Infertility Support Testimonials

Angie and I had been trying to get pregnant for a long time and were unsuccessful. I started speaking at length with Kristin about our infertility issues. From day one of our conversations, Kristin gave us information, support and love the whole way through all of our phases of "making our family." She recommended that we seek an infertility specialist to find out if and what the issues might be. After each appointment, we would update her and she graciously listened and gave us additional guidance that even our doctor hadn't mentioned during our appointments with him. After going through various tests and even having a surgery to repair and correct some issues, our doctor told us that the surgery was a success. However, even though our success ratio of getting pregnant on any given month had doubled, it was still on the low side.

After explaining all of this to Kristin, we weighed all kinds of options, everything from sperm donor, intrauterine insemination, in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and adoption. She informed us with all kinds of information that we found quite helpful. Going through this process was quite exhausting. It was difficult to try every month and have it continually be a let down, plus the toll it took on us as a couple when we found out again and again that we were not pregnant.

Angie and I finally opted to go through the adoption process instead of seeking medical intervention. We spoke with Kristin about this and she made all kinds of wonderful recommendations and gave us an unbelievable amount of support.

In the end, we adopted a wonderful baby boy from The Gambia and know what a wonderful blessing he is to our family. The roads we traveled were very long, windy, bumpy and extremely hazardous. However, having Kristin along on the journey was a true blessing. She made every moment a lot easier with her wit, kindness and sincerity. We would highly recommend her to anyone. She is very compassionate and caring, which is what is needed during these types of experiences. She's a blessing and we couldn't say enough wonderful things about her.

Child Food Allergy Support Testimonials

Kristin was a godsend to me when my grandson was diagnosed with a milk protein allergy at 2 months of age. He was even allergic to my daughter's breast milk! Because Kristin's son had the same milk allergy, as well as other food allergies, she had already done tons of research on the subject and was very willing to share that wealth of information with me. I have contacted Kristin frequently during these last three years with questions regarding food and milk allergies, and she has always had numerous suggestions, hints and ideas that have been so helpful. I am sure that I will continue to tap into her skills as he grows.

We were brand new parents whose daughter scream-cried A LOT! The only time that she wasn't crying, was when she was breastfeeding.

The doctors really couldn't tell us anything - maybe it's colic, maybe reflux, maybe a dairy allergy. A dairy allergy?! We can't do anything about the colic, reflux we got a prescription for, but what are we supposed to do about a dairy allergy?

That's where Kristin came in! She had all the answers and provided us with so much information. Her help turned what could have been a horrible experience, for parents who enjoy their pizza and dessert, into something that we could totally work with.

Kristin provided us with a suggested shopping list of dairy foods and their non-dairy equivalents, along with door-to-door directions to two grocery stores that carried the items on our list. She also gave us recommendations for what we could eat at nearby restaurants, and even a long list of recipes.

What a relief! We stayed true to Kristin's plan and it resulted in a much happier baby - which equals less stress and MORE SLEEP! Thank you for everything!

Stress Management Testimonials

I have worked with Kristin for many years and have been extremely satisfied with what she has done for me and my business. With her organizational skills and professional approach, she helped to grow my small business, all while keeping my eye on what needs to be done today and in the future. Starting a small business can be very stressful. With Kristin's ability to ask the right questions, she was able to pull me back and look at the big picture, avoiding the pitfalls of trying to do too many things at once or getting caught up in the tiny details. I've been impressed with her compassion for working with others and her passion for what she does. It is apparent she truly enjoys it, and it is what will keep me as a client.

Kristin was a great asset in helping us start up our first business. The bank had asked us for so much information that it soon became very overwhelming. She helped keep us grounded and on track to meet our personal goal of owning our own business. Kristin created an impressive business plan based on the information we provided to her. The bank did not request any additional information from us once they were presented with the business plan. We received a "yes" for the business within two weeks and were ready to close within one month. This was our dream come true, and we owe so much to Kristin for her great work. The bank even complimented us on this being one of the quickest closings they ever experienced for a business purchase. Thank you so much.
