“This workshop was the best investment I made for myself during my infertility process. The support I received and the tools I learned completely changed the way I approached my 2nd IVF cycle. I was a totally different person the 2nd time around and now I’m pregnant! I am so grateful for the tools I learned from Paula, I feel calmer, happier and more prepared than ever for motherhood.”
—MELINA C., REDONDO BEACH

"I started working with Paula after our first failed IVF cycle. My spirits were so low at that point I had really lost hope. From the moment I first spoke with her I felt lighter. Her empathy and understanding helped me tremendously through those first few weeks. But the real beauty came out of the deeper work we did together. The tools that she taught me made it possible to face the challenges of our infertility with less fear and sadness, something that carried over into the rest of my life as well. It has paid off in so many ways. We were blessed to finally conceive, and I feel so much more emotionally prepared as I move through this pregnancy. Whenever fears arise, and they still do, I implement something that Paula taught me - what a wonderful gift."

"The Fertility Within MindBodyWellness course was the best thing I could have ever done during this infertility journey. After 7 weeks, I had many great tools to cope with my stress and anxiety that had gotten way out of control. I noticed a significant decrease in my anxiety and more confidence with myself immediately after practicing the skills Paula taught us. Paula is a angel I'm sure of it!"
—DENISE S., MANHATTAN BEACH

"I highly recommend this program to every woman experiencing a fertility challenge. It is so easy to lose hope and give in to fear, anger and pain but, once you learn how to restructure your thoughts and your attitude, reality follows. Really! Paula has been instrumental by giving me the tools to conquer my self-doubt and overwhelming fear. It is an ongoing battle but, because I choose to fight the fear and the pain, I am better equipped to handle what comes my what. I would never have been able to get this far without the tools I learned from Paula."
—SUSAN K., LOS ANGELES

"After years of aggressive treatments and almost unbearable disappointment, I signed up for Paula’s class. I learned an enormous amount from the curriculum and from watching Paula who always stayed calm and grounded. I learned to breathe deeper, stay present, and remain connected to my body. On our first IVF after completing the course, we successfully conceived. We are overjoyed and deeply grateful. Miracles do happen!"
—GINA L., SANTA MONICA

"Working with Paula Dowd really helped me incorporate new coping skills in my daily activities. She helped me decrease my levels of stress, anxiety and anger and also offered me a support network from others going through the same extremely emotional experience. I wish I knew about this program before I started fertility treatments. I was so distraught and scared from the very beginning. Almost immediately after working with the tools I learned, I noticed a shift in me and my thought patters. I hope that all your patients can maximize the results of traditional medical treatments, by incorporating your course into their treatment of infertility."
—SONYA D., Hermosa Beach

"I feel so much better now thanks to your advice and the technics you shared. I have acquired lifelong tools to reduce stress and anxiety, and to be a stronger wife and professional women and Mum when the time will be. Your background as a former corporate exec who also experienced fertility issues and then turned around her career to help other women has been so inspiring to me. Thank you again for everything."
—HELEN W., REDONDO BEACH

"I want to thank you for everything you did for us and helping us along this journey. You have no idea how grateful I am for all you have done :). I passed your name onto my friend and told her you were the best and really did help me through so much. We are going to try again for baby number 2, I'll keep you updated. I may need your services soon again! Thank you Paula!"
—CINDY, HERMOSA BEACH

"Thank you for sharing your purpose and path so authentically with me Paula. I can really see my desire to connect with other dynamic women that are not just friends but women that can help me in my growth. Yet another reason why I am glad our paths crossed! I absolutely love being a mommy! It was sooo worth everything we had to go through to get here. In our sessions, I told you I was going to focus on joining a mommy and me class and trying to build friendships with other women. I have done that and it is going great!"
—JESSICA, LONG BEACH

"I never knew how much I was going to grow from this experience. The way that my infertility journey, with all its pain, was an opportunity for me to grow. I’m so grateful. I feel so much more whole now. I’m not sure I truly was prepared for motherhood, but I know I am now. Paula introduced me to new ways of seeing my life, who I am and how to relate and react to the different things that come my way. I can’t believe I’m saying this but I’m grateful for my infertility journey – it has taught me more than I’ll ever know."
—KATHERINE, SANTA MONICA

"I am so grateful for this course.  I really don’t think we could have made it through this whole process without the amazing tools we learned and Paula’s empathetic ear.  There are no words that accurately express how I feel, thank you, thank you, thank you."
