Mid-week check-in. Here, we don’t do “fine.” We do real.
Although a conditioned response, “fine” is not a feeling, so let’s work to identify the emotion(s) by naming them.

Are you feeling:
🌊 Overwhelmed
☀️ Hopeful
🌪️ Frustrated
☁️ Exhausted
✨Excited
… or any others

Naming the feeling(s) helps us connect to ourselves more.

Leave an emoji or words to describe your feeling today. Let’s support each other.

Sunday brunch, but make it meaningful. Support is part of treatment🤍

I am so incredibly moved after spending my morning at the 4th Annual Brunch for Hope with the . Infertility can feel isolating; today was the exact opposite of isolation—it was a community gathering in strength, resilience, and HOPE.

What an honor to hear stories from grant recipients, connect with others whether at the beginning of their family-building journey or have been on the path for a while, and have a panel sharing and informing with care.

If you are navigating infertility, know that your story deserves support💛

Many thanks to the Stork Foundation for creating this space of hope.

XO,

It’s official! We are Sava Healing✨. As on our website’s blog in Autumn 2025, we changed our name from Lotus Mental Health & Wellness to Sava Healing.

We’re evolving and the name needs to as well. For a long time, our founder, Latrice Maric, PhD, had been considering a name change and found one that fits.

Why “Sava Healing”?
~ Personal connection: Sava is a river that flows from Slovenia through Serbia, the latter being our founder’s bonus home and loves spending time.

~Emotional connection: Seeking a name that embodies peace, transition, and life, rivers represent these and exude healing vibes. “Healing” in the name also includes health in all areas of life.

Sava Healing is a mental health company specializing in comprehensive clinical psychological evaluations/mental health screenings. With a focus on family (family-building and family-connecting), evaluations are specifically in the areas of ART (assisted reproductive technology) and immigration.

Sava Healing partners with fertility and surrogacy agencies and immigration law firms to provide evaluations, making mental health services accessible during important life decisions.

Same heart, same mission—just a new, elevated identity.

As we grow, bear with us as we re-engage on socials.

Thank you for being here, for the support, and for joining this journey. Follow along and visit the link in the bio.

XO,
Sava Healing

Myth-busting psych screenings if seeking surrogacy as the carrier or intended parent(s) is vital to a healthy start

❌ MYTH: It’s a “pass/fail” test to see if I’m “normal.”
✅ FACT: It’s an evaluation of readiness & emotional stability, not a personality test. There are no “right” answers!

❌ MYTH: They are trying to catch me lying.
✅ FACT: It’s a safe space to talk about motivations, support systems, and fears. Honesty helps to ensure a healthy journey.

❌ MYTH: It will be invasive and terrifying.
✅ FACT: It’s a conversation with a licensed professional (often online) focusing on your mental health history and support structure.

The “psych eval” might sound intimidating. Trust us—it’s actually one of the most supportive steps in the whole process!

Setting healthy boundaries is essential for maintaining mental wellness and fostering relationships. It involves identifying your needs and values, communicating them clearly and directly, and consistently enforcing them with actions.

Key steps:
-Self-reflection to understand your limits
-Using "I" statements to express needs
-Being prepared to say "no" and follow through with consequences/actions when boundaries are crossed

By clearly defining personal limits, individuals can enhance their emotional well-being and create a supportive environment for themselves and others.

Explore the critical role of psychological evaluations in important life matters.

For ART (assisted reproductive technology), these are usually required before approval as a gestational carrier (surrogate) or gamete donor (egg, s***m, or embryo) to evaluate emotional readiness for the journey. When helping someone on their family-building journey, an evaluation is to ensure safety for all involved.

For immigration cases, they provide essential insights into the mental health impacts on individuals and families. These psych evaluations help in legal contexts and have shown useful in U.S. immigration courts.

Sava Healing provides comprehensive mental health evaluations is available for.

The most profound lesson the seasons (weather) teach us is the nature of impermanence and the inevitability of seasons changing (life). We cannot control the shift from one season to the next, but we can control how we respond. Instead of fighting the current "season" of our lives, we can choose to adapt and flow with it.
Be patient: Adjusting to new seasons of life takes time just as adjusting from autumn to winter. Be patient with yourself and the process.

-Be adaptable: Clinging to old systems when a change comes can lead to frustration and burnout; adapting is wisdom.
-Find purpose: Each season, whether joyful or challenging, has a unique purpose and opportunity for personal growth.
-Stay grateful: Gratitude can help shift our focus from what we lack to what we have, in any season.

Life is a beautiful, cyclical journey. By observing and learning from the changing seasons, we can move through our own transitions with intention, grace, and hope for what is to come.
