People say the nicest things!
Hello Helena! You won’t remember me but myself (and my husband) saw you separately. Best thing we did – you changed up everything for us after a long time of trying everything and getting nowhere. Then last August we welcomed our beautiful girl! I would like to thank you for all your incredible help and expertise getting us there.
I love to hear how my clients get on after they’ve completed sessions with me. For obvious reasons names aren’t given as our sessions are confidential.
Exceptional! Never experienced anything as powerful as my sessions with you. And then to get pregnant ourselves and have our little boy! I can’t recommend you highly enough to anyone going through infertility who needs to get out of that awful place where life sucks.
You helped me right across my life, in so many ways, it’s amazing and here she is at last, our beautiful little miracle. My anxiety got so bad. Doctors don’t discuss the emotional impact infertility has and you’re afraid to mention it. I’m in a different place now, all thanks to you.
I’d dreaded a visit to a friend who’s pregnant. After my Zoom with you I found myself ready go and see her. ask all the usual questions about how she was, and what buggy she wants – all without feeling upset! That was huge for me. You then literally unlocked my fertility. You know the rest!
Working with you was extraordinary, Helena! I got so much from our sessions. You obviously love your work. Your approach is so down to earth and warm. My husband benefited through me and we were reassured with you being a midwife that you knew what you were talking about. Big relief. ‘Enjoying each other’s company’ got a whole lot better!! We feel complete with our perfect little boy. You’re an inspiration. You prepared me so well for the birth – natural, no less – and then for getting back to work after my maternity leave!
I can’t thank you enough, Helena. Written off by a clinic after 3 failed IVFs and facing my 40th birthday, egg donation seemed our only chance of having a baby. You believed in me, and gave me hope. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, it’s due to yourself I’m pregnant with our naturally conceived twins!
“You don’t think you need fertility coaching – I thought I was doing fine! I just wish I’d known about you sooner. My anxiety lifted and my mindset changed. My husband and mother noticed it immediately. I loved being free to ask questions & discuss stuff I couldn’t with family or friends. I got back my confidence and sense of humour. The mood improved, like a weight taken off me, and I felt hopeful again. Against all the odds I’m a proud twin mom! I tell friends to visit you well before starting their fertility treatment.”
A simple and profound thing I discovered with you, is how the mind can literally change the body in such a positive way. His sperm count and quality shot up, in a matter of days between tests. I realised I mightn’t be pregnant yet, and I could be happy right now. As you know, it was 3 months later we got pregnant naturally.
IVF was our only hope of ever having a child. The first time it didn’t work wasn’t so bad as we had frozen embryos. After the fourth failed cycle I nearly cracked up. Everything in my life was awful. I came to you as a last resort. It’s truly phenomenal what you do. The change I felt was extraordinary. You’re so kind and understanding, a true professional at what you do.
I’m a doctor and we’re meant to know how to fix medical problems. We don’t learn how to look after ourselves. Infertility was a big shock to us and being a patient turned my life upside down. I felt so isolated. Working with you was surprising, to say the least. I never expected to have two babies… in 13 months.
‘No-one can believe that I stopped smoking and I’m so proud of myself. One visit, no cravings and I’m even doing a zumba class. My mother is amazed and my partner is over the moon. I stayed stopped this time and lost half a stone. Never looked back and it’s now a year gone. Simples!’
‘Going to you was the turning point for me. You helped me change my mind about who I was, and the anxiety is gone. I went into my last IVF with a totally different attitude, confident – on a mission! It made a huge difference us. I’m 34 weeks now and feel good.
Heartfelt thanks to you, Helena. I’ve no doubt the reason I’m pregnant at last is due to the wonderful sessions I enjoyed with you. God bless you and your work.
“My 40th birthday was looming and I decided to have a baby on my own with my frozen eggs. After the first two cycles failed my confidence plummeted. You helped me through a rough patch, and made all the difference for my next cycle to work. Thank you for your care and wisdom.”
I’ve been bursting to share my news with you for a while! I’m 32 weeks pregnant with twin boys! I just wanted to thank you for getting me here. You picked up the pieces after the heartache of 3 miscarriages.
From my first Zoom I felt you understood what I was going through. Thank you forever x
I’m back with you on my second baby. I had my little girl three years ago after 6 years trying everything. It was incredible to get pregnant naturally at 39. And again at 41! You are amazing.
Your birth prep had me calm and ready even when I had to be induced. The midwife came around next day to tell me how well I did. My husband knew what to do. I knew what I’d feel every step of the way so there was no fear and my contractions were manageable. Felt so proud of having a normal birth after everything we went through to get pregnant the first time.
“Just wanted to let you know that today I presented to 140 people for two hours, with no problem at all … so thank you very much for your help.”
“Our little baby girl Chloe, arrived yesterday at 1pm, she is perfect! Still can’t believe it, and nothing but gas & air. We’re on cloud nine! Thank you so much Helena. You gave me hope when there was none. You were with us after our long haul of unexplained infertility.”
‘It’s like I’m smiling all the time now, and that feels normal. I never thought the panic attacks would just be gone. 4 failed IVFs in one year was just too much for me. You transformed my mindset and I was a different person doing the last two cycles that gave me my girls.” ‘
“Helena Tubridy’s blog has a primary focus of infertility and IVF coaching/counseling for both men and women. Having gone through infertility and IVF I know how beneficial it can be to have a professional resource for quality, reassuring information. I know how stressful infertility and IVF can be, which is why I find Helena’s blog special. She devotes a good portion of her blog to mental health, including the topics of mindfulness, general stress, hypnotherapy, CBT, and relaxation. I believe her information could benefit everybody, not just those living with infertility. Helena Tubridy is a psychotherapist, hypnotherapist, fertility coach, and former registered gynae nurse & midwife. I would not be at all surprised to find that she is an astronaut as well! She clearly has a love of learning and a strong desire to educate others and help them achieve not only a family, but overall happiness and comfort with themselves.” Lisa, IVF mum & blogger at www.theworrygames.com
I came to you over a year ago as my fiancé/now husband and I were having penetration problems and I was diagnosed with vaginismus by my doctor. I wanted to let you know we overcame our problem and are now expecting our first baby! We’re delighted to have a normal life in that respect and very excited about the baby. I just wanted to thank you for the big role you played in us overcoming our problem so we could conceive naturally.
Thank you Helena, for what you did for us. I can’t believe this little man beside me, sleeping his head off, is 15 weeks old already. Seems like another lifetime since I started with you, in the pits of misery, trying for another baby. The medical route is hard. I’d lost hope and felt desperate. You’re a breath of fresh air, so switched on and lovely. You got me over that roadblock. Being a mother means everything to me. I wish I met you a whole lot sooner.
Happiness is…
…Hope restored andfreedom from anxiety!
