Testimonials from Doreen's clients

Natural Fertility Management:

I would highly recommend the services and care that Doreen Schwegler provides through All Degrees of Health. Doreen helped me get my body and mind in a healthy state to conceive through IVF. She took into consideration my individual circumstances, history and what I wanted to achieve. She really does use natural therapies and techniques to compliment science so it is a truly holistic approach. She ensured that I had adequate nutrients in my diet and supplied supplements so I made healthy eggs and helped me minimize any harmful things that were adversely affecting my health. She also helped me to understand my fertility to maximize conception timing. The result – I got pregnant straight away, saving me lots of heartache and financial stress. She also supported me throughout the pregnancy.My baby is due in 6 weeks time and I feel fantastic! Doreen made what could have been a very stressful, heart breaking, time consuming and expensive journey, an enjoyable, affordable and exciting one. MP

We were trying to conceive for about 2 years as I was diagnosed with both endometriosis AND polycystic ovaries (not the full blown PCOS as I was still having regular but painful  periods). My husband was found to have lowered motility and increased abnormal sperm. IVF was considered our only option but I heard about Doreen’s work through a girlfriend who had troubles getting pregnant and conceived successfully twice in her early 40s and had 2 bright, alert babies). It took patience, awful herbal tonics and a fair few supplements initially, and time to drive from the my country home to Essendon once a month. During the 6 month period of workup (Doreen explained “endo” takes time to reduce the inflammation and oestrogen imbalance that causes the problem in the first place), my periods became less painful, I began to understand my cycles and fertile symptoms, my IBS symptoms improved and we both had heaps more energy. Friends would comment about my clear skin and sense of well-being! We got the “go-ahead” to begin conception attempts, and within 2 cycles got the positive pregnancy test!! Yippee….
But, I began to bleed after 3 weeks. I contacted my hospital and Doreen immediately. They recommendation bed rest, and Doreen gave me some “anti-miscarriage” herbs. These stopped the bleeding, and the ultrasound showed there no problem with the baby. After stopping and starting bleeding, and the herbs, I went onto deliver a gorgeous little boy. That was 3 years ago. I have since conceived naturally again (it took a few more visits to Doreen to remind me about the pre-conception principles and more herbs and pills). I am due to deliver my second any day.

Update 4 years later:
We are now the proud parents of 3 children. We attribute my pregnancies and their health to Doreen’s professional, personalised and effective treatment. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
My recommendations to those trying unsuccessfully to conceive is to give the natural option a go first. At the very least you will feel and be healthier!

Just wanted to let you know that the potion you concocted for me with the aim of decreasing my inflated FSH, has miraculously returned to normal. The last 3 levels were 19, 21 and 24 and after a week on the potion it went back to 15. This has allowed us another chance at a MIFT cycle which we have begun today. Will keep you posted.
Cheers and thanks heaps

I just wanted to say thank you for your great advice on getting my son to sleep through the night!  Since I saw you last week, he's now slept the past 5 nights through, as we instituted the "sticker incentive" in the mornings after he's slept (and the occasional present if needed) Thank you so much for giving us back our sleep!!!
All the best,
ML

I would also like to take this time in thanking you for everything you have done fore me in such a short amount of time! I can honestly say I feel 100% better. You really have shown me how to look after myself, and put my health back on track.
Thank you so much for your time.

Bowen Therapy:

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for what can only be classed as ‘a cure’ for a number of persistent pains that I have been enduring over recent years. 

The pain that I came to you with after a severe fall I had (not too much fun in your seventies!) had relinquished after only 3 treatments …   Astonishing!!  What really took me by surprise was, that without any advice from myself, you were able to identify and eliminate pains that I had been struggling with down my right side since a quad bypass heart operation in 1997.
   
I had originally sought treatment from a physiotherapist for approximately 1 ½ years and although it gave me significant relief it was not able to eliminate my pains. 

As with trying all new treatments I had a bit of scepticism about the Bowen treatment.  It is one thing to read about how it has helped so many others but to try it for yourself is always a little more difficult.  On that note, however, I am happy to say that I am no longer a sceptic …. IT WORKED!!!! … and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Thankyou so much for the relief you have given me.

Recent Testimonials from Liz's clients

"After years of muddling about with trying to improve the quality of my lifestyle, I am confident to say that I have finally found something that works! After only one session with Liz and Psych K I stopped smoking (after 35 years of trying!) and haven't had any desire to smoke now for 4 weeks. This subtle yet power technique has also helped me with losing weight. I am happy about making sensible food choices and keen to exercise just for the sake of it! Psych K has helped me feel better about myself and has definitely improved my life."

Since beginning the Psych-K program with Liz O'Brien and the skillful, helpful and encouraging guidance she has provided, I feel I am well on the way to being rid of past unproductive emotional "baggage" which has plagued my life for decades. After only a short time of having begun Psych-K with Liz, I have been experiencing steady, positive shifts in my overall attitude towards life and belief system.

One day a good friend gave me some advice and that was to make an appointment and see Doreen to get some vitamin assistance. The stress of an extended family problem was causing my body to shut down and I was getting very sick from the stress.

The day I saw Doreen she then gave me some advice - "try to change one thing a day every day", so when I received Doreen's e-mail about Liz O'Brien I jumped at the opportunity because what did I have to lose. It was another opportunity for change.

The problems in my extended family had caused me to lose self confidence and my true sense of who I was and who I am today. The situation was so intense that I had never before felt such pain that my heart hurt and never before had I cried so much. So you may begin to understand how huge the impact of this problem was on me let alone my husband and children.

I know I'm a kind, giving and loving person and Liz is helping me "believe" it. Whether you want to admit this - or not - sometimes what we say and know isn't always what we "believe", in our mind. Our minds can be our own personal enemy or our greatest asset and Liz is helping me develop my greatest asset through positive thinking and "power statements". Through Liz I am beginning to "believe" in myself once again and I am most importantly beginning to heal.

If I could empower you through my own experience to meet with Liz I would scream it out at the top of my voice. It's no hard sell and no gimmick its just, now my chance, to pass onto you what has been given to me - "Change one thing" - make the time to see Liz because what have you got to lose?
