Natural Fertility and Birth in Barcelona

If you are looking for a an alternative to clinical fertility programmes or would like support for your planned natural birth in Barcelona, Brooke Phillip's, El Programa de Fertilidad Natural may be your answer.  Brooke also offers support to women during pregnancy, helps them to prepare for natural birth and treats postpartum conditions...

El Programma de Fertilidad Natural was created by, Acupuncturist, Brooke Phillips who has lived in Barcelona since early 2007 with her Catalan husband and daughter.  She specialises in all areas of fertility and pregnancy, treating couples struggling with infertility and those who want to prepare themselves for conception.  Brooke supports women during pregnancy, helps to prepare for natural birth, and treats postpartum conditions. She also helps women recover physically and emotionally from miscarriage. 

In their unique Programa de Fertilidad Natural, Brooke and her husband Ferran combine acupuncture, cranial-sacral therapy, homeopathy, Bach flower essences, herbs, nutrition and an original system called Total Body Analysis.  The Total Body Analysis kits hold one thousand small vials containing the vibratory frequencies of each tissue and function of the body, as well as all possible disease causing agents.  Using kinesiology,  toxins can be identified that may be interfering with health on an electromagnetic level. A remedy is then produced to support the body’s healing ability.   Brooke and Ferran are the only practitioners of Total Body Analysis in Europe.

"Acupuncture is the main tool used in the programme, says Brooke.  Sessions are deeply relaxing and effective for balancing hormones, improving blood circulation, and relieving stress.  There have been several recent studies carried out that show the effectiveness of acupuncture in improving reproductive health as well as relieving nausea and back pain commonly associated with pregnancy.

My ultimate goal is to help couples create the healthiest babies possible.  I think it is really beneficial to eliminate as many toxins and health problems from the prospective parents before conception takes place.  I place a lot of emphasis on nutrition and stress reduction in order to prepare a woman’s body to grow a baby.  People of indigenous cultures understood the importance of preparing both the man and woman to ensure a healthy baby would be produced.  I am trying to bring that wisdom into today’s world.” 

Brooke and Ferran have patients in the Barcelona area and Cerdanyola del Valles.

Testimonials from Brooke’s patients

"I began seeing Brooke for acupuncture to help me regain my health and energy as well as my emotional well being after my miscarriage. I very much wanted to be pregnant again and was having difficulty achieving that. I immediately felt very at ease with Brooke as she has a very calming energy. She was attentive and thoughtful as I told her my different situations. My acupuncture sessions were relaxing and enlightening. I conceived just a few days after my first fertility acupuncture treatment! I continued to see Brooke for acupuncture during my pregnancy (it was very helpful for my morning sickness, as well!) and now I have a beautiful healthy baby girl." D.H. 28yrs, Natural

"I am a believer. After one and a half years of medical fertility treatments including several failed IVF cycles I decided to give acupuncture and Chinese medicine a try. It took six months to get my body back into balance and to become pregnant. I am now the proud mother a healthy baby boy. I feel blessed beyond words. Thank you Brooke for your wonderful care and support." K.B. 40 yrs, Natural

"My husband and I had been trying to get pregnant naturally for 16 months. We were really struggling with our infertility--my husband had a low sperm count and was diagnosed with a varicocele, and my menstrual charts were less than stellar. As a health care provider, I was becoming frustrated that the modality I was using to help other women get pregnant wasn't working for me. I contacted Brooke and she was able to recommend treatments and remedies for both me and my husband. The month that we began using her recommendations was the month we got pregnant. I have no doubt that it was Brooke's knowledge and skill, not to mention her healing presence, that helped us conceive. We are forever grateful to her." T.H.,31 ysrs, Natural

“I visited Brooke Phillips when I was in the 41st week of pregnancy with my son. I was hoping to get labour started naturally and avoid a medical induction. I had one session of acupuncture, after which I felt very relaxed and calmer than I had for many days. I went into labour a day and a half later. Brooke was friendly and professional and I felt very confident in her hands.”  E.J.
