“When I went there (to the workshop) I had been struggling with the possibility of egg donation for 6 years…At the workshop and afterward I found I was reaching a space that finally allowed me see that I had options to create our family. And that I wasn’t less of a mother, woman, person, catholic, or wife for seeking generosity from and egg donor. Along with diet and imagery I really delved deep into the “issues in my tissues” as Julia says. Through imagery, blogs, reading her books, the retreat and conference calls I did that. It was very powerful. I also used the vitamins she recommended which I loved and felt really good using. We are now 4 1/2 months pregnant with two gorgeous beings. I am proud to carry these spirits into this world and look forward to staying true to myself through the process… Thanks Julia for your continued work. I’m so grateful to you I think the work that you do is amazing. It’s so needed in this world and I really, just really appreciate it. I wouldn’t be where I am if people like you didn’t come into my life”
