Being the great niece of world renowned Professor Joseph Stolkowski, whom I never met, is probably more than an irony. It’s genetics. Or chromosomes, which we are going to discuss here. First of all, I should say that I’ve never read my great uncles’s book Garçon ou fille? le choix par sélection préconceptionnelle. Namely because it …

The Roller Coaster
Who among women and couples who have experienced infertility can forget the monthly cycle of pain? Maybe you have been taking your temperatures orally or vaginally. Maybe you have been timing intercourse to correspond with day 14 of your cycle. Maybe you have spent an entire month (or many months!) on a special diet. Or …
Fertility Drugs
Today I received a call from a very gentle and kind spirit who had some questions about using my practice in conjunction with fertility treatments. She was not the first person to ask me this question. The answer is, sometimes I can work with whatever the fertility clinic is doing, but generally speaking I won’t …

My own health. My own fertility. I, like many of my …
Breastfeeding
Breastfeeding is one of those great things in life that only women can do. Well, I should rephrase that. Men, technically CAN lactate, though I find most are quite resistant to trying. At any rate, it’s an awfully special experience that women don’t usually have enough support for. Wise Women Fertility can provide support in …
Fertility Awareness Method
It seems that whenever people hear about what I do, the first question is always “really?” Yes. Really. I really DO help women to become pregnant, sometimes after years of infertility. Sometimes after unsuccessful in vitro attempts. Sometimes after fertility doctors have told them that they will never become pregnant on “their own.” This is …
