"Having a professional therapist to talk to in the process of involuntarily childlessness is worth its weight in gold.
Tone understood my situation well since she has personal experience. I received good help to sort out thoughts and feelings and to turn negative thoughts into something positive.
Tone gave me hope all the way which resulted in two wonderful miracles ».
Anne Berit
I first heard Tone in an online talk. There I met a lady who was full of energy, and not least she is sitting inside with a whole army of experiences. You do not have to explain to Tone what you are going through, she knows. She herself has felt it on her body.
I'm always looking forward to meeting Tone. She is warm, funny, direct, caring, and she always has a good explanation for your feelings. It's impossible not to like Tone.

«In guidance we received good advice, information about what are normal reactions and needs. Increased understanding of each other and better insight into the situation.
It was very significant and has made the process a lot easier! both as couples and individuals »

"Tone has helped me understand that what I think and feel is actually completely normal. Being involuntarily childless is one of the most difficult things I have ever experienced. I do not understand how people get through the process without having "a Tone" to talk to. You quickly end up in a dark hole and then it's nice to have someone who can help you up ».
