Clearing Obstacles to Pregancy: Four Stories by Leah Matalon
Jul 31, 2025
Darleen's Story: Darleen came to see me because she and her husband wanted a child. Her menstruation cycle was so irregular that she never knew when she was ovulating and when her fertility time was high. As we worked together it became clear that she was unsure.
Over several months we worked with issues from Darleen’s childhood. It became evident that some of these were unconscious deterrents to her becoming a mother. Among these issues was a father who had abandoned Darleen emotionally and physically and had left her mother when she was very small.
All her contacts with her father over the years were difficult and deeply impacted Darleen. For example, he would arrange a visit and then not show up. On other occasions he would be extremely critical and insulting. It became clear that there were serious emotional issues in most of his family relationships.
Darleen’s mother had been the mainstay in her life and continued to be there for her, along with a close family on her mother’s side.
Over several months of working together we addressed these issues, especially the childhood wounding. Darleen is pregnant right now, in her eight month and joyously happy.

Maura's Story: Maura was using fertility doctors to help her become pregnant. Once again, with the support of the Basic Protocol and multiple applications of the Female/Male Harmony Release we worked with the issues that were blocking her ability to hold the pregnancy.
Many of them had to do with family issues and mother/father issues. Being the eldest child she had many early life challenges that affected her self esteem. Over time Maura began to own her abilities and power and she developed inner strength and higher wisdom.
She did become pregnant during our work together and has two children now.

Joni's Story: Joni had a boyfriend of many years who was reluctant to commit to becoming a parent. She was unsure about using an egg donor since she was not producing enough eggs to become pregnant.
I had been working with Joni on many levels, including the relationship with her boyfriend, for a long time. As we worked with the challenges around fertility, she discovered that her desire to be a mother was far greater than her reluctance to use a donor. She decided to find a donor.
The result of this final decision---to go with what she needed and wanted, rather than keep capitulating to his indecision---was a pregnancy and the birth of their son.
