ONLINE FERTILITY WELLNESS PROGRAMME OF THE YEAR IN THE ASIA-PACIFIC

BENATURAL
BeNatural is the creator of a Singapore-based online Fertility Wellness programme that combines yoga , nutrition , and mindfulness with a clinically tested approach to preconception planning . Over a 30 day period , you will learn how to build a lifestyle that supports your fertility journey not only physically but emotionally too .
Since 2017 , BeNatural has been educating couples on how to improve their ‘ fertility potential ’ and have ‘ better babies ’ through its fertility wellness workshops and preconception care programmes . BeNatural believes that you can make a positive difference to the health of your child by learning its holistic approach to self-care and making the lifestyle changes recommended in its programme .
Its programme has been adapted to the busy lifestyle of the 21st century couple and is a combination of online video-based learning , virtual yoga and mindfulness sessions , step-by-step fertility nutrition plans and one-onone coaching and counselling calls with a senior fertility nurse .
Besides creating the foundations for a healthy conception and pregnancy , your own physical and emotional health will improve , and your environment will benefit too . BeNatural believes that as preconception care becomes more widely practised the health and quality of life of future generations will experience a quantum leap .

Why is preconception care important ? While a woman is born with all her eggs , it is the first 100 days during the maturation process of the oocyte ( immature egg ) that has a significant impact on the success of conception and the health of the foetus and baby .
Its fertility team is a mix of medical and holistic practitioners and includes a fertility nurse , yoga teacher , and a 3rd generation Ayurvedic master physician . Together , they have created a programme where you will be diagnosed and prescribed a nutritional plan and a set of fertility yoga exercises which is personalised to your body type . Each day you will receive a 30 minute fertility yoga video which you can practise in the comfort of your own living room . You will also receive a fertility- boosting menu plan for the day with easy-to-follow recipes . In the evening , you can wind down with a short audio that helps you relax and visualise positive outcomes for your fertility journey .
The programme also has a daily journaling software that allows you to record your physical and emotional parameters which will be tracked by the fertility team at BeNatural to help you stay on track . On weekends , you can attend live webinars from doctors and wellness practitioners , and participate in live Q & A that is helpful for your fertility journey .
After completing the programme , you will have all the tools and practices to prepare your mind and body for a healthy conception , pregnancy and a ‘ better baby ’. “ We know that raising absolutely healthy children is hard work . Raising children with allergies , learning problems and disabilities is harder work still . Creating their future is in your hands . Our sincere hope is that you will take the opportunity to give them something priceless – a sound body , and a sound mind ,” said the company .
