Vera Krijn was born in The Netherlands and has been living in the United States since 1975. She is specialized in reproductive health and has worked for 18+ years with women who have sub-fertility problems with her Reflexology Assisted Fertility (RAF(TM)). Vera was the director of the Fertility program at the Olive leaf Wholeness Center in NYC, after which she joined the Rocking Chair, a multi-disciplinary women's wellness center in Englewood NJ. For the past 4 years Vera works with Village Obstetrics in NYC, using Conditioned Response Reflexology (CRR(TM)), a method based on Pavlov's principle, using reflexology, breathing techniques and sound. The objective is that with a series of sessions and daily practice women are able to achieve labour and faster and almost painless childbirth. The success has been above expectations, and many of her clients are doulas, midwifes, acupuncturist, and other holistic practitioners. CRR(TM) is a valuable tool for pain and stress management, and doctors now refer patients who suffer from various prenatal complications, including IUGR, premature contractions, multiples and postpartum depression.

Vera was president and secretary of the New York State Reflexology Association and has taught Reflexology certification classes. She has a busy practice and teaches specialized workshops for doulas, holistic nurses and child birth educators. Vera's work was featured in a 30-minute documentary about her work for NHK Japanese TV
