I am the author of Riding the Infertility Roller Coaster: a Guide
to Educate and Inspire. I wrote this book to help empower,
educate, and support men and women who are engaged in
their own battles with infertility. I also included information for
family and friends to help them understand the unique
challenges people battling infertility have to face. My book is
dedicated to all of the children and the parents that wish for
them.
I have been a licensed clinical social worker for over 30 years
and worked in hospitals for over 13 years. I am also the mother
About
of a daughter that was conceived through infertility treatment. I promised myself that
if I was successful at the end of my infertility journey I would do the best I could to
help other men and women in the midst of their infertility battles. Through my work in
hospitals I learned that if people had the right information it would help them cope
with whatever challenges they needed to face. I have authored 2 books and
co-authored a third book. My first book was Patient Power: How to Have a Say
During Your Hospital Stay. This is my second book. I co-authored a book, A Book is
Born, with my stay-at-home mom colleagues at Wyatt-MacKenzie Publishing. These
books all have a common theme. I want to act as an advocate for my readers to help
give them the tools they need so they can be prepared to tackle the life challenges
that lay ahead.
Since my daughter, Grace's birth, I have devoted my time and energy to helping
people learn to cope with the challenges of infertility. I have done volunteer work for
RESOLVE, the national infertility association. I also have led groups, did individual
counseling, workshops and continue to write articles and speak on infertility related
topics. It is my hope that my work will help you. I wish you luck on your journey!
