Read what a couple of recent clients said about working with RVT Fertility:
"RVT Fertility was a constant source of hope and support. She consistently brought kindness, empathy, and a deep understanding of the ups and downs of fertility treatment. This made her the perfect guide to help me navigate the emotional and spiritual challenges I faced. On days when I was afraid I couldn't do it, or that nothing would ever work, she was there for me. She gave me the encouragement I needed to stay the course and continue with my treatment. RVT’s unique blend of spiritual wisdom, genuine empathy, and personal experience has made her an invaluable ally during these challenging times. I couldn't have done it without her!" -Sia
“When we met with RVT, we were prospective first time parents struggling with infertility. We were having some success with creating embryos, but were having serious difficulty communicating with our physician and the fertility practice. We felt like we were at a breaking point after a series of very difficult interactions where we felt judged and powerless in the process. RVT’s support was a breath of fresh air; we finally felt heard and cared for, and she helped us think through strategies to improve communication, advocate for ourselves, and process our feelings so that we could stay focused on our goals and our relationship.” -Anonymous
