What to Expect:
Join us for a nurturing afternoon of supportive resources to help alleviate fertility stress during the holiday season. Registration includes participation in all three of the following workshops:
1. In-person Fertility Support Workshop: Navigating Holiday Stress and Gatherings
Join Registered Psychologist and experienced fertility counsellor, Caroline Andersen, for a guided workshop designed to help you navigate holiday stress and family gatherings with greater ease while on your fertility journey. Discover supportive tools and connect with others who understand.
2. Fertility Nutrition Workshop: Taking the Stress Out of Holiday Eating
Join ARC Reproductive Dietitian, Michelle Florence, to learn some tips for mindful eating during a season that embraces feasting and celebration. This workshop will include some festive recipes that support fertility.
3. Community Acupuncture for Stress Reduction
Join Whole Family Health fertility acupuncture specialists for a stress-reducing community acupuncture session in a supportive group setting. Research shows that acupuncture can significantly lower stress and cortisol levels, helping you find calm amidst life’s challenges.
