What to Expect
Compassionate Guidance:
Our experienced counselor provides a safe, confidential and non-judgmental environment, offering customized support to address the emotional complexities of the fertility journey. Through her skillful listening, inquiry and supportive guidance, she creates a space for participants to learn new ways to express and work with their stressful thoughts and emotions.
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction:
The MBSR facilitator introduces mindfulness practices tailored to increase resilience to the stress and anxiety commonly associated with fertility challenges. Participants will have an opportunity to learn accessible mindfulness practices that they can practice every day, enabling them to navigate their every day challenging emotions, with increased awareness, resilience and self-compassion.
Community Connection:
Fertility struggles can be so isolating. Sharing experiences within a supportive community of people facing similar struggles fosters a sense of belonging and understanding. Through safely guided conversations and shared narratives, participants can draw strength from one another’s stories and know that they are not alone.
