An introductory class focused on increasing fertility and overall level of health through natural, life-enhancing treatment options.

The most important question to ask ourselves, is not: “What are my chances of conceiving?” The question that makes a lot more sense is: “Do I feel a longing for a child and am I willing to follow it?”

For those of us who are facing a health challenge the question might be: “Can I trust that my body is not my enemy, but a friend trying to flag me down before I run full speed into a brick wall?”

This is an evolving workshop based on processes Julia used to overcome her own difficulty to conceive twelve years ago, as well as on her ongoing work with individuals, couples and groups in the last ten years.

Some of the issues addressed are:

- How do we separate ourselves from the collective hysteria of “the last good egg” and honor our own rhythm of healing?

- What is the true meaning of “holistic” in our approach to health challenges?

- How do we create hands-on-tools (Food, Imagery, Dream-Reading, Body Talk) that come from within rather than from an outside authority?

- How do we choose treatments that resonate with us?

- How do we let go of the destructive effect of statistics and other people’s ideas of what is or is not possible for us?

- What nutritional and lifestyle adjustments will enhance conception and overall well being?

- How do we tilt the scale in favor of a healthy birth when using Assisted Reproductive Technology?

Dear Julia, I hope you remember me. My husband and I flew to your workshop from Chicago, in spring of 2002. At that time we had one miscarriage and went on to have 2 more. After the 2nd one, my dr. did agree to test my tissues, etc. and found that it had been a healthy baby girl. I only knew about the 3rd pregnancy for a week or so and it was very early. After all of my reading and your support among many others, I did relate with stories of women with anti phospholipide antibodies. Basically with this condition, blood clots and cuts off the nutrients to the baby. I had to fight to be diagnosed with this. The perinatologist said it was rare and did not believe I had it. He finally agreed to blood test and had me retested indicating the 1st was an error. I finally received that call saying I had this diagnosis.

We are due 3/28 with a baby boy and I have been on injections of blood thinner for the entire pregnancy. Thank you so much for your class, the support, and most of all the encouragement to listen to my body. Although my "cure" was medical, I'm sure I would have gone through many more miscarriages and may have likely given up at the hope of a family. We even had decided to postpone trying and in the meantime were given this wonderful surprise, completely unplanned. Your book and workshop helped bring me there.

God Bless. You are a wonderful person providing what is most needed out there. You support those in despair and teach people hope. I really don't think that we would be having this family had I not read your book, met you, and took your class. I sincerely cannot thank you enough!!!

I wanted to write and briefly tell my story. All my life, I longed to have a baby. I got married at age 39, and wondered if I was "too old" to make my dream a reality. I was elated when I conceived naturally after six months of trying. Unfortunately, I miscarried in my fifth week. We began trying again, only to conceive again six months later, and again, miscarry in the fifth week. I was devastated. I was now over forty years old, and all the books and articles that I read did not have an optimistic tone at all. It was terribly discouraging. It was then that I heard about Julia and her work, and was intrigued.

Julia held a talk in a local library, and I attended. I thought it was most empowering, and I began to really explore some of my feelings on the subject more deeply, doing research, and I began to employ many of her concepts and really take them to heart into my daily life. I also attended a workshop. she gave at the time in NY, through the Learning Annex. Well, exactly six months later, I conceived yet again, at age 41-- only, this time, the outcome was far different! I enjoyed a perfect pregnancy, and gave birth to a healthy and beautiful little girl named Carina in August of '04. Julia's work is phenomenal! And so are the things that happen when you individualize her ideas and teachings. So to all you women out there: KEEP THE FAITH!! It will happen!

Dear Julia, . I just wanted to give you an update and to take the opportunity to say a million thanks to you for all the support and the blessings you have brought into my life. I am in my 18th week and beginning to feel the baby moving. The results of the amnio came back normal. I think of you everyday, especially when doing my imagery exercises. I remember reading your book and going to the workshop that same weekend. That was two years ago. I don't think I could've ever made it to this point without your support and compassion. I am very, very grateful!!!

I am pregnant! Today will be 23 weeks and we already know we're having a girl. I want you to know that I firmly believe that your book, your group and especially meditation CD were of great help to me. It was the belief that somehow it would happen, that there was a baby for me if I tried hard enough, if I believed, if I listened. Like you, Julia, I had tried everything, and with a very high FSH and age (40) was discouraged by my RE. In fact, he didn't want to do another round of IVF after the first failed so miserably. He was even more stunned than I when my 2nd IVF actually worked. He said, "I think we got your last egg." Maybe that's true, but somehow I think there were other things besides science at work in my case.

Mostly, I want to thank you, Julia, for the work you're doing. I got so much hope from the support group, hope that kept me believing, kept me moving forward, and especially kept me positive. I feel extremely fortunate, but knew that no matter how it happened, I was going to be a mom, and you were there to remind us of that when nobody else could.

I wanted to thank you for your inspiring book and wonderful seminar. I attended the August 4th workshop. I sat immediately to your left on that hot summer day. During that day I felt my fears of miscarriage and pregnancy start to fade. I went home, did the imagery and listened to my body. Little did I know that around the time of the workshop I ovulated and conceived. I am happy to announce that we are now 13 weeks pregnant!

Physically, I believe that acupuncture helped to heal my weakened kidney energy after kidney cancer. Emotionally, I believe that your imagery tapes and workshop helped me to break through the walls I had built. Thank you again for your uplifting support. With love and thanks

The title of Inconceivable hit home as I tried everything else. So I bought the book and followed the recommendations as best as I could. I also attended Julia's workshop and joined her support group.. I loved coming to group, me and the other women always talked about how we wished we could meet every week, instead of every other week. Around five months after I started attending the group, I did an insemination, went to the doctor (who originally felt my chances of getting pregnant were slim to none) and found out I was already 8 weeks pregnant! (What I thought was my period the month before was apparently blood from the embryo attaching to my uterine lining.) My doctor, who still couldn't believe it, recalled all my bloodwork from the month to retest, called me in for a sonogram the next day and, lo and behold, found an embryo with a beating heart.

This doctor (one of the most respected in the business) said he'd never seen anything happen like this. I'm 42, have had 5 miscarriages and, as I've said, had a pathetic prognosis. The doctor said he'd be talking about my situation in his lectures and writings and he'd be sure not to mention my name. I recently received my amnio results and everything was normal!

It was at my insistence that I made an appointment for a consultation with Julia Indichova. At the doorstep of turning forty, and feeling the as though I was looking to make some peace with my desire for a child and years of struggling with infertility- I met with Julia. It was an emotional session. I left there feeling an ache in my heart combined with the pain of being at the juncture of possibly living my life childless in my decision that I knew I wasn't going to do any more "conventional fertility treatments." But that was why I went to see Julia, I read her book, Inconceivable, and was inspired by her story of defying all the odds stacked against her. As a result of my consultation, I had many questions posed to me and had some 'soul searching ' to do regarding the fact that I was uncertain if a child was really what I even wanted yet juxtaposed with the fact that I was still on the path of trying for ten years and looking to explore alternative methods.

The next step was to do Julia's weekend workshop. This is where the substance of her work comes through- in a room with her, receiving passionate intent, emotional support, honesty, and safety to explore and express your own personal story. I attended this workshop as my last effort to support my body in the effort to conceive a child, and to my surprise, I was pregnant when I was sitting in that group and didn't even know it. The most powerful pieces of Julia's work that I feel made an impact on me is the idea of creating receptivity in the body, being your own expert, and doing the body talk. Julia has developed an empowering regimen of personal care that takes serious discipline and commitment but that I believe creates positive results for those who dedicate themselves to the journey- body, mind and spirit. Thank you Julia for helping me to close the door to my fears and ambivalence so I could embrace the true voice of my body more clearly.
