being. It is the only program that combines the expertise of Dr. Silverstein’s 26 years of work as a peak performance coach and clinical hypnotherapist with The Fertile Body Method, which is a comprehensive and effective 6-stage method used commonly in Europe and Australia.

Since infertility is not a disease, in and of itself, the program focuses on wellness and health to help you to rebalance. Not only do you experience skills like self-hypnosis, but you learn how to apply it in your everyday life situations, even during an embryo transfer, which has been proven in research.

Who Would be Prime Candidates for the Program?

• Are having problems with infertility

What is the Performance Model and How Does it Work?

“You can only achieve what your mind can conceive and believe!”

What makes Metamorphosis: Fertility Enhancement Coaching at The Summit Center for Ideal Performance so unique? How does the Performance Model differ from those used by other health care professionals? A major difference is that we view fertility and pregnancy as normal and natural processes that can be mentally imagined and rehearsed for success. In programs that use a strictly physical or psychological approach, infertility is seen as a disease. Therefore, a medical model is used that is illness oriented rather than one of wellness.

What makes it even more unique is that the Mindful Toughness® tools learned are not just aimed at becoming pregnant. They are portable skills that are useful in virtually all life situations; they allow you to deal successfully with any challenges that you are faced with in life.

What is the Fertile Body Method & How Does it Work?

The Fertile Body Method was developed by Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer in the UK. She is a clinical hypnotherapist, specializing in fertility and related issues. She worked in a central London practice and as a part of an integrated fertility clinic. In addition, she has lectured internationally for The London College of Clinical Hypnosis. It is in this clinic that she saw the need to develop her method that would empower couples who want to have children.

The use of The Fertile Body Method is popular in Europe, New Zealand, and Australia. However, there are only a few certified hypnotherapists in the US who are authorized to practice this method. It combines hypnotherapeutic techniques with other mind-body approaches. Through the facilitation of Dr. Christine Silverstein, a certified professional hypnotherapist and Fertile Body Method practitioner, you will be gently guided on the healing journey with imagery, visualization, cognitive restructuring, metaphors, and storytelling, so you can reach your full creative potential.

By taking advantage of the opportunity to explore this method, you can open your subconscious mind to new possibilities that lie beneath the surface of consciousness. This begins by identifying and addressing the mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical factors that affect your fertility. Challenges with conception and pregnancy can occur when there is an imbalance in the mind-body connection, and harmony is lost. 

While processing through the six stages, you will learn valuable mind-body techniques and tools that will help guide you to gaining knowledge about your creative self. You are guided through the journey from conception to birth. Dr. Silverstein aids you in dealing better with whatever challenges come your way and making decisions that are right for you.

Combining the Mindful Toughness® techniques developed by Dr. Silverstein with The Fertile Body Method provides you with very powerful tools to achieve your fertility goals.
