about us

It is never easy to traverse the ins and outs of a health crisis. Fertility challenges are indeed health crises and the journey through them is a difficult one!

The Center for Conceiving Health was conceived because when I was experiencing my own fertility crisis I could not believe the emotional pain that I went through and how little was available to address that piece of my journey.

Also, I felt completely trapped by the limitations of my choices. While the medical world was offering many potential treatments, and I appreciated their commitment to the science of the issue, that didn’t feel like healing to me. I wanted to heal whatever the underlying issue was. I wanted to balance my system so that it worked the way nature intended it to.

I found that in order to achieve that goal I needed support on many levels and in a variety of ways. In addition, my research led me toward a number of tools that were proven to improve health and pregnancy success and increase natural fertility. Indeed I did put those together and ultimately succeeded in my dream of pregnancy and a baby. I am grateful beyond measure each day when I look in Chelsea’s eyes and feel that deep connection and love. But, it seemed that there had to be a better way than expecting each of the nearly ten million of us going through this each year having to reinvent the wheel as it were: needing to put together all the pieces of the puzzle ourselves, over and over and over!

So, the Center for Conceiving Health was finally born in January of 2005 to provide the following features to our population, at least in the South Central Wisconsin area:

  • Options for coping during the journey
  • The opportunity to be with others who understand and are traveling a similar path
  • Tools for improving health, fertility and well being
  • Yoga for Fertility – with other class members experiencing what you are!
  • Heightened success rates with all interventions
  • Reduction of stress symptoms and the indications of depression and anxiety
  • Solid reasons for Hope again, and a promise that you will have YOU back
  • Scientific research about what modalities and treatment work, why and how they work and where to get the best ones in this area, if they aren’t something we yet offer right at the Center
  • “No Brainer” nutrition information to give you specific information to incorporate, practice and follow while you are on this path and beyond
  • Time, understanding and supportive, listening ears for every issue that presents itself along the way.
  • Pro-active, sensitive feedback from people who have walked the same dark, lonely path and found their way through!

And more!!
