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.

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.

It’s chronic uncertainty.

Anticipatory grief.

And a body that’s always waiting for the next hit of news.

This experience deserves compassion, not minimization.

If you’ve been carrying grief related to infertility, pregnancy after infertility, loss, or disrupted plans for building a family, you’re not alone.

You don’t have to explain or justify why it still hurts.

This is a place where that grief is understood.
