Gosia from Germany; Multiple Failed IVF’s & Miscarriages
Me and my husband have been trying to have a baby for 7 years, without success. After multiple failed IVF cycles, a few miscarriages we were quite tired and without hope. About that time I read your book, then attended your calls. I loved these calls so much, for the first time somebody approached infertility from such a deeper level. I did imagery…and I loved it… The funny thing is, my relationship with my husband began to improve as well (we were quite on the edge because of our inability to conceive) and generally I started looking at life with new eyes. Then we had what we decided to be our last IVF – and I got pregnant and was able to carry my baby to term. We became parents to our lovely boy. He was waiting for us to heal. And when we had healed, he happily arrived. Isn’t it amazing? …
Thank you Julia for being a catalyst for this journey for me! :-)
Sending you love! :-) Gosia
Agnieszka from Poland; Twins with First IVF
Dear Julia
I’m pregnant!!!!!
Thank you very much for your tools that were so helpful during the whole in vitro process, and are even more useful now, when I need to get ready to face all my beautiful orphans again.
I still would love to join the next European circle and of course will keep you posted.
Thank you soooo much for your work!!!!
And 9 months later came this note:
I just want to let you know that we have two beautiful daughters!…They brought so much light, joy and happiness into our lives. As you can see on the attached photo :)
I just want to thank you for your work and dedication. I am sure that doing the exercises, listening to the meditations, private calls and your books helped me a lot to overcome fears and self-imposed limits on my journey to motherhood.
Julia, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your work changes lives.
With warm huggs from Warsaw

Chantal P., South Africa
I know you see so many people, but still wanted to share our news with you. Brad and I live in South Africa and attended your workshop in June.
It was challenging, informative, restorative and gave us much needed hope. Despite odds against us, we decided to go for a GIFT procedure and fell pregnant with twins. Unfortunately we lost one twin, however we now have a beautiful, healthy, gorgeous 6 week old baby boy.
I really just wanted to thank you for your work which I’m very grateful to have found. Your book, which I have read numerous times, was a faithful read every time I thought we had come to an end.
J. and the Boys
I wanted to forward these sweet photos of me pregnant. It worked. Our first IVF cycle and we’re expecting twins. Thought you should see what all of your efforts go towards—hopefully you can see all the happiness and love in the photos.
We found out they are two boys. I admit I suffered from some “gender disappointment” at first. All that work we did together—all those images—almost always a girl. I was ashamed that I was upset because I knew I should be happy I was pregnant and that they are healthy. And then it came to me—a very strong sensation. To put it into words is difficult, but basically it was a gut feeling that said ‘Oh, wow—this journey isn’t over. She’s still out there.’ Doesn’t mean I’ll do another IVF or get pregnant naturally or even adopt—just means she’s out there—that little girl I’m meant to mother. I trust we’ll meet each other some day—even if in many years from now. Now that I wrote that, I think you would say, that little girl I’m meant to mother is me, and she’ll always be there.
Once I had that realization I was able to welcome the excitement of two little boys. I love that this journey keeps throwing me curve balls—never in a million years did I, the little girl from an all woman family with a lot of resentment towards males, dream that my nuclear family would be a husband and two boys. It’s actually quite thrilling—I’m so lucky that I’ll now get the chance to know and love males in a way always so foreign to me.
Anyway, I really just sat down to write cause I wanted you to know that I think of you often. As I wrote to you earlier, there are aspects of IVF, like seeing and knowing exactly when life ‘begins’: that can be magical.
I continue to use the tools for different reasons now. And, they as always work. I’m so centered and balanced and well—just filled with a peaceful happiness. I hope you and your family are feeling the same. As you said, in vitro can be a road of healing if you make it so. Lots of love.
Amy M., New York City
Whenever I have occasion to explain to a friend who I have not seen in a while (as I did a few nights ago) why I seem so different from the last time she saw me, I have great joy in saying that I finally feel that I am on my “right path” in life. Who knows what path that is or where it will lead? But I can say with complete sincerity that I am genuinely grateful that I did not get pregnant in November, not only because I would never have found this path, but because I would never want now to bring a child into the life that I would have done then. As I write this, it has been a week since my in vitro “transfer” of a beautiful perfect little 8-petaled/celled flower/embryo, whose picture we both gush over. Of course she has an uncertain future—but I wanted to write to you before my pregnancy test because I want to express my gratitude what, whatever happens next, you have taken my hand and helped me climb out of a place of despair and powerlessness that I never have to go back to. Thank you for being such a bright light in the darkness.
Amy is now a mom of a little girl.
Carolina D., Brazil
I participated in your visionary circles last August/September. I am the Brazilian girl… do you remember? It was really magical! After the workshop I became very CONFIDENT in spite of all my past disappointments and failures! Finally in November God blessed me! I made my seventh IVF… but this time it happened! I still do not believe although little Paula was born last week! I look at her and it seems that I am dreaming!
Julia, it is incredible how you can help people being so faraway… you have a veeeeery positive power!
Thank you so much! Obrigada! Bellow your Brazilian friend, P. that will always remember you! ALWAYS!
Denyse K., Brooklyn, NY
I have some news. I am pregnant! It is very new and I alternate between being ecstatic and nervous. We saw and heard the heartbeat today! The doctor said everything is measuring on target and looks great. We did do IVF… but this time it was on my timetable, for reasons and protocol that made sense to me, and not because some doctor said in vitro was my only chance, or out of some sense of frenzied urgency. But I don’t believe the IVF made me pregnant. I know it was this process and working with you and the tools. I can not thank you enough, but I don’t believe the work is finished for me. If I am still welcome at the circles, I will be able to request the day off in advance next time.
Karmen R., London, England
I was diagnosed with endometriosis about two years ago and had laproscopic surgery six months later. I tried to get pregnant for about two years, before and after the surgery, to no avail. I did two IUI’s, which didn’t work and finally decided on my 37th birthday to move on to IVF. My husband and I went to see a high-flying fertility doctor in Manhattan and he gave us a pep talk about IVF, saying that I was an ideal candidate. He did some routine hormone tests and I resigned myself to doing the procedure, though my heart wasn’t in it.
I did a day 3 FSH test on a Sunday and got a call later that day from a nurse. She told me my FSH was 17.8 and that the “cut-off” for IVF was 12 or 14. I looked this up on the web after talking to her, desperate for information, and read numerous reports confirming this. I went into shock. My husband and I spent the day crying, feeling like someone just read us a death sentence. Then at one point I got up off the couch, marched over to the health food store, got myself a huge green juice and made up in my mind that I was going to fight this.
On the way home I passed Barnes and Nobles and floated up to the childbirth section to look for any shred of information on high FSH. Julia Indichova’s book Inconceivable caught my attention and I immediately bought it and brought it home. This was the beginning of a magical process that would change my life and affirm to me the potential of my own power to change and create circumstances in my life, even beyond pregnancy.
I raced through Julia’s excellent book, which was arresting in its honesty, candor and straight-forward telling of her incredible story. The book was full of excellent information, sometimes deceptively simple, but what I now know to have been the key to what later shifted the course of my life. I was extremely impressed with her emphasis on trusting your own resources and treating doctor’s advice as just guidance, and not the word of god.
I immediately logged on to Julia’s website fertileheart.com and found out that she was having one of her workshops the very next day in Manhattan. I cancelled my plans and showed up to a room full of women at all stages of experience—some were pregnant, some had just happily adopted, some were just embarking on the conception route and some had been at it for a while. In the center of this circle was a small, Eastern European magician with a disarming manner and an irreverent mouth that I instantly loved—Julia Indichova. What she taught me that day and in the one-day workshop my husband and I subsequently attended in Woodstock will last me a lifetime. Today I am 20 weeks pregnant with a little boy and girl (twins!).
I did do IVF in the end—after cleaning out my body and doing Julia’s “body talk” and other techniques, I ended up bringing my FSH down to 5.2—a huge drop my doctors in London, my second home, said they had never before seen. With extra phone sessions with Julia, I navigated my way through fertility treatment. Julia is a gem in the world and way ahead of her time. What she has taught me will stay with me long after my children are born.
