Friday night was really special for our team.

We spent the evening at Sea Love for a candle making class, we had good food at Coopers Hawk, lots of laughter, and time to actually slow down and be together outside of the clinical space.

And the best part… we got to surprise Milana with a baby shower before she heads into maternity leave in just a few short weeks 🥹

Milana, you are such a steady, compassionate presence on our team, and watching you step into this next chapter as a mama of two feels really meaningful for all of us. We’re so excited for you and your growing family.

We’ll miss you while you’re out, but we can’t wait to welcome you back (and hear all the baby updates 💖).

If infertility has been feeling heavy, lonely, or overwhelming lately…
you don’t have to keep doing it on your own.

This retreat was created for women who are tired of carrying it all alone.

If this spoke to you, it’s worth listening to that.

It’s World Doula Week, and honestly, what stands out isn’t just what doulas do, it’s the ways that they show up.

So many of the people we work with aren’t just navigating pregnancy or postpartum…
they’re carrying the weight of everything it took to get there.

The anxiety doesn’t magically disappear once someone is expecting. The questions don’t stop.
And the pressure to “just be grateful” can feel really loud, especially when those are the messages received constantly from those around you.

Doulas don’t rush past that stuff. They sit in the in-between with you. They make space for the complicated parts. They help people feel a little more steady in something that can feel anything but.

People with doula support are:

⬇️ less likely to have a C-section
⬇️ less likely to need interventions
⬆️ more likely to feel satisfied with their birth

That kind of support matters more than we give it credit for. That support changes outcomes.

Grateful to the doulas who are holding people through it all.💕

Dr. Jeelani understands on a personal level what it’s like to navigate this journey, and she recently launched Onto Health to really ensure that her patients get access to holistic care, and are also see and heard throughout the entire process.

It means so much to partner with professionals that have created their businesses where compassion, holistic care, and evidence-based practices are at the core.

Last night reminded me exactly why this work matters so much.🧡

For nearly 7 years, I’ve been running my fertility support group. This particular group almost always has a waitlist, so we started another one, and Delena only has one spot left. There is a clear need for supportive spaces like this.

Over time, something beautiful has happened… real, meaningful connection.

This particular group has been together for quite a while, and last night, they all came together in person from all over the Chicagoland area.

To witness a space that started on screens come to life in the same room… it’s hard to put into words.

There was laughter. There were tears.
There was grief, hope, anger, connection…COMMUNITY!

One woman brought orange bags filled with self-care items and bracelets so everyone could stay connected on their journeys.

Another shared her “bad ass bunnies”—hand-knit bunnies with so much intention. She’s leaning into knitting as a way to cope and ground herself while navigating a challenging fertility journey.

Late last night, one of the group members sent me an email that truly brought me to tears.🥺

She basically shared how this group has been a bright light for her during one of the most difficult seasons in her life.🧡

This is what happens when people feel safe enough to show up fully.

This is what happens when people lean into a community that truly understands.

This is Harmony in Healing. It’s not something I created. It’s what I’ve had the privilege of witnessing, again and again, when people are given the space to be fully human in this process.

Not having to carry something so heavy alone.

The need for spaces like this is so real, and I’m committed to creating more and more spaces like this.

If you are looking for community while navigating the journey of infertility, join me on April 25th for Harmony in Healing Fertility Wellness Retreat.

Last year, several women told me they almost didn’t come to the Harmony in Healing Fertility Wellness Retreat.

Not because they didn’t want support, but because it felt scary to walk into a room of strangers and talk about something as vulnerable as infertility.

But by the end of the day, they were exchanging numbers, hugging goodbye, and sharing how meaningful it felt to be in a space where they didn’t have to explain their experience.

Infertility can be incredibly isolating. And sometimes the hardest part is taking that first step toward connection.

If you’ve been craving support from people who truly understand this journey, this retreat was created for you.
