Hi! I am finally getting back to social media. I

Hi! I am finally getting back to social media. I thought about not posting this and jumping back to “business as usual” here, but I have to be honest...after all I am the Fertile Truth : )This past year has been difficult and overwhelming for many of my patients, and at times, even for me. Navigating how to keep patients and myself safe while continuing to deliver exceptional service was a challenge, yet one I fully accepted. Early on, many of my patients were right in the middle of IVF cycles and canceling these or their treatments was not an option. The physical and emotional distress was heartbreaking to see. In order to more fully serve patients, I implemented complete fertility and wellness plans that have transformed so many of my patients’ lives. It has been inspiring to see people making positive changes in their nutrition and lifestyle in addition to their commitment to regular acupuncture sessions. What that meant for me though was that although I continued helping to make babies, all of a sudden at the beginning of this year I felt DRAINED and exhausted. Apparently, the stress of keeping it all together took its toll on me. Go figure, I guess I really am human;). So, I needed to conserve my own Qi and take a break from things I absolutely didn’t need to do….sorry, Instagram:( So I logged out for a bit.
I breathed.
I disconnected.This allowed more SPACE. Space for self care, space to spend quality time with my husband. More space to connect with loved ones, and of course, many beach walks with my beloved, Keiko. So, here I am. Energized and back, ready to serve all of you again. How are you doing this year? Tell me, what have you been doing for self care?

There are too many struggles you can encounter if you’re having trouble conceiving.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What support do you need right now? Are you feeling overwhelmed or hopeless or fearful?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Trying to figure out which direction you should take? Confused about IVF or natural conception options?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Though I can’t give you advice if you’re not my patient, let me know your thoughts and I’ll see if I can point you in the right direction. 💕

I choose to release the negativity of 2020. Anyone else with me?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Many of the marketing emails I’ve received over the past week have been focused on how difficult the past year has been. Of course, it has been difficult. We all know it, as we’ve all experienced it in some way or another. So why do we need to keep talking about it?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To continue to talk about it means we are focusing on the past. And focusing on the past means we aren’t moving forward.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I choose to remember the past as a means of improving the things that need changing but mostly choose to stay focused on the present and future to avoid getting stuck.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I choose to release the negative language of things like “2020 sucked” or “2020 was horrible” and instead choose to use new language. David Bowie said, “I don’t know where I’m going from here, but I promise it won’t be boring.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve always looked at the future as exciting even if it is unknown and wish for you to do the same.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don’t let the fear of the past determine where you’re going.❤️

Trying to be perfect in an imperfect world is a he

Trying to be perfect in an imperfect world is a heavy load to carry.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Many of my patients are perfectionists (I suppose I’m attracting them because I’m one myself!).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But we sure do cause ourselves a lot of suffering trying to do things perfectly. I sometimes won’t do things at all because it’s not perfect (like posting on IG more!).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So move imperfectly toward your goal of better health, weight loss or a fertile state. How?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Make the call to get help.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don’t attend the baby shower if it pains you too much.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Buy that new Spring outfit even if you could be pregnant then.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Treat yourself to a glass of wine or dessert today and do it guilt-free. Just don’t make the same choice tomorrow.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In other words, don’t put your life on hold or deprive yourself too much. This will only make you feel worse.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And move forward SOMEHOW otherwise you're just standing still, and standing still isn't going to get you closer to anything. And if you end up on the wrong path don't worry, you can always change direction.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Anyone else struggle with perfectionist paralysis give me a 🙌 and then promise to change 😀
