One more post, then I have to work-Maori healing and TTC

itsmegin · December 2010

So the couple we had over last night were super duper California stereotype hippies-vegetarians who juice their own wheatgrass, live by the beach, etc.

Oh and she's a Maori/Holistic healer who uses her feet to massage people and stuff Surprise . This girl grew up in El Salvador in the late 70s/early80s and lived in the jungle trying to escape the guerrilla warfare going on at the time. She never spoke a single word until the age of 6 because she was always in hiding and had to be quiet. Her life story is amazing. I was just fascinated by her all night. You can't really compete with that though, I was like, well, I grew up in the suburbs... Sleep

Anyway she was talking about TTC and how they heal infertility with all their holistic stuff. I'm totally skeptical but I also always think I might as well try anything, it can't hurt right? What do you all think? BS or worth a shot?

I say it can't hurt! I work at a natural history museum and we had an exhibition here last year that was about the Maori people and their relationship with whales and it was fascinating stuff.

My motto has always been - if it can't hurt, then why not?!

I try really hard to be open minded, especially when it comes to multicultural topics. If it works for people somewhere in the world, why not me?!

I am interested to hear your experience (if you don't mind sharing) if you do decide to go through with it!

Good luck!

It certainly wouldn't hurt! At this point I would be willing to try almost anything. What does the holistic healing entail? Did she give you any details?

Go for it! The Maori are a very old people and sometimes I think western medicine too easily dismisses the wisdom that comes from a culture evolving to survive.

FWIW, I've been working with a naturopath for the last 2 months and even those this pg didn't stick, on a day-to-day basis, I feel much more balanced and like I'm headed in the right direction.

I always figure if it doesn't hurt it's worth a try. And I'm interested in other viewpoints on health and healing.

I'd love to hear about your experiences if you try it. She sounds like a super interesting guest, at the very least.

I say try it. What can it hurt? I firmly believe in trying new things and anything that can help us get our bring home baby. A friend of mine does astrology and what my FI calls "witch craft" with the burning of candles, insense and sayings. It has helped the few times that I have done it for job and money related issues.
