“When I began working with Carista by telephone, I often forgot that she was over 3,000 miles away in her office. I instantly felt safe with her, and she seemed to understand my fears about revealing myself to a total stranger. Yet, within the first hour, supported by her sensitive style of communicating, I realized I had to make some significant changes in my lifestyle if any baby was going to grow in my womb. I wished I had worked with Carista before I spent the tens of thousands of dollars in assisted reproductive technologies. I attribute my healthy children to her wise and compassionate preconception and prenatal education.”
