Fertile Ground Testimonials

The dream to become a mother is incredibly powerful and when one adds infertility into the equation it becomes one of the hardest things a person may pursue in their lifetime. In my life and career i am a person who had always relied on Western medicine as my basis for healing. I was not aware or sure of the Eastern medicine tools to healing and infertility. Through my journey to become a mother I met with Kara for acupuncture. The treatments as well as her advice on health, nutrition, and well-being helped me to be more relaxed, more forgiving, and more compassionate during a very trying time. I am pleased to admit that the acupuncture and the words of wisdom that I received from Kara did indeed help me then as well as now in my new life as a mother of a 10 month old. Kara —-thank you for being there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My husband was diagnosed with low sperm motility and low fertilization rates. I had a luteal phase defect and we had been trying to get pregnant for over three years. Before starting treatment with Kara we had done a few cycles with Clomid, gotten pregnant, but had an early miscarriage. After working with Kara for six months and my husband for three months we got pregnant. I was of course nervous, but the pregnancy went well and I now we have a healthy one year old daughter. Thank you Kara!

Before working with Kara, I had been through a lot of testing, doctors and no explanation as to why I couldn’t get pregnant. Kara helped me to get into a more balanced state and to listen to my body and its needs. I now have beautiful twin boys and I have Kara to thank for them!

I was having painful periods, with back aches and extreme tiredness.  I thought possibly I was peri-menopausal.  Hoping to have a third child and -at the least- not wanting to feel so awful every month, I started seeing Kara.  
Kara is amazing through in her assessments.  She takes her time and really listens, and she remembers who you are and what is going on with you.
I have been to many “alternative” healers and I was very impressed with Kara.
Kara not only helped me with my period pain but, in three months I was pregnant.
I continued to see Kara off and on through-out my pregnancy, and give her credit for helping me to shake a nasty cold I got in my 2nd trimester.
I had an easy, natural, drug-free birth.
Kara came to see me after the baby was born providing acupuncture and talking with me at length about my birth experience, helping me to process it.
I plan to continue seeing Kara and cannot recommend her highly enough.

Thanks for everything - you truly helped put me at ease with the embryo transfer, and I believe you helped the little guy decide to implant and stay around.

I think that Kara had a huge impact on everything working this time. I so enjoyed
my sessions with her and she kept me so relaxed and positive. She is truly an amazing person and I’m not sure if the IVF would have worked if she would not have
been part of the picture.

After several months of anxiety-inducing experiences with Western medicine, a friend recommended Kara and I decided to give alternative fertility treatments a try. Kara’s approach helped my body to find the balance it needed to achieve a healthy pregnancy. Her treatments then helped to minimize negative symptoms during my first trimester. After many unsuccessful months of trying to get pregnant, I believe that her way of working with my body’s natural rhythms, rather than intervening in them, as well as her holistic view of my history and health, was what made the difference for us.
