Believe it then Conceive it

Believe it then Conceive it:

A 6-week journey for women trying to conceive

Are you trying to conceive?  Look at the following topics below and see if any of them resonate with you.  This fertility journey is hard.  Below are some of the areas that seem most stressful when trying to make a baby.  Trying to conceive can create stress on our marriages, work life, and friendships.  Others don’t seem to understand what to say to be supportive and often end up hurting rather than helping you feel better.  Below are the topics that we’ll discuss each week, they are topics that were often brought up in my years of working with women and couples on their way to parenthood.  Please join others like you as we share, uplift and encourage one another towards your dream of becoming a mother. 

Weekly topics: 

• How infertility effects our work and finances
• Sexual intimacy
• Control and Power (or feeling a lack of it)
• Communication with friends, family and professionals
• Worry and Anxiety (what to do with it)
• Loving Life in spite of it all-How do you move on from loss? What are some things that bring you joy? Where does your spirit get inspired in the middle of all of this?

 The above topics will be discussed along with creative solutions on how to improve these specific challenges.  Each week we’ll learn a yogic coping technique such as; pranayama or breathing techniques, nutrition tips, meditation techniques like chanting and using mantra, creating vision boards and gentle movement. Wear comfortable clothing, like yoga pants or sweatpants.
