From Grief and Infertility to Conscious Pregnancy with Ashley Holmes

Ashley Holmes, a holistic fertility coach whose work grew out of her own experience with grief, unexplained infertility, motherhood, yoga, Ayurveda, and nervous system healing, joins me this week.Ashley grew up on a farm in a small Canadian town. After the sudden death of her older brother, her family life changed dramatically, and she later left Canada for New Zealand in search of a fresh start. That time abroad deepened her love of children and eventually led her to meet her husband.Years later, Ashley and her husband faced unexplained infertility. She shares what it was like to go through fertility testing, medication, emotional stress, and eventually become pregnant with twins.Ashley also talks about the practices that changed how she understood her body, thoughts, stress, and fertility. Through yoga, Ayurveda, meditation, Reiki, and trauma-informed work, she began to approach pregnancy in a more conscious and supported way. She later conceived her third child naturally, and those experiences now shape the way she supports women and couples navigating fertility challenges.This episode also looks at the loneliness many people feel while trying to conceive, why support is not always the same as advice, and how simply being listened to can make a real difference.We discuss:Ashley’s childhood in rural CanadaLosing her brother and carrying grief for yearsMoving to New Zealand and beginning againUnexplained infertility and fertility treatmentBecoming pregnant with twinsYoga, Ayurveda, Reiki, and trauma-informed supportConceiving her third child naturallyConscious pregnancy and nervous system supportThe loneliness of fertility strugglesHow friends and family can offer better supportYoga Nidra as a simple reset practiceAbout: Ashley Holmes is a Holistic Fertility Coach and spiritual guide who helps women reconnect with their inner wisdom to naturally conceive and heal.
