About the Series....

"Karin's program is truly healing. After years of struggling through infertility it was so comforting and empowering to find a group of women that could relate to what I was going through. Through the program, I regained my confidence and true friendships were formed. I know that the experience greatly contributed to my ability to conceive shortly after our weekly meetings concluded. Much love & thanks to Karin and the wonderful women who shared...and continue to share this journey with me!" ~ Kristi S.

"The Center for Conceiving Health is support/friendship/information/guidance. It is that hand that you need when you are in pain to help you to heal." ~Ere A.

"I used to think my body was a machine that was supposed to do what I wanted when I wanted. When it didnt, I felt angry and depressed. I felt like no one around me could really understand what I was going through. But because of Karin and the Center, I listen to my body more. I care for it, nurture it, respect it, and love it. What a gift that has been!"

Yoga really helped my journey!

"I feel so lucky to have discovered CCH! I had nothing in my life to help me deal with the emotions going through infertility. I met Karin and Julie and they were a god send. I love Yoga and plan to continue it throughout my pregnancy- That's right I'm now pregnant! YAHOO!

I have met such great people and learned so much from everyone in class! I can't say enough!"


~Jenny L.

"Yoga has really helped me with relaxing and feeling physically and emotionally healthier. I also met some amazing women who will forever be in my heart."

Please cover more on the Nutrition and fertility connection...

"Although the material was presented clearly and with ample examples, I am personally interested in knowing the hows and whys of the nutrition and fertility connection if that info. is available." Sammy L.

Note from Karin: This is very interesting to me because this is the second time in one week that this issue has been presented to me, once at a talk and now in an evaluation! There is no one great source for this subject, but I will offer a couple that you could put together to fit for you...The Garden of Fertility, by Katie Singer is a great resource, The Infertility Cure is great information about Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture for Fertility and includes great nutritional suggestions though Randine Lewis primarily recommends macrobiotic diet and vegetarian diet, and then there is the cute and somewhat helpful Infertility Diet by Fern Reiss. I say somewhat because it is a bit repetative and again is a one size fits all approach. Two other books I recommend are Eat Right for Your Type and Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon. That ought to keep your desire for information sated for a while!! Don't read and research INSTEAD of sleeping, eating well or nurturing yourself though, okay! Love, Karin

Another person shares her gratitude for the Relationships built out of this Experience!

"I was able to share my experiences, pain and grief with other women going through the same thing. Though we were so different from each other on the surface, this underlying bond helped us create a safe, caring and supportive environment." ~Sammy L.

What about the cost? (Asked on the Evaluation)

~Extremely fair! It is so hard to put a value on finances with infertility! The process is so expensive, so I can imagine that the upfront cost would turn some away, but I would love to change their mind! I would tell them how worth it this is!!
-Kimberly B.

~Yes it is fair. How can you place a value on health and wholeness? Sammy L.

~To me, your program was worth a million dollars! I wish I could have found you years ago, before spending thousands of dollars on fertility treaments and counseling...but mostly you could have saved me the years of pain and suffering...That you cannot put a price tag on.

Once people realize the strength and value of your program, you could charge a LOT more!!

I feel like I will be forever indebted to you.

One woman's comments...

~I felt listened to, understood and heard during the series, even when I didn't say anything!

~The individual sessions for the series so far were helpful and pertinent: I got so much from our one-on-one time.

~Even though doing meditation is very new for me, I felt comfortable.

~I feel so good about the relationships I have made with the women in the group. It is so much more than I even hoped for!

Thank you! Thank you! What a healing, amazing, empowering experience this has been for me!

Thank you for putting your heart and soul into this program!

"The series was truly amazing and life changing!!"

Karin,

I don't know where or how to begin to thank you for making your program possible for me. It brings me to tears to think about how I used to feel about myself, life and my future before you. I came to you as a beaten-down soul...as much as I tried to live and love life, deep down I was so hurt!

I never, ever thought it would be possible, after all I had gone through, to ever feel "whole" again, or at peace with life, or myself.

Each Tuesday was "huge" for me: such an eye-opener & gift, as I unraveled my life, my thinking, my feelings - addressing things that really surprised me, things that were buried so deep down. And each nite, you helped me see the meaning and the power I had to heal. You did it so lovingly and supportively.

I really feel you are my angel Karin, as corny as that sounds. I have peace now!! I feel whole again!! And, whatever my future brings, I will be okay and forever pull from this experience to get me through.

I cannot put into words how life changing this has been for me, or how grateful I will always be.

I wish your program for every woman on earth.

I love you dearly,
-Kathy C.
