Kelli and Justin's HypnoFertility and Hypnobirthing Testimonial


I have been humbled greatly to walk alongside Kelli and Justin through their experiences with infertility, the joys of becoming pregnant after our work through HypnoFertility together, and again through HypnoBirthing classes prior to the birth of their baby. Here is their gracious feedback of their experiences with both HypnoFertility and HypnoBirthing:

Carol,
I can't begin to thank you enough for all that you have done for Justin and I over the course of the past couple of years.  We couldn't stop talking about how wonderful you are and what a calming force you are in our lives on the car ride home from the last class the other night.  We felt a little bit like birds that did not want to leave the nest yet though because we have enjoyed so much our Tuesdays with you and how we feel such a sense of peace, relief, and excitement for our coming baby after every class.  We simply can't even think of our road to parenthood without thinking of you and what an integral piece you have been to the puzzle.  It is amazing to think we are on the brink of bringing this baby into the world when just last year I felt deflated by sadness, fear, and disappointment from our fertility journey.  You really helped me stay on the road of positivity and hope and this little guy/gal in me is the evidence of that.  We both feel so educated, empowered, and centered by the HypnoBirthing course and feel that we are going to bring this baby into the world in such a blessed and more special way than we ever could have imagined.  Justin and I both laugh that you are the new "What Would Jesus Do?" instead it is "What Would Carol Say?"  Whenever we are faced with negativity or challenges, I feel like you are that little voice in our heads helping us through, pointing us in the right direction, or whispering words of positivity.  You truly have an amazing talent and are an absolute gift to all the women out there needing fertility support and all those couples out there interested in trying things "a different way."  I can't promise that you won't hear from me again... I am sure I will be dialing you up to cry it out about something, fear release something, or just get your advice about something.  Thank you, thank you, thank you and please know how much you mean to us! -Kelli, Justin, and Baby

Kelli's HypnoFertility journey

Kelli shares her experience with HypnoFertility:

My experience with Carol was really life changing, not only for our fertility struggles and journey to have a baby, but also in how I now handle stress, challenges, and struggles in my life as a whole. I came to Carol following a year-long struggle with “unexplained infertility.” Following a miscarriage, I found myself seeking anything that would help our journey both medically and emotionally. After seeing her card in Dr. Biter’s office, I excitedly made my first appointment.

This appointment and the many that followed were the best “therapy” sessions I could have ever asked for! Through discussing our journey, ups/downs, emotions, and thoughts, Carol was able to be the caring, nonjudgmental, supportive listening ear that I desperately needed. Her expertise and the Hypnofertility practice were vital tools in redirecting my thinking from the befallen and negative to hopeful, optimistic, and driven to continue on our journey. I endearingly started to refer to Carol as my “fertility therapist” because I really felt that she truly was the one inspiring me emotionally and mentally in order to get me through this journey that can seem so impossible.

Throughout the year I spent with Carol there were other hardships. Painful treatments, another miscarriage, and many personal struggles that I thought were going to be too hard to overcome. I crumbled in her office following my second miscarriage feeling so weak and disheartened. However, I was able to pour my heart out to Carol in such a safe, nurturing environment and she was able to listen and affirm my emotions, yet give me the strength and reassurance that I would get past this and I would eventually have the baby that I so badly wanted. Every time I left a session with Carol, I felt renewed, centered, and with the skills I needed to overcome the emotional/mental challenges that the “infertility game” involves. She was able to target the fears, negativity, and insecurities that I was carrying with me and through the hypnosis work, we were able to work through these together and overcome their effect on my body and mind.

I was amazed that when we finally had to resort to IVF that I had a strength and optimism that would have seemed unfathomable to me a year before. My “head was in the game” and I knew that this was just another step in our story. I felt so strong when I told Carol in one session that, “I know I can do this. I know if this doesn’t work that I can do it again. I know I am going to keep doing this till we get our baby.” It was such a change from the crying and weak version of myself that sobbed that, “I can’t do this anymore” just a year before.

Although millions of women struggle with fertility issues, there is an overwhelming feeling of isolation, loneliness, and insecurity that we all struggle with. Carol truly made me feel that I wasn’t alone out there, that there was hope in my journey, and that I could find strength in the confidence that I would one day have my miracle baby. I couldn’t’ wait to let her know in October when we found out that our dreams came true and that our baby would finally join our lives in June! I cannot say enough about Carol and Hypnofertility… I tell anyone and everyone about my time spent with her. I trust her so deeply and I look forward to her now leading us through our wonderful birth experience through Hypnobirthing.

A HypnoFertility success story

Here is Sarah's HypnoFertility testimonial:

After delivering our first child nine weeks prematurely, followed by a miscarriage and then difficulty in conceiving again, my doctor recommended that I see Carol Yeh-Garner. She helped me see past my anxiety about having another premature baby, my grief over the miscarriage and my doubts about being able to conceive again. My sessions with Carol gave me an optimism and sense of well-being that I just didn't have before. I believe Carol played a big role in my getting pregnant with our second child by addressing and clearing away all of my negative subconscious worries.

Thanks, Sarah, for sharing your experience!
