Navigating the Emotional Landscape of Fertility with Anne-Marie Pereira

Navigating the Emotional Landscape of Fertility with Anne-Marie Pereira

Author: Emmamma September 24, 2026 Duration: 45:30

In this episode, Emma speaks with Anne-Marie Pereira, a Fertility and Emotional Healing Therapist, about the profound connection between emotional patterns, subconscious beliefs, and fertility challenges. Anne-Marie shares her personal journey of loss and healing, including the loss of her second son and how that experience led her to explore hypnotherapy and emotional healing work. She explains how unexplained infertility often has emotional roots and discusses specific beliefs that can impact fertility, such as fears of repeating family patterns, inherited generational trauma, and negative self-talk about the body. The conversation covers how the body contracts in response to emotional stress and fear, making it difficult to receive pregnancy. Anne-Marie provides practical first steps for listeners: observing your self-talk, bringing creative energy into your life, and using daily practices like meditation recordings to shift mindset. She emphasizes that women have agency in their fertility journey and can create a strong partnership with their bodies through positive affirmations and emotional healing work.
