Hi Everyone. I decided to start this group because:
1. As a women who also struggled with fertility, I wanted to share my experience and my passion to support others on this path. Four years ago I was told that it wouldn't be possible for me to conceive, even with assistance. I was 40, had an FSH of 27, endometriosis and a miscarriage. I decided not to believe that it wasn't possible for me. So I pursue a holistic approach: acupuncture, fertility diet, yoga, lifestyle changes. Within 3 months I was pregnant! My son is 3 years old. Since then, I have been passionate about helping other women explore a new path of possibilities and to trust in her body's wisdom and creative power (no matter what anyone tells her).
2. As a coach and an educator in the field of fertility, I have noticed how challenging it often is for women to share what they are going through with even their closest friends/family (I know that through my own personal experience as well). We often isolate ourselves rather than shore ourselves up with women who can understand and support us. 1/6 women struggle with fertility issues and yet we often feel alone. There are studies that have shown that being in a supportive group of women can increase your chances to conceive by at least 25%! Coming together in this way is healing on many levels.
3. I searched the fertility meet-up groups and the closest one I could find was in Brooklyn ! The one in NYC is closing in less than a week.
The Purpose of the Group is to 1) create a safe, healing space for women to share and support each other 2) while empowering each other to replace beliefs/blocks that may not serve us and 3) to find ways to create more balance, wellness and fulfillment in our lives.... on our path to motherhood. 4) learn relaxation & self-nurturing tools 5) share resources and information and 6) feeling connected, laugh, cry, share, and breathe ....
Who should join?
If you have been struggling with fertility or are even just thinking about conceiving, choosing single motherhood, or choosing motherhood later in life, pursing Western treatments or Eastern/Holistic modalilites, this group is open to anyone who wants to move through this journey in a more conscious, open-hearted way.
