I came off the pill in 2012 and my period never returned. I was diagnosed with Hypothalamic Amenorrhea. This was incredibly stressful as over the following 3 years I got married and my husband and I desperately wanted to start a family. After trying IVF unsuccessfully, I decided that getting my natural cycle back was the best solution. QTP taught me about using the moon cycle in place of my absent menstrual cycle, and all the things I should be doing during the different phases. This included nutrients, supplements, exercise, even how I should be feeling and socializing during each phase. It also reminded me how to relax and treat myself with food I would normally restrict. On Christmas Day 2015 there was a full moon, and I didn’t realize at the time but I must have ovulated (for the first time) because two weeks later I found out I was pregnant. I’m so grateful to QTP, with their help I was able to start our family, I couldn’t be happier!

I had been on birth control for a decade and was very attached to its convenience. QTP helped me to recognize how this was affecting my general well being and after much thought, I decided to try her recommendation of coming off birth control. I initially was critical and saw this as a trial period where eventually I might reintroduce birth control back into my life. After three months of the diet, exercise, and vitamins/supplements chosen for me by Kara of QTP during our session, my whole perspective has changed; it’s like I had always been in a fog. I am healthier mentally, physically, and emotionally and the change has done wonders for my work & personal life. I could never see myself going back on birth control because I would never want to sacrifice the way my body and mind feels today.

For my entire adult life I have been experiencing a hormonal imbalance that has caused irregular periods, ovarian cysts, ridiculous mood swings and PMS symptoms that usually last 2-3 weeks out of every month. In other words, I was used to feeling normal about one week out of each month. In the past, birth control just made things worse for me so I began working with QTP, who gave me the knowledge and tools to make simple lifestyle tweaks to get my hormones on track. I really appreciated the knowledge and enthusiasm to answer all of my questions, and to calm my concerns. After just three months of working together, we were able to reduce and regulate the length of my cycle. However, the most life-changing part was that I recently went an entire cycle with no PMS symptoms at all!

Approximately 15 months after coming off the pill, I started working with Kara of QTP as unfortunately my periods hadn’t returned and I had polycystic ovaries. I’d experienced amenorrhea / absent periods before so I wasn’t overly concerned to start with – however 15 months in I was feeling worried about whether I’d be able to conceive or not, and really frustrated too. I thought I was doing all the right things. While I was certainly on the right track, Kara explained what was likely going on and introduced me to some additional tools that gave my body the support it needed. Having someone to talk with that knew what they were talking about was amazing. I felt so supported and left each session feeling really clear on the simple diet and lifestyle tweaks to implement as well as why they were of benefit. The best news: the week of our last session together, my period returned! I had a smile from ear to ear while dancing around the bathroom. I’m still smiling actually. Words honestly can’t describe how grateful I am for the guidance and support during a really concerning time.

I came to QTP to help me normalize my hormones after many years on the pill. My biggest concerns were breakouts, PMS, and long periods (7-8 days). Kara got a good sense of what my problems were in our initial meeting; she listened to all of my concerns and was easy to talk to, even about issues that are pretty personal. I was impressed with the depth of her knowledge, particularly relating to the relationship between diet and hormone balance. She gave me great recommendations for foods to add to my diet to improve my health, along with some supplements that I know have helped me both with these issues and with some digestives struggles I’ve had as well. I can safely say that I haven’t had PMS in months, my period is a much more manageable (and normal!) 4 days, and my breakouts have reduced.
