Testimonials:
"I cannot recommend Elaine enough! Going through fertility treatments is
so physically, emotionally, mentally, and financially exhausting. I can
say without a doubt, working with Elaine on the day of my transfer was
worth every penny. Going through that process with her by my side,
coaching my breathing, and encouraging me along the way was invaluable.
Our doctor and medical team were great, but even with the best of
science, so much of creating human life is out of our control. Having
the mental and emotional support and tools from Elaine really made all
the difference for me. I’m convinced our story would not be the same
without her. I am forever thankful to her for helping our transfer day
be a success which led to our now happy and silly toddler."
- Emily M.
"I took a short break from treatments while working with Elaine
Wang. I worked on reducing stress, eating habits and my general well
being. My entire journey took nearly two years. I didn’t even realize
that I had so much to work on to get to where I am today. After several
unsuccessful IVF cycles and really working on myself, I had finally
gotten much more grounded and centered. I can happily say that the last
try was a miracle and success."
- Christina R.
"Elaine is wonderful! This
program is amazing- it really does change your life. Since I have been
on this program I feel so much better both physically and emotionally.
Going through infertility can be emotionally draining and even more so
when you are overweight, but being on the program really has helped me."
- Jacqueline E.
"Elaine taught me that despite the challenges of infertility, there is still so much in life I should be grateful for. She taught me about self love and self care, and that my worth is not determined by my infertility problems. I thank you Elaine for lifting me up during the time of my last embryo transfer!" - Brenda Q.
"Being a preoperative
and postoperative nurse, I’ve seen firsthand how Elaine has helped
patients overcome anxiety, nerves and fears before going into the
operating room. Even patients who don’t express any concerns have
enjoyed Elaine’s presence, calm demeanor and guided visualizations. Some
patients will even joke that they’re so calm and relaxed that they
won’t need any anesthesia! Being able to relax before surgery also helps
in recovery. The IVF process is emotionally, physically, mentally and
financially exhausting. Having someone like Elaine helps ease the
process, which is important because our mental state impacts us
physically too. Elaine is a ray of sunshine at the office. We all agree
that just her presence is calming. She has a special gift that can’t be
taught in textbooks and that’s hard to find."
- Maya C., RN
"Elaine Wang has been
my professional colleague for over six years in the capacity of
director of the wellness program at West Coast Fertility Center in
Orange County California. She played a leading role in the development
of this niche program to help medical patients struggling to overcome
metabolic and nutritional challenges related to infertility problems.
She has organized and implemented an educational workshop empowering
patients to modify behavior, reduce stress and improve self-esteem.
Elaine is artistic, creative and able to engage and motivate other
co-workers and clients to reach their health maintenance goals. We are
proud to have Elaine as a key member of our wellness program."
- David D., MD, Clinical Program DIrector
"Elaine has a very calming and peaceful voice and personality. She does her magic with our patients before and during their stressful procedures. So I was delighted to hear that she was putting together a course that can be used anywhere you are with your smart phone. I listened and went through the beginning videos she had, and was amazed how calm and peaceful I felt afterwards. I have recommended her videos to various family members and friends, who were also pleased with their calming results." - Cris R., Embryologist
"As a medical assistant, I've witnessed the vulnerability and
anxiety that many wives, husbands and families go through during IVF and
have seen first hand how Fertility Fit Kit's mind-body practices have
given them comfort during this stressful time. Having gone through the
IVF process herself, Elaine has an in-depth understanding of the
challenges involved. I also use her stress management techniques to
better assist our patients and have seen the tremendous difference it
makes."
- Cindy L., Medical Assistant
"Elaine is hands down one of the most talented movement therapy specialists I have ever worked with! Her extensive training in modern dance, yoga and qi gong take her knowledge and expertise to the next level, and she really helps you to get in touch with the deeper aspects of your body and spirit so that things are truly aligned on every level. As someone who works in women’s health and reproductive medicine I can see how her experience, compassion and gentle wisdom can truly shift the body and mind into a healthier more receptive, fertile place. Elaine is at the top of her field and is always a joy to work with. - Virginia P., DAOM, L.AC.
Elaine approaches everything that she does with creativity, conscientiousness, and care. She is deeply resourceful in her approach to teaching and continually integrates new information for the benefit of her clients. Her energy and enthusiasm is infectiously engaging, - Ping H., MA, MPH, Founding Director - UCLArts and Healing
