Sara started Nursing School at Concordia University in Irvine CA August 2013. Sara had the good fortune of being exposed to Pathophysiology and Pharmacology in Nursing School. Knowledge in the pathology of disease, and how medications work in the body, proved to be immensely helpful in supporting her bodies ability to heal from PCOS. She quit Nursing School in November 2013 to pursue becoming a Certified Professional Midwife. In January 2014, Sara was diagnosed with PCOS through bloodwork testing her hormones and a trans-vaginal ultrasound. It was discovered that Sara had cysts on her ovaries and high levels of testosterone. She was also suffering from irregular periods. Sara started the process of healing from PCOS through spiritual healing and emotional healing in February 2014. In October 2014, she re-tested her hormones, and to her delight, her testosterone was now within normal limits. She also discovered that her cysts were now completely gone, through doing another trans-vaginal ultrasound. Having successfully normalized her own hormones, removed her cysts and getting on a regular menstrual cycle, she knew she could help other women normalize their hormones, and become fertile again, and thus Womb to Heart Fertility Support was born.
