Anyone consulted with a nutritionist / herbalist?

[LitMama]

Hi Mamas,

After following a DIY fertility diet and supplement regimen for the past 7 months, I feel more confused than ever and like I'm ready to get help from a specialist.

This idea is hugely reassuring to me, because going it alone, I often feel a bit like a kid out in the rain without a raincoat. Because I'm pulling from lots of different modalities, I have been having a fantasy of finding a TCM person, a Western herbalist, a yoga/meditation/qi gong guru, a naturopath or homeopath (and perhaps a life coach and a standup comedian who juggles) and bringing them all together in one room to figure me out and tell me what to do! (My TCM practice is wonderful, but only provides acupuncture and Chinese herbs, no guidance in other areas or modalities -- I need the big picture.)

I contacted Pulling Down the Moon in Chicago and was pleased to hear that they offer a telephone consult package (I'm nowhere close to Chicago) that looks at my medical / fertility history, my diet, my TCM diagnosis, my western diagnosis, and my full supplement regimen, and creates a personalized nutrition/supplement plan for me.

Have any other mamas out there consulted with Pulling Down the Moon? What was your experience like? Would you recommend?

Has anyone gone this route with another practice/practitioner? I would love to hear what your experience was like... pitfalls, successes, frustrations, questions you wish you'd asked, warm fuzzy feelings?

Also, anyone have an experience like this in the San Francisco Bay Area? It seems like these kinds of folks should be coming out of the woodwork here, maybe I'm not digging deep enough...

Thanks so much to whoever is willing to share!

Blessings,
