We were convinced by your approach and we both took the treatment very seriously. We liked your friendly and enthusiastic attitude about what you were doing and your confidence that you could help us. I stopped taking the pill, joined a gym and lost some weight and we cut out spicy foods, dairy and wheat and increased our fruit and vegetable intake. We felt much healthier as a result and I saw improvements in my temperature chart as the weeks went by.

Not trying for a baby for the first three months of treatment on the programme was difficult, but we understood that you needed some time to get my cycles right and fix up my husband's sperm which was at 97% abnormal (we tested it again at the end of the three months and it had gone down to a normal 60%). Although at the time we were frustrated and felt as if we were wasting three months, it was great advice. We saw the benefits almost immediately and this spurred us into carrying on. We felt really different and the concept of being healthy in order to make a healthy baby made sense. In the overall scheme of things, three months is not that long and it gave us a chance to get back to being a couple again.

Having Chinese herbs to quell the nausea during my pregnancy was brilliant, and cost effective, as it meant that I didn't need to come and see you every week, and you even managed to help me when my hair started to fall out after I had my daughter. It was reassuring having you around. We always knew that you were there to support and guide us. It gave us confidence and we felt secure in the knowledge that you were only a phone call away.
