Client testimonial
Sometimes things don’t happen the way we want them to. Sometimes it happens to our friends and we feel bad and devastated wishing we could help. When one of my dearest friends got pregnant I was the first one to know and was filled with so much joy for her. Just few weeks later, I was also the first one she let know about her miscarriage..
I felt so bad for her, I felt her pain, I supported her through it. But I also knew I could help. So I did what I knew the best and we started to work together.
Today I want to share her feedback. I’ve been waiting for this feedback for quite a long time, but I gave her the time she needed to reflect and make sure she was ready to share.
Due to the hard hardships of fertility journey she chose to stay anonymous and I respect her choice.
I feel absolutely thrilled and happy that I was able to help one of my best friends. This is a reminder of how grateful I am for the work I do as a Holistic Nutritionist.
This is my ‘why’.
‘When I got into my 30s I wasn’t in any rush, considering my biological clock. I was convinced that I could have babies as many as I want ,whenever I want.
When we started trying to conceive, on the very first month, I got pregnant. But, unfortunately, few weeks later it turned up to be chemical pregnancy and I miscarried. I didn’t consider it then as a red flag yet. We continued trying but nothing was happening. Month after month the same result- No pregnancy. I scheduled an appointment to my doctor, who asked me to run some blood test. The results came - my FSH was high which could indicate diminished ovarian reserve.
I was devastated!
I searched through the internet for studies and for any piece of information that can explain me why, and more so, to help me to get pregnant regardless to me condition.
Keren offered me her help. Her natural approach got my attention, and the fact that she believes that many (not all) of our physiological and psychological conditions are the result of our way of living and how we treat our body. I was thirsty and desperate to hear more, about how I can help my body to get better, and to do what It naturally designed to do, before I turn to conventional medicine
We started a process .
First, she walked me through all my everyday habits that might effect my fertility and my overall well-being. Things that I didn’t even thought could be related. She explained patiently, and answered all of my questions. And made me understand that it’s not a journey that starts and ends when I achieve my goal but THE WAY of LIVING. She was available for me during the day, and to all questions that arose during the process. She made me understand why we are doing that, instead of what I used to do.
Eventually I understood that everything I do is linked.
She found creative alternatives to the obstacles that might affect the process (like me being vegan, me working crazy shifts- night shifts and etc.)
During the process with Keren I submitted to the environmental pressure and went to see a fertility doctor who immediately rushed me into starting a hormonal intervention due to my age (34) so we won’t lose any precious time.
I started doing hormonal injections and IUI along with the process with Keren. Who supported me the whole time and reminded me that it takes time.
But nothing happened. No pregnancy.
I went through hormonal injections and 3 IUI. Without the result I hoped to get. Then the doctor said that at this time, after 3 IUI’s that didn’t succeed, we need to go for IVF. I scheduled an appointment to the IVF doctor. The appointment was one and a half months away. I was waiting patiently, only proceeding with what I have started with Keren.
During this time, I was ovulating, and when the period was late, I made a home pregnancy test and it was positive!! First time in 1.5 years!
Today I’m 8 months pregnant and so so grateful that I said yes to working with Keren and she helped me to teach myself healthier habits.
It did become my way of living and helped me eventually to get better as a woman, to get pregnant naturally and have healthier pregnancy for me and for my baby.’
