"I was put in touch with an incredible woman, Niravi Payne, who I spoke to twice a week. She's a therapist who specializes in fertility issues and is author of a remarkable book, The Whole Person Fertility Program. She believes many fertility problems can be traced back to experiences in the womb and in childhood, which have blocked you. Until these experiences are released or acknowledged you may not be able to conceive. One of my sisters is physically and mentally handicapped, and I realized that I was holding on to a lot of fear about that - it was something my mother and I didn't talk about. Niravi was brilliant when I was going through the intensely medical procedures over which I was starting to get very upset. I don't think I could have gone through it emotionally without her support. I was able to release a huge amount of stuff I'd been holding onto all my life without releasing it. While our talks were traumatic for me, they also made me much more calm. Yes, I did have Flo's wonderful support, but I needed somebody who knew what I was going though and who also knew, ahead of me, the emotional hurdles I would have to overcome. Counseling is not just needed during IVF treatment, but afterwards. I knew that if it didn't work this time, I would desperately need Niravi to help me accept it and to move on or try again."   -Alex Kingston British Actress, ER Marie Claire Magazine, UK, March, 2001 "Working with Niravi helps to put fertility-related issues in the context of past and present experiences. Life's experiences are not compartmentalized, but intimately related to each other and thus also to fertility. One becomes more conscious of the unconscious processes and beliefs that are at work to prevent pregnancy. In the male dominated world of gynecology/obstetrics it is comforting to be heard and understood by a woman."   -Barbara Moser-Mercer Professor, University of Geneva, Switzerland "Niravi enables me to reach my subconscious mind which has been heavily guarded andgo beyond into the forest of knowledge that lies within but sometimes needs a light to shine. Niravi is that light. Her work empowers me and enables me to be who I really am!"   -Yvonne Ann Coburn, Sydney Australia "Niravi Payne changed our lives. During our work with her, we birthed two beautiful babies and deepened the bond in our relationship. She is a dedicated warrior and a brilliant pioneer in the field of infertility."   -Musician Kenny Loggins and wife Julia, authors of The Unimaginable Life   "After numerous difficulties in recent years, I came across the work of Christiane Northrup. I wrote to her and she recommended your book, offering to send me a copy if I had problems getting it in the United Kingdom. I ordered it from a US shop via the Internet and began working with it in late June. I am now pregnant. I had done a great deal of ground work, and already make frequent use of visualization, writing and art to deal with my spiritual and health problems. I was already doing much of what you suggest but your book certainly helped me by giving my problems a social and historical context. I have already started writing to womens' magazines here, telling them about your book. Can you do whatever is in your power to have this book published in the UK? It is so important and I feel sure it could help thousands of people to look at their problems in a new way and find peace, whatever lies ahead for them."   -Marianne Carey, United Kingdom
