“I remember saying to Candice, ‘I hope you can help me.’
I had been diagnosed with PCOS and had experienced six failed IUIs and three unsuccessful timed-intercourse cycles. I needed Letrozole each time just to ovulate because I had never ovulated on my own.
After trying to conceive for more than a year and a half, something deep inside told me to try naturally one last time. That’s when I reached out to Candice. After learning about my history, she explained why Mercier Therapy would be the best fit for me, and we worked together for approximately two months.
Near the end of my Mercier sessions, I texted her late one night because I was ovulating naturally for the first time. I was incredibly excited but also worried because it was already cycle day 23. Candice reassured me that later ovulation could still be ovulation, and the excitement we shared in that moment was something I’ll never forget.
I scheduled an IVF consultation as a backup because of everything I had already been through. But to my surprise, I became pregnant from that very first naturally ovulated cycle—and I was able to cancel the IVF appointment.
Today, I’m holding my healthy baby boy. I’m beyond grateful that I trusted my intuition and found Candice.”

“After two unsuccessful IVF attempts, I only wish I had found Candice sooner. The sessions were emotional and deeply relaxing at the same time. It felt as though I could finally release some of the stress I had been carrying and allow myself to receive support. Candice taught me self-care massage so I could continue the work at home. On the morning of my next transfer, I sat in the parking lot of the IVF clinic and practiced the massage she had shown me. It helped me feel grounded, present, and hopeful as I walked inside. That transfer was successful, and I am now holding my baby boy. I plan to return to Candice when we are ready to try again.”

I always knew I wanted to become a mother and planned to begin that journey on my own. Before my first embryo transfer, I had one fertility session with Candice. That transfer, using my own egg, was unsuccessful, and at 47, I was told that donor eggs might be my only option.
Afterward, I knew I wanted to give my body more time and preparation before trying again. I took several months off and completed Candice’s Fertility Intensive. Along with our sessions, I followed the personalized home practices she gave me, including steaming, sound-healing meditations, and other supportive homework.
When I returned to the clinic, they were surprised by how much my fertility markers had improved and asked what I had been doing differently. They told me that my results had improved enough that I could use my own eggs if I wanted to. But deep down, I already felt connected to the frozen embryo created with donor egg and sperm. I knew that was my baby.
I chose to move forward with that embryo, and the transfer was successful. I delivered my healthy baby boy at 48. I am happier than ever and so grateful for the care and preparation I received.

Fertility Intensive for IVF Preparation -
“Candice continued checking in on me long after our in-person sessions were complete—and throughout my entire pregnancy. The level of care she gives is truly one of a kind.
She doesn’t simply tell you what to do. She wants you to understand your body and feel empowered throughout your TTC journey. The at-home care and digital resources included in the Fertility Intensive helped calm my nerves and gave me something practical to return to whenever I felt overwhelmed.
Even after our hands-on work ended, it felt as though Candice was still right there beside me. After my baby arrived, she even came to meet him—and it was as though they shared an immediate connection. Her care never felt limited to a program. I felt genuinely supported from trying to conceive through pregnancy and into motherhood.”
— Zoi, 32
-
“The way Candice teaches ovulation is incredible. She explains it in plain language and then builds upon that education at every session using what you are actually observing at home.
I had never felt so personally cared for. She created a color-coded womb-care calendar just for me, with days for steaming, castor oil packs, sound healing, tapping, LH testing, and rest. By the end, the rhythm of caring for my body felt completely natural.
Now that I’ve welcomed my miracle little boy, I know exactly how to support myself again when my cycle returns.”
— Janice, 38
-
“Working with Candice, I felt genuinely supported. Because she has walked through her own TTC journey, she brings a layer of empathy that made me feel understood and safe. She is incredibly knowledgeable, but she also understands the emotions behind this process. Her compassionate listening helped ease so much of my anxiety—and the bodywork was amazing. I’m currently waiting to test, and I already feel a difference in my body. Thank you, Candice.”
— Shae, 39

“I’m in my 40s and hope to begin trying naturally within the next year, but I also know that fertility-clinic care may eventually become part of my story. Before working with Candice, I felt like I was waiting for someone else to tell me what my body was doing. Now I understand how to recognize ovulation and accurately track my fertile window at home. Whether I conceive naturally or need additional support, I feel informed, confident, and prepared for whatever comes next.”
— Womb Preparation Client, 40+
-
“One of my biggest fears about fertility treatment was missing an important window because I didn’t understand my cycle well enough. Depending on the treatment plan, timing a positive LH test and contacting the clinic can affect whether you move forward that month. I didn’t want confusion about ovulation to contribute to a delayed cycle, added expense, or more emotional stress. Candice helped me understand my fertile signs and LH testing before I was in the middle of a protocol. Knowing that I can accurately track my cycle is now one less thing I have to worry about.”
— Womb Preparation Client
-
“With each cycle, I understood more about ovulation and what my body was communicating. Having monthly practices and someone to review everything with was exactly what I needed. I had already been through fertility-clinic care, but I had never received this level of practical cycle education. Candice explained it so clearly that I actually said, ‘Oh—that’s what that is?’ I couldn’t believe I was 40 years old and had never truly understood when I was ovulating.”
— Womb Preparation Client
-
“I wish we had learned this information in high school. Understanding your cycle is valuable whether you are preparing to conceive or simply want to feel more connected to your body. Candice is a wonderful teacher who makes everything easy to understand. During our time together, I noticed stronger fertile signs and a more regular period. Most importantly, I now feel confident and prepared instead of nervous about actively trying to conceive.”
— Womb Preparation Client
-
“Candice taught me how to care for my womb in a way I had never understood before. She has a gift for taking ancient practices and making them feel simple and approachable for the everyday woman. I now have a personalized schedule showing me when to use castor oil packs, practice self-fertility massage, and yoni steam throughout my cycle. That guidance has been priceless.”
— Womb Preparation Client
The following are direct testimonials from clients in their own words
Client Experiences Shared in Candice’s Words. These stories reflect individual client experiences observed during our work together. Every body and fertility journey is different.
-
One client incorporated both yoni steaming and sound healing into her fertility journey. For years, she had experienced recurrent pregnancy loss and carried the emotional weight that often accompanies a long fertility journey. During her sessions, she frequently shared vivid visualizations and deep experiences that helped her feel connected to the possibility of becoming a mother.
Over time, she said one of the greatest gifts was learning how to care for her womb and understand her cycle in a way that felt empowering. Knowing when to steam, how to support her body, and having healthy outlets for processing emotions helped her feel more confident moving forward after years of uncertainty.
Today, after nearly a decade of fertility challenges and losses, she is holding her beautiful newborn son.
-
One client came to Candice after being told by her fertility clinic that IVF was her only option due to a tipped uterus. After working together through a series of bodywork sessions, the client moved farther away and continued supporting her reproductive wellness at home through a consistent yoni steaming practice.
About a month later, Candice received a text announcing that she was pregnant naturally. Today, she is the mother of three children and has shared how grateful she is that she learned ways to participate actively in her reproductive wellness rather than feeling powerless.
-
One client came to Candice after an unsuccessful embryo transfer. Because she lived in Napa, their work included fertility bodywork and education about safe, appropriately timed yoni steaming she could continue at home.
Over time, steaming became part of her fertility-preparation ritual. Rather than feeling like a passive participant in IVF, she felt connected to her body and empowered in her journey. She understood when to pause during ovarian stimulation, stayed in close communication with Candice, and received bodywork several days before transfer.
She approached the transfer feeling calm, supported, and deeply connected to her body. That transfer was successful. Today, she is the mother of a beautiful toddler and describes that season as one in which she finally felt empowered rather than overwhelmed.
-
Bri came to Candice after months of cycles lasting 45 to 60 days. She had PCOS (PMOS) and had been told she might not ovulate without medication. After a personalized approach involving yoni steaming, food-based hormonal support, womb massage, and emotional tapping, her cycles shortened and she confirmed natural ovulation.
“I feel like my body is finally waking up,” she said.
Pregnancy & Postpartum
Experiences shared directly by clients. Every pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience is unique. These stories reflect individual client experiences observed during our work together.
-
One mother came to Candice years after her cesarean birth with persistent numbness across her lower abdomen and scar area. She had lived with the lack of sensation for so long that she did not expect one postpartum bodywork session to make a meaningful difference.
During her session, they worked gently with her abdomen and the tissues surrounding her fully healed cesarean scar. To her surprise, sensation returned to the area—and she later shared that the numbness had not returned.
-
One pregnant mother arrived with significant sciatic and low-back pain. Her baby and belly were positioned noticeably toward her right side. After therapeutic work through her glutes and hips followed by gentle pregnancy-appropriate abdominal work, her belly appeared more centered and less heavily pulled toward one side. More importantly, she experienced substantial relief from the discomfort that had brought her in.
-
During the early months of pregnancy, one client was experiencing so much bladder pressure that she needed to use the restroom approximately every 15 minutes—even during her massage. After gentle abdominal work intended to help her growing belly feel more centered and supported, the constant sensation of needing to urinate eased, giving her greater comfort as her pregnancy continued.
-
“Every session with Candice feels personalized to what I need that day. She always checks in about how my body is feeling—sometimes I need to vent for a little while before I can fully relax, and other times, especially since having a newborn, she can tell I’m exhausted and just need to completely zone out.
I appreciate how naturally she follows what my body is asking for. She also seems to know exactly where I’m holding tension, even when I forget to mention it before the massage. Candice truly cares, and you can feel that in every part of her work.”

Digital Resources
-
“This tracker helped me confirm ovulation on Day 25—something I never learned at the fertility clinic.”
— Sacred Feminine Wellness Client
-
“This knowledge put the power back in my hands—not in the clinic’s calendar.”
-
“I would have completely missed my peak…”
-
“I released tears I didn’t even know I was holding, and Candice’s compassionate care was undeniable. She teaches ovulation in such plain, approachable language that it finally made sense to me.
While we were working together, I had lab work done and felt devastated when I saw how high my estrogen was. My OB/GYN later confirmed that I had ovarian cysts. The patterns I recorded in Candice’s fertility workbook helped me recognize that something needed a closer look and gave me the information to advocate for myself.
Seeing my numbers come down afterward felt incredibly encouraging. For the first time, I could see and understand what was happening in my body.”
— Erica, 42
What Readers Are Saying about the CD3 Workbook Tracker
-
“Most doctors and practitioners focus on getting you to ovulation—and then you’re left to navigate the hardest part on your own. Sacred Feminine Wellness gave me the tools and emotional support I needed during the Two Week Wait, a time when everyone else seemed to disappear. It made all the difference.”
— K.L.
-
“I felt so alone during the two-week wait. My friends didn’t really understand, and I didn’t want to burden my partner with everything I was feeling. This workbook felt like having someone gently hold my hand through the ups and downs. It reminded me to breathe, reconnect with myself, and not feel so isolated during the wait.”
— J., TTC solo
-
“My doctor explained ovulation perfectly, but no one prepared me for the emotional crash afterward. The two-week wait felt endless and honestly unbearable. This workbook became the support I didn’t know I needed. The grounding exercises gave me something to focus on besides fear, and the daily pages helped me stay connected to my body instead of panicking.”
— Elena, 34
-
“My doctor told me exactly when to try…and then it was basically, ‘good luck.’ No one prepared me for how intense the two-week wait would be—the spiraling, the overthinking, the constant symptom spotting. This workbook finally gave me something to do during that time. The grounding practices helped me calm my anxiety and feel more in control instead of losing my mind.”
— M., TTC after IUI
-
“At 40, every two-week wait felt heavier and scarier. This workbook helped me breathe again. The calming practices and mindful pages gave me something steady to return to each day, instead of spiraling. It made the wait feel softer, more grounded, and more hopeful.”
— N., 40
-
“I used to spiral during the two-week wait—Googling every sensation until 2 a.m. This workbook gave me structure and emotional support each day. I felt calmer, more centered, and far less anxious. When test day came, I felt emotionally prepared no matter the outcome.”
— T., 36
-
“I didn’t realize how much the two-week wait was affecting my nervous system until I started using this workbook. The gentle reminders and daily pages helped me stay present instead of overwhelmed. Instead of Googling every twinge, I finally felt grounded, supported, and connected to my body again.”
— L., TTC one year
-
“I didn’t realize how much the anxiety of the Two Week Wait was affecting me until I tried this script. Tapping each day gave me a way to release the worry and actually feel connected to my body again. It was such a relief to have something positive to focus on instead of just waiting.”
— Emily R.
