While recovering from the accident, I started acupuncture treatments, to help with my recovery. The effect this treatment had on my recovery was astonishing. I went from being completely immobilized to moving again. I was so incredibly grateful and amazed at how effective the treatment was, I decided this was something I had to study and learn. After I qualified as a fully-fledged acupuncturist, one of my first clients was a lady trying to get pregnant for several years without any success. She had become quite frustrated and disillusioned from years of failed attempts. This was my first major challenge! Working from a place of honesty and focus, we succeeded in getting her pregnant only a few months later. Through the success of this case, and the interest I found in the area of fertility, it became an area of focus and research for me. Also, during this time, my sister had been diagnosed with cancer. To add this heartbreaking news, she had lived with the knowledge that she could not have children due to a back condition that was diagnosed when she was only sixteen years old.
