Reiki and Fertility – How Reiki can support those preparing for conception by creating an environment of relaxation and emotional readiness. Connecting to Spirit Babies – Julie shares insights on helping patients connect with their spirit babies and welcome them into their lives.

In this episode of the Women's Health & Fertility Podcast, Dr. Yang is joined by Malaika Clelland, a licensed clinical social worker specializing in perinatal trauma. Certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Malaika shares how this powerful therapy helps clients heal from fertility challenges, birth trauma, and pregnancy loss. EMDR works by allowing patients to recall traumatic events while following bilateral stimuli (e.g., a therapist's finger), which helps the brain reprocess the experience. This technique releases trauma stored in the body, leading to long-term emotional healing. Malaika explains how unresolved trauma can affect the mind and body, leading to emotional distress and anxiety, particularly for high-achieving women facing fertility setbacks. She also shares strategies for postpartum mental health, including creating a postpartum plan, prioritizing sleep, building a support system, and asking for help when needed.
