Learn tools to meet your challenge with fertility and find the support
you’ve been looking for!
The psychological distress of infertility can affect all aspects of life. Depression and anxiety for those diagnosed with infertility has been shown for some to be equal to patients diagnosed with cancer, HIV and heart disease. These emotional effects can also take a toll on your physical health.
Research has shown that learning stress reduction techniques, and connecting the body and mind within a supportive group environment can help with these effects.
This 1-Day Program applies mindfulness, moment-to-moment non-judgmental awareness, to reduce the stress of infertility and enhance well-being. Mindfulness teaches how to work with your thoughts, emotions, and body in all the challenges infertility presents. Central components of our 8-Week Program are condensed into this 1-Day event:
- Introduction to mindfulness meditation, yoga, body scan, chi kung & the cultivation of non-judgment & compassion
- Strategies to meet challenging interpersonal issues with partner, friends and family
- Recommendations for maximizing a fertile life style
- Support to feel understood, connected, and affirmed

If infertility is impairing your emotional or physical health, this 1-Day program will help! Here’s what past participants said about the 1-Day program:
“A community was built with tears, laughter, and sharing. I treasure that community.”
“I would encourage all couples who are having fertility issues to attend. This was a wonderful opportunity to share with others going through the same problems.”
“Dr. Marotta is a blessing with the work that she does.”
“I found it a very helpful mix of practical advice and heartfelt conversation on important topics. Thanks so much!”
“A safe comfort zone to share fertility challenges. Affirmation that I’m not alone helps couples to cope better.”
“The mind and body session was brilliant. My husband and I attended together and not only did it help to teach us techniques that we will continue to use throughout our fertility challenges, but we made some great friends. We were both nervous attending the session and worried about sharing our feelings about something so personal, but the safe, small group environment helped us enormously. We truly benefited as a couple and we're confident it will help us reach our parenting goals.” Emma & Dave
“Great instructor and great group. Today changed my outlook on this process from negative to positive. I am leaving much less stressed than when I arrived. I am very glad we attended!”
“It was so comforting to meet other couples going through what we are going through. I feel less alone.”
“It has helped me to look at my problems in a different way. One that is less painful, and more full of hope.”
Join with others in an opportunity for growth and an exercise in hope!
