Jennifer Edmonds is one of those people you cannot help but be drawn to online! Her hilarious RELATABLE reels combined with gentle invitations to reconnect to your body through yoga and pilates is so needed in the fertility space.
The founder of Elements Pilates & Yoga, Jen, based in Australia but with a global audience, supports women through infertility and pregnancy loss using fertility yoga, pilates and nervous system work.
Jen shares her own fertility journey in this episode, which includes an early menopause diagnosis in her early 30s, which led to cycles that didn’t respond to IVF medication, and years of trying to understand what was happening in her body.
Against the odds, she conceived her daughter through IVF. But when she later faced secondary infertility, multiple failed treatments and pregnancy loss, everything changed again.
It was discovering yoga during the COVID lockdown that helped Jen reconnect with her body, regulate her nervous system, and slowly rebuild trust in herself.
We talk about:
- Being diagnosed with early menopause in your 30s
- IVF cycles that don’t go to plan
- Secondary infertility and the guilt that can come with it
- The role of nervous system regulation in fertility
- How yoga and spiritual practices supported Jen through loss and pregnancy
So much of the fertility journey happens in the spaces between appointments.
Those days, weeks and months where you are waiting for answers.
How you care for yourself during those stretches makes a huge difference.
