IVF is not just a medical procedure.

It is an initiation.

You are not just stimulating ovaries and monitoring follicles. You are preparing to open a portal. And if no one has told you this yet — your baby is not only looking for a viable embryo.

Your baby is looking for safety.

While your clinic prepares your body physically, this is the work that prepares your nervous system, your emotions, and your womb energetically.

Because conception isn’t just chemistry.

It’s coherence.

Let’s prepare you fully.

1. Why IVF Preparation Must Go Beyond the Physical

Most women preparing for IVF are given a protocol.

Medications. Bloodwork. Retrieval dates. Transfer timelines.

But almost no one asks:

  • Does your body feel safe?
  • Are you holding grief from previous losses?
  • Is your nervous system chronically braced?
  • Is your womb carrying emotional residue?
  • Are you disconnected from your own intuition?

Fertility clinics are designed to optimize outcomes medically. That’s their job.

But they are not trained to address emotional trauma, ancestral imprinting, nervous system dysregulation, or energetic stagnation.

And those things matter.

Your womb is not just an organ.

She is a memory holder. A trauma holder. An ancestral archive. A sacred portal.

When you prepare emotionally and energetically before IVF, you are not rejecting medicine.

You are creating the internal environment where implantation can thrive.


2. Reiki as Womb Reclamation

Reiki is not just relaxation.

It is nervous system regulation. Cellular communication. Womb remembrance.

When you’ve been trying for a while — especially after failed cycles or miscarriage — your womb can feel:

  • Tense
  • Disappointed
  • Guarded
  • Betrayed
  • Braced for bad news

Reiki softens that armor.

It increases blood flow to the pelvic bowl. It lowers stress hormones. It releases stored emotional density. It signals safety to the body.

And safety is what allows receiving.

A Simple Daily Womb Reiki Practice

You don’t need to complicate this.

  • Sit somewhere quiet.
  • Place both hands over your lower belly.
  • Inhale slowly through your nose.
  • Exhale longer than you inhale.
  • Visualize warm golden light filling your womb.

Then say internally:

“I am safe to receive. My womb is open. I trust the timing.”

Ten minutes a day of intentional connection changes your internal landscape more than obsessively researching embryo grading ever will.

You are not just healing.

You are reclaiming your womb as sacred space.


3. Emotional Release: Feel It to Free It

Let’s stop pretending IVF is emotionally neutral.

It brings up everything.

Grief from past losses. Jealousy from pregnancy announcements. Rage at dismissive doctors. Shame about your body. Fear that it may never happen.

And what are women told?

“Just stay positive.”

No.

Suppressed emotion becomes stored tension. Stored tension affects hormonal balance. Chronic emotional suppression dysregulates the nervous system.

Your emotions are not obstacles to conception.

They are energy asking to move.

How to Move Emotional Energy Before IVF

  • Journal without censoring yourself.
  • Write a rage letter and tear it up.
  • Let yourself cry intentionally instead of suppressing it.
  • Speak your fears out loud.
  • Work with a trauma-informed therapist or somatic practitioner.

Your spirit baby is not afraid of your tears.

They are waiting for you to clear what feels heavy.

When you feel fully, you create space.

And space is what allows new life to enter.


4. Nervous System Safety: The Fertility Foundation

This is the piece most women overlook.

When your body is in fight-or-flight, it prioritizes survival — not reproduction.

Chronic stress impacts progesterone, blood flow, inflammation, sleep, and implantation potential.

And IVF itself is stressful.

So we must actively create safety.

Signs Your Nervous System Is Dysregulated

  • You’re constantly researching and obsessing.
  • You brace before every appointment.
  • You struggle to sleep.
  • You feel detached from your body.
  • You expect bad news.

This doesn’t mean you’re broken.

It means your system is protecting you.

Practices to Regulate Before Transfer

  • 4-4-8 breathing (inhale 4, hold 4, exhale 8)
  • Barefoot grounding outdoors
  • Warm magnesium baths
  • Gentle yoga instead of intense workouts
  • Limiting social media triggers
  • Daily intentional stillness

Regulation is not indulgent.

It is foundational.

Your womb opens in safety.


5. Spirit Baby Connection Before Transfer

You’ve probably felt them already.

In dreams. In repeating numbers. In songs that make you cry. In a quiet knowing that doesn’t make logical sense but feels undeniable.

Spirit baby connection is not fantasy.

It is relationship.

When you consciously connect before transfer, you shift from fear into partnership.

From “please work” into “we are doing this together.”

Why This Connection Changes Everything

When you feel connected, you:

  • Reduce anxiety before transfer
  • Feel emotionally supported
  • Stop obsessing over control
  • Trust the process more deeply
  • Shift from desperation into devotion

Your baby’s soul is not waiting for perfect hormone levels.

They are waiting for safety, alignment, and readiness.

How to Strengthen the Connection

You can begin simply:

  • Write letters to your future baby.
  • Meditate and invite their presence.
  • Light a candle and speak to them.
  • Ask for a sign and stay open.
  • Visualize holding them and feel it in your body.

But if you want to truly understand how to communicate clearly, discern intuition from fear, and strengthen that soul connection confidently — this is exactly what we teach inside Spirit Baby University.

Inside the course, you learn:

  • How to distinguish intuition from anxiety
  • How to receive clear spirit baby messages
  • How to connect in meditation safely
  • How to release doubt and open the channel
  • How to prepare energetically for conception

This isn’t about wishful thinking.

It’s about building a conscious relationship with the soul who is choosing you.

And when that relationship strengthens, so does your peace going into IVF.

You are no longer alone in the process.

You are preparing together.


6. The Power of a Reiki Womb Clearing

If there is one practice I consider deeply powerful before IVF, it’s a dedicated womb clearing.

Your womb holds more than you realize.

Energy from past lovers. Grief from miscarriages. Shame from societal messaging. Ancestral fertility patterns. Fear inherited from your lineage.

Clearing this is not symbolic.

It is somatic. Energetic. Real.

What a Womb Clearing Can Release

  • Sexual trauma or unresolved experiences
  • Residue from past relationships
  • Emotional imprint from failed cycles
  • Ancestral stories about motherhood
  • Self-blame and unworthiness
  • Fear stored in the pelvic bowl

Women often describe feeling:

  • Lighter
  • Warmer in their womb space
  • More open physically and emotionally
  • Deeply peaceful
  • Reconnected to their body

Before you ask your womb to receive, clear what she’s been carrying.

And if you’re ready to experience this for yourself, you can receive a free womb clearing inside the Make A Baby Community. You can join here!

Because this work should be accessible.

Inside the community, you’ll be guided through a powerful clearing designed specifically for women preparing for conception — whether naturally or through IVF.

You don’t have to carry it alone anymore.

You just have to decide you’re ready to clear the space.


7. Preparing Your Womb as Sacred Space

You wouldn’t bring a baby home to chaos.

You would clean. Soften. Prepare.

Do the same internally.

Create rituals:

  • Light a candle during injections.
  • Speak gratitude to your body daily.
  • Place your hands on your womb before sleep.
  • Replace “What if it fails?” with “What if it works?”
  • Thank your womb for holding the possibility.

Motherhood begins before pregnancy.

It begins the moment you choose healing over hustle.

You are not just undergoing IVF.

You are becoming a mother energetically before you become one physically.

When you regulate your nervous system, release emotional residue, clear ancestral imprints, and connect with your spirit baby — you are preparing the space.

Your womb is wise.
Your body is listening.
Your baby feels your devotion.

And whether conception happens this cycle or another, the work you do now changes your lineage forever.

Hey there! It’s carolina sotomayor.

I am the creator of Make A Baby™ programs and your dedicated Womb Healer. I've been fortunate to guide and heal many women, contributing to the welcoming of over 111 beautiful Reiki babies into the world.

My journey started as a newlywed, facing the heartache of infertility. Despite doctors assuring me everything was okay and advising me to "relax," disappointment filled each passing month. It was a turning point when my therapist and trusted psychic suggested Reiki to align my chakras. Taking their advice, I experienced Reiki, and the next month, I happily discovered I was pregnant with my son.
