WHAT TO EXPECT
This series is designed to be educational, supportive, and approachable — no pressure, no shame, and no one-size-fits-all support.
Each week, you’ll hear from a different facilitator or local expert who will guide the group through an important piece of fertility wellness. Together, we’ll explore practical, evidence-informed ways to prepare your body, support your cycle, care for your mental health, and strengthen your relationships as you move toward pregnancy.
Week One: Womb Wisdom; Menstrual Cycle Education
Facilitator: Marta LeSueur
Your menstrual cycle can offer important insight into your overall health and fertility. This session will help participants better understand ovulation, cycle tracking, hormones, common signs of cycle imbalance, and when it may be time to seek additional support.
Week Two: Nutrition; Fuel for Fertility
Facilitator: Shannon McKirdy
Food plays an important role in hormone health, energy, inflammation, and overall reproductive wellness. This workshop will explore simple, realistic ways to nourish your body while preparing for pregnancy — without adding pressure or overwhelm.
Week Five: Peer Support & Fertility Doulas
Facilitator: Natasha Foster
Trying to conceive can feel overwhelming, and having the right support can make all the difference. This session explores the role of peer support and fertility doulas in providing emotional encouragement, practical guidance, and compassionate care throughout the fertility journey.
Week Three: Mental Health, Stress, Grief & Relationship Health
Facilitator: Courtney Vezina
Fertility journeys can impact connection, communication, and intimacy. This workshop will offer practical support for navigating expectations, supporting your well-being, and strengthening your relationship through the ups and downs of trying to conceive.
Week Four: Naturopath & Holistic Health
Facilitator: Shawn Yakimovich
This session will focus on whole-body wellness before conception, including movement, pelvic health, sleep, inflammation, nervous system regulation, and practical ways to support your physical readiness for pregnancy.
Fertility Fair
In our final session, we’ll bring the pieces together and help participants create a realistic, supportive fertility wellness plan. We’ll also talk about next steps, available community resources, and how to continue feeling supported beyond the series.
