SUCCESS STORIES

Amber

"I am so blessed to have worked with Irena, who helped me regulate my erratic menstrual health and ultimately conceive my son.

With her encouraging and supportive attitude, she helped me to understand the root of my fertility struggles, gave me tons of practical advice, and empowered me with so much knowledge that I could not have found elsewhere.

Not only does she have incredible expertise around everything women's health it seems, but she also understands the emotional toll that a fertility journey can take.

I am filled with so much gratitude for Irena and her guidance which has played a significant role in achieving my dream of motherhood."

Lauren

"Irena is fantastic to work with! Her passion for natural fertility and woman's health is unparalleled and you will leave every consultation session feeling good about who you are and more excited about the future. I actually feel quite emotional writing it because Irena have truly helped me so much 💗

She shifted my perspective on how I can use my feminine cycles to harness my creativity, how to incorporate rest and nourishment, and how to deeply heal and connect with my true nature, in a compassionate way at all stages of my cycle.

After I started working with Irena my cycles and hormones became so balanced that I actually enjoy all aspects of being a woman again.

I've always felt in every consultation session working with Irena that she deeply cares about me and she tailors her service to me in a way that in so transformative. She takes the time to truly understand what is happening for me and validates my experience which is also healing in itself”

Karina

“I am working with Irena for a few months now and I’ve seen her passion for helping woman from the very first session. Her talent is in searching deep and finding solutions that bring more than tangible results. She leads me to trust in my body abilities. She has all the answers I need and also empowering words that help me to be strong and independent on this uncertain journey.
We have long and deep conversations if I need them and let me tell you, Irena is the most beautiful soul that I've ever seen! She got the talent to empower everyone that needs it! I highly recommend getting in touch with this super understanding woman! She is the proof that most angels are women!”

Claire

“Irena is very passionate about well-being and empowering women to help themselves with her enthusiasm and supportiveness.
I have worked with Irena for some months now. I was interested in her Chinese medicine background and she has helped me to establish an optimal cycle using understand how to live with the cycle. She is a very kind, happy, positive and knowledgeable lady who has helped me or should I say remind me how important it is to look after yourself. Happy me, happy family, happy life”

Kellie

“After suffering from complex women’s health issues for over 22 years, having countless surgeries and a more recent diagnosis of fibromyalgia, I decided that I had to change my whole approach.

I can honestly say, that working with Irena is the best thing that I have done. Irena has listened to me attentively and shown extreme passion to want to help me improve my health and live a happier life. In as little as 6 weeks, she has achieved so much and already made an incredible impact on both my physical and mental health. My menstrual pain has reduced significantly, my mental clarity and outlook are improving and a lot of that is not only down to the changes we implemented themselves but also the time I spend with Irena. She is caring and considerate, I feel at ease talking to her about such private, emotional matters and she responds in such a supportive way. I am so very grateful to have met Irena, her knowledge of women's health is incredible as well as her thorough holistic approach and techniques.

Thank you Irena, I've not only found a fantastic therapist but also a wonderful, kind friend”

This Blog is written in defence of women and because I've had enough

At the age of 35+, we are often sent directly into pharmacological solutions without any advice about remedies to get pregnant naturally. Far too often, we are deprived of what is left of our dignity after being given a diagnosis based on our high/low BMI and "advanced maternal age".

We have been manoeuvred into guilt about our choices. We are told or made to feel like we have left trying for a baby too late. So, is trying for a baby as simple as making or not making that choice?

My journey to becoming a mother was long, challenging and lonely. I speak with many women and know that my story is no exception.

It went like this

Until I was 36 years old, I did everything to NOT have a baby....

Do you feel bombarded with advice on what fertility foods are?

Well, you probably are.

The sheer amount of information on what is good or bad for us we are constantly subjected to is too much, and it only gets amplified when trying to conceive.

Is nutrition fundamental to our optimal health and most useful in improving fertility? Yes, it is! And yes, there is science to it but, same as the superfoods concept was blown out of all proportion, so is the overwhelming amount of often contradictory advice on fertility nutrition.

Having been through the journey myself, I totally understand that is gets too much and I am determined to deliver a helpful antidote.

Before I become an acupuncturist, or a mother, I was a passionate foodie who started cooking with my grandma from a very young age. Cooking is what I do best and looking at all the research on fertility nutrition and filtering it through a Chinese Medicine eye is easy for me.

That’s why my blog has a dedicated Recipes section, with each recipe assigned to a specific part of the menstrual cycle, and why my recipes are affordable, fast and full of tips for batch cooking and good use of leftovers.

Dive in and enjoy!
