The Process is as follows:

1. An appointment is made for an initial (telephone) consultation.
   
   
2. A self-administered Mind/Body Attitudinal and Lifestyle Profile is mailed or given to you.
   
   
3. The Profile is then returned to our office along with family photos. (The photos will be returned to you by Priority Mail.)
   
   
4. During the (telephone) consultation we review the family photos and begin mapping your family history.
   
   
5. During the follow-up counseling appointments we continue exploring and resolving current and past issues around fertility and conception.

Ephistogram: Drawing Your Family Tree. The ephistogram is an emotional and physical family health history that helps you recognize the powerful influence of family behavior patterns and belief systems that tend to be repeated from generation to generation.

Biofeedback: Monitors states of tension or relaxation by providing moment-to-moment feedback on the interaction between emotions and bodily processes. Every feeling, no matter how vague or subtle, gets registered in our mind-body.

Photoanalysis: What Are Your Family Photos Telling You? Learning how to "read" family photographs as "mirrors with memories" deepens our understanding about significant family patterns and values and how they affect our lives.
