...BOTH of our children (even though I only participated one time)!

We had unexplained infertility - probably due to our age. At the time I took the class (3 years ago), I was 38 years old, had tried for 2 years to get pregnant and had done IVF 2 times - once resulting in a pregnancy which ended in a miscarriage in the twelfth week. I was extremely stressed out and anxious, feeling very isolated and angry. The first night I attended the Wellness Group, I realized that I was not alone - that other women shared my pain and truly understood what I was going through. That, in and of itself, would have been enough for me but I got so much more out of the class.

The relaxation techniques helped me tremendously and I'm convinced that the tapes are what helped me to get pregnant, sustain my pregnancies and deliver two health children two years apart. (During my IVF cycle even with my second child, I used the tapes to "relax" every day - at least once and sometimes twice).

When I didn't use the tape during a frozen embryo cycle which we tried before our second successful IVF, I didn't get pregnant. I will never know if I could have gotten pregnant had I done some relaxation techniques each day but I did wonder.

I have recommended this class to several of my friends who have fertility issues because I believe with all my heart that it absolutely worked for me. I will always be grateful to you and to the course for being there and helping me (along with Dr. Schenk) to achieve my lifelong dream of having two children.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Sincerely,
Laurie

Even though our class has ended, I continue to reap many rewards.

I learned quite a bit about infertility-related stress and different coping mechanisms. More importantly, I learned about my own nature and predispositions. I'm able to apply those insights to my struggle with infertility as well as all the other challenges life provides. The class helped me learn to recognize and manage stress much more effectively. Another huge reward was the guidance and support of wonderful women who have become important friends. Thanks so much for all you've done!

 

My wife took the class, several months later, we were blessed to conceive our wonderful son.

We will never know the true reason for our miracle conception. However, I do know that my wife's life was changed by your program. She has a much enhanced mindfulness of the present and her role in it. She is better at dealing with adversity. In all, I believe her happiness was enhanced by your program. Good luck with your new one.

Thank you very much for your support in our pursuit of building a family.

Of our Mind Body Wellness group 9 of the 10 women got pregnant. And we are all still close friends today. And instead of going to Mind/Body Wellness every week we meet at the park for play group.

I'm a firm advocate of your Mind/Body Wellness program and think it should be part of everyones pursuit to building a family. The best lesson I learned and live everyday is that Today is a Present. To breath and live life today. Don't arrange your life around the baby. Buy clothes today and you'll get pregnant. So live for TODAY!
