You are not too emotional. You are not doing this wrong.

Fertility treatment keeps your body in a constant state of bracing.

Of course you feel on edge.
Of course you’re tired.
Of course it feels heavier than you expected.

These small shifts will not take the pain away.
But they can help your body unclench just a little.

And if you are craving more than just surviving this season, that is exactly why this retreat exists

Join us on 4/25. Spots are limited. Registration 🔗 in bio or go to aypsych.com/retreat to learn more and register.

One of the most common things women say when they walk into this space:

“I didn’t realize how alone I felt until I wasn’t.”

There is something powerful about being in a room where no one tries to fix you.
No one says “just relax.”
No one minimizes your grief.

Just women who get it. And let me tell you, that feeling is everything.

I witnessed it happen last year in real time.

Shoulders dropped.
Tears flowed without apology.
Women who walked in guarded left feeling lighter, connected, understood.

If you’ve been craving this kind of community, I would love to hold that space for you.

Early bird ends in 2 weeks.
Spots are limited.
Payment plan available.

When you look at $449, it might feel like a number.

When you look at what’s included,
it’s an intentionally designed, trauma-informed experience for women navigating infertility.

This isn’t just a yoga class.
It’s not just acupuncture.
It’s not just a “wellness day.”

It’s a nervous system reset.
It’s a clinically held, full day of group support.
It’s being in a room where no one tells you to “just relax,” or “stop thinking about it and it’ll happen.”

Every element of Harmony in Healing was chosen with intention: from the support circle, to the team, to the meals, to the curated gift bag.

If you booked these services individually, it would easily exceed $800+.

Early bird pricing ends in 2 weeks.
Payment plan is available.
Code ACCESS10 gives 10% off for BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and Neurodivergent participants.

If you’ve been thinking about it, this might be your sign.

• You are exhausted from being strong

• You feel like no one fully understands infertility

• You want support that isn’t toxic positivity

• You crave a space to be held, not advice

• You want to be in a room where you don’t have to explain yourself

This is not a networking event.
It’s not a “manifest your baby” workshop.
It’s not surface-level wellness.

It’s trauma-informed, professionally held space with others who truly get it.

Infertility doesn’t just happen in appointments.

It accumulates in the body, in the nervous system, and in the quiet moments no one sees.

Harmony in Healing was created to tend to that.

Being strong can become another way we abandon ourselves.

Being strong can start to feel like a trap.
Like if you stop, everything will fall apart.

Wanting relief is your body saying, this is too much.

Relief might look like rest, honesty, or letting someone else carry it tonight.

You don’t need to prove you can survive this.
You’re allowed to want support, rest, or
anything that makes it feel even a little more bearable.

Graduate school taught us how to do individual therapy.

Supervision often focuses on case conceptualization.

But groups? Many of us were handed a manual, a referral list, and a “you’ll figure it out.”

There’s some of us who took a group class in graduate school and then went into community mental health and ran a variety of groups, but many clinicians today are not getting those experiences.

So when groups feel:
• hard to fill
• emotionally draining
• chaotic or flat
• or like more work than they’re worth

It’s not a personal failure. It’s a training gap.

If you are running groups in your private practice, make sure your clinicians are getting consultation and training.

Well-run groups are a skill set—structure, pacing, safety, and leadership.

And once those pieces are in place, groups can become one of the most meaningful and sustainable parts of your practice.

Join Building Better Groups - a monthly consultation group just for groups! This space will allow you to bring in your challenges, questions, and you’ll learn so much from the members who are running groups in their practices.

Send a message if you’re interest in joining the next meeting on February 9th.

Or…

Reach out if you’re interested in having me provide your staff with a group training.

For years, I tried to smile through the pain of infertility during a time when many weren’t speaking so openly about their experiences.

I remember the ache of scrolling through pregnancy announcements, feeling like everyone else was moving forward while I was stuck in the waiting, the losses, the uncertainty.

I longed for a space where others truly got it, where I could be seen, understood, and not feel so alone.

That space didn’t exist for me…so I created it.

Next week, I’ll be opening registration for the Second Annual Harmony in Healing Fertility Wellness Retreat. This is a retreat designed to hold, support, and nurture people navigating infertility. A space to feel seen, release the weight, and connect with others who truly understand.🧡

If you’ve ever wished for a place where no explanation is needed and where all of your feelings can simply be, this is it.

Stay tuned.
