This week is about breaking silence.

This week is naming that this matters.

It’s about not carrying infertility alone anymore.

And tomorrow… registration closes for Harmony in Healing Fertility Wellness Retreat 2026.

We will be gathering on the last day of National Infertility Awareness Week, closing out the week in connection instead of isolation.

In just a few short days, on 4/25, 12+ women will be sitting in a room together, not explaining themselves, not filtering their grief, not feeling like the only one.

Just being fully understood.

If you’ve been watching, thinking, going back and forth…

This is your moment.

✨ One of the last spots is yours if you want it.
🗓️ April 25
⏰ Registration closes tomorrow

2am is when the thoughts get the loudest.

Not during the day to day appointments.
Not when you’re “staying positive.”
But when it’s quiet… and there’s nothing to distract you.

Ya know, the mind chatter that wakes you out of your sleep…

If you’ve had thoughts like this, you’re not broken.
You’re in something really, really hard.

There’s lots of uncertainty and the road ahead likely feels unclear, confusing, and a bit overwhelming.

You’re not alone in this, nor do you have to carry this all alone.🧡

There are already 12 women coming together on 4/25, the last day of National Infertility Awareness Week. I opened up a few more spots.

If you’ve been going back and forth about it, this might be the moment to trust that pull.

Registration closes 4/22.
Discounted rates are available

If you’re on your fertility journey and feeling alone…
If you’ve been considering the retreat but feeling unsure…
here’s a little more of what the day will actually look like:

We’ll start the morning slow…nothing overwhelming.
Time to settle in, get comfortable, and ease into the space.

There will be:
✨ a guided support circle (you can share as much or as little as you want)
✨ gentle prompts for reflection/journaling
✨ space to connect with other women who truly understand this experience
✨ yoga, acupuncture, a hands on planting workshop, and sound bath meditation support your wellbeing
✨delicious food and beverages throughout the day to nourish your body

This isn’t a packed, overwhelming day.
It’s intentional, calm, and supportive.

A space where you don’t have to explain yourself.
A space where your experience is already understood, with women who truly get it.

Just opened up 3 more spots for April 25.
Registration closes 4/22 (or sooner if it fills).

This is where we will be on 4/25 for Harmony in Healing Fertility Wellness Retreat 2026.

We the People Fitness Studio, located in the heart of Chicago with a beautiful skyline view.

From the moment I walked into this space late 2024 as I was looking for spaces for the very first retreat in 2025, I knew this was it.

Sam has done a wonderful job not only making this space visibly gorgeous, but making it a shared space for classes, workshops, and events.

This space is something she intentionally created to bridge the gap of not having enough spaces for instructors to grow their businesses. She created a model that supports and encourages collaboration and community building, which is an aligned and lived value.

Because when the environment aligns, the experience goes deeper.

The energy of a space shapes how safe you feel, how open you are, and how deeply you can connect.

As you can see, this retreat isn’t just happening anywhere… it’s happening in a space that reflects what we’re building: community and safety.

We were down to 1 spot left…and I’m opening a few more.

Sometimes it sneaks up on you.

In the middle of your day, or out of nowhere.

The realization of how hard this actually is…
and how alone it can feel.

Infertility asks you to carry so much…quietly.

You don’t have to do that here.

This retreat was created for that exact moment.
The one where you’re tired of holding it all in.

3 spots left.
Registration closes 4/22.

Black Maternal Health Week is here and we’re sharing some of what we hear behind closed doors.

Black women navigating pregnancy after infertility…

while also holding:

✨not being believed in medical spaces
✨fear that something will go wrong (again)
✨fear that they (them, and/or their baby) won’t make to the other side of delivery
✨the pressure to be “strong” no matter what
✨a system that doesn’t always feel safe

And then expected to regulate, advocate, and stay calm through it all.🙄

This isn’t about awareness. It’s about reality.

As perinatal therapists, we see how much is carried silently.

Support should not have to be fought for.

When someone says something feels off, that should be enough!

That’s real. And it deserves more attention than it gets.

Infertility can feel like being “on” all the time.

IYKYK!

Managing appointments, emotions, hope, disappointment…

Not being able to plan outings and vacations…

Feeling like no one understands and experiencing ongoing insensitive comments from others…

This retreat is a chance to put all of that down for a moment.

To be taken care of.
To be understood without having to explain.
To be in a room with other women who know exactly how you feel.

This is a space to feel supported emotionally and physically, and a chance to step out of the constant stress cycle.

We’re two weeks away and we have FOUR SPOTS LEFT!

If you’ve been quietly thinking about this retreat… I want you to know your hesitation makes sense.

Walking into a space where you don’t know anyone.
Talking about something this tender and personal.
Letting yourself be seen in it.

I get it.
And I remember how isolating it felt not having anyone in my world who understood what I was going through.

I know on a personal level how heavy it is to keep carrying this alone.

This retreat isn’t about forcing anything or sharing more than you’re ready to.
It’s about being in a space where you don’t have to explain yourself… and where other women just get it.

📍 April 25 | Chicago, IL
We’re keeping it small and there are just limited spots left.

If this has been on your mind, you don’t have to keep going back and forth.
