"I started to see Siljoy after many failed infertility interventions that included two miscarriages.  I felt as if I had lost myself.  The worst part for me was a sense of loneliness.  I didn't feel as if I had any support or anyone to talk to.  Siljoy provided me with a nonjudgmental, sympathetic outlet for all the baggage that I was carrying around each day.  I would feel lighter after each session.  I wasn't alone in this experience anymore! 

I would recommend Siljoy to anyone experiencing infertility.  She brings experience and expertise to her practice that is hard to find."

“I did not realize it at the moment, but making that initial appointment was a major turning point in my life.”...I immediately felt a calmness and self-assuredness about her, allowing me to relax a bit.

I was able to unburden some of the pain and hopelessness that was absorbing my spirit to someone who could intimately understand what I was going through; although my husband was saddened by the outcome of the recent failed IVF treatment, he was not suffering the same kind of deep-rooted grief that I was experiencing at the loss of biological motherhood.

Her capacity for being with me in the moment, and her acceptance of me as the person that I am, with both strengths and challenges, has allowed me to begin to live in the present, while striving to attain my goals.

As my relationship with Siljoy has continued to grow, shift, and evolve over the past several years, my appreciation for her as a mentor has deepened.  The qualities that I admire and appreciate in her are ones that I am learning to develop within myself.”

”A little over a year ago, I found Siljoy in my search for help with the emotional pain I was suffering about my childless status. With Siljoy’s nurturing guidance and extraordinary insight, I embarked on a profound and transforming journey of inner healing that has led me to an appreciation of my authentic self. I am now able to view my childlessness with new eyes, and I continue the process of becoming whole with each new day.

 Siljoy’s holistic method is a refreshing change from traditional “therapy.” Her inherent wisdom, use of both Eastern and Western techniques, and practical, effective tools all work together to support a healthy approach to managing life’s problems and finding balance. Our sessions are conducted by phone, yet I always feel her presence as if she were right there in the room with me. In some of my most painful moments, I could feel her gentle arms holding me. And in my joyful moments, I could feel her celebrating with me.

Siljoy is truly a gifted healer and a compassionate soul, and I will be forever grateful for the difference she has made in my life.”

 "I found Siljoy while searching on the web for others struggling with childlessness. A woman recommended Siljoy. I contacted her after realizing how stuck in this pain I really was. The pain was so deep and vast, it colored everything I did and felt. I felt it would always be there, but I also felt I had no one to let it out to. Everyone in my life had children, it seemed. I began to feel I had ‘failed life’.

 I was hesitant at first. I too had tried conventional therapy. It seemed painfully slow and did not help this issue. After my first talk with Siljoy, I felt some something move. In the very depth of my despair over this issue. ... I felt... less stuck...I remember feeling surprised. I agreed to further telephone sessions. The next session, again, more movement , I took a step forward . It felt like a solid step too. A good solid step forward. Here was a person taking my hand, and gently leading me out of the dark, sad place I had exiled myself to. I did not think it possible. She has given me surprisingly simple but effective tools to look at things in a new way. Each session was now a step up and out of the darkness, into a much brighter and more interesting life.

 I so vividly remember sitting on the floor looking out the window, talking with Siljoy, tears streaming down my face, watching the sun and wind in the leaves, and also feeling that fresh air and sunshine now entering my soul. My life now felt more like an onion, with many many layers. There was much more light, layers, interests, and a feeling of connectedness in my life. No longer feeling isolated, and sad.

I felt my old playful self return, but this time, wiser, kinder, and much more connected to life and all of her mysteries. I can not explain in words how good it felt, and feels. I now honor this part of my life, it no longer controls my life. My life is as rich and interesting as I wish it to be. Siljoy, I so want to thank you for this."

 "Siljoy has been a wonderful guide and support person. I was at a crossroads with my infertility journey. I needed someone to talk with that truly understood my pain. I was searching on the Internet one night for some kind of support and Siljoy's article – “Empty Arms - Dealing with the Pain of Involuntary Childlessness” caught my attention. I read it and knew that she truly understood!  My only concern was that her practice was in California and I live in Illinois. I emailed her. We scheduled a free phone session. I was unsure at first about doing phone sessions. After talking with her I knew it was right. The sessions have become invaluable. I have found happiness again in my life. I am peaceful and whole once again and healthier then ever because of Siljoy's wisdom and compassion. I cannot thank her enough."
