Testimonials
Breath of Success
Lauren, I just wanted to thank you so much for your program. The timing came perfectly as I embarked on my first round of IVF. I found all of the weekly sessions very helpful, especially the sessions on diet, exercise and stress management. Last nights final session was especially helpful, as I’m currently in the waiting period until next week and aware that I need to prepare for another potential disappointment (although I’m still hoping for good news!) The meditations and breathing exercises kept me calm during the whole process - there were several nights I was having trouble falling asleep or up at 3am worrying and it was your guided meditations that put me back to sleep. I practice the breathing exercises all the time when I feel myself getting stressed at work. Going into IVF, I didn’t know what to expect. I was extremely thrilled when I learned they retrieved 12 eggs, 10 of which were mature. Ultimately 6 of those 10 made it to 5 day blastocyst embryos, which means I have 5 to freeze for future tries and/or baby #2. I truly do not believe I would have had those types of results if I hadn’t had your program.
A Blessing
Dear Lauren,
What a blessing this incredible 6 week series was for me and will be for all women who are in the delicate and deep process of trying to conceive! Thank you so much for offering such a beautiful and well thought out way for me to travel through the process with profound consciousness and loving-kindness. I really appreciate your personal stories and all the sage research you've done as well as very specific and tangible steps you provide to dance intimately with this often frustrating and ultimately beautiful fertility journey. I believe this series helped to ground and focus my energy in a new and sacred way so that Jim and I could eventually conceive. As you know, we are expecting a little girl in August! Wahe!
With Love.
Victorious
Lauren, the first time I reached out to you was in 2016, after my first IVF resulted in a disastrous failure. You took the time to talk to me. I joined your 6 week course and benefited immensely from the daily affirmations and positive visualizations. Since the first attempt, I moved on to another clinic and took some time to focus on myself before we attempted another round of IVF. Second time with a different protocol and a more confident me. We welcomed our beautiful baby boy in the fall of 2017, exactly one year after taking your course. He will be 7 months old this week. We named him Jai, meaning victorious, which we found to be very apt for him.
I’ve been meaning to share this news with you for a while. Thank you for being you and helping me realize my dream. You are an amazing person. Much love and gratitude.
Eternally Grateful
I just wanted to let you know how grateful I am to you for the wonderful work you've done with the Sacred Fertility Teleconference, and how much it, along with the the private sessions, helped me through this last hurdle of IVF/FET emotionally, physically, and spiritually. It was incredibly grounding and at the same time uplifting, exciting and calming, and so informative in ways to create a most fertile condition. Today, the nausea has dissipated enough to be able to take time to share with you that, after two years of trying with IVF, there is a confirmed heartbeat!
Cherishing My Body
I just wanted to share the news that last Thursday March 1st, my husband and I welcomed a little girl to the world! We thought we were having a boy the whole pregnancy! Charlotte Kaye Joella is sweet as can be and wants to say thank you to you both for helping Mom get through pregnancy and labor. The teacher training at sonic was the best thing I did to help myself get through and to cherish my body in the process. Mantra, pranayama, Asana and essential oils all helped me get through 26+ hours in labor and 3 hours of pushing. She’s such a miracle and can’t we can’t wait to visit at Sonic once she is big enough!
