Maria T. Rothenburger, PhD

We haven't spoken in nearly 2 years, just after I finally had what would turn out to be a successful pregnancy...I need to thank you for everything, you really helped me a lot through that last transfer and I give you a lot of credit for the success. I just really wanted to express my gratitude and am so glad you are out doing what you do to help other people move through this roller coaster of a process.

Thank you for doing all that you do. Your work has helped people like me, who have had such a difficulty trying to conceive, find balance in uncertainty and loss and be able to move forward with a forgiving perspective and learn to welcome so much more positivity.

I just wanted to say thank you because you are an amazing support. Miracles are in their way to me. I say this to myself daily. Thank you.

I wanted to write to you to thank you all the way from London. I had recently started hypnotherapy and mindfulness to help myself deal with IF and stumbled across your podcast on Spotify. I’m so glad I did. I really can’t overemphasize how helpful, useful and supportive your podcast, blog and resources have been to me through a difficult period. 6 months ago I thought struggling to conceive might break me, but instead it has made me stronger and now I see the world differently. Much of this change of attitude has come about since listening to your podcast.

After listening to only a few episodes in of Miracles Happen, I felt the overwhelming urge to send you an email to say THANKS. ...I was so happy that my husband and I had ANYTHING to laugh together about - and it was an added bonus that it had nothing to do with fertility...All day today I’ve felt a new sense of hope that I may not have recognized if it wasn’t for your advice.

My husband and I will be listening to one of your podcasts on our way to retrieval tomorrow! Thank you again for all that you do for those of us out here in infertility-land because you are right on the money when you say the struggles are no joke. You are an inspiration and catalyst into what is hopefully my journey of growth and strength.

Thank you for being so brutally honest and for not sugar coating anything, yet I find you to be so compassionate and empathic. Thank you for being practical and real around spiritual concepts and making it accessible and linking it to fertility and beyond.

Hi Dr Maria, I just wanted to drop you a note to say THANK YOU for changing my whole mindset about my fertility issues... I feel like a different person. I breathe into my stomach now instead of shallow breaths into my chest, I know how to meditate and have been doing it, I don’t stress over someone cutting in front of me when driving, I’m happy chilling on the sofa watching a film without running through my to do list for the week, my shoulders aren’t hunched up constantly, I’m happy to say no to work things, I can say no to invites to give myself time to chill , I’m writing in a diary and writing gratitude lists...I wanted to say THANK YOU for opening my eyes to a whole new better world.

Wow, I am under such a huge impression Maria! I got up yesterday and thought I'd read an intro and a chapter or two of your book before going about my day. At 10 pm I finished the book and went to bed amazed with how many emotions I've relived and/or relieved through your book in just one day. Thank you, thank you, thank you for writing this book. Thank you for putting your heart and your therapist expertise into it! Thank you for sharing your story (sending you so many hugs for all the heartbreaks you had to go through) and congratulations on having the guts to stick with your heart! I am so happy your journey was successful in the end and I am forever grateful for your willingness to invest your time and heart into helping all of us find the light at the end of the (in)fertility tunnel.
