One of the best parts of my job is hearing feedback from all the people I help. Hardly a week goes by where I don’t get a tweet, email, or Facebook message from a reader, fan, or follower telling me about the amazing progress they’ve made in their life—whether it be weight loss, depression, or fertility. Becuase I’m eager to share their great achievements (with their permission, of course), I’m introducing a new weekly series on my blog called “Marisa Peer Success Stories.” 

This week’s success story comes from health and fitness blogger Lucy Miller, who came to me for a session to help her get pregnant. She highlighted my book on her wonderful blog/diary, Lucy and the Bump, which is a great resource for mums-to-be who want to keep their own health in mind while pregnant.

Below is an excerpt from her entry.

When thinking about trying for a family – it made complete sense for me to read Marisa’s new book ‘Trying to get pregnant (and succeeding)’. Marisa has such a positive outlook on everything and certainly knows her stuff. The book covers everything from nutrition to positive thinking and after writing down lots of positive affirmations and sticking them on my walls and mirrors (somewhere where you can look at them everyday) I felt more optimistic.

I also tried new supplements (to be covered in a later post) and listened to her CD at night just before bed.

As Marisa says, ‘what your mind says, your body will eventually follow’, so I continued to tell my body what it was going to do and had lots of positive thoughts—and it worked!

I would certainly recommend this to anyone looking to start a family. Your mind is so powerful – you could be the most healthiest person in the world but if your mind isn’t ready to accept children in to your life and the changes your body has to go through to get there, then your body won’t be!

Give it a go.

I’m so thrilled for Lucy and can’t wait to meet her beautiful daughter when she’s born!
