Over the years as a natural fertility specialist, I discovered that some of the things in my clinic I was doing over and over and over and over:
- Explaining the fertile window, hormone imbalance,
- Making a timeline with my patients to look for patterns
- Ask my female patients to chart their cycles
- Analyze their charts for fertility hurdles
- Detoxing patients homeopathically from contraceptives, heavy metals, steroids, fertility drugs & more
- Monitoring progress through their charts
I started to feel like it was a waste of the appointment time I had with my patients to keep explaining the same basic fertility issues & give instructions how to chart your cycle. So I wrote a simple email course teaching how to chart your cycle & I started putting some videos on YouTube. Against all expectations, the videos received LOTS of views and before I knew it I had 100 followers, 1000, 5000, 10.000…! Today the channel has over 200.000 subscribers and 15 million+ views. Rewind a little, when I realized so many people were looking for fertility information, I put my email charting course into an online learning platform and gave free access to anyone in the world needing to learn how to find their fertile window. Close to 17.000 women have gone through this course by now!
Meanwhile, as a student homeopath, I had learned that all I had to do was take someone’s case, write down lists of their symptoms, hunt for their unique symptoms, and then match those with a homeopathic remedy. Yes, ONE remedy. Give the remedy, and wait at least a month to see what happens.
In practice though, I quickly discovered that this method is why homoeopathy is often discredited. This method isn’t a bad method, in fact I love it when it works! However, it is outdated and it doesn’t work for people in this day and age.
People that have been exposed to more pollution than ever, depleted nutrient density in food, microplastics that are already found in foetuses, courses of antibiotics, steroids, vaccinations, and are often second or third generation hormonal contraceptives users.
There is a place for synthetic drugs. They save lives. When given at the right time for the right reasons. We should never disregard their side-effects, especially the longer term ones.
Today we men & women have been dragged down so much by toxicity in our lives, that it is no wonder that a) so many of us have trouble conceiving and b) the traditional homeopathic prescription of 1 remedy often just doesn’t do enough if anything at all.
I discovered a modern homeopathic practice of detoxing toxins from my patients. Lifting the load of toxicity alone, often showed to be enough to restore their health and fertility.
Very often, they didn’t even need a tailored homeopathic remedy anymore, perhaps as support, but not to get pregnant & carry full term.
It’s no surprise that I found myself starting with detoxing my couples first over and over again.
I decided to write out the detoxing protocols and send them to my patients as attachments to their fertility assessments & treatment plans so that I didn’t have to explain them to every couple or write them out with every prescription.
The first time I went on maternity leave, I was so frustrated to know I had a long waiting list but couldn’t offer these couples an appointment. For many of the couples that I did have a fertility assessment with I kept hearing myself think: “If only they could do a detox of x..y..z.”
My personal coach at the time said, why don’t you make your protocols available as ebooks on your website while you are on leave? The perfectionist inside of me screamed “no!” because there was so much to add so much to rephrase, tweak. However, that gut wrenching feeling of not being able to help won and so they went up.
The feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Over the years I’ve continued to tweak the protocols with the feedback received and as I saw fit.
In the consultations I had with women, though, I noticed how even if they were diligent about charting, they felt lost about what their charts meant when they weren’t textbook. I thought ok, I’ll start offering chart interpretation sessions. Ha! They were fun, I LOVED them. But I was continually fully-booked. So, as with the detox protocols, I decided to put my knowledge in a course teaching women to interpret their charts themselves. Teach a man to fish and all.
For years I shared my YouTube videos alongside seeing patients, while my charting courses & detox protocols were available for the DIY-ers. While I did link all these resources to each other over time I cam to realise none of them really stood alone and actually worked together. After all, to know which fertility hurdles you’re dealing with, you need to know how to chart your cycle & learn what abnormal patterns mean. To deal with those abnormal patterns you first need to do homeopathic detoxing - if toxicity is applicable - before it even makes sense to start taking huge amounts of supplements or have tailored homeopathic treatment. And to understand if you are making progress at all while you’re still waiting for that positive test, you need to again.. understand your cycle patterns. I came to realise that the charting, chart interpretation & detoxing belong together, in one program. This is how the Fertility Reclaim was born - pun intended😊.
While I am all for a DIY approach to empower you to make your own decisions to reclaim your fertility, I recognize that it is still helpful to have access to support when you need it. That’s why to me it's really important that this program also has a support group where you can ask me questions about your charts & detoxing reactions & your fertility journey in general, as well as connect with others that are in the same boat as you are.
I really enjoy following the progress Reclaimers are making, helping them work out what their fertility hurdles are and helping them make connections between their symptoms and charts. I'd love to connect with you in the TFR community while you work through the program and reclaim your fertility too ❤️
