I’ve been living, breathing, researching fertility since that fateful phone call in April of 1992 that pronounced me hopelessly infertile. So with the New Year, as various publications are naming their choices of the best and brightest in the field of reproductive health. I thought this would be a fine time for Fertile Heart to [...]

"I want to thank you, Julia, for sharing your story through your incredible book, the phone circles and for hosting these powerful workshops. I truly hope that my story can reach someone who is about to give up and inspire them to not give up, trust your heart and try to open your heart to the possibility of your dream -it can happen. I am grateful every day to you, Julia, and all the people in my life who have played a role in helping me keep my faith and belief. My dream came true and my beautiful boy landed from his bubble in the universe at a time when he was ready." —Debbie A, Boston, MA
"Two years ago today I took Julia’s workshop through the Learning Annex. It was Saint Patrick;s day and my friend Alice and I went. We sat in the first row and I was so moved and inspired by Julia and her experience that I decided to join her Fertile Heart Circle Meetings in New York city. I now have a son Alejandro who is 2 months old today. I know my meeting Julia and her work was a huge contribution to my getting pregnant naturally at age 43 and giving birth 3 days before my 44th birthday. I strongly encourage anyone interested in getting pregnant or “giving birth” to whatever that may be to take Julia’s workshop. I am forwarding Julia’s information to the women in my life." —Kathy I., New Jersey

They are smaller and firmer and maintain there shape. You should experiment with different types of lentils. The cooking method is the same, except the [...]
You can really clean house with this soup. Almost anything goes. As with the other vegetable only soups, onions are the most important ingredient. I’ve found that since I started adding potatoes my girls are much happier. It makes them not notice the kale, chard and other good stuff. I have to agree. I staggered [...]
This one is a variation on the vegetable soup except it’s a little more like a potato stew. I wanted to make my usual recipe however I was short on onions. Now after I have told you how important onions are I suppose I should have put my shoes on and went running to the [...]
