One Miscarriage, No Children, Doctor of Oriental Medicine Helping Women with Hopi Wilder - S7 E28
Manage episode 430608347 series 2498151
I was happily going through life devoted to my career as a healer and
massage therapist. I then went back to school in my mid-thirties to get
my Masters in Oriental Medicine. Suddenly I started feeling the clock
ticking, even though I was extremely busy and did not have a partner
at the time. I had always been hesitant to bring a child into this world,
but did not want to miss out.
Five years later, I did end up getting married and carried a baby into
the end of the first trimester before I had a miscarriage. I was 42
years old. It was then that I learned for the first time that
miscarriages, especially in the first trimester, are extremely common. I
connected with many women who suffer this trauma silently.
Never-the-less, I was devasted. I started studying everything I could
about infertility and how to fix it. That is when I discovered the work of
Weston Price, a dentist in the 1930s. His ancestral, nutrient dense diet
was an integral part of cultivating a new, more wholistic approach to
how I view fertility and women’s health.
I ended up leaving my first marriage a year after my miscarriage. I
remarried and my second husband and I tried for a while. I was fully
into peri-menopause by my mid forties and I knew my body did not
want to have a child. We participated in two adoption trainings,
including Foster Care. In the end we chose a different path and we
both really enjoy being the “fun aunt and uncle” to our nieces and
nephews. It takes a village.
I consider every illness or seeming mishap as an opportunity to study,
learn and then serve my patients from a heart centered perspective. I
really enjoy teaching about how to prepare your body for pregnancy as
a process similar to building the soil in the garden. Natural fertility
treatments are slower, yet much better for a woman’s body and for the
baby’s health. Seeing the babies I helped bring into the world at a
super market or farmer’s market is a really joyful reward.
I am a Doctor of Oriental Medicine practicing acupuncture and herbal
medicine in Reno, Nevada. I practiced massage for 15 years and
acupuncture for the last fourteen years. I specialize in relieving chronic pain,
optimizing hormones and digestion and women’s health. I enjoy doing
patient education and teach classes on qi gong, acupressure and nutrition.
