Where we’ll focus….
Body Trust
It’s hard to put the ways fertility struggles will break your trust in your own body. From reading signals and symptoms to trusting your senses, the ups and downs of fertility cycling messes with you deeply.
Body trust is a process of repairing that relationship and returning to yourself and your body with compassion. Join me.
Identity Changes
Whether you’ve known a parent identity is part of you for a year or your whole life, adjusting that identity to fit a life without children, or without them in your home, or where they enter your life in different ways takes time and consciousness.
Together we’ll unpack these identity shifts with care.
Belonging & Community
One of the greatest wounds in fertility struggles is loss of community. Most and many adults spend years centered on their parenting role- which can leave those of us without children also without community. We will focus our work on creating meaningful and inclusive community.
Spiritual Wounding
In the depths of infertility the spiritual wounding of hoping, praying, wishing, and meditating without positive outcome. It can feel like you are cursed, or karmically doomed.
Our process aims to return you to spiritual practice (not dogma) as an aspect of meaningful wellness.
Creating a Meaningful Vision
As we struggle to conceive or adopt we have to reshape our vision of the future. But when we face a child-free future the only narratives our culture gifts us are of brokenness, mental illness, and deep sadness.
Lets create a vibrant vision for your next chapter- regardless of your family role.
Processing Intense Emotions & Loss
Yes, grief, loss, and anxiety are emotional themes in fertility struggles and without some processing they lodge themselves in our body and spirit.
In our work we will find healthy ways to process these emotions to properly let them go.
Six fun facts about Gina…
I struggled with “mystery infertility” for over seven years before giving up on becoming a mother through pregnancy.
Yes, I, like many tried everything and spent every dime I had trying to conceive. Every test, therapy, diet, support group, and intervention.
Most of the therapies and supports I turned to missed key wounds I experienced as I went through infertility. No one talked about the possibility of a fulfilling life after deciding not to parent.
I was a foster parent for NICU babies who had been exposed to substances in-utero for two years. Nine of those babies now live with their original and/or family, one of them is my son.
I have been through several LGBTQ+ discriminatory adoption processes in the USA. As a queer person and provider I am also aware of the unique struggles LGBTQ infertility survivors experience.
I fully believe a happy life awaits you after being through the trauma and grief of intense and prolonged fertility struggle.
