Being told at the age of 28 to either have children now or risk the chance of never having them was not something I had counted on happening.
Nor had I expected to be told that even if I did by some slim chance conceive, the chance of having a normal, healthy pregnancy was slight, and that the birth would be tainted with all sorts of initial problems, as well as the fact I may not even be able to carry full term due to the scarring and lesions that previous operations had left on my cervix.
Basically, if I did conceive there was the potential for many problems to follow, more than most doctors wanted to deal with.
Sure, I thought maybe one day I might have children, but it was not something that I had spent a lot of time thinking about, or planning. To be honest it was probably the last thing on my mind, more something I avoided than contemplated.
The reason behind having to make that decision was due to ongoing recurring Progressive CIN 3 Cervical Cancer, which is the last stage before Chemotherapy is used as a treatment. The doctors instead do Laparoscopies and laser surgery to remove the cancer growth.
This treatment began at age 18 and continued until my mid 20’s, having 6 monthly check-ups to keep track of how the growth was progressing.
Then I had cysts rupturing on my ovaries, and with the doctors looking at the female history in my family it seemed inevitable that I was heading down the same path – one that would lead to a hysterectomy, but in my case possibly before I even had the chance to have children.
I had a choice: I could continue living the same way, and end up heading down the same path as the other females in my family, or I could change the way I lived and create a new way of being.
I knew something had to change; it was the ‘what’ and ‘how’ that took time, patience and commitment. I looked at every aspect of my life – making choices in how I ate, the times I went to bed, the way I socialized and who I socialised with, as well as the way I was at work. I was great at placing everything and everyone else first, so taking time for me and truly looking after myself was a challenge. Knowing I was worth this loving care and nurturing took time for me to accept.
Beginning to look after myself and taking responsibility for my choices and the repercussions of those choices, constantly being open to more, knowing that I was the only one that could change the way my life and my body was, I gained an understanding of the choices I had made and why I made them and slowly I was able to change the way I lived. This is not something that ever stops…for me it is an ongoing development and commitment to myself and to the way I live.
After 5 years of changes and adjustments with the support of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, I met a wonderful loving man, ended up in a relationship, and after 3 years of marriage we decided to have a child.
I had spoken of my past, the issues I had and the possibility that I may not be able to have children; we decided to take the chance and see how it all went.
We spent 8 months having counselling sessions with a Universal Medicine practitioner addressing our ideals, beliefs, expectations or anything we may have felt to do with having a child, our relationship with ourselves, as well as with each other.
Both of us made the choice to commit to parenting without imposing or expecting our children to be anything other than who they truly were, growing up without feeling they have to be anything other than themselves.
Both my husband and I also did hormone tests to see where our bodies were at on a physical level. When the test results came back we were both surprised – my husband felt he had more chance of falling pregnant than I based on our test results.
But against all the odds, all that I had been told, all that my body had gone through with my operations, cysts and treatments, I was already pregnant.
I continued having regular sessions with Serge Benhayon during this time. I also introduced Esoteric Breast Massage, which I had with accredited female Esoteric Practitioners, and I had an amazing pregnancy: no illness, no health issues or complications, and the birth followed suit. Our daughter was born one day early with the support of my husband, a wonderful midwife and friend who arrived just in time. With no complications as per the original fear that the doctors had when I said I was pregnant, I had a trouble free labor.
I know that if I had not made the changes in my life to support my body, take responsibility for my choices and to look deeper at all that I had chosen to avoid and bury in my life, things would have been very different.
I was 36 when our daughter was born – she is now 6 ½ and we also have a 16-month-old son from an equally beautiful and complication free pregnancy.
Now at 42 ½ years old and 5 months into our 3rd pregnancy, we are going against all the odds in more ways than one when it comes to the medical profession – we are expecting our 3rd child, and again, it is a truly amazing experience, one that is a true blessing and confirmation of how far we have come.
For me, the key has been continuing to deal with, take responsibility for, and change the way I was living – looking at every aspect of my life, with the support of Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine, the Esoteric Practitioners and the Esoteric modalities.
It was with this support that I was able to make the changes in my life, to become pregnant against the odds and go on to live the life and have the family and relationships I have today.

The Truth about Serge Benhayon 
This is lovely to read again especially this statement, ‘the key has been continuing to deal with, taking responsibility for and change the way I was living’ is key to all our ailments and diseases. Being responsible is such a powerful thing to be able to live in this world. It makes us accountable to not just us, but everybody else that lives on this planet.
The world would be a different place if we all lived from this place more and more.
Absoulutely Alison, bringing Love True-Love into our way of living definitely is a goal-post shifter.
What a De-light it is to feel the depth of what you have shared Nicole and that it takes more than one to carry a baby full term and the team of support you had has definitely given you a remuneration of gratuities that your family has had bestowed upon us all because of the Love you have obviously obtained and shared.
I agree Greg, it takes two to bring a baby into this world, it takes a community to bring the child up. Now that’s bringing a child up…
“I looked at every aspect of my life – making choices in how I ate, the times I went to bed, the way I socialised and who I socialised with, as well as the way I was at work”, is saying that you took responsibility and made the commitment to live your life differently to how you used to live.
So in every moment we have a responsibility to live from this foundation and in this its like that boomerang, it comes right back at you irrespective of the way you are living. Something for many of us to think about…
Conventional medicine can give us an idea of the future based on the underlying causal energy not changing or even taken notice of. Change the energy causing the situation and what occurs physically is, in my experience, beyond anything I could imagine.
Modern medicine has its outplay and thank goodness we have it. We are have not quite mastered or understood the outplay of the root cause of our illnesses or ailments and really looking at the energy behind it. For many they don’t want the responsibility and rather be fixed, or we can bring that deeper level of understanding and life is received differently.
I know which I would rather have…
This is amazing and I personally feel should be widely available for all couples, partners single people.
“We spent 8 months having counselling sessions with a Universal Medicine practitioner addressing our ideals, beliefs, expectations or anything we may have felt to do with having a child, our relationship with ourselves, as well as with each other.”
We are all daily witness to the fact that there are many children in this world who are struggling because their parents are struggling with trying to live. Because of the way we have set up our society that you are born, then educated, get a job, get a girlfriend or boyfriend, get married, have kids this way of living appears to be set in stone along with your born and then you die. This way of being has fudged the fact that we are here to evolve and not fill the time in between having children that are not wanted but are seen as part and parcel of package of life we have bought into.
The what is possible, is beyond our realizations and expectations, so why would we limit ourselves to the impossible, when the possible is there ready to be expressed. What we need is our time to heal and allow in the impossible!
“For me, the key has been continuing to deal with, take responsibility for, and change the way I was living – looking at every aspect of my life, with the support of Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine, the Esoteric Practitioners and the Esoteric modalities.”
Support from Serge Benhayon and universal medicine added together with your own medicine – self responsibility made the mx into a miracle. Awesome to here Nicole.
Our body communicates so much to us – it is a matter of us listening and heeding what we hear and hence caring more and more deeply for ourselves. That is in effect what the body communicates to us in its myriad of ways – look see and feel what you are doing and how you can do this differently so that you can bring that much more love care and respect for the vehicle that enhouses us.
The key is to be open to being more and more responsible in our lives, not in a weighed down way but in a way that embraces life for all that it offers.
Bringing back self responsibility is key in all aspects of our life, ‘the key has been continuing to deal with, take responsibility for, and change the way I was living – looking at every aspect of my life’.
Amazing how we can turn things around when we commit to really loving ourselves up and also with a sense of knowing that can only come from and through the body. Thank you for your sharing Nicole!
I don’t think we fully comprehend how much our daily choices impact our health and wellbeing, and in many different medical conditions including fertility. This is a very inspiring story because it shows no matter where our body is at we can make changes and contribute again to our health and wellbeing, just as ignoring our body has contributed to our lack of health and wellbeing.
It is a very inspiring story, showing how powerful our choices are, and we always have a choice, ‘I had a choice: I could continue living the same way, and end up heading down the same path as the other females in my family, or I could change the way I lived and create a new way of being.’
This is amazing. Even when the family history is telling one thing, the choices we make in this life, for our own way of living, is enough to change everything and start a completely different history. This is Your story tells me that when we take responsibility for the way we live, it is actually for everyone, not just for ourselves.
This is really an amazing story. It is one that medical professionals need to pay heed of as it is evidence that our choices affect our health and well-being, much more so that the current medical model is prepared to admit.
“Knowing I was worth this loving care and nurturing took time for me to accept.” A reflection of a pregnancy that offers the opportunity of rebirth.
The miracles of everyday – I love hearing the stories of people who go against the trend. It shows that anything is possible. Even if we are healthy and upright, it does not mean that we will never get ill or fall down – but our choice in how we deal with it is crucial, our perception and how we see things is the key to how we respond.
It is no coincidence that when we makes loving changes in our lives miracles occur; I cannot ever underestimate the power of a loving choice that truly supports me and the impact it has on my body.
Spot on Caroline – the power of love has no boundaries.
It is important to look at all aspects of how we live, ‘I looked at every aspect of my life – making choices in how I ate, the times I went to bed, the way I socialized and who I socialised with, as well as the way I was at work.’
This is amazing. How we live is medicine and in union with western medicine this is a powerful combination.
For those people that are looking to make changes to their lives for whatever reason I feel that the teachings and modalities of Universal Medicine is a great place to start. I know so many people that have made positive changes to their lives because they have made that choice that willingness to look at the way they were living. I now know so many people that have become my inspiration that a true change is possible and that true unadulterated love does exist and it is actually living in each and every one of us; we are just not aware of it buried as it is underneath all the ideals, beliefs, expectations that we have smothered it with.
Serge Benhayon is amazing! what changes many many of us have made and oh how have our lives expanded because of it.
Such an extra-ordinary man who has inspired so many and enriched our lives beyond measure. We are indeed blessed to have met him!
You are re-writing the medical history books Nicole, to go through cancer and the possible complications that could arise from this and yet still be able to carry to full term, 3 healthy babies with no complications is a miracle and just shows what is possible if we are willing to make changes in our life that are supporting our body instead of consistently trashing and being in disregard of it.
Amazing how when we truly decide to change and take responsibility miracles happen.
It was cool to read how you and your husband started to work on removing any pictures or beliefs around parenting. Going in with a clean(er) slate rather than with preconceptions and judging the new situation based on a previous one such as how your parents parented you. This tends to be the way things are but it’s our lifestyle that leads to disease. Makes sense then if lifestyles are passed to the next generation that disease travels across the family.
This is an amazing testimony to you how you changed your life and connected to the support of Serge Benhayon and the healing modalities of Universal Medicine. Quite frankly this experience should be shared with the world. I’m going to print this article because I have a friend who is not taking care of themselves at all and may be if they read this honest blog they may be inspired to look after themselves too.
This is a truly amazing turn around and a testimony of what can happen – how we can deeply heal our bodies – when we accept that we are worth deeply loving and caring for, and putting first.
This is a learning for many women, putting themselves first, ‘I was great at placing everything and everyone else first, so taking time for me and truly looking after myself was a challenge. Knowing I was worth this loving care and nurturing took time for me to accept.’
Nicole your story is a great example of how taking responsibility in our lives brings a true healing to the body; responsibility is definitely one of the best medicines available for our bodies.
The more responsibility we take then the more responsibility is given to us. This is a beautiful thing.
“We spent 8 months having counselling sessions with a Universal Medicine practitioner addressing our ideals, beliefs, expectations or anything we may have felt to do with having a child, our relationship with ourselves, as well as with each other.”. This is a beautiful example of what taking responsibility for ourselves looks like.
We can make the established western medicine to wonder, by presenting a way of living that is against the trend and to show some medical ‘wonders’ that are not to their current knowledge and experience.
When we make the deliberate choice to return to our essence, our bodies simply readjust to the natural flow and to its natural configuration which then the established medicine than call miraculous. And in a way it is, but it depends from which side you looking from.
A very beautiful and inspiring story breaking consciousnesses and leading the way setting a new standard in the development of a loving relationship with the woman through conception, pregnancy, birth and the raising of her family. Well done Nicole.
When we live true to ourselves all sorts of miracles occur.
And when we make that deliberate choice to live true to ourselves miracles in life become our normal.
I love this – proof that anything is possible when we take responsibility for every aspect of our lives.
Showing that there is far greater power in each moment when we step up with our levels of responsibility.
Yeh – what actually is possible in every moment? And could we be missing incredible opportunities?
Such a powerful testament to how making life changes can support us in so many areas of our lives. “For me, the key has been continuing to deal with, take responsibility for, and change the way I was living – looking at every aspect of my life, with the support of Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine, the Esoteric Practitioners and the Esoteric modalities.”
Changing course in life is not that easy. It requires first, to be able to feel that the current pattern of movements has something to do with what is happening to us. To accept this in full and to accept to let it go. To find something true that truly can help us. To embrace it and make it part of the day to day movements. It is not easy, but it is the only way.
What a beautiful example of taking responsibility for every aspect of your life, with no rewards or expectations.
Absolutely tremendous to feel Nicole the changes you have made, to truly succeed in this life we need to look at every aspect, the way we eat, what we eat, the time we go to bed, the friendships we have and the way we express…..
Every moment is a choice to bring out the love that we hold within.
Thank you Nicole for such powerful testimony to the power of taking responsibility for one’s lifestyle choices.
Just because life is a certain way, we should never let this dictate how we live. For following this route leaves us as cardboard cut out characatures of who we are in truth.
This is an absolutely incredible story. I can see that your commitment to yourself underpins the way you parent your children providing support for a family that can support the world.
Three children later definitely proves that the way that we live affects our body and that when we take responsibility for ourselves things can and do change.
This is a miracle. It’s not a flick of a magic wand but commitment to loving ourselves first that does it.
Absolutely Fumiyo – committing to loving ourselves – with consistency – is key.
“For me, the key has been continuing to deal with, take responsibility for, and change the way I was living – looking at every aspect of my life, with the support of Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine, the Esoteric Practitioners and the Esoteric modalities.”
This is so wonderful and what a huge pay off thank you for sharing.
It is beautiful to read of the miracles that happen when we live the Livingness, I always enjoy hearing stories like this as it confirms how powerful our loving choices are.
“Both of us made the choice to commit to parenting without imposing or expecting our children to be anything other than who they truly were, growing up without feeling they have to be anything other than themselves.” What a gift to any child.
Yes – so beautiful. No pictures – no expectations put upon a child. Not many experience this – what a gift as you say Nikki.
When we get an illness we can blame everything and everyone for it or we can take responsibility and make different choices even if we don’t know where to start. There are always things we can start to change in the way we are living even if it is just the smallest things.
When we turn the tide of our disregard and start to take more responsibility and support our body, our well-being will always be enhanced and respond proportionally.
What an amazing story of the power of your lived way Nicole, of the power of The Livingness and all that this offers us. To consider now the amazing mother that you are, not just to your own daughter but to so many more, and how this expression and reflection of how to raise children could have never been the case, shows how far we stray from what we are really here to bring. The Livingness brings out what Heaven has sent us here with to reflect to all.
Thank you for sharing that only we can make the choices to live a healthy and loving life. No other elements of change can truly support this unless we are willing to surrender and take on the responsibilities that come with living a life of deep love and self-care.
A miracle story, one that is beautiful to read. Miracles can be an everyday event when we take responsibility for how we are living and are truly prepared to look at ourselves.
Yes Nikki.. as a very wise man once said to me – ‘miracles are simple when there is truth.’
I love that. 🙂
Getting real and honest is the simple ingredients for change!
This is a clear example that the way we live and nurture ourselves has a profound effect on our physical body.
To be able to have the clarity that is needed in very difficult moments to feel that we have a choice and put a name to it is something that has to be deeply deeply appreciated.
” knowing that I was the only one that could change the way my life and my body was, ”
This is a great realisation and a great starting point for any healing.
Whenever we get odds or probabilities quoted to us, they rely on a large number of unstated assumptions. If these assumptions are not true for us, for example if our lifestyle is very different from the norm, then the probabilities may or may not apply to us.
It’s a box we may simply not fit into and if everyone else is in the box, it can be baffling that we aren’t.
Incredibly inspiring Nicole. Not only are you a living testimony to the fact that our lifestyle choices impact greatly on our bodies and the quality of life we experience, but also you have shown us that it is never too late to make changes to the way we live, to one that is more honouring and loving of who we are. We only need to will it for ourselves, be honest with the truth we feel, and be open to address and heal what we feel is not true.
We all have stories of incredible events, and ways our body spoke to us in unique circumstances. Yet what does each one show? To me it’s that when we choose Love, the changes that can take place go beyond what we see is real. Our life is revatlised in a bigger, energetic way, old patterns cleared out and space made. It’s impossible to account for all the benefits in a linear way. Safe to say choosing to align to truth is incredibly good for our health. Thank you Nicole for sharing how this happened for you.
An amazing turnaround Nicole, there can be no question that the way we feel about ourselves and the way we live in life as a result has great bearing on our physiology. If you had kept going as you did, the doctors would no doubt have been spot on. Beautiful to read that there is another way to go about addressing something so significant as this that isn’t a drastic intervention but an empowering and sustaining change.
Nicole, this really is amazing. You truly show there is another way regarding health, how to heal and how to live with self-awareness and care. Your story needs to be shared in medical journals.
Yes, making statistical outliers normal! Making the unusual commonplace – in a good way.
What an awesome story – although it’s not the first time I have read this, I never tire of reading about miracles. This just goes to show the power of true healing.
A truly remarkable and inspiring story, Nicole, of how we do not have to be a victim to life if one is willing to take responsibility and to change the way one lives. For as Serge Benhayon keeps reiterating ‘true medicine is the way we live’.
Well said Doug. It truly is remarkable, yet in truth normal, that, “With Universal Medicine, miracles are indeed an everyday thing that are just treated as normal.”
What a great article that shows the care and responsibility we take with how we live offers the potential for our bodies to heal, the look after and support new life. There is such stigma around not being able to be pregnant but very little true understanding of what is behind this.
When we take responsibility for ourselves so much magic can and does happen.
The power of self-care cannot be under estimated. My life has also had a complete turn around through making the space to really nurture myself. I have children and what kind of role model would I make if I can not offer myself the care and Love that I talk to my children about considering in their lives. It is not something that can be just talked about, it must be lived. A child who observes self care and self love is role modelled this, this is true inspiration.
Incredible Nicole – create your own miracles. There is more than what meets the eyes. A blessing to all who read this and what is possible. To go against what we call ‘the odds’ and ‘rebirth’ yourself from a choice-driven old long momentum that caused a lot of pain and hardness is a momentous outcome. It’s a self-created new way of life thanks to being responsible and being open to receiving true support from Universal Medicine and the life changing healing Modalities.
Key for many of us is to take responsibility, and look at how we are living, with illness and disease escalating out of control it is common sense that something is not working, so what if true medicine is the way we live?
Life is up to us, that is what I take from this today. And I loved this line, it can take time…”Knowing I was worth this loving care and nurturing took time for me to accept.”
Thank you Nicole for sharing . It sounds like a perfect combination towards healing using esoteric medicine and conventional medicine a lethal combination for the health of humanity and our future children.
An inspiring testament to the power that we all have to establish the quality of life we choose.
An honest and inspiring sharing Nicole on making shifts to change how you lived to support and take responsibility for your life and how you then moved thereafter. Simply awesome thank you.
What a great idea and responsibility to have counselling before having children, looking at your ideals and beliefs with respect to having a child, and to come to this was gorgeous, ‘Both of us made the choice to commit to parenting without imposing or expecting our children to be anything other than who they truly were, growing up without feeling they have to be anything other than themselves.’
Deep commitment to self, to the way we live, the choices we make and continued opening to what is true allows everything that is meant to be as designed by God to be. Your honesty, love and commitment is inspirational Nicole. There is support for everything encountered all we need to do is to open to it.
Every day we are alive we can go deeper with who we are and being clearer. But our whole way of living is set up around finding hobbies and habits and repeating them ‘ad nausem’ to avoid this. Certainly this way of behaving has made us sick – for as you show Nicole we always need to keep refining and updating how we choose to live. It’s totally up to us, but our bodies will always show us the truth of the way it is.
‘I know that if I had not made the changes in my life to support my body, take responsibility for my choices and to look deeper at all that I had chosen to avoid and bury in my life, things would have been very different. ‘ This is all we have to do to turn our lives around. I now know so many people who have done this, including myself.. It takes commitment but, my, how it is worth it.
Nicole I have read this blog before, however coming back to it today, your story is like a miracle. But actually it happened not by chance, but from your choices to make changes and take responsibility for the way you live.
Wake up calls can hurt to the bone but when we are willing to be responsible with what is on offer we can live and be offered the most amazing gifts and qualities we had never thought possible.
Yes Natalliya, embrace and appreciate every moment that comes our way and then we bring our all. Very often it is through the challenging times that we are given golden opportunities to change our ways and re-imprint a new and different way of being.
There are certain things, moments in our lives that give us a massive opportunity, a chance to see our whole way of being and reasssess what is true. Whilst this might seem challenging or overwhelming this is actually natural and how we can truly activate change. So why not playfully embrace this chance to see we are so much more that the regular routines and activities we do. It’s ok to choose something new. Thank you Nicole for inspiring me to reassess my life too.
True Nicole being responsible for our choices and how we care for ourselves it is an ongoing development and commitment and is a way of life, the Way of the Livingness.
You’re a living miracle Nicole. Something that we can all choose to be by taking responsibility for ourselves.
This an amazing story Nicole, Universal Medicine has provided with so many resources to create daily miracles in our lives! thank you.
A powerful story Nicole thank you for sharing it… taking responsibility for yourself and your health in this way has clearly paid massive dividends, quite miraculous actually. As a complementary health practitioner I can say this is a most unusual turn-around, something unseen to this degree with any current treatment available.
What an enormous turn around. It is amazing how much influence our choices have on how our body operates.
Nicole what you share takes responsibility to level that is much needed. A super important sharing for our times when many are facing illness and disease. It’s how we move that heals for it’s our movements that created the dis-ease.
It can seem a lot, to invest the money and the time in all those sessions when there’s no tangible, immediate outcome. All you can go on, is your feeling of what feels true to do. So what an amazing testimonial this is here Nicole to the power of our choices to heal, and the support offered by the Esoteric modalities for us to restore our natural vitality. When we dedicate ourselves to this route we give birth to a great gift – our innocent, playful, delicacy and knowing of the truth.
Wow this is amazing, really amazing I hear of so many people who really struggle with connecting for all sorts of reasons your sharing really gives hope of what can be possible when you take full responsibility for the way you are living. Very Inspired.
Beautiful sharing Nicole, a great testimony of how it is possible to change a probable negative outcome into a positive one purely by looking after yourself and supporting your body in every aspect of your life.
Absolutely amazing. It just goes to show just how powerfully healing it is to live in honour and love of ourselves.
This is a beautiful and inspiring story of how full your preparation was of both yourselves and your body before giving birth to a child.
What a beautiful and inspirational example of someone taking responsibility for themselves, the way they live and their impact on others; just gorgeous Nicole, thank you.
Nicole your blogs always amaze me. You are a beautiful testament to what loving choices can do to our life. Keep them coming.
This is a truly amazing story. The level of commitment displayed here is just astounding and I can feel how much love you hold yourself in – against the all odds love won.
When there is a condition that runs in the family it can often be viewed as a kind of inevitable or given that it will happen, just a matter of when, but with that we discount the huge effect that our whole way of living has on our health and wellbeing. Great to hear of the changes that you made in your life Nicole and how they have supported you.
This blog presents quite well the crossroad that we sometimes face: either we continue the same path leading us straight to a very difficult situation or change how we are moving, change our way of walking through life to see whether this can alter what appears to be the final stop. Every one has to know that this is the case so they can also change paths.
Imagine the amount of women that have been told this very thing, that they cannot have children or will not have a smooth pregnancy because of this and because of that. It would be incredible for doctors to actually understand energy and how we live to the impart to patients the power of choice and changing ones lifestyle, as you did Nicole with the support of Universal Medicine.
Although your story is incredible I just love the responsibility you both took before choosing to get pregnant to address the ideals and beliefs and expectations you had around parenthood. This is rare and yet a powerful foundation to move forward from to not be tainted by or impose these things on your kids. Really this should be compulsory.
How stunning to get a feel for your evidently beautiful family Nicole.
“my husband felt he had more chance of falling pregnant than I based on our test results.” – Made me laugh heartily, Thank you Nicole.
This is so gorgeous, it is clear that the choices we make determine the quality in which we live. And how our bodies can work even if the medical profession is doubtful, it is a magical thing, if it is needed, and we care for it deeply, our bodies do the job.
Understanding that we are fully responsible for all our choices, ideals and beliefs and their outplay on our bodies is the first step to true healing.
A true and inspirational testimony to the power of choices. We have the power to completely turn our lives around, make it what we know it can be and live it with energetic awareness and love as our guides. A dedication to be consistent in making self-loving choices builds the quality of how we can be in all that we do. This is my focus of late.
I love the way you stayed true to what you were feeling about having children, and did not give up as could so easily have been the case when faced with such news. Your family is a testament to the changes you made, and the responsibility you have taken for your health. Beautiful.
That’s incredible. To be told 1 was pretty much out of the question, to later have 3!! There’s a lot missing in our medical encyclopaedia’s that we are refusing to notice and review.
” I looked at every aspect of my life – making choices in how I ate, the times I went to bed, the way I socialized and who I socialised with, as well as the way I was at work. ” Making new lifestyle choices affects every aspect of our lives. Thankyou for sharing Nicole – an inspiring re-read.
Why is it we wait till things get extreme, till our body screams out for us to stop, or at least makes it clear it can’t continue this way? Your story is remarkable Nicole in just what power we have when we finally tune in to the fact that our body has so much wisdom and so much to say.
Totally amazing Nicole, what an inspiring story… knowing you as I do, first I would never know you were in your 40’s, nor that you had 3 young children, and least of all that you have had such significant health issues as a much younger woman. You definitely defy the odds… so awesome other women can read what your approach has been and the result.
This is amazing Nicole, your willingness to take responsibility for the way you live and your choices is inspiring. You also show many women in our society what is possible, by how you’ve have turned the health of your body around, to being told the possible chance of not being able to conceive to now having 3 children is incredible and a miracle. It also shows how our bodies can heal by simply choosing to love, care and nurture it consistently.
‘the key has been continuing to deal with, take responsibility for, and change the way I was living’ And this is just it, the rate of our evolution is completely up to us, very simple. The support from Universal Medicine is awesome in this regard.
Nicola I love reading about your life, it is absolutely massive what you have been through and learnt a long the way, your story is nothing short of a miracle.
I love that despite the doctor’s dire warnings of ‘have a child now or never’ you stayed with yourself and only started ‘trying’ to conceive after clearing so many ideals and beliefs you were holding around having kids. We do innately know what is a true choice and what is not.
It doesn’t matter what the situation is, we always have a choice to take care in life, and it is like this care can just deepen and deepen. It seems we are all mothers like you Nicole in our own way, giving birth to what we call life. It is up to us to understand that nothing under the sun just happens to us, but all flows in response to our past actions and what we choose. The difficult part of life is not actually this fact but that we fight and resist this reality. So let us embrace at last our true power and respond from that.
What an amazing story Nicole, it just shows that if we take responsibility to look at our lives and make changes to truly care for ourselves, miracles can and do happen. I can think of nothing more beautiful than bringing children into the world to parents who are committed to looking deeply at themselves and caring for their bodies with the esoteric healing modalities, which can initiate changes above and beyond any of our expectations based on what the medical profession tell us.
Wow this really shows what a miracle the human body is, and how responsive it is to living a true and naturally vital life – how we choose to live not only matters but has a massive impact on our whole well-being.
very inspiring, the amazing changes that can happen with The Way of The Livingness constantly amaze me, from living with stubble, stress and complication to a natural unfolding and acceptance of life.
A beautiful story that clearly reflects that the way we live with ourselves and with the world is revealed to us in our physical body.
This is an incredible story Nicole. Our relationship with ourselves and our relationship with why we want to have children in the first place are often not considered when it comes to fertility treatments but your story leaves me with no doubt that these things have a huge impact.
With so much talk (including blame) on genes that run in a family being the causes of disease, this blog is a refreshing change that we can make our own changes and whilst we may have a genetic pre-disposition to a illness or symptom, we can make changes in our own lives which can support our bodies as to how much this pre-disposition plays out or not.
You should write a book, there is such a healing offered from all that you have been through, you and your family have been blessed by many miracles.
This is the truth of the matter – ” I had a choice: I could continue living the same way, and end up heading down the same path as the other females in my family, or I could change the way I lived and create a new way of being.” It was not until I discovered the teachings of Serge Benhayon that I knew that this was an option that would and does work. As Serge Benhayon describes it “true medicine is the way we live.”
Thank you for sharing how you saw the doctor’s stark message as a choice to make changes in your life and commit to taking care of yourself and later to preparing to parent. You are living testimony to the fact that we are not victims of life but have the power to turn our lives around in amazing ways.
Wow what a miracle! Shows how, when we takes responsibility for our own lives, the consequences can be enormous. Deeply inspiring, thank you Nicole.
There’s so many beliefs, ideals and impositions placed on us by society and medicine about what is possible and what is true or not. Connecting to and living from our inner-most with deep love, care and expansion brings a whole new ball park or playing field where the ‘impossible’ becomes possible. It’s so worth connecting to our true selves and healing what does not fit in and it brings miracles.
Wow Nicole this is truly inspiring for all women to read – especially if they are having difficulties falling pregnant. To look at the way we are living and that the choices we are making that may be harming to our bodies brings a level of responsibility that when we commit to can bring about true change and make the impossible possible.
Nicola this is a beautiful and inspiration blog, for women like myself who have had simliar challenges of becoming pregnant, for what ever reason. It really is about bringing it back to the self and how we have been living, what choices we have been making. At the same time not having a need to be filled with a child, but a welcoming of the child to be able to be free too choose their own path during the parenting phase.
we are all told the statistics about falling pregnant after 40. But this is based on a society that does not look after itself pretty much in any way, shape or form. What would happen if we changed that dynamic? What would be possible? It is always misleading in some respects to using the statistical probability of something to determine if it relates to you, especially if you are not one to follow the pack.
Nicole you are a miracle in action. Your story should be center page and stage to be shared. Thank you. Congratulations . Bless you. I don’t know what else to say.
Thank you, Nicole a truly inspirational blog and one that shows the true miracles that can happen with a commitment and dedication to yourself and relationship. What a blessing for all of you to come together and live a life now in fullness showing the importance of…”For me, the key has been continuing to deal with, take responsibility for, and change the way I was living”
Honesty of where we are at is the first step of taking responsibility in life, it allows us to choose a different way to live that is honouring for our bodies and where we can let go of pictures we have been holding us back.
Very inspiring. It just goes to show that we can change our projectory, as it were, and by taking responsibility for ourselves, in the truest sense of the word, we come to a place of health and well being and can live a life way beyond what is expected of us.
A real testimony to what is possible when we decide to take responsibility not just for our choices but also for their repercussions and consequences;when we choose to commit to ourselves in every way and to make that our living way, A truly inspiring read.
This is really and inspirational sharing Nicole for anyone who is planning to have a family with a clear slate as far as physical and emotional health goes. Congratulations on your commitment and the result being 3 wonderful children!
It is truly beautiful to see how our bodies communicate with us. Having the cysts and cancer giving you the possibility to stop and consider the way you were living and deepen your relationship with yourself is absolutely amazing. There are always two options when a situation like yours arises and that is to freak out and trying to get pregnant straight – that is looking outside and reacting, Or, looking inside instead and feel what is going on and from there, change the way we are living and take charge over how we are choosing to live.
Beautiful, inspiring and powerful to read Nicole your commitment to consistently living responsibly and lovingly is such an amazing example of what is possible for us all. It always comes back to the choices we make every moment of everyday.
Thank you Nicole for an amazing story, and the healing power of the body when we take responsibility for our choices and choose loving ways.
You are a living miracle Nicole and will inspire many other women who have similar fears to take responsibility and to begin to make loving choices that can transform your life in amazing ways.
This was inspiring to read, thankyou Nicole.
It is beautifully confirming to read this blog Nicole. It shows clearly how healing is not just a physical thing but also energetic through the choices in the quality of how we choose to live. It is not just healing the body but also healing our choices that brings a whole and true healing all round
Taking responsibility in ones life is a really profound step that, when first presented, seems outrageous and implausible to many, and yet, when the energetic flow of life and the universe is understood just a little, it becomes more a second nature and indeed inevitable.
Inspiring to feel the level of commitment to you and your relationship with your husband to be responsible parents and don’t impose in any way to your children but to support them for who they are, thank you.
What is evident to me is the commitment and dedication you have to looking at and changing your life. You were absolute in your love and understanding of yourself and your body and what was possible. Many in the same situation would have jumped in and fallen pregnant, felt powerless in the path their life/body was appearing to take. The ‘Esoteric’ is good medicine and this became your foundation, along with your acceptance and appreciation of what the world offered in conventional medicine. Thank you Nicole for sharing the miracles that are possible through deeply committing to loving ourselves.
This one is big for many of us..”Knowing I was worth this loving care and nurturing took time for me to accept.” I am still going deeper with this one each and every day. Some days better than others.
This is extraordinary Nicole, you started having treatment at 18 years of age for Progressive CIN 3 Cervical Cancer, the survival rates are incredibly low in cervical cancer because they know so little about it, yet here you are and with 3 children and 3 uncomplicated pregnancies. There is no way the diagnosis could have been wrong, there is no way what the doctor was saying in terms of the potential for complication was wrong so what was the defining factor? You.
I don’t feel that healing means we get what we want, whether that be children or even to survive an illness like cancer. True healing comes from understanding how we are our medicine in every moment, that everything matters for ourselves and for others – even intentions. The fact that you and your husband both had counselling for how you were going to parent or your expectations around that is, again, extraordinary, when there was such a low likelihood of being able to conceive in the first place. Thank you for sharing.
What I am hearing is that real change in behaviour to compliment our health doesn’t frequently happen in health. So much so when true change happens and creates a miracle modern medicine can’t explain it at this stage.
As the story above does describe a living day miracle.
I agree Nichole, Serge Benhayon and the esoteric modalities have been an incredible mainstay and inspiration and have turned my life around. ‘ For me, the key has been continuing to deal with, take responsibility for, and change the way I was living – looking at every aspect of my life, with the support of Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine, the Esoteric Practitioners and the Esoteric modalities.’
‘I had a choice: I could continue living the same way, and end up heading down the same path as the other females in my family, or I could change the way I lived and create a new way of being.’ Thank you Nichole goes to show that we are not strictly held by family genetics and can take responsibility for our own make-up.
Beautiful blog Nicole. This show the results of a life based on responsibility, self love and care. , and your body has responded.
Wow, what a testament to taking responsibility for all your choices and turning your life and health issues around. We are not victims of family genetics but a product of our choices.
Thank you for sharing your gorgeous story with us. It is inspiring how you have taken responsibility and committed to making loving choices for yourself, to heal what was in the way of living lovingly and truthfully. You are a beautiful reflection that there is another way to live, one where we are responsible and empowered to make choices that support us to live in a more honoring way.
Nicole what an amazing sharing – wonderful. Some one has to make a TV-film about your experiences because it is a miracle. “Pregnant against the odds – Taking Responsibility” is also a good title – it would be time that the world could see what is possible if we chose to heal our hurts.
This is a very inspiring story and can show what is possible when we make simple changes to the way we live. Having such a serious illness and still being able to conceive later on in life is a miracle in itself. I am sure many women who have had problems conceiving would benefit from reading this.
Nicole, thank you for sharing such an intimate story of your life. This is really amazing; I love how going against the odds actually can be very loving and a well choice for you. Its beautiful to hear how your choices had contributed to a more healthy lifestyle and hence your previous condition. I also really like how you have taken the care for counselling sessions to be open and free to receive a baby without having to put ideals & measures on them, to me this is real responsibility and integrity. I trust you are a very loving mom.
Nicole by you taking responsibility and making choices that were loving and true you were able to fall pregnant and experience no complications – not only is this amazing but deeply inspiring.
How inspiring to read it is amazing the changes that are possible when we take responsibility for our vitality and well being on every level.
“For me, the key has been continuing to deal with, take responsibility for, and change the way I was living – looking at every aspect of my life, with the support of Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine, the Esoteric Practitioners and the Esoteric modalities”
What you have expressed here Nicole is the key for us all.
Thank you for the gentle reminder and inspiration.
This blog and others you have written Nicole, stand as amazing proof of the power of our choices. Thank you for your inspiration. When we trust in love, amazing things happen, that defy the ‘reality’ we have in our minds.
Exactly Joseph, I find my mind, most of the time, tells me a different story.
Beautiful said Joseph, “When we trust in love, amazing things happen, that defy the ‘reality’ we have in our minds.”
Nicole, your story is a testament of choosing self love and care in your life and the miracles which follow from that.
Absolutely Francisco, and this is pertinent to the whole miracle I feel..”I know that if I had not made the changes in my life to support my body, take responsibility for my choices and to look deeper at all that I had chosen to avoid and bury in my life, things would have been very different.” A gorgeous story and confirmation of choosing a more loving path.
Your article shows the importance not just of medical support but of the change brought through your self love and self care. Changing your living ways brought about a miracle … and 3 beautiful children.
I love this blog Nicole, it really is like a true miracle and really shows that anything is possible. So many couples can’t get pregnant these days and look to IVF when looking at lifestyle choices maybe a better first step if they haven’t done that already.
The love, responsibility and commitment you brought to having children is very inspiring and a great role model for how to be a parent. Your children chose their parents well!
A gorgeous testament to the power of healing oneself though a commitment to deep self-care and a loving way of being.
Your words Nicole are super here: “I know that if I had not made the changes in my life to support my body, take responsibility for my choices and to look deeper at all that I had chosen to avoid and bury in my life, things would have been very different” – and say it all. Yes everything is down to choices made, which creates the life we have, and enjoy (or not as the case may be).
Wow Nicole. Not only did you become pregnant against the odds; you really challenged the fact that you were in a movie with a more or less clear end. You took control over your own life. This is huge!
What is lovely about reading this is that there is no sense of ‘poor me’ , despite the almost overwhelming series of medical conditions. Within the simply told, almost practical, rendition of events there is an underlying growing awareness of self-responsibility which is inspirational, and a great reference for so many others who feel they are ‘up against it.’
Beautifully expressed Nicole. Thank you for sharing your experience in choosing to be a parent & the choices you made to get you there,
Beautiful story Nicole. This article shows how choosing to truly care for yourself and make self-loving choices in the way you live can have such a profound effect on the physical body.
Wow Nicole this piece really would inspire any women having similar issues to look at their lifestyle and make different choices! Its an incredible change you have made in your well-being.
I agree Tony, I have worked with women for over 10 years and have witnessed many women making different, more healthy lifestyle choices and through making these choices changing the direction their health was heading in.
This is a very strong piece of writing as it shows the power we have in our bodies, if we re-connect and live a life truly supportive of our bodies than miracles can happen. It also blows out of the water the whole genetics charade, the main reason illnesses carry on down the line in a family is because we continue living a similar if not identical lifestyle. With lifestyle choice now being recognised as the major player in illness and disease it is common sense that if we live in the same way as our mother/father/grandparents than we will take on their aliments. Beautiful sharing Nicole.
Beautifully expressed Tony, spot on.
Well said tonysteenson. We seem to use genetics as a way to avoid responsibility, yet stories like this go to show that the power of our choices is so much greater than we like to think.
Tony I agree, it really shows the power we have in our body and the miracles that happen if we choose to live a healthy lifestyle, honouring and respecting our body, how we can heal our own body. There is too much blaming in genetics out their, which is just an excuse and it really needs to be debased. As a lot of us are living proofs of miracles.
I am so touched to hear of your joy of becoming a mother against the odds – to have defeated not only the physical limitations naturally – but a lot of the ideals and beliefs that come with parenting as well – thank you for sharing and I trust your 3rd pregnancy will be an equal joy.
A very inspiring and touching article.
Wow – all the doctors in this world should read your story! It is amazing how you changed the plot of the story, by your own simple choices.
Many people affiliated with Universal Medicine are writing about bringing simple awareness and acknowledgement to choices they are making as well as equally simple adjustments to their lifestyle, which are producing great change. They make the point very powerfully that the true answers are not complicated, difficult to comprehend or require great problem solving capacity. Instead they just take an open heart and mind and the honesty and courage to move forward step by step with consistency. Investing a lot of energy in that complication and ‘intelligence’, one might find it difficult to accept there was a much simpler way. One may even try to use that ‘intelligence’ to prove that there wasn’t, without even trying it. Such is free will.
Nicole, I really cherish how open you were to the Universal Medicine Practitioners in talking about what you and your parnter’s expectations were around pregnancy. This for me is something very different than I have heard being done before.
Thank you Nicole, a short yet very powerful blog.
This is a very inspiring story Nicole – it’s real and down to earth and miraculous all at the same time.
When we make the choice to self love, that is the healing moment. Putting it into action is another healing moment. The simple choice to not overeat, stop lifting things that are too heavy or sit down and breath for 2 mins are all healing moments. There is an idea that healing comes, for example, from someone living high in the mountains, or a guru with a long name – to me this is the path of giving your power away… in actual fact the power of healing is within ourselves.
Very true, it boils down to letting our choice originate from the Love deep within us and then to actually put that loving choice into action. There is healing whenever we break the hold of what has been with us and prompting us to make the unloving choices and we re-choose a loving way. The powerof healing is indeed within ourselves.
So true Matthew, ‘the power of healing is within ourselves’, yet we are never taught this as we grow up. Few grow up empowered to make choices, the first one being to self-love. Hence we go through life as Nicole did making ill choices that eventually show themselves in the body. How different would it be if we were educated from young to know that we have the power to heal ourselves!
How amazing your body was able to heal from what seemed impossible through changing lifestyle ways, taking responsibility and caring for yourself Nicole. Universal Medicine offers inspiration and support to make powerful life changes.
absolutely agree ruth
Not only am I inspired by your dedication Nicole to address your previous choices that have contributed to your health issues, I also felt the level of responsibility that you took in looking at your needs around having children. This sounds like an enormously aware couple looking how to continue maintaining their relationship as well as preparing for parenting to raise children and not impose on them to be a particular way or to serve your own unmet needs.
An amazing and inspiring story Nicole, thank you for sharing it. What stood out for me the most was your dedication to bring more self-care and consistently making more loving choices for yourself, and how that supported your body to do what it naturally does.
What a wonderful way to bring children into the world! To enter the world as a child without the pressure from parents to be like or meet certain standards must feel wonderful for them, just allowing them to be who they are.
So beautiful Nicole, i read this again and feel so inspired by how you made choices to change your lifestyle and wellbeing for you, with the most amazing outcomes possible.
Thank you Nicole. It is very refreshing to read the lightness with which you write about such obviously intense experiences that went on for quite a long time. I love the ‘against all odds’ stories. When we are told these things, diagnoses like yours, it’s like someone has put the mockers on you, and the diagnosis can so easily become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
But it does not have to be, if we, as you have done, choose to find and connect with our true self. Well done you, and thanks again to Universal Medicine.
Nicole, thank you. You’ve shown the power of listening to yourself first, taking responsibility for your life and body and making a steady commitment to change. It is also testimony to what happens when we don’t have a set of outcomes but simply live our lives honestly and lovingly. Miracles indeed do happen.
Thank you for this inspiring sharing Nicole – showing that our beliefs about having a family are only what we allow them to be!
I love the humour of this line:
” When the test results came back we were both surprised – my husband felt he had more chance of falling pregnant than I based on our test results.”
What a wonderful world we would live in if this were true for all of us:
“Both of us made the choice to commit to parenting without imposing or expecting our children to be anything other than who they truly were, growing up without feeling they have to be anything other than themselves.”
I agree Anne what a wonderful world we would live in if this was true for all of us. “Both of us made the choice to commit to parenting without imposing or expecting our children to be anything other than who they truly were, growing up without feeling they have to be anything other than themselves.” That is amazing parenting Nicole! Your children are blessed by it, and I am sure you feel the same by having them in your life.
You are one amazing woman Nicole and one very dedicated human being. You are a role model to me even as a man of what it is to commit and work through life’s challenges and face whatever it is that is before you. With love, admiration and respect, Dean
wow this is a truly inspiring story Nicole and one that I will carry with me everywhere I go. I am having to make really hard decisions at the moment to change the way that I live and it is quite a hard thing to do. I am constantly getting pulled to go back into a old way of behaving but I am committed to changing my choices because of how much my old choices lead me to a path of very ill mental health, very poor memory and very very poor overall health. I am so inspired by my commitment and also by your sharing as it feels like you have had to go through a similar thing. It so lovely to know that you also found love and have since had three children all of whom feel like they have very amazing parents. Thank you once again for sharing (as a tear comes to my eye).
I agree Natasha as to the power of the old and destructive way of living and that even when we recognise that it is time to make a change these old patterns continue to tug at us. But through the inspirational and supportive sharings like this one of Nicole’s, and through our own commitment to make loving changes we can begin to heal the pain of the past and slowly step into a new way of living.
This is an amazing story to come back to. A modern day miracle! I hear in conversations more and more about couples with no apparent health problems not being able to conceive and having to go through IVF at great expense ,many times with still no joy. It makes me realise how precious life is and not to take any decisions we make about lifestyle choices lightly.
Nicole I have tears in my eyes when reading your blog, it shows the power of self-care, self-responsibility and most importantly self-love.
Very inspiring. 42 years young, and having beautiful healthy (cheeky) babies, against the odds and not at the expense or risk of you or your children.
Thank you Nicole, this is amazing and is so supportive and inspiring for people to read. We often think life can’t change and you and your children are a living example it can – in so many ways. The big thing I feel that plays a huge part in this is self responsibility. Sometimes it can be difficult to face up to the choices we have made or the way we choose to live, but you have shown it and we are absolutely worth it.
You are an inspiration to women in how you decided to give it a go against all odds and listen to yourself and not give up. You were willing to have a deeper look at what was going on for yourself to not be able to conceive, take responsibility and do the necessary healing so as to be able to give birth to the 3 children you have.
How great, Nicole, that you had those lovely children with the support of Serge Benhayon and other Unimed practitioners. You must have gone through a lot of mental stress before you had their support. Congratulations.
What a blessing for your Children Nicole. You prepared for them on all levels, by caring for your body and by you and your husband being so honest about every belief you held about being parents. That is reflected in the way your children are growing up.This is an inspiration for all potential parents. It is also an inspiration for people like myself who will never be parents, but who may have chronic health conditions. You have shown that they are not a prison sentence that will stop us from having a full and rich life.
Taking responsibility for ourselves and our choices is huge, Nicole. This is a great example of how you have taken your life to create a new way of being, no matter what the odds were.
Absolutely and that no matter what it is – it is never to late that each moment is only a choice.
This is amazing Nicole, after all the diagnoses and treatments you had you have not lost trust and you had not given up on you. I am so happy for you that your third child is on the way. What an inspiration again that life can be changed once responsibility is taken and taken care for the love we are.
“I could change the way I lived and create a new way of being.” I love how you recognised that you had a choice instead of just continuing living the same way
Beautiuful point Anna, I have a feeling and a knowing that recognising that we have a choice would seem as though it was simple, and easy, but it’s not … I have come to know that we have a choice within every moment with EVERYTHING that we do and I could never have ever fathomed this before starting to study with Universal Medicine and learning and being inspired to make different choices…
A beautiful story of love and healing, of reinventing oneself and falling out of all statistics by one´s own choice of living in a more supportive, healthy, aware and dedicated way. I can feel the deep appreciation in your blog, for yourself, your husband, Serge Benhayon and all Universal Medicine practitioners and teachings.
Gosh Nicole, everything was stacked against you conceiving, your cervical cancer, the ruptured cysts, your family history, yet you were able to have 2 healthy children without any complications, with another baby on the way, that is a true testament to the changes you have made in your life. Thank you for sharing.
As you express it Alison, it really is quite miraculous and Nicole shows us just how powerful it is when we make different choices in our lives. It is really remarkable.
Absolutely, it shows how we can change our lives with choices we make, even if all signs would tell us otherwise. Our bodies are miracles and we need to nurture and love them dearly.
It is so beautiful to feel that taking responsibility and being open to truly observe oneself and from there make loving choices can move mountains.
Your having three pregnancies without complications against everything that had been predicted shows the power we have and how modern conventional science is only able to portray and forecast that which it is willing to see.
Nicole, thanks so much for sharing your experience. I was unable to have children and I can now see how much it was due to how I had run my body down over my life so that when it came time for me to want a child, my body was simply too wrecked to be able to hold a pregnancy. I only wish I had had a similar understanding of self care and nurturing all those years ago, and maybe the story would have been quite different.
This is such an amazing blog and journey to share with the world and a real inspiration for everyone wih your love dedication and commitment to yourself and hence your family . Thank you Nicole truly beautiful in every way.
Nicole, I could not help but pick up on your comment about going down the same path as other females in your family. How easily we can accept this and look no further. Is not the common thread how all the females have lived and the choices they made? But you have chosen to step outside this and explore for yourself with the support of Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon. A very inspiring story for others in a similar situation.
This comment stood out for me as well Francene, as to how so many women feel that it is inevitable that they will follow down the same path as others in their family, whereas Nicole has shown so clearly that this does not have to be the case. She has shown us that to make the choice to care for our bodies on a much deeper level has the power to change the way we live and in this case to break through what was considered inevitable. Our bodies are definitely the marker of how we are living and to make changes to support ourselves in a more loving way cannot but change our quality of life which in turn will offer the space for “miracles”.
Somehow this blog stays with me and I keep coming back to it, because it is so profound what is shared here. The level of responsibility and commitment is HUGE, and is just such a wonderful reflection. Thank you again Nicole for sharing this and being this inspiration.
Yes this is so true and so felt Mariette. Nicole writes with such clarity and shows how by committing to making loving choices she has turned her health and medical expectations on their head.
Very inspiring Nicole. Your article is evidence we don’t necessarily have to fall victim to our genetic predispositions… and our choices are indeed powerful. Your dedication and commitment to yourself is lovely to feel.
Amazing story Nicole, and you are living proof that life can change dramatically, by making different choices. And how the body responds to these changes. Truly awesome!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful story. It is incredible the healing power and capacity our bodies have given true nurturing, self-care and willingness heal our underlying emotional hurts. Esoteric medicine truly does complement western medicine.
This just goes to prove that when we deal with issues, ideals and beliefs that run us it opens up the possibility of clearing what is in our bodies that creates blockages and dis-harmony. Universal Medicine is the only organisation that gets to the root cause of any issues that I have ever come across which is the only place where we can truly deeply heal.
Well said Natalie – Universal Medicine offers a true difference.
Agree Natalie
I agree 100% Natalie! Imagine if our current health system incorporated this approach as part of ongoing professional and client education… not only treating the physical symptoms (which of course at times is an essential part of healing) but at the same time looking at the root cause of our illnesses and disease..
So true Natalie, Universal Medicine offers another way, one that allows you the opportunity to truly look at your issues, beliefs, ideals and ways of living and begin to see that everything comes back to the choices we make everyday. So powerful to read how Nicole was able to reclaim her health in this way and have 3 trouble free pregnancies. Amazing!
That’s absolutely magical and truly amazing how you transformed your health and your life by making loving choices in your life.
Against all the odds you had beautiful pregnancies and labour. Wow!
Your story is beautiful and truly inspiring Nicole, thank you for sharing.
Nicole your story is inspirational and shows how enormous an impact these cumulative small changes make to our health and well-being.
Nicole I don’t often feel reactions in my body when I read blogs but I felt my skin tingle when I read that you were already pregnant and when I got to the part where you said that you were pregnant with your third baby I found that I was shaking my head in awe. Extraordinary and what incredible lives your children will have being bought up by 2 parents who have made clear decisions not to impose on their kids and a mother who has learnt to take responsibility for her choices.
I, too, share your wondrous opportunity to raise children with the possibility that they need be nothing more than who they truly are, without my having to mould them into an ideal that I might think fits them best – that this even applies to the choice to ‘not be’ all of who they are, is a challenge, but one that I relinquish being controlled by more and more, thanks to the continued and unwavering support of Universal Medicine.
You and your amazing family are truly an inspiration. It’s amazing how breaking down old beliefs can impact on our bodies so they can do the most unexpected things. Of course taking responsibility for how we are with our bodies impacts on how they are and what they can do.
This blog blows the medical profession apart and confirms that all that is needed to heal and create true change is to look deep within and with dedication and commitment assess the way we live in all that we do and take gentle simple steps to incorporate a more loving way of being. Deeply inspiring to read and feel Nicole’s commitment and support offered by Universal Medicine, thank you for sharing.
Nicole this blog is so inspiring. By taking responsibility of your life you have shown us all that there is another way.
Nicole you said ‘ the key has been continuing to deal with, take responsibility for, and change the way I was living ‘ this is powerful because it shows us all that we have choices in every moment.
So true Kathryn, the power in each moment to keep making choices allows us to be totally responsible for what we create in life. Nicole describes a consistent dedication to taking responsibility for looking at many aspects of how she lived to address her health issues.
A true miracle Nicole. What a blessing for you and now you are blessed by 2, soon to be 3 beautiful children in your life.
Yes you are gorgeous Nicole and it was so beautiful to read your story. The choices you describe to make such loving changes are amazing and at the same time such common sense which are not how we are taught in life. To read of the choices towards more responsibility for your health and life overall, that so many have begun to make as written of in these blogs, is inspiring and proof of the power such simple choices have should we choose to make them.
Once we get over the hurdle of seeing what choices we need to make differently and pulling on our inner strength to go there it is amazing the support that is around us if we choose to connect with it – making these choices becomes ten times easier. Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine has been a constant, solid and unwavering support of love and truth that I have never found any where else needless to say my choices to self love and care for myself have been a lot easier. Sometimes they aren’t all roses and can be awkward to uncover but so worth it. Thanks Serge for your support and Love.
I have learned that we have so much more input into our health and wellbeing than we ever realise, through Universal Medicine too Nicole. My health has changed enormously since taking responsibility for healthier ways as you have described.
Thanks Nicole – worth reading a second and third time – I really loved it when you said so honestly that “I was great at placing everything and everyone else first, so taking time for me and truly looking after myself was a challenge” – it is amazing how these things can appear so hard to change in the beginning but when we keep at it then it falls into place as the most natural thing to take care of ourselves…And as I am discovering, this can be taken to deeper and deeper levels all the time!
This article shows the power of self-responsibility and the miracles that come from this.
Thank you Nicole.
Thank you for sharing your story Nicole. It is amazing what happens when we take responsibility for our choices and decide to truly care and nurture our bodies. Regardless of the outcome, it feels so supportive and empowering to take this approach and realise that not only are we responsible for our choices but that our choices have a significant affect on our health.
What you are describing here Nicole ought to be researched. It is groundbreaking and so needed in an era where illness and disease is on the rise at an alarming rate.
I agree Elizabeth, this article would be so supportive for women everywhere as it reminds us that we are powerful beings and how we can begin to truly heal the body with self-love and self-care.
This is a super powerful blog, for women and men and for health practitioners specialising in women’s health and well-being, to read and feel that there is a piece of the puzzle missing.
This is truly beautiful Nicole and such an inspiration to look at ourselves and the way that we are living our lives.
I love how you took charge and completely turned your life around- and the foundations for your family are so solid. We all benefit from what you chose.
Thank you Nicole for this inspiring story – for all of us and especially for those in a similar situation. Many would give up with your diagnosis and treatment, but it just shows the power of taking responsibility and commitment to truly looking after ourselves can make.
Thank you Nicole, you show that taking responsibility for ourselves, our bodies and relationships is something that is so loving and rewarding. Putting yourself first is a great thing to learn before becoming a parent. I learned it when my children were already born and I am still learning. It makes all the difference for me as a parent but also to my kids. When I am here for myself first I am already fullfilled and I don’t need my kids to feel any emptiness. They can just be who they are and we can all enjoy the love we are and share.
Nicole, having known you for about 8 years now, it has been a joy and inspiration to see you return to the amazing woman that you are.
That you are now healthy, married to a gorgeous, tender man and have 2 beautiful children and another on the way, is simply a confirmation that we are all responsible for the way we choose to live and what we bring into our lives.
Thank you for sharing all that you are.
Thank you Nicole for share , it is amazing what we can feel when we listen to our body’s and get the support we need…
Wow Nicole, this is remarkable and clearly shows how powerful our daily choices can be.
An inspiring testament Nicole to your commitment to change your life by making supportive choices that supported you to be the amazing, vibrant, loving woman you are today. Thank you.
Nicole what a truly wonderful outcome for you and your husband. To have had so little chance of having one child and now you have three, this is certainly a tribute to yourself and Universal Medicine and the dedication and commitment to change your way of living and therefore your life.
A truly inspirational account Nicole, of taking self-responsibility and of the transformation that can come with self-care and nurturing. This is something every woman — and man — should read.
What an inspirational story Nicole, so amazing what can happen and what the outcome can be, when full responsibility is taken and to have the courage to look within and really make loving choices.
Wow Nicole, thank you for sharing this. It is inspiring and a testament to you and a great example of the true change that Universal Medicine has inspired in many.
Nicole, I am stunned by your article – what an amazing story. The world needs to hear this! Changes are indeed happening when we start to take responsibility for our everyday choices.
Thank you Nicole for sharing such an amazing living testimony of the kind of miracles that can take place when rather than live the so called societal norm, we instead take complete responsibility and truly respect and honour our body in full.
Through your honesty with yourself Nicole and commitment to see what was not supporting you and your body… you have shown so clearly how quickly our bodies respond and start to heal with love and care. And what a celebration, three beautiful children!
Beautiful Nicole, after reading your story I could feel some beliefs I had around pregnancy and it being hard, difficult or a struggle, fall away from me, especially when you said: “I had an amazing pregnancy: no illness, no health issues or complications, and the birth followed suit.” This whole blog just shows how making choices about the way we live, can change so much and this feels really empowering.
What a great turnaround. It’s awesome to have an example of such strength and simplicity of how we can really turn things around. The dedication you have to change things is inspiring Nicole.
Dare I say your children are little miracles?
Nicole, your life and your children are a true living testament to what’s possible when we allow ourselves to be totally honest and to look at what doesn’t work in our lives. There is another way – and this way doesn’t include any ‘fixing’ or ‘being good’, but with openness and love exploring who we are and what we are doing and why. Then the desired change can happen easily – from a true understanding, and no trying needed. The loving support Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon provide here is in a league of its own.
Thank you Nicole for sharing your story with us. It is truly inspiring and shows how we can turn our lives around – and change our health – by learning to take more care of ourselves in a loving way. As a previous comment says, this is a far more loving and natural way to pregnancy than having to turn to IVF.
Nicole, this is a great story to share with all. It shows very clearly just how powerful our choices are on our physical body, and how as you did, we can turn our lives around. Inspirational.
Wow, this blog is deeply touching. How amazing is that. This is another great proof how powerful we are just by making different choices. It´s really time to let everybody know that it is OUR CHOICES that determine our health and wellbeing.
Since I met Serge Benhayon for the first time I introduced a more self-loving way into my life with loving choices in regards to food, exercise, being with myself, going to bed earlier and can attest that I feel healthier and more vital than in my younger years. And I feel much more content and joy-full everyday. 🙂
It was evident to me in this blog that Nicole’s determination to see the truth and to make all necessary adjustments was there all along. It was the honesty and courage to act on it that was claimed. Of course, Universal Medicine confirmed this, and supported this, but that amazing strength is there in all of us already, and so this story is one of celebrating that and what we are all capable of. All my experiences with Universal Medicine have always come back to confirm the truth that we know it already and just need to claim it and live it.
Nicole, I see you as an incredible role model for all women. You are so practical and real that It’s easy for people to understand where you are coming from.
Nicole, thank you for sharing as what an inspiration you are. By simply choosing to take responsibility and making loving choices three miracles have occurred – how powerful and amazing is loving ones self.
What an absolute miracle and true joy to read this blog. At the end of the day, self-responsibility is the key.
With the ever increasing rate of Australian women unable to conceive in the 20’s and 30’s who are forced to resort to IVF treatment, Nicole’s account suggested that there may be another way worth considering.
‘ I had a choice: I could continue living the same way, and end up heading down the same path as the other females in my family, or I could change the way I lived and create a new way of being.’
Nicole it is so great that you took this choice. And the more people getting aware of this the less cancer and other illnesses need to increase. The steps of awareness that I was able to do in order to make different choices were deeply healing.
Thank you for this beautiful sharing. So many of us are caught up in our own ideals and beliefs we hold regarding having children. It’s an amazing story that can inspire others to makes those changes.
This is an amazing sharing about how much our bodies talk to us through illness and disease. It is very inspiring to read how listening to these messages, changes can be made that can help support ourselves and our bodies in a much more loving and caring way. And also how much can change from making more loving choices. Miracles then follow such as yours. Thank you for sharing your story with us all.
What a gorgeous and inspiring story, Nicole. Thank you for sharing yourself with us, and serving as an inspiration for others.
Thank you Nicole for sharing this story and showing us the power of our choices.
These blogs are filled with countless people who have made a choice to listen to what their bodies were saying and make some changes to their lives. The results are nothing short of miracles that are actually not miraculous, but simply show the power of our choice.
“It but simply shows the power of our choice” . I agree, Joel, the results are amazing, and yet a very ordinary story of ordinary people making different choices.
Nicole you clearly show what is possible when we commit to ourselves and take responsibility for our choices. You didn’t allow the medical diagnoses to rule your life, but saw it as a marker that something wasn’t right in your life, and as a result you are living a life of miracles. What I’m feeling after reading your blog is that we can all be living miracles when we take responsibility for our choices.
Hi Nicole, I cried after reading your beautiful blog. What I found very inspirational about your blog, is the dedication towards yourself and the support. Even though I am asking for support far more than I did in the past, I’m inspired by your commitment to yourself TOGETHER with the support you need. Thank you.
This is a living miracle Nicole! I wonder how many times we don’t make loving choices and miss out on miracles and make our lives harder than it already is! Timely Reminder. Thank you.
Great point Haresh, they are many miracles waiting to happen and it is our choices that can allow them to be so. Nothing is ever set in stone, and Nicole’s story of her pregnancy is a testament to a way of living choices that allowed for her miracles to be realised.
An amazing story Nicole, showing the power of our choices and how they can change our lives.
Time, patience and commitment. Thank you Nicole for sharing that when we allow these 3 things in our lives, miracles happen.
Wow, that sounds like a miracle. This it a testament to how effective the esoteric modalities are, along with the teachings of the ageless wisdom – because when the body, mind and soul are in harmony, true healing can occur.
What I love about this blog is the fact that Nicole clarifies that life is about choices, and that her connection to Universal medicine presents that.
A wonderful and inspiring experience that you have related and I am sure there will be many women and men who gain from this and take that journey to parenthood by taking extra care and effort to have a pregnancy, who may not have had much hope of achieving parenthood. Best wishes.
Nicole, This is such an amazing story. And is such an inspiration for women.
How we really are masters of our own lives. And we can change what is going on simply by the choices we make.
What an inspiring story! So often when couples find they cant have kids, they go into drive, determined to do whatever it takes to conceive. And yet you have shown that by changing the way you were with yourself as a woman, being more loving and caring with yourself you were able to have 3 children from normal, uneventful pregnancies. What a win-win situation. Even if you hadn’t become pregnant, you and all aspects of your life would have benefitted from making these changes.
I agree Fiona, its amazing that there wasn’t an ounce of “I must have kids”, but rather a commitment to taking care of herself, and from there 3 little miracles happened!
I agree, there was no attachment to having the kid.
Love that Rebecca. If we take care of ourselves – miracles happen. Worth to find out what miracles are waiting for us to discover…
Nicole, knowing you personally, I know what a vibrant and healthy woman you are, it is hard to imagine you as any different. This blog is wonderful for women to read, in that falling pregnant can be so important for many women, however many women struggle with what is considered a natural part of a woman’s biology, and many woman fall in to the trap of feeling like a failure for not being able to fall pregnant.
Thank you Nicole for testifying to the fact that we have so much more influence and impact on how our body is and performs then most care to admit. Our way of life, our relationship with ourselves and with the world around is is what is being shown through our body. Every choice we make, the quality of our movements, our thoughts and they way we move through life all have continuous consequences. If something is not ‘working’ or out of balance the key is to not look outside for solutions but to turn inwards and find the cause of the disharmony that lies at the root of this. Your blog is the lived evidence of the enormous changes this can bring.
What I have come to realise this time as I read your blog is yes the amazing changes you have made in taking responsibility for yourself and your choices, though what more comes to light is the almost other world we live in as a society, that the doctors through no fault of their own I may add, as they do an amazing job, and we all do see is see down a straight line. By this I mean we believe what we have been fed as we grow up, we assume it must be true and do not often stop and question “is there another way” is there something else, something different that can be done, what is really going on when each generation of the same family are ill with similar effects, could there be something more at play? What you have offered yourself and so many by the choices, understanding and the responsibility you took upon yourself as to how you were living has offered so many people a point to stop and reflect upon and an amazing opportunity to question what is really going on.
A lovely and honest sharing Nicole – a wonderfully healing blog to read for so many and a testimony to life choices over heritability!
What an amazing journey you have been on Nicole and what an inspiration you are to all women who might otherwise succumb to the notion that we have are powerless to our bodies, illnesses and dis-eases. We do have a choice and it’s never too late to make a positive change in how we live our lives and choose to be with one another. You are also a walking testimonial for proving if you are expanding your family for true purposes and not selfish ones, your body goes along for the journey despite age and illness. What a joy it was to read about your lovely and ever growing family.
An incredible story Nicole – miraculous! Your experience shows that our lifestyle choices do impact the state of our health. Amazing. Inspiring.
Nicole what a beautiful story, showing how our choices can create miracles.
What strikes me about this article is the honesty. The ability for the writer to share so openly about her own medical problems and past and to have taken full responsibility for the state that her body was in. I know that it can be difficult to always take responsibility for life’s challenges knowing that we always have a part to play in the out-play of our life; knowing that makes this writers article even more refreshing, in a world where it is the norm to blame others, life, society or even GOD/ the universe etc etc.
What an amazing community we would live in if we all were as honest and open about our life and our own responsibility in it. Well done Nicole and inspiration to many.
Truly amazing Nicole, and most deeply inspiring – especially in the way that yourself and your husband have approached having a child/children.
In taking such deep responsibility and considerations, as well as your own personal healing into account, your children are offered a wonderful foundation for life, that yes, as you have stated, they can be all of who they are.
Parents so willing to look at ‘how’ they parent, and embracing a child for all of who they are… well, it’s nothing short of inspirational. So fabulous that you are blogging what you have gone through in your body, and also your experiences and wisdom in parenting – this is ‘gold’, to be shared far and wide. Thank-you.
Such a beautiful and inspiring story Nicole. What I love about you blog is that I can feel that what you have offered here is available for every couple who are trying to fall pregnant. The depth of consideration you both gave to having children, a true privilege, honour, and great responsibility. It’s like you left no stone unturned rather than leaving it all in the ‘lap of the gods’ or pure luck. With what you have written I can feel the time you invested in your self and your relationship and how that was part of the many choices that you made to bring 3 beautiful children into the world.
Deeply honest and very very cool for you to share.
Against odds but with dedication to change we can see amazing things happen
Congratulations Nicole, on succeeding in having the family that you and your partner wanted, but also, on a deeper level, on embracing the huge healing that your soul desired and that you went through. You honoured your true Self and made the changes that only true courage could bring. Thank you for sharing..
Nicole I am inspired that you chose to learn to love and support yourself first instead of just having a child out of fear that you may not be able to. You (and your husband) are amazing examples of self love and nurturing for your children. What a wonderful foundation for their lives.
Dear Nicole, your story is inspirational. The power of love. That is a miracle.
What a wonderful blog Nicole, it proves that we have the power within us to turn our lives around if we start to make loving choices for ourselves and take responsibility for our own health and wellbeing. And congratulations on your 3 beautiful children!
You show the world that true miracles really do happen with our choices to care and love ourselves deeply enough to change how we live lovingly. Thank you for your beautiful inspiring story.
Wow- What an amazing miracle you have shown the medical profession and other women who are unable to conceive- that to truly take responsibility for your choices and seek another way- a more loving, nurturing way it is possible to get pregnant against all odds.
Isn’t it great how our bodies respond to the way we treat it/ourselves and can manage to regenerate and heal within a few years or sometimes months, if we consequently look after ourselves in a loving way?
Thank you Nicole
Your choice to choose you over the pull of society’s norms is inspiring. Another great story of claiming yourself and what can follow.
This really is amazing, Nicole. What I felt when reading this is that in our modern day world, the normal thing was to encourage you to conceive then and there… or IVF is presented as an option for women with other conception issues. Changing how you are living and how you are with yourself is not generally the recommended advice – yet you felt that was what you needed. By taking responsibility for how you were living and making changes in your life, you healed yourself in a way that the medical profession could not do for you.
I agree with you Brook, the normal attitude of the medical profession would be to advise you to have a baby quickly. Wouldn’t it also be great if they could accept that changing how one is living could assist greatly in the situation that is presenting.
I loved how you’ve truly wanted to take responsibility for your body and not just wait for illness to play out its course. You are living proof of how our every day choices can have an impact on the quality of our lives!
I love how you claim so clearly in this blog that taking responsibility for the way you are living and the choices you have made are crucial for your own healing and to make and real and lasting change in your life… and this is clearly illustrated by how you have then been able to seemingly, ‘defy’ what the doctors had thought was your potential future.
Your story of motherhood is so inspiring Nicole. You could have stayed with the belief that you were unable to conceive and instead you chose to connect to truth about your body and your relationships. You look amazing and your three beautiful children are a reflection of your loving choices.

Wow Nichole your patience and commitment in changing the way you were living is truly inspirational. Your story shows us that there is another way by making loving choices and committing to it everyday.
Thank you Nicole for the revelation that we can perform miracles when we take responsibility for our choices and to not see ourselves as being the ‘victim’ and that ‘all is hopeless’. It all begins with loving oneself first.
Thank you Nicole
I love this article and how it is written equally for all, for while not having children myself, your writing has encouraged me to reflect on how I interact with neices and nephews – plus all other children (and adults!) in my life – in a way that does not impose and allows others to simply be themselves.
And how wonderful that you have made the choices you have and sought support from Universal Medicine practioners from a place of “…knowing that I was the only one who could change how my life and my body was”.
Enjoy the third pregnancy and birth!
Wow Nicole, you have really gone against the odds. What a blessing that we all have this amazing opportunity for the choices we make for ourselves, our bodies, and our relationships.
This is very inspiring Nicole and what a wonderful gift to receive and be blessed with a gorgeous child… One from deep respect, care and love that you first gave yourself which then feed you back. Awesome.
Wow Nicole, thanks for sharing your inspiring story! I will never tire of hearing of the miracles that living a loving life and making loving choices can bring.
Thank you for sharing Nicole, I imagine that there are many women in the world who would give up and not realise that there is another way and that the way you live can have a massive effect on your chances of having children.
Thank you Nicole. A beautiful story about self care and nurturing that could have turned out so differently if you hadn’t been committed to being responsible for yourself. Congratulations on your 3rd pregnancy!
Nicole, this blog is so beautiful and the love and tenderness in your family is felt just by reading this blog. Your commitment to utmost responsibility and love in your relationship with your husband, your children, and how it all started – with yourself – is truly inspiring. Thank you Nicole – you are a true role model for many.

Thank you Nicole – you are a true role model for many.
Nicole, you are living proof that to face all the issues in your life with a desire to seek the truth always results in a harmonious way to live for the future.
I too came to a cross roads with health issues and wondered there has to be another way, when the medical profession are putting their hands up in the air and stating “we don’t know what is wrong with you.” What else can you do but search within when the outside world can not help and to search within means to feel all our choices, face all our fears and make choices for our future that support our well being. Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine have allowed so many of us to realise our true worth.
You got it in one Anita, when you so succinctly state…
“What else can you do but search within when the outside world can not help and to search within means to feel all our choices, face all our fears and make choices for our future that support our well being. Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine have allowed so many of us to realise our true worth”.
So true, and that “many of us” includes me, thank you Universal Medicine.
Wow! I was on the edge of my seat with that Blog Nicole! I can’t believe it…truly inspirational!
Great how this blog shows that how we live and care for ourselves makes everything possible.
I saw Nicole just before the birth of their 3rd child and no way would you had thought of any complications for her if fact she looked so amazing we thought ” That should should be documented” Now knowing the full history – Film crews get ready heres a true miracle
Wow- Nicole this is Amazing- thank you for sharing. Wow. Just incredible. I’m quite speechless, just feeling it all. You are a testimony to true change.
At the beginning of my pregnancy I felt a little bit ashamed that I hadn’t prepared myself as much as I felt I could, but the further the experience with the changes in my body went, the more I knew that I was prepared absolutely perfectly. With the support of Universal Medicine and the all the choices I made in the years before, my pregnancy was great and birth a wonderful experience. Thank you Nicole for posting this.
Lovely blog Nicole. I love the sense of the power of taking responsibility you convey and doing so has supported you to defy the odds in life. It occurs to me to say that when we embrace our true power we change the odds significantly and life responds to our choice. Very real and very inspiring – thank you.
Wow.. what an inspiring story! Well done Nicole – just shows how powerful self love & self nurturing really are.
Thank you Nicole for your inspiring story, it shows the power we have to turn our lives around when we choose to take responsibility for our selves and our choices.
Nicole, your story is so inspiring and I know that there are many women, and men, in the world who definitely need to read it. I particularly love the way you made the choice to look at, and work towards healing, all areas of your life, instead of just focusing on the parts of your body needed to “make” and carry a baby. Your choice to take responsibility for all areas of your life was certainly life-changing, and in turn, life bringing.
Such an inspiring story Nicole, you really highlighted the power that we have when we choose to take responsibility of our choices and the honesty that is required when we need to change ways that are not honouring of who we truly are.
My feelings too Francisco. ‘Taking responsibility for our choices and the honesty that is required’, is the key and what a result for Nicole and her family. Amazingly powerful, even if these changes don’t always result in a baby or 3, which they may not do for you Francisco!!
Thank you Nicole. The commitment and loving care you have for yourself and thus for others is deeply felt in your words and so very inspiring.
How we live our lives and how much love and care we take and give to ourselves have significant affects on our health. Thank you for posting this Nicole, it is out there now for lots and lots of people to find out that it is up to them to take charge of their own health, not up to doctors and specialists (but it is vital to have their support).
What an amazing reflection, Nicole, of how taking responsibility for our choices can profoundly change lives…and odds! To know as you say “…that if I had not made the changes in my life to support my body, take responsibility for my choices and to look deeper at all that I had chosen to avoid and bury in my life, things would have been very different.” Very different indeed.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful story! This is amazing and very good proof
how life can be changed by our choices !
This is a “miracle” !
Nicole, this is an amazingly beautiful story of how you changed your life around and now have a wonderful marriage and 2 (or 3 by now) beautiful children. It is a story that the medical profession needs to know more about, that even with the odds that you were originally presented with, you have been able to so easily conceive and give birth to 3 beautiful children. It is clear that the way that you changed the way you had been living, particularly as a woman, was the key. It is amazing how the body changes as we take responsibility for ourselves in all our behaviours ,especially developing self-love.
Thank you Beverly, yes it is 3 now and all equally as awesome as the other. None of which I am certain would of been possible without the changes and choices I made.
How lovely to read your life story and the choices you have made. It truly is about choices with which we can break the patterns found within our family line. You are a proof of that, by choosing differently. More so, by taking responsibility on such a level by working on your beliefs and ideals, you have provided your kids with an open path for them to walk on just by who they are. Wow!
I agree Caroline, the turn around not just in health is amazing, but so is the decision to be responsible from the start about children, talking about what would get in the way so that they can be who they are.
Nicole, this is a wonderful demonstration of the power of taking responsibility for one’s life. When we take charge and become fully aware of our choices we have the power to make changes and draw new circumstances to us. As soon as we blame another or give up, we think we are a victim of circumstances and these thoughts may draw to us what we fear will happen.
It all comes down to our choices and living with the responsibility of these choices.
What an amazing family.
So beautiful to read your inspirational story Nicole – Going against the odds and not letting others medical opinions or ideas stand in your way, but taking full responsibility for your body and the changes that you are capable of working with. Now that is commitment.
A truly inspiring article… Congratulations… It confirms in me that anything is possible through making the necessary changes in the way we are living. Thank you.
What an amazing turnaround. This must have blown your doctors socks off.
Thank-you for sharing your wonderful story and showing there is another way to move through situations in our lives that can be totally life changing.
What an incredible journey Nicole. Your children are a confirmation of the loving choices and responsibility you chose to take in your life.
Nicole, you are an amazing person. I love true life stories of people who have defied negative medical diagnosis and achieved unexpected results. We hear a lot of them and they are always so inspiring to consider a new approach to medicine. One that incorporates harmonising our physical, physiological and energetic quality.
Brava and Bravo for being living examples of a ‘medical miracle’ from which all may learn from.
Thank you for Sharing Nicole what a truly inspiring story for women
I love the comment regarding the choices you make as an ongoing commitment, it resonates deeply, a work in progress for me. Something I have learned later in life and still in application.
Wow Nicole you are an inspiration…I would say a miracle. It is so powerful taking charge of life and loving yourself so deeply that the changes you have initiated and continue to develop reflect just how incredible you are. I have seen how vital, amazing and a relaxed mother you are and continue to see this in all the students of Universal Medicine.
That’s a wonderful testimonial of the truly impactful way choices work. I’m really glad that I read this today, because it’s a solid reminder that every choice leads into the next and so-on and so-forth, until the present moment, where once again, it’s our choice as to what we do next and in what quality. Thank you.
I think your account Nicole proves how profound responsibly looking at how we live in every aspect of our lives can be on our health and well-being. The miraculous turn around you experienced in being able to have not just one but two healthy children and no difficulty at labour clearly has a lot to do with the support of Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine, the Esoteric Practitioners and the Esoteric modalities and any one else you sought help from in the lead up to, during and after your pregnancies.
Hello Nicole, I have the pleasure of knowing you and your beautiful family. The responsibility you took with your life in making a change I see continues today with the way you are with your family. You are a living example of ‘no matter what is said to you and where you are at, make the change and take responsibility for how you are and how you live and you never know what is possible’. You are a living miracle and your family is testimony to that. I wonder what would happen if we all took a leaf out of your book? Maybe the world would be turned upside down for the better, you certainly turned yours that way. Thank you Nicole.
Dear Nicole, your journey made my eyes become teary. It is not about the theme you picked on, as this causes many troubles and pain to couples who try to get a child. But more what I felt through your words is that ‘against all odds’ we are able to change our lives through different more loving and self-caring choices. If we are just willing to look deeper in to what is true or not in our lives.
We are used to seeing people changing throughout the year’s becoming ill, or just don’t look healthy and vital anymore. That is the normal.
But most people do not know that it is possible to reverse things which seem not reversible. As in your case and in many others. It is not only about illness, but also about relationships, friendships, family and work. Things can change.
So thank you for sharing your story with us.
An inspiring blog, not only from a medical perspective, but in the difference self-care and self-responsibility can make to all areas of our lives.
Beautifully written Nicole. You are a living miracle. At the age of 42, now with a new baby in the world, not only are you a mother to 3 beautiful children, but you are vibrant, lovely and extraordinarily look better than you did 20 years ago. You share a loving relationship with a very beautiful man and it is such a joy every time I see you both. You are an inspiration and a testament to the profound healing that is possible when self-nurturing, self-love and responsibility is brought into our lives.
Nicole, so there is about 2 months more to go until your 3rd child will be born. Not knowing you, being far away in Germany, I’d like to share with you the joy I’m feeling whilst I read your blog. We know how one single man like Serge Benhayon is capable of bringing light and love to the world. And you and your family had the power and made the choice to make the changes needed. And now you share this love with your husband and (soon) three kids. The power and the light of you and your family is felt here up North on the other side of the globe. It supports me to move forwards against all odds that I am confronted with here in Germany.
It’s truly inspiring to read that against all odds that the miracle of having and loving your children came from loving yourself first.
Beautiful to read.
What an amazing healing Nicole. Your decision to choose to nurture yourself and how it has turned around your life is truly inspiring.
I have tears of joy bursting forth reading this offering, knowing we have the power to take back control over our lives at any time.
Yes… it is very empowering to know, Jennifer from the example you gave in this article, that we actually have the power to take back control over our lives and are not helpless victims of what may “randomly” befall us.
Thank you Nicole for sharing this life changing story. I love what you write about the way you look at parenting “Both of us made the choice to commit to parenting without imposing or expecting our children to be anything other than who they truly were, growing up without feeling they have to be anything other than themselves.” What a beautiful foundation for children to grow up in.
Sadness I feel when reading this blog. The sadness of my own emptiness when ‘wanting’ to have a child.
So beautiful and inspiring Nicole that you spent 8 months of counselling with your partner before becoming a parent. To first deal with your own stuff.
I feel this is so important for all couples before they ‘have’ children.
What if evey doctor, when he/she knows a couple want to become pregnant he/she would offer a counselling program before they become pregnant? wow!
What an amazing transformation Nicole.
Thank you Nicole for sharing your story. I have a similar one, I was once diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome – which at the time I was told was untreatable, all I could do was manage the systems. Since too looking at all my choices and with the support of Esoteric Modalities I no longer have any of the symptoms of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome . I also use to have the most intense period pains, that often lead to a doctor needing to be called out to my home to treat me – I now not only have pain free periods, I actually enjoy and celebrate my periods, which is a miracle in itself as I use to hate them. Amazing how changing just a few things, such as diet, sleep and exercise can do for your life.
Taking responsibility for one´s own choices is truly empowering.
Thank you Nicole for reflecting this timeless truth.
Nicole, this is a beautiful story. Thankyou so much for sharing. Having spent some time with you recently I can feel the changes you have made are so supportive for you and your family. Goes to show we all have the choice to decide how we want to live. Our lives are not set in stone, against all odds of you being told different you took responsibility for your life and how amazing that has been for you.
Great sharing Nicole ,knowing its all about our choices in the way we live and our body reflects these choices, what you have shed light on is so empowering to us all .
Thank-you Nicole for this article, it is inspiring and living proof that if you choose to change the way you live your life and take responsibility and loving care of yourself the body will respond accordingly.
It is truly amazing when we become honest enough to want to begin to heal ourselves and make the steps back to love and harmony once again to our bodies.
Thank you Nicole for sharing your experience and I definitely believe life would not be any where near as wonderful as it is now without you making those choices. I can totally relate to your story in my own life as well.
Wow Nicole thank you for sharing this amazing story! This really demonstrates the power we have in making self-loving choices and the ability we all have to create miracles through our own self-healing if we choose to do so. Beautiful ❤️
Nicole – I have heard your story before in person and every time I hear it my heart sings. I love the warmth with which you share your life with us so that we all benefit. Going into a phase of my life where I may very likely have children I am surprised to feel all the fears that come up even with no history of medical issues such as those that you are speaking of. What you write is empowering for all women because when we make it about a loving and honouring our own bodies first that is a tangible step to take in preparing your body for pregnancy. And from what you have shared – a very successful one.
Thank you Nicole what a powerful testimony of what returning to a more self caring, self loving and lovingly responsible life can bring to one woman and her family – inspiring for us all. Imagine if we all took more loving responsibility for ourselves – the changes within ourselves, in our relationships, and in our society would be enormously positive. Its the simple presentations of Universal medicine and Esoteric practitioners that have helped me transform my body, life and relationships too. It seems so simple in this fast paced world – its all about true health and true medicine comes from living in a naturally more self caring way – taking loving responsibility for ourselves – in appreciation of ourselves, bringing us back to the love that we are- what a gift for us and everyone else.
Wow Nicole this a truly an incredible story! It really demonstraes the power our daily self-loving choices have on our lives and the power we all have to create our own miracles through self-healing.
This is such an inspirational story Nicole. It is such a testament to your dedication to taking responsibility for your own choices and thank you for sharing about the support you received during your pregnancies.
Wow, Nicole! I did not know this about you and today I spent lots of time with you… And absolutely loved it!! I love the way you are with kids and you really inspired me… You also a super hot mum, I would not have guessed you are 42, because you look absolutely amazing! What an inspiring story, thank you for writing about it
Thankyou for sharing Nicole. You story is very inspiring especially for other women with simular health issues.
Thank you for sharing your experience here Nicole about how you made loving changes in your life and the medical miracles that followed as a result. I love the ‘commitment’ you are your partner made to your children before they were born to support them to be who they truly are without imposition. I find this vow very inspiring and honouring to your children – both feeling and knowing that they have been brought into the world this way.
Dear Nicole on reading this blog, without all doubt the words that stand out to me are responsibility and commitment … from yourself not someone else. Often I still look outside myself for the answers to what I am looking for in life, when I know they are all inside and it is not what another can do or say, though support is needed at times and greatly appreciated. But truth be told, as so clearly shared and felt from your blog, that it comes down to me / us taking responsibility for ourselves and the choices we make, and making a loving commitment to that. Nothing arduous and hard but a solid, steadiness and loving commitment to truly being responsible for loving ourselves and the choices we make. And with that comes a natural joy and a want to be that way, you are living testament to this. Thank you.
Yes Mary, we always have a choice, in every moment, to either harm or heal. How inspiring is Nicole’s choice to make more self loving choices, and the then subsequent turn around of her health and life.
Knowing who you truly are and following that knowing with commitment, free of any agenda except to be true to that, has manifested in not only the beautiful family you have, but an inspiring gift to all that hear your story. To be the Love you are above all else and live that in the world is what it is all about and that is what you have and are doing. In Appreciation of this sharing – Thank You
Well done Nicole, lucky children.
Nicole, this is very powerful for women to read who have experienced or are experiencing a similar health issue. Thank you for sharing your story, showing how taking care and responsibility are the ingredients for changing the course of one’s life
A beautiful story of how the livingness simply changes lives. No miracle yet a miracle at the same time.
Thank you for sharing your story Nicole, it is a beautiful confirmation of how it is possible to turn our lives around simply by taking care of and responsibility for ourselves in every aspect of our lives.
Truly inspiring and completely gorgeous. Thank you for sharing Nicole, and giving everyone an opportunity to understand the power and importance of our everyday choices and WHY we are making them. I feel this is the key to really changing how we are with ourselves in each moment of our day.
What I find fascinating is your ability to work with the medical professions and make full use of the service they provided without taking on board anything outside the test results. You looked deeply within yourself and asked for support to clear away anything that was blocking you from honouring what you truly felt in you heart Nicole, including finding the man who would be with you all the way, bringing three beautiful children into the world. Just goes to show what a powerful foundation a woman can bring to a growing family.
This is truly inspirational Nicole and confirms that our choices of how we live do indeed change lives. One is never too old to make different choices – more loving choices for self and others.
Nicole what is so supportive about your story is that reading it, it goes against everything that I read growing up in the “gossip” magazines. The drama about pregnancy and you instead show that with loving choices and commitment to build that love for oneself anything is possible.
Good point David. Living without creating drama can seem on the surface to make life rather dull, but my experience is that it allows the connection to a deeper truth that was previously masked by said drama – a connection that is quite exquisite. Nothing dull in that!
What a beautiful story – thank you Nicole. A true miracle made possible by a simple return to harmony and a high level of self- regard. Inspiring.
Thank you Nicole for expressing how acknowledging and taking responsibility for your choices has made such a big difference to your life.
You are living proof Nicole, that when we take responsibility for our lives, be patient and nurture ourselves, face the challenges, knowing this is an ongoing and lifelong commitment, we can indeed perform ‘miracles’ and find our way back to love and healing.
This story is immensely powerful in many ways, thank you for sharing it Nicole. It let’s all women know that they can buck the trend of ill health by making changes in their lives. By looking deeply at how they live a day to day basis, but not with judgement but self care and love.
Nicole what you have shared is a game changer. You are living proof that our choices around the way we live and care for ourselves can change everything!
This is an amazing article to read and so inspiring. You are living proof of how our choices really do make our life and opens the gift of how changing these choices really can make a difference; as we realise the love we really are and then live it. Thank you – what a revelation and how beautiful for you all now as a family.
Great article, I love how it shows that making simple changes in your everyday life can change it hugely
It is great to read this Nicole, I love the way you knew at an early age you had to take that responsibility of choosing to make all those changes. And what a different outcome when you listened to your body, it’s a great example for us all to feel and see. We can all choose our own paths.
So simple and so powerful Nicole, ‘knowing that I was the only one that could change the way my life and my body was,’ a truly inspiring story and a great reminder that we can change our lives if we choose to.
“I know that if I had not made the changes in my life to support my body, take responsibility for my choices and to look deeper at all that I had chosen to avoid and bury in my life, things would have been very different.” I know this to be true for myself also, not in getting pregnant, but in the quality of my life now with very different outcomes than if I had continued with the old choices I used to make, many years ago. I thank Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine healing practitioners for inspiring me to choose a different way, with increased health and vitality now being apparent.
Nicole. What an inspirational person you are. What you have been through from a young age and making decisions that were right for you and now having a truely loving family around you.
This is beautiful Nicole, to share…thank you, so inspiring and affirmative. How our choices, dedication and commitment to these loving ways for ourselves, really does change our whole body’s functioning health and life. Simply amazing to read and feel the power we all hold inside.
Beautiful blog Nicole, it is very inspiring to read how you have taken the command for your health in your own hands and I can feel your dedication and commitment to life in it. Taking the responsibility for our life does brings us magic as you have shown, but also the way you and your husband have prepared yourselves by having counselling sessions sounds magic to me. You are showing a complete new way to us for preparing and choosing to have children.
“Beginning to look after myself and taking responsibility for my choices and the repercussions of those choices, constantly being open to more, knowing that I was the only one that could change the way my life and my body was, I gained an understanding of the choices I had made and why I made them and slowly I was able to change the way I lived”. Taking responsibility for myself has resulted in massive changes in my life too – not pregnancy for me (not possible or desired at my age!!) But better health and vitality and I’m a more loving person – to myself and to others.
It was lovely to revisit your blog and what I felt today when i read it was that the love you had for yourself when you fell pregnant was and is such a beautiful beginning for your children.
Many, including me would say that what you have shared here is a miracle, but what struck me is that this is a different (and true and very real) type of miracle, one that comes from within, from the choices you made, and how you lived, and not one that was somehow bestowed upon you. When many people seek or pray for a miracle, they are unaware that the themselves hold the key to making a true miracle happen.
This is so true Catherine, ‘When many people seek or pray for a miracle, they are unaware that they themselves hold the key to making a true miracle happen.’ And that it is actually incredibly simple, it’s all about how we live and how we are.
So true, Catherine – this is a miracle by choice, through taking responsibility and via the Esoteric Modalities and the amazing support Universal Medicine offers.
Yes, Catherine, I also feel the amazingness of this miracle where Nicole truly took responsibility for her choices and took care in order to introduce more and more love into her life.
Nicole,I love how you describe your journey of accepting more and more how you are worthy of love. Love is a life changer. This I am also playing with and learning how to allow and accept more love in my daily life and what kind of miracles develop out of this choice.
Absolutely correct Catherine, indeed Nicole has shared an incredible miracle, one that has not been ‘bestowed upon’ her, but has occurred only because she committed to building a loving relationship with both her and her body.
I agree Susie – she didn’t wait for someone to do something for her, she made the changes and from that a miracle occurred.
Wow Nicole. That is beautiful. The choices you made had a direct correlation to the functions of your body. This is all common sense but it is surprising how much this obvious fact is ignored.
“I had a choice: I could continue living the same way, and end up heading down the same path as the other females in my family, or I could change the way I lived and create a new way of being.” – this is inspiring Nicole, as you have brought it back to how you live, instead of blaming it on the DNA. As a result of this, you were actually able to get pregnant not once, but 3 TIMES, against all odds. Amazing
‘I knew something had to change; it was the ‘what’ and ‘how’ that took time.’ Nicole a great story of how you turned your life around. Very inspiring and a clear example of how powerful and healing simple choice can be.
What an inspirational story, it is just beautiful to read how both you and your partner have taken and still do, the responsibility that comes with becoming pregnant and receiving a child. Your commitment is very much felt and i find this very beautiful. It gives a different light to parenting and what it truly means. Thank you.
I agree – its amazing how responsibly they approached having children.
This is an inspiration to read, how you went against the odds to conceive 2 times and expecting a third.
It is amazing Ben, such an inspiration for so many woman out there.
Your story of how you changed your life and became a medical miracle is truly inspiring Nicole. I have just read your blog in Women in Livingness (http://womeninlivingness.com/?s=Nicole+Serafin&submit=Search) about your 2 pregnancies and the love and care you took with yourself and how this supported you and the baby with each pregnancy. You are a true inspiration to show that through listening to our bodies and making loving choices we can change our lives, and you are very much testimony to this, thank you Nicole.
This is a truly amazing sharing of how you changed and healed both yourself and your life by your choices against all the medical odds and is such a joy and inspiration to read and highlights our responsibility in everything we choose and how we live. Thank you, Nicole.
Your loving commitment to healing yourself shines through this inspiring blog. Thank YOU.
Every choice is an opportunity, every detail is a moment for transformation. Nicole, you have shared so sweetly and practically our responsibility and power. Thank you.
Nicole this is such a powerful story of how our lives are completely connected with how we choose to live. “I had a choice: I could continue living the same way, and end up heading down the same path as the other females in my family, or I could change the way I lived and create a new way of being.” This statement refers back to the ultimate – we have choices and equally so we therefore have consequences. Thank you for sharing, it really lays open the fact that we are our own healers.
Well said, Lee, I agree. Our healing really is in our own hands, and if we were all to embrace that fact, doctors would have a much less stressful job to do.
I agree Janet, and it feels amazing that our healing is in our own hands, and we don’t have to give our power away. How awesome would it be for a doctor to feel this when we go to visit them, that we have taken care and responsibility to such a level that they have a strong and loving foundation to work with.
Such simple, powerful truth Lee, ‘Nicole this is such a powerful story of how our lives are completely connected with how we choose to live.’
So well said Lee, and Nicole – such truth, ” I could change the way I lived and create a new way of being.” so simple, and the choice is in our hands, no one else’s, what an amazing gift of self responsibility.
I loved reading how you chose to diligently and lovingly pay attention to all that your body was showing it needed attention to, and then to honour what you felt was required. As you said “continuing to deal with, take responsibility for, and change the way I was living”.
I know that even if you did not become pregnant, this way of living would have brought many outcomes that would still be magical. Whatever is presented by life it is easier to embrace, appreciate and unfold with it. And how awesome that your unfolding resulted in gorgeous children. Thank you for your story.
A great point Golnaz, I can see that with what you are saying it’s not about the end Goal of becoming pregnant – that is an amazing confirmation but it’s foremost the change in way of living that would ensure whatever happens – life would be more magical and joyful with or without the added blessing of children.
Thank you, Nicole, for showing us that you can rewrite your future by consistently choosing love. What is more powerful than that?
Thank you Janet, and Nicole, for sharing that yes, we can rewrite our future by consistently choosing love. A great reminder, as so often, this can be forgotten at times (I know I have), and that every moment is down to the choices we make and even thoughts we have , whether they loving or not. So if something is not great we have the power to change that.
What an amazing story of the changes and the new lives you have brought into the world with a deep integrity, commitment and love as a result of knowing Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. Truly Inspirational.
A beautiful call for us all: to appreciate the power of taking responsibility and know that nothing is set in stone….our choices can change everything, moment by moment.
In our evolution there is no room for wallowing in self-pity or victimhood.
Gorgeous Matilda, ‘A beautiful call for us all: to appreciate the power of taking responsibility and know that nothing is set in stone….our choices can change everything, moment by moment.’ I find what you have written here very inspiring.
Nothing is set in stone – we have in every new minute, a choice which can change everything. To apply these words in life is very empowering, Matilda.
“our choices can change everything, moment by moment.” so very true
Thank you for sharing your story. A great confirmation that taking responsibility for our life and making loving choices works wonders.
By taking responsibility and making the changes to look after yourself, the whole path onwards changed with your new choices. How amazing is that – to realise we have the power to do that, that’s incredible, Nicole.
It sure is incredible Gil, and as hard and uncomfortable it is at first to start looking at what you are being irresponsible about, once you start to make those changes that you naturally feel are true, you can feel the difference immediately.
I also feel your experience is another great example of the successful marriage of conventional medicine and Universal Medicine.
Great point mmryan; this is an incredible example of how Universal Medicine works hand in hand with conventional medicine.
Very well said mmryan and yes another living proof of the great success of Universal Medicine and conventional medical practices, a great marriage of true health and well being that can support all.
This is an amazing article Nicole, thank you it is a gift for everyone showing the strength of our choices ,true self nurturing, love and its miracles.
Beautiful Nicole, your article has just been endorsed by the new arrival of your beautiful daughter, living confirmation of the power of Love in all its lived expressions. Congratulations and celebrations to you and your awesome family.
I agree Rowena; Nicole’s son is a blessing for this world.
A beautiful confirmation of the power of self-nurturing. A true love story.
That’s lovely Mary and very true, Nicole’s story is one of true love and commitment to life.
Wow Nicole, such a fantastic article. I am very inspired. By making true choices you turned your life around and have 3 miracles to prove it!
Thank you Nicole, it was lovely to read your blog this morning and it was a great reminder to me that commitment to developing a loving way of being never stops, it is forever deepening.
I love this blog as it shows that nothing is set in stone if we start making the right choices.
Well said Kevin, it is our choices that pave our way and therefore the responsibility is ours.
I completely agree, using circumstance as an excuse for the way things have gone in one’s life seems to me like a way of denying a responsibility we all hold when making choices.
Exactly Kevin – we can change the way we have been choosing to do things at anytime…It’s is never to late!
No drum role or fanfare just the magic of God and miracles simply shared. Thank you, Nicole.
Totally agree, Matilda – everyday miracles!
The power of our choices is proof with your amazing blog. One or two amazing stories in the past would have been given credit to being miracles performed by God. We are the miracles of God and what we do with the vessel is our own choice. We have all just forgotten that we have the power in our choices to perform miracles on ourselves and be a reflection to others of what they can do.
I love what you have contributed here, SJ. We are miracles of God – first, before anything and indeed it is his Love for us that allows us the freewill of choice; either “to be or not to be” in the vessel we are in. The power is as you say, in our choices. For me, embracing the miracle we are is what we are here on Earth for.
Thank you, sj, this is a beautiful sentiment that captures the power of what can happen when we accept where we come from.
I agree Janet, “what can happen when we accept where we come from.” that made me smile.
I love what you have expressed SJ and Peta. We are miracles of God and as part of that miracle we have a choice how to use the vessel we are in, and we have forgotten how to embace the miracle that we are and express that in our lives. But slowly one by one we are all waking up to the fact that we are far more than what we have settled for.
Yes! So often we make choices which do not have an immediate outcome, but all choices have a consequence which will play out at some point. If the outcome is one we like, we often call it “luck”, and if it is one we don’t, we look to the sky and ask, “why is this happening to me?” Either way we give up the responsibility we have for our lives and the power that we have to make these choices alongside God.
I agree Steve we are miracles of god and it’s so true that in the past these would have been seen as miracles, over time we have learnt to become less appreciative of our lives, all that they stand for and what they reflect
What an amazing testimonial of commitment to the way you live, to not fall for ideas and beliefs and just feel your way through life.
What is touching me, Nicole, is the honesty in your article. You so lovingly describe how step by step you change your life having lots of support and treatments with Universal Medicine practitioners, that it takes time to get rid of ideals and beliefs in order to be more loving, but also that it is worth it.
I agree Kerstin the honesty and love is palpable, a true inspiration. So often we get told when we reach a certain age or for some other reason we can’t have children, this blog just shows the absolute lived possibilities of what can happen when we choose to take responsibility and self-love, our lives, health and well-being can turn around.
An amazing blog and an absolute statement of fact, that changing your life through the inspiration and support of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine can change your life. Building the acceptance of so much more love in your life and for people who come into contact with you. Thank you for sharing.
I agree Samantha, some of the stories people have to tell, like the one above, are amazing examples of how people can change their lives with the right support.
This is a brilliant example that we have the power within us to make choices which can change our lives forever – in a good way or a bad way and that we are not at the mercy of our circumstances.
What I have read here feels so natural, so beautiful. The wonderful way you have lived – with patience, commitment and giving yourself the time to heal, is truly inspirational. How easy it would’ve been to acquiesce to the way the doctors saw things progressing and to give up? This to me is testimony to the work of Universal Medicine, for the doctors are only responding to what they typically see….and this is anything but a typical story, for you took responsibility for your own healing and are leading the way forward for so many. Perhaps your amazing relationship with yourself and your body, your husband and children is paving the way for an equally wondrous marriage between conventional Western medicine and Esoteric Medicine as delivered by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine practitioners.
I agree Peta, when we take responsibility for our bodies and our health, and then go to medicine for support or help, true health can be created.
That is absolutely spot on, Rebecca – imagine what state the health services would be in if we all started taking this responsibility as our focus and started to truly look after ourselves. They wouldn’t be sinking and drowning in the debt that they are all in.
I agree Natalie – governments are seeking a solution to the currently flawed system that is haemorrhaging money, and it can be found in this simple blog – self responsabilty first, from which comes a true care for your health and a supportive partnership between patient and doctor, not an unequal one based on results, relief and demands for better health.
I fully agree with what you have said here, Rebecca.
Well said Peta, doctors only reflect back to us what they are presented with, ailments that commonly arise from our lack of care and concern for ourselves and our bodies. When we choose to self care and nurture ourselves, we present doctors with an entirely new proposition, we offer them an opportunity to support an already loved and cherished body, even if we are or have been very ill. Our bodies have an incredible power of regeneration and healing given the correct support and Nicole is evidence of this power. Universal Medicine supports the individual to care and nourish themselves on all levels. Western Medicine offers us amazing opportunities to support our bodies to heal, recover or curtail illness or injury, so marry the two disciplines together and its a match made in Heaven.
A beauty-full summary of how true vitality, leading to being able to become pregnant against all odds, can be achieved by taking full responsibility of our life choices with the help of western medicine and support and healing from Universal Medicine – very inspiring!
The story you have shared with us is also inspiring from the point of view that it is wise not to make judgements of others as we never know what their experiences are nor the choices they have had to make.
This is a great point, Michelle, thank you. We are all unique because we have made countless choices that all form who we are today and what we are here to learn.
Lovely mmryan, the judgements we hold about others, in truth hold ourselves.
Joel, you’ve expressed this truth so brilliantly. Yesterday I remember having some ugly judgmental thoughts about a couple of women I’d got talking to. If I’d have paid heed to them I wouldn’t have been blessed by the beautiful connection we shared, that ended with joyful laughter that stayed with me. I was truly blessed by their open heartedness.
My judgments certainly don’t allow me to be the love that I am, or allow me to feel the love that others are.
Great point Joel. When we judge others, we must have judged ourselves first. That feels awful, like putting myself in a box and closing the lid.
I agree, and we also never know what choices they are capable of making and the changes that can result
It is a total power that is ours to choose to have, and pretty amazing to feel that. The self responsibility is huge and your description of how this has been for you, is awesome Nicole
Nicole this is amazing and shows what real responsibility, caring for ourselves and how we live can really do and creates miracles thank you for the inspiration.
Nicole, your story is truly inspiring and the power is in our own hands. Choosing to take responsibility for the way we live and how you have shared is the only way forward for a truly vital, healthy and loving life. Thanks
I love the way you have shared this Nicole. What truly inspires me is how you addressed all your beliefs, ideals and expectations in relation to having children and how that should be so you could allow your children the grace to be who they truly are – WOW! – now that’s a miracle!
Having witnessed the monthly roller coaster ride of friends trying to get pregnant, it is so inspiring to read of the approach you and your partner have taken…and the outcomes. ‘against all the odds’ – time to question who is really writing these odds anyway?
Re-reading this blog I am touched by the level of self-responsibility you have committed to, Nicole, and that this is what can turn lives around to the point that our physiology changes. Thank you for sharing this amazing story.
An amazing article, expressing how we don’t have to be bound by our genes. Our choices do make such a huge difference. Miracles can happen.
I heard someone recently ask an Esoteric Practitioner “Why should I go to all the trouble to take care of and love myself? It’s ‘JUST ME’!” and the practitioner answered “You have to start somewhere.”
I love this answers simplicity. We all know there is no better place to start than with self…don’t we? How else can we know HOW to truly care for, love and deeply nurture or what it even feels like if we have not yet experienced it or given it to ourselves to truly know?
‘We all know there is no better place to start than with self…don’t we? How else can we know HOW to truly care for, love and deeply nurture or what it even feels like if we have not yet experienced it or given it to ourselves to truly know?’ This is great Jo and demonstrates how it really IS NOT selfish to look after and care for oneself.
Nicole,
You are living the truth that self love heals and, how when we do self love, we then have the Love & live the Love and so can share it with everyone around us. I am deeply moved by the fact that you (and your husband) have freed yourselves to share your love and well being NOW with your miraculous THREE children! …as well as by example, to ALL those around you.
Thank you for taking up the courage, commitment and consistency to do so!
A beautiful blog which only goes to show the power of taking responsibility for ourselves and the awareness of our choices.
That’s incredible Nicole – your story proves that the choices we make on a day to day basis matter so much more than our so called ‘Genes’ or DNA.
I agree Susie, it just goes to show how our epic genetics – the way our DNA is coded because of our life choices, is far more powerful then our inherited genes.
Great sharing Nicole. There is so much that we can accomplish if we express from the truth of our love.
Wow Nicole this is truly inspirational and shows what true miracles are and that we have our part to play in them. Changing your life, taking responsibility for every aspect in how you live, healing your body and looking at all the ideals and beliefs we carry is transformational as you are living proof of and so are your children.
With the support from Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine their gift to us all is simply amazing and as you clearly show – Miraculous. It pulls apart what we are all told to believe about what can or cannot happen to us if we choose love and responsibility as the way.
Thank you for sharing your story for everyone to be inspired by.
A great lesson in life Nicole. Thank you for showing how miracles can happen.
And when we consider that everyone can also follow in your steps, it becomes obvious that those miracles are in fact “the normal” that we have lost touch with, simply because we have lost touch with the way of life that makes them possible. But just as you have, we can all return to that way of living a deeply loving and honouring life.
You are right Golnaz, “those miracles are in fact “the normal” that we have lost touch with, simply because we have lost touch with the way of life that makes them possible.” If we all connected to a more supportive way of living and looked at the choices we made day to day, life would be experienced very differently for all of us.
So true it really is about taking responsibility for our daily choices. As the miracles are really the norm that we have just lost touch with.
Beautifully said Golnaz, we have lost touch with what is truly normal. Nicole has demonstrated that re-connecting to what is normal within her and living that normality results in a normal and problem-free pregnancy and labour. We all have the potential to live normal lives, as Nicole has shown us, we just have to put the work in.
Love the way you expressed this, Glonaz. Life could be very different if we did accept how amazing it could be.
This is an inspiring article to anyone who thinks they have inherited certain genes and they can’t change the pattern of how their health or ill health may develop The genetic make up is there but how we live is our choice and that makes ALL the difference as your example has shown; that is amazing, Nicole.
Absolutely Gill. “The genetic make up is there but how we live is our choice and that makes ALL the difference”. What a beautiful confirmation of this in your life Nicole, incredible! I loved reading this article.
Not only is it a powerful confirmation that our choices make a huge difference to our physical beings, but also you highlight the absolute commitment you and your husband had to exploring things before your pregnancy – its not a quick fix looking for a result, but actually changing the way you live. Beautiful, and the kids are blessed to have such parents.
Yes, it is an uncommon approach and what an amazing example of true parenting, where both parents committed to dealing with their issues prior to embarking on life as a parent, instead of working them out on the hoof and on the kids, so to speak. Such an inspiring demonstration of true responsibility, and yes, the kids are very blessed to have such awesome parents.
This is a beautiful blog that stands as a true testament to what is possible because of the power of Love, and loving choices such as
* Choosing to love oneself first and making choices in life that are truly loving
* Living that love so a beautiful and true relationship with another is possible
* Looking at any issues that stops you as partners truly living in harmony together
* Dealing with any life issues by “addressing our ideals, beliefs, expectations or anything we may have felt to do with having a child, our relationship with ourselves, as well as with each other”
* Accepting parenthood with open hearts and living as a example of what true parenting in a loving family is, so others around can see and feel how different this is from the usual way life currently is lived by so many.
* Celebrating the joy of the normalcy in this way of living – simply because of one’s deep commitment to live Love.
Love it!
You have shown, Nicole, how the root cause of our physical problems, whether it be the difficulties of conceiving and birthing or cancer, is about how we choose to live our lives, and how in taking full responsibility for those choices, which may include participating in Western Medicine to support us. We can truly heal in a way that Western Medicine does not understand, and change our own history. An amazing story to encourage all to make the choice and not continue to be content with old ways of being that lead to continual illness.
This is a truly beautiful blog Nicole, and an incredible story. What a testament to you. It really does go to show the impact of taking control and responsibility of your choices every minute. Enjoy your 3rd 🙂
An inspiring blog, thank you, Nicole. I am touched by the life-full simplicity with which you express and take joyful responsibility for yourself and all.
Thank you Nicole for sharing this and showing us all that we do not need to be held by any ideal or belief that may try to get its hands on us, the pressures that can be placed on women today to not only have children but to have them in and by a certain age is everywhere and so a refreshing story to know someone whom has not got caught in these pressures and instead found a way to live a life based on what is true for you.
Hi Nicole, it is beautiful to feel how you and your husband committed so strongly to working together and being open to looking at any areas that needed to be healed within yourselves and your relationship. This is really inspiring.
Nicole your blog is truly inspirational and will be such a support for many women who have experienced cancer. An amazing story that needs to be written in the medical records and studied as there is much that can be learnt from experiences.
I agree Alison – this should definitely be written down in medical records and used as a study.
Wow, what a remarkable story Nicole. You shown the powerful healing that making simple changes to the way you lived and your commitment to this made. Very inspiring.
It’s indeed amazing and completely the opposite of what we read about in the papers and hear about on the news. As you say its very inspiring.
“I knew something had to change; it was the ‘what’ and ‘how’ that took time, patience and commitment. I looked at every aspect of my life – making choices in how I ate, the times I went to bed, the way I socialized and who I socialised with, as well as the way I was at work.”
What I find remarkable Nicole is not only how you describe that by taking loving and caring responsibility in every aspects of our life, we can support our bodies to heal the past, but equally amazing is how you took so much responsibility to prepare with your partner before getting pregnant.
Looking at your relationship, the ideals and beliefs you held around parenthood and what else could be in the way of allowing your child to just be themselves – without any expectations and impositions you might have carried from undealt-with hurts, was/is deeply loving and shows a deep sense of responsibility.
This is inspiring indeed and you are a true role model for other future parents. Thank you for your on going all-encompassing commitment to live your life in a healing way for all. Awesome!
Yes, I noticed that as well Sarahschuerch2, there was a real commitment to Nicole healing with her partner as well as taking responsibility for life and choices.
Well said Sarahschuerch2, Nicole has deeply connected with the enormous responsibility of parent hood. It demonstrates just how much she cherishes being a woman, being a mother and having children. To seek to tackle all the ideals and beliefs there are about parenting before you have a child is immensely inspiring. As you say, Nicole is now choosing to live in a way that is healing for all and it is totally awesome!
I agree Sarahschuerch2, I was deeply touched and inspired by the dedication required to not just have a child, but prepare for bringing in to this world a life, precious and worth cherishing with every cell.
Yes amazing Sarah. ‘An all-encompassing commitment to live life in a healing way for all’.
This is an amazing account of how you are living and what is possible when you make more self loving choices. It just goes to show that these serious conditions we have can be turned around and do not have to have the predicted outcomes.
Thank you for sharing your incredible story Nicole and the incredible life you now lead. The level of love and commitment towards to your own healing is amazingly inspiring.
Beautiful and very inspiring sharing Nicole. Your story should be printed and be in the waiting rooms of hospitals for others to learn from!
I love your openness in writing: ‘I was great at placing everything and everyone else first, so taking time for me and truly looking after myself was a challenge. Knowing I was worth this loving care and nurturing took time for me to accept.’ Such a big changing process is not only about making other choices, but also about giving ourself time to unfold the new ways of living step by step.
Very beautifully put Monika, making such changes is a step by step process and it is important that we give ourselves time and encouragement along the way. To turn around a life time of putting others first and learning to cherish and love ourselves first does not happen overnight. However, consistency and commitment pay off and before you know it, you have established a new rhythm in the day to support this ever deepening process. Nicole has shown us all just how powerful this process is and what incredible results can occur as a consequence.
It is a sad how we can make taking care of ourselves so foreign that we place others needs first and foremost but the cost to all is so very great and can come with health issues like the ones Nicole mentions. It is really encouraging reading articles like this one and it will be awesome when we turn the equation around, placing our own self care and worth central to our healing and loving.
Great point Vanessa; what would the world look like if we placed our own body and self care as an equal importance to other people’s needs?
Beautiful Nicole, your article proves beyond all doubt that our health lies fully in our hands. To be able to make choices that have supported your body to go through pregnancy and labour trouble free is impressive, but add your past history of cancer and the operations to the mix and this turns your experience into a miracle. You are living proof that universal medicine is about taking responsibility in how we live our life every day and how we care for ourselves and that when we do, miracles can occur quite effortlessly.
This blog serves to show just how powerful is the outcome of being truly responsible for each and every choice we make, particularly when you’re up against the odds. One child could be regarded as a fluke by the sceptics, but three is most definitely a pattern and one that is worthy of study and research so that others can benefit from your experience, knowledge and wisdom.
I had to smile, and not to take anything away from the important example you are setting – its also a pattern that you are obviously enjoying yourselves!
Absolutely Cathy; Nicole’s 3 children are not just ‘flukes’ – they are medical miracles.
Truly inspiring, Nicole – how beautiful to read about your commitment to a love that was deeply honouring of your body.
Truly inspirational Nicole, sharing how our choices and commitment to making changes in our lives can bring about miracles, as Lucy says, 3 of them! A gorgeous heartwarming blog.
Thank you Nicole for sharing your experiences with us and showing us a way to live and be with ourselves to overcome circumstances that may seem against all odds. At 42 with your third child is amazing given what you were told at 28. I have been fortunate enough to be witness to the glow and joy I see and feel in you within this pregnancy and you could easily still pass off as 28!
A truly inspirational article Nicole, such a beautiful sharing, I love how you write. Given that science now understands the effect of a cell’s micro environment on tissue function and as the comments before have said, it would indeed serve well to study this miracle.
Thank you for all the amazing comments, we are all leading the way to change not only the way we live but all humanity. Living by example for others to feel and know there is more than that which thus far we have chosen, learning to trust, question, and discern for ourselves what is true and what is needed in each and every moment. I am now due to have our 3rd child any day now, yet another amazing pregnancy and one that without the support and sharings of Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine, it’s practitioners and an ongoing commitment to myself would never had of been possible.
Our lives are truly medical miracles.
Beautiful Nicole, ‘we are all leading the way to change not only the way we live but all humanity. Living by example for others to feel and know there is more than that which thus far we have chosen, learning to trust, question, and discern for ourselves what is true and what is needed in each and every moment.’ Wow deeply inspiring, thank you.
It’s most certainly a living miracle worth studying – if we stopped and started to learn to trust again what we feel is true in each moment many more miracles would be seen.
Fantastic Nicole, it really is one of the many miracles that are being lived. Enjoy your next miracle about to arrive physically in your home!
Your love and commitment Nicole is truly inspiring, thank you from all of humanity.
Nicole, wow, your story is really one for the medical books and needs to be studied. The stand out for me is your absolute commitment to taking responsibility for yourself and and your choices in every area of your life – and I can feel in your approach a dedication to doing that no matter what, with no ties to outcome, and a willingness to keep looking, refining and changing as needed. Thank you – you’ve inspired me hugely today to continue to look and deepen my love and care.
I agree, Monica – medical study knows diseases and illnesses inside and out, but how often do we hear reports of studies being carried out on healthy people to find out how they are so healthy? This case is definitely one for the books!
Yes we spend so much time studying the ill and diseases, needed yes, but we’re forgetting what the true measure of wellness is in the process – if we were to also study the well and truly vital, then we could bring something else in, a way for all to consider another way of living and being which is working, and make it about more than just managing a disease.
‘How often do we hear reports of studies being carried out on healthy people to find out how they are so healthy?’ – Excellent point, Cheryl; surely we should be researching how to avoid/live without disease and illness rather than waiting for it to occur and then taking action.
It’s inspiring how differently to the mass society you have approached parenthood. Looking at ideals, beliefs and issues – BEFORE getting pregnant, not -because- you got pregnant is refreshingly different. I haven’t had any children, nor do I feel it will be soon, but should it come along in my life, I’ll know there is another way it can be beautifully done. Thank you for sharing, Nicole.
Yes, it’s a great way to begin parenting well before you conceive! It has clearly had an incredible impact on Nicole’s body and undoubtedly on all those around her as she is parenting from just accepting and loving herself.
Absolutely this is beautiful.
That’s very true Cheryl – majority of people can totally freak out when something like getting pregnant happens, but what Nicole so cleverly did was she prepared herself for parenthood even though it may never have happened, so when the time did come she didn’t feel overwhelmed by what was going on.
“For me, the key has been continuing to deal with, take responsibility for, and change the way I was living – looking at every aspect of my life”.
On reading this blog again, I feel inspired to look at an aspect of my life that has been made of less importance – until now!
I love how all the blogs written express on one particular topic and this leads to so many other topics being exposed to bring responsibility to.
Thank you Nicole, for the exposure that ‘every aspect of my life’ is part of the whole in whatever form it presents itself – a completely different way to view my paperwork!
Thank you for sharing your story Nicole, truly amazing. It shows how much the choices we make on a daily basis impact our life.
What a beautiful sharing and amazing turn around for youself, with the commitment you put into your selfcare. Very inspiring to women in similar situations who have struggled to have children.
Nicole your story is proof that we are able to alter what we have been told is our probable outcome. Self nurturing makes life simple.
Yes, so true sjmatsonuk, we can alter our probable outcomes if we really want to. Altering the ‘probable’ means taking responsibility for creating the probable in the first place, not an easy thing to take responsibility for, but as Nicole has shown us, there are amazing and miraculous results when we do.
Quite simply amazing. As has been said, you’re experience is one for the medical books! It is a paradigm breaking account of what is possible through some very simple and yet profound choices about how to live your life, and choose what it will be.
I agree, yes Nicole…this is one for the medical books and it needs to be a case study. So much can be learned from your sharing and you rewrite what is humanly possible based on our current knowledge of medicine today. Your lived experience shakes up the medical world to other possibilities.
Absolutely Naren, this is one for the medical books! No-one would believe this which is why it would be great to be documented. A beautiful example of how powerful our choices are.
Nicole your story is hugely inspiring and not just for those looking to conceive. Your commitment to healing and making the changes necessary to bring that about, resulting in nothing short of a modern miracle (3 of them!)… as others have expressed here too, it is blazing a trail for others to follow. Thank You.
I completely agree that Nicole’s story is a medical miracle, one that didn’t come from a bottle of cream or surgery, but from a commitment to living in a way that is loving. And as you have said Lucy, it is not just inspiring for mothers wishing to conceive, but for everyone who wants to make a change in their life.
This is really inspiring Nicole, thank you. You’ve showed how taking responsibility for ourselves is medicine.
Yes, this a profound example of how being responsible for our self in our life and making loving choices has a huge impact – a very powerful medicine.
Definitely, a great example here of how ‘medicine’ isn’t only pharmaceuticals or visiting health professionals.
Nicole, your story is miraculous and I love the level of responsibility you hold for yourself and the choices you make in life.
Nicole, I feel that you have shown here the power of what is possible when we begin to listen to our bodies and take responsibility for everything that has happened in our lives. I have been reminded lately of just how this works with various family issues, and every time I blame someone else for something negative that happens, I then have noticed how it was really just the other person reflecting back to me how I had not approached the relationship with the level of love and understanding that I could have. Your story Nicole is incredibly inspiring for anyone, and especially people who have bought into negative predictions about their health.
This is great Michael, ‘I blame someone else for something negative that happens, I then have noticed how it was really just the other person reflecting back to me how I had not approached the relationship with the level of love and understanding that I could have’, I too have been noticing this with my family lately and that the more loving I am, the more love is reflected back to me, thanks for the reminder Michael.
Thank you Michael and Rebecca for your reflections – it feels so much more supportive when I am open to what is truly happening in my life, as I can then step back and see life without the blinkered protection of guarding myself. For so long I have lived my life from ‘my point of view’ without the willingness to see and feel what is really going on. When we change we are then able to approach ‘the relationship with the level of love and understanding’ that is open and honest.
This is SO powerful Michael…
…”how I had not approached the relationship with the level of love and understanding that I could have.” This is pure gold, Michael. It’s so easy to look out and blame another, but there is always something there for us to look at within ourselves. And as you say the future need not be a negative one.
A great point here which reminds me of a little phrase someone once said to me when I was talking about something someone else was doing that annoyed me: “Mirror mirror” (What is that other person showing me about myself that I don’t want to see?)
This blog speaks volumes about living with absolute commitment, dedication and responsibility, and not wavering. It is truly beautiful.
It sure does Catherine, volumes that need to be studied as it is going against all odds. What Universal Medicine presents is extraordinary and this is just one of hundreds of examples where The Way of the Livingness is turning upside down the so called ‘normal’ way of living that is clearly not working when we look at the increase of illness and disease. If we have today people that are changing these statistics and turning it upside down, surely this is worth investigating and studying? Surely it is time for change? I had experienced in my life that how I was living was not working and this has turned around – now each day I love feeling vital, healthy and joyful.
Miracles are great to share, congratulations and thank you Nicole.
Wow, what you have shared Nicole is so very inspiring and an amazing example of how we live with ourself has a big impact on our health and how the body works. This is an absolute testimony to how conventional and esoteric medicine can work together. Thank you for sharing.
Wow Nicole what a truly beautiful story. You’re an inspiration to me – I am 34 and have shied away from having kids as being one was so not great for me…. I’ve wanted to put myself first and have feared that by the time i’ve actually achieved the level of self love required to have a healthy baby, it would be too late for me. You’ve shown me I have ages yet so long as I dedicate to myself… Sessions to eliminate all ideals and beliefs, what a fab idea!! Thanks! 🙂
I agree Rachael, Nicole presents a whole new possible way of approaching pregnancy and parenthood that I feel will be supportive to a lot of people.
Well said, Rebecca and Rachael. Nicole’s approach to her pregnancy and parenthood is empowered, responsible and fully committed to life without attachment or need. How amazing for a baby to come into that level of love and care – all those pregnancy manuals need to be re-written!
Indeed Janet, you bring in a great point, the effect such an attitude to pregnancy will have on the upbringing of the children. What an amazing start to life!
You are not alone Rachael, I know of many women around your age who have delayed having a family for various reasons but how amazing that you now have the awareness about self love so that it is your choice, whatever you decide to do and it is not about time but lovingly nurturing yourself knowing that the love you have for yourself goes out to all around you. I agree, the article by Nicole is truly beautiful and inspirational.
Thank you for sharing your massive turnaround against all odds and now into your third pregnancy – well done Nicole.
I too was a family history case and went down the same road as my younger sister. We both had a hysterectomy and no children. My mother also had a hysterectomy and if I am honest, I lived as she did – never stopping and always multi-tasking and so did my sister.
I can see how this pattern plays out in life and nothing changes until we start to make different choices.
Whilst I do not have any biological children I feel I do offer real parenting to some young children and I feel content. This was as a direct result of the support I received from Serge Benhayon and some amazing Universal Medicine practitioners.
Thank you Nicole for sharing your story of what is possible and open to us when we choose to take responsibility for our own healing and well-being…. a deeply inspiring sharing for us all.
It is an amazing testament to what is indeed possible when you really look after yourself and truly love your self.
Wow. What a testament this is to self love! Nicole – the level of commitment and care you and your partner brought to the idea of having a child – to take responsibility and discuss any ideals, your relationship and the possibility of bringing a child into the world is very inspiring.
You were living as a committed loving parent before you knew you were pregnant.
This is a miracle based on how you choose to live – and certainly an inspiration for how I would love to address motherhood.
I agree completely, this blog offers a completely different perspective on how to approach parenthood and bringing a child into this world – with complete commitment before the pregnancy even begins.
A real life testimony to the amazing changes we can affect when we look after ourselves, thanks for you sharing Nicole.
What beautiful deep commitment you made to yourselves, each other and the children even before they were born. With such powerful commitment you allowed powerful miracles.
Beautiful blog Nicole and one that is very inspiring, not just for future parents, but for anyone that chooses to take responsibility for their choices. This awesome story of yours certainly needs to be printed in medical magazines to show that there is another way to live.
What a beautiful and inspiring story. It just goes to show what true commitment to yourself can do: being willing to look at what is not working and then to make conscious ongoing changes to your life., even if “knowing I was worth this loving care and nurturing took time for me to accept” I can feel the quality in which you and your family live now. A great example of how taking responsibility for ourselves and allowing support from both the Medical profession and Universal Medicine can work toward such amazing healing in our lives.
Thank you for sharing your experience Nicole, your story shows the power that your choices can have on the body, and it was beautiful to read that you now have growing family because of your commitment to yourself.
This is incredible. Your dedication to making changes and for taking responsibility for your own life is so inspiring.
How wonderful Nicole, that you took all those different decisions to make changes in your life. your change of choices has turned your life completely around. The medical profession would say it was well against all odds that you have conceived 3 children, and it would’ve been if you had not taken such responsibility for yourself. This is an amazing story to go into a magazine for everyone to read.
Nicole, this is a beautiful blog. It totally inspires me further to truly look more deeply at the issues I still have. For you have shown here if you take full responsibility and really make a decision to look at the things that create the illness and disease in our bodies in the first place, how we can turn our lives around. True healing comes from within and the illness and disease hurt, but nothing hurts more than the deeper pain of the issues we carry around with us that hold us back from living our lives the way we know we want to be.
This blog is a great example and inspiration that no matter what has happened to us or what we have done to ourselves we can change. Rather than being the victim of life I can change all of it by my choice to be willing to look at my life in every detail. Thank you.
This is beautiful to read Nicole, I have tears in my eyes reading this, so inspiring, what an amazing story of how you turned your life around by taking care of yourself, and a great reminder, ‘knowing that I was the only one that could change the way my life and my body was’.
This is such a great example of the profound and life changing experiences that can occur when we stop and listen to our bodies, as presented by Universal Medicine.
Step by step we go deeper and more is revealed. There are many cases within the student body where their Livingness has defied the odds, and yours Nicole is certainly one of them. To be able to share this way with your beautiful growing family is amazing and a gift for all around.
Dear Nicole, what you have described will benefit many women, not only ones who are having difficulty getting pregnant and those considering going through a pregnancy. This is an inspiration to all women.
Thank you for sharing Nicole, it is extremely powerful what you have shared and how by taking full responsibility for our lives and the way we are living we can truly change. As you said you ‘had a choice: I could continue living the same way, and end up heading down the same path as the other females in my family, or I could change the way I lived and create a new way of being’. There are so many examples of people giving up, fearing the inevitable hereditary cancer/disease. Instead of taking responsibility and looking at how they are living first; some are choosing to have precautionary surgeries (such as a mastectomy) as a ‘just in case’ measure.
Absolutely James; what Nicole is presenting is responsibility at its finest.
This goes to show the huge impact that lifestyle changes have on our health and physical body. Although it seems amazing compared to what the medical profession advised, it really is quite simple and makes sense. A great example and inspiration for all. Thank you for sharing.
Wow this blog is remarkable. You have proven how living a deeply responsible life changes everything. I love how you say you had a choice to go down the same path as your family or to change your life for good – I feel like everyone worried about getting the same illness or disease found their family needs to read this. I am also struck by how much responsibility and preparation you put into having a child – it is very inspiring.
I agree Meg it is extremely inspiring. Like a few people above have said, this blog/story of Nicole’s should be documented in medical journals for people to study and understand that indeed the ‘medical miracle’ Nicole has presented has occurred simply as a result of her making more loving choices and taking responsibility for her life.
Yes Meg that struck me too. The fact that Nicole chose to have months of counselling before having a child to let go of all those ideals and beliefs shows such a level of responsibility and commitment to truly parenting that is inspiring.
“For me, the key has been continuing to deal with, take responsibility for, and change the way I was living – looking at every aspect of my life.” Your great article demonstrates how changing our life style has such a huge impact on all areas of our bodies. Miracles indeed. I’m so deeply appreciative of all Universal Medicine has brought into my life – choices, choices. Thankyou for sharing this Nicole.
Gosh, Nicole you rewrite what is medically possible thorough taking responsibility for your health, wellbeing and choices. This is a wonderful testimony of how Universal Medicine and conventional medicine can work together.
Wow Nicole what a journey to share with us all, thank you for this inspiration. It is amazing to see what changes to our livingness can make to our lives and those of others.
At a time when so many are trying to conceive, get pregnant, would love to have a child and family and the pressures they are put under and what they are told – this is a sheer joy for them to read and needs to be heard. If only we were all taught this from young it gives us back the true way to live in the world.
Thank you for choosing responsibility and sharing this so beautifully.
Hello Nicole and thank you for adding to the growing number of people that are living proof that we are not predisposed to our family gene pool of problems. What if, someone was to do research that common family traits are common only because of similar life style choices? The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree kind of thinking. We are breaking the rules by making choices that support us. Is it this simple? yes.
This is such an inspiring turnaround of your life and deserves to be widely read to demonstrate that people can choose to take responsibility for their life and confound the medical odds by being willing to look at what is not working and learning simple techniques to deeply care for themselves.
I also love the commitment you both made to your child/children ‘Both of us made the choice to commit to parenting without imposing or expecting our children to be anything other than who they truly were, growing up without feeling they have to be anything other than themselves.’ That is so awesome. Thank you Nicole for sharing.
Thank you for sharing Nicole, This is true medicine, how great it is that you choose to change your way of living after discovering your health issues. I feel this is the way forward out of our age of illness and disease increasing.
A powerful testament to how the choices we make in the way we live affect our health and the harmony within our body.
Nicole, you confirm that anything is possible when we truly heal, but the healing has come from you (and your husband) leaving no stone left unturned. I love the fact that you both chose to have counselling sessions to explore and support you in letting go of any ideals you might have had around having children. I can tell that you were (and are) both very committed to raising children so that they can just be themselves and that they won’t have to ever feel they have live up to any expectations from their parents.
Nicole, this is such an inspiring blog for all to read. Every word filled with your sensitivity, self nurturing and joy as you share your willingness and dedication to true change with your way of living since attending Universal Medicine presentations with Serge Benhayon and other practitioners. Your body’s deep healing reflecting the absolute Magic of God moments that can occur when we return to love.
I am deeply humbled and filled with wonderment and awe with the true power of Love brought through in your blog. Thank you.
This is so gorgeous Nicole. Thank you for sharing your story.
An amazing testament to the power and beauty of self-care, self-nurturing, self-loving, being totally truthful and taking full responsibility for one’s choices.
Nicole, what an incredible story and changes you’ve made. As others have shared it shows the “miracles” that have happened by your choices and way of living whilst seeking true support in the process. It was deeply inspiring to read.
Nicole this a very inspiring story. You have demonstrated that with commitment to yourself and to your body you can change the history of the genetic pool we are born into through simply loving yourself and honouring your body. This is huge; and as already mentioned above, one that the medical profession needs to hear about. Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely Michelle, the excuse many people use to avoid looking at their own choices when they get an illness; ‘oh it runs in the family,’ is no longer applicable.
The power we have to go against the odds is beautiful to read Nicole. You are a living testimony that making changes in how we live on a daily basis has a huge impact on our well being. Your sharing is deeply inspiring, thank you.
“For me, the key has been continuing to deal with, take responsibility for, and change the way I was living – looking at every aspect of my life”
Awesome.
Thank you Nicole for sharing how important our choices are in affecting our health.
Well, first – Nicole, congrats on being pregnant again, and wow what a wonderful story! I love your commitment to life and how you state that it is something that never stops and is ongoing, for this is the key. Love your writing – thanks so much for sharing.
Dear Nicole,
Thank you for an amazing sharing and testimony of the miracles of life. The honouring of you, the Woman you are and the body you live in, is inspiring to Me and all Women.
I agree, Katinka, your story, Nicole, is a living testimony of the miracles of life, and the beauty of the way Universal Medicine teaches and supports us to truly live ourselves from inside out. Then we may show the world a way to fulfill our potential,and how possible it is for us all to love ourselves and our bodies, and so bring about a lasting, healing change.
Nicole, you are living proof that miraculous changes happen when we choose to look after ourselves and have true support in our lives, such as Universal Medicine Practitioners.
So true susang12. Nicole your blog is so inspiring. I know I won’t have children this life time because I didn’t make loving choices on a daily basis consistently. I do know I am worth making those loving choices and can feel the joy of simply being myself when I do so.
A great example of both parties working together and taking responsibility for their part in your healing process. This is the future Nicole, esoteric modalities alongside mainstream technology and medicine, thank you for sharing.
Well said, Rosannabianchini. “This is the future Nicole, esoteric modalities alongside mainstream technology and medicine” – I love how you have captured the future of healthcare as a marriage of approaches. This way forward truly honours and supports the patient on every level.
My goodness Nicole, what a remarkable unfolding – how beautiful. Thank you for sharing your story.
This is nothing short of a medical miracle but one that appears to have no mystery or randomness or luck involved. Nicole you have beautifully presented the possibility that maybe our physical health could be directly influenced by our daily choices. Your case and many others similar needs to be studied as there is much we could all learn from this.
I agree Andrew it is nothing short of a medical miracle – yet it makes complete sense that our physical health and well being is directly affected by our daily choices.
This is so true Andrew, ‘This is nothing short of a medical miracle but one that appears to have no mystery or randomness or luck involved’, that is the amazing thing, it shows how very simple and powerful self-care and looking after oneself is.
Wow Nicole – what an inspiring story! It’s super to hear how taking total responsibility you took the reigns and made different choices – the results of which show us that it is possible to turn things around even when the odds are against us. Thank you for sharing.
Wow Nicole – that is both awesome and inspiring – it is amazing how we can help the medical profession to support us in our health issues by supporting ourselves with healthy lifestyle choices at the same time.
Wow, this is an amazing blog – and truly shows the power that we have over our own lives. The common perception is that ‘life does us’, with illness and disease included in ‘life’, but what you have shown is the positive impact our choices can have on our quality in life, and the physical manifestations of this quality. HUGE thanks to Universal Medicine for showing everyone this fact.
Power is a great word to describe it, so often we think we are powerless to our ‘lot’ in life when in fact, what we have in our life is a sum of our choices, a sum of everything we have chosen. If we take responsibility for this, we cannot deny we are the extremely powerful.
Wow, brilliantly said, Meg.
Nicole, this is a beautiful and extraordinary story.
Your story and this blog belong in the medical journals!
Well said, Gayle. What an amazing story of true commitment to life and healing. Thank you, Nicole.
Absolutely, it says it all. That we can change our health and lives around by taking true and loving responsibility for our choices and how we live. Many times I thought I had done this in my life, it wasn’t until I met Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine that I realised dispite all my previous efforts to change my life, nothing made any true difference. The teachings from Serge are of great truth and value, an ageless wisdom that belongs to us all.
Agreed, Gayle. I hear all too much in the news, papers and internet – stories of people who can’t conceive and end up giving up because they feel there’s nothing they can do about it… Nicole has proven that idea wrong with living proof.
Thank you Nicole, not only do your children now have the blessing of being supported to be who they truly are, you have taken responsibility for yourself with the support of Universal Medicine. I have connected more to the power of taking true responsibility after reading this post. It is so easy to be an onlooker to our own lives and allow others (in your case the medical profession), to direct us as if we don’t and can’t know what is true for us… For those who know Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon, a service and truth is here offered that is liberating beyond any other profession/person or ideology I could even imagine. Your sharing is an inspiration, Nicole.
So true Bernadette – ‘not only do your children now have the blessing of being supported to be who they truly are, you have taken responsibility for yourself with the support of Universal Medicine’.
Thanks for sharing this Nicole – it is inspiring that these teachings are out there for people to learn about and that you took responsibility for the way you were living, which has given you the life you want.
What a beautiful sharing Nicole – thank you.
