Many of our mind-body participants have had excellent results. Read some of their comments below:

“This program is wonderful.  I think this program is the most meaningful, important experience of my life.  I really thank you to my instructor.  She is the most wonderful person I met.  I was so encouraged.  Thank you.”  (8-week)

“Janetti did a great job of teaching the group how to be calm and be in the moment.  I feel much better equipped to deal with all of life’s challenges, including infertility.  Connecting with other women was a huge help too.” (8-week)

“The Mind-Body Program with Janetti has been extremely helpful to me in maintaining my sanity throughout this fertility journey.  She has helped me to look at this process in a different, more positive way.  Coming to the place of needing fertility treatments was never something I planned or wanted to do.  Participating in the program has helped me come to peace with my decisions for treatment and the possibilities of having non-genetic children.  It is a challenging journey, but I have come to see the benefits and growth opportunities which are inherent to the process.”  (8-week)

“The emotional support from the group really helped me overcome the stress of infertility.  I have a more open and positive approach to infertility.”  (8-week)

“I’m a different person than I was at the beginning.  I had no idea I could be so poised and comfortable while going through an IVF cycle that was always at the risk of being cancelled.  Highly recommended!” (8-week)

“I go so much out of this program in the form of knowledge, support, feeling good about myself, and building friendships than I ever thought was even possible.  It’s a wonderful (treatment) component and highly recommended for anyone dealing with fertility issues.  I loved the poems, meditations, the rituals, the husbands coming, and the panel was a great eye-opening experience.  Janetti is a wonderful teacher with a deeply caring soul.”  (8-week)

“The stress-reduction for fertility/mind-body program was very helpful for me in terms of helping ease the anxiety associated with fertility treatments and all of the personal difficulties I struggled with related to fertility.  It also gave me a chance to meet many other women who share my concerns and struggles, making my journey so much easier.”  (8-week)

“It was great to finally have a place to go to vent as well as get support and understanding from others that are dealing with the pain of infertility. I felt as if a huge load had been lifted off my shoulders and am ready to try some new coping skills to help me through our situation. I was a little nervous before going to our first meeting but Lynn does such a fantastic job with putting people at ease--my husband and I are both looking forward to the next meeting.” – Anon

“If you are struggling with infertility, this [8-week] workshop is invaluable! It will help you restore yourself, your heart, your outlook, and give you strength and tools to continue on this heartbreaking journey. It was worth every single penny and in a way, it saved my life!” – Anon

“I found [the 8-week] program invaluable. It was very enjoyable and a great learning experience.” – Anon

“The mind-body program has been exceptionally helpful in helping me and my partner deal with the stress of infertility. The mind-body program is very informative and provides a great network of support.” – Anon

“Being a part of a group of women going through similar experiences in and of itself was great. I felt more knowledgeable and less isolated than when I began. The tools I learned in the group were very helpful and I can apply them through all areas of my life. I definitely feel less anxious then before. ”– Anon

“Working with a group of people who are going through the same things as me helped me put my infertility issues in perspective. It also helped my partner to meet with other men going through the same thing.” – Anon

“Through the mind-body program, I have begun to finally take charge of my emotional well-being. The tools and techniques I've learned for promoting relaxation and mental well-being have not only provided me with a way to cope with the stress infertility brings, but carries over into my daily life -- I'm grateful I did it!” – A.B.

“This program was enormously helpful for me. It ended two and a half years of isolation, because here were people I could talk to and they "got it". I didn't have to explain anything. Just knowing other people were going through the same things we were was very comforting.” – E.L.

“The program was wonderful for me. I no longer feel like I am alone in this journey. I also have the skills to continue on the journey if needed. This will serve me with both infertility and with the rest of my life.” – GM

“I started the program with lots of unanswered questions about my fertility and almost 3 years of trying to get pregnant. Here I found the home I’d been missing for my heavy heart, fear and anxiety that I couldn’t have a child. Sharing the journey with other women who understood the particular pain of infertility and want to have balance and happiness and laughter back in their lives has been inspiring. Janetti was our fearless, wise and compassionate leader – showing us our great strength and ability to heal ourselves. I emerge on the other side better equipped to weather this stormy journey and with the conviction that my partner, Jen, and I will have a family. Thank you.” – JSR

“It was a great experience for me. The instructor (group leader) Janetti is truly wonderful. She not only taught us how to relax, how to reduce stress and have a positive attitude towards infertility, but also showed us different alternatives for infertility. She opened my mind for adoption and other possibilities. I’m really grateful for her.” – Anon

“The mind-body class was a huge benefit for me. I learned many techniques to help me relax and de-stress. This affected me daily, and helped reduce stress and anxiety about infertility. Through Janetti’s wonderful leadership skills, we learned new ways to nurture ourselves. She was in instrumental piece to the success of the class. I feel positive and encouraged about my infertility journey.” – MS

“I loved the class and would recommend it to any woman going through infertility. This is a class that could be taught twice a week easily, or longer than 10 weeks.” – AM

“I think FPNC should suggest [this program] strongly early in a patient's treatment. It was very helpful to share my experiences and hear others' experiences..” – LS

“This class was such an important aspect to be addressed in the infertility experience. I feel very fortunate to have been able to participate and have gained new skills and perspective. This made Ali Domar's book come to life.” – Anon

“I really enjoyed the support group. It was nice to talk to others with similar situations .” –AA
