As an enthusiastic student of psychology, my fascination for the brain and the human mind goes back 20 years and it’s been my life passion. 
My interest in fertility began in 2013 when I found myself struggling to get pregnant. At 32 years of age, my doctor suggested I go through IVF with a chance of success as low as 9%.

One day a friend of mine, a very smart and progressive psychotherapist, suggested I try hypnotherapy and visualization. I remember thinking, “Are you serious? How could that possibly help me?” Curiosity piqued and armed with little more than an open mind, I went along to see what it was all about. After all, what did I have to lose?

I remember the session quite clearly. I laid down in a couch, closed my eyes and decided I would just ‘go with the flow’. My therapist explained to me that I was always in control and aware of what was happening. He spoke to me in a calm and gently voice which made me feel peaceful, safe and relaxed. If I have to summarize what we did in the session I would say that “we worked together to give my story a new meaning”. I remember visualizing that beautiful, absolutely perfect egg traveling to my womb, I saw my body preparing for pregnancy and finally myself coming back from the hospital with my baby in my arms and all my family and friends waiting for us to celebrate and life appeared quite wonderful. After the session, all I can say is that, I just felt different, like something inside of me had shifted. 

​

A few sessions followed during the treatment. The numbers were not on my side, but I went through every step of the procedure with unshakable confidence and peace of mind that I was doing everything in my power to make it happen. I was blessed with a beautiful healthy boy from the first round and 2 years later I welcomed a gorgeous healthy girl. My personal fertility journey is “the exception that proves the rule” they said, but I believe that those sessions made a huge difference setting me up for success and that everyone out there can be the exception as well.

I went on to learn as much as I could about fertility. I worked in a fertility clinic spending hours observing and studying. Then I trained in RTT under the expert guidance of world renowned therapist Marisa Peer. It was the best professional (and in so many ways personal) decision I’ve ever made. I was one of the first in Washington State to become certified as an RTT Practitioner and here I am today. I do what I love and I love what I do.
