FOR PROFESSIONALS: Core Isolation in Prenates, Babies, Children & Adults

How In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) Affects Babies and Children
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) children are some of the most wanted children on the planet. Anyone who has gone through IVF to have a child is a courageous and determined person.

In my work with IVF families, I attempt to bring the sacred and the practical back together, providing a balanced, integrated approach.
