Event Description

Sundays Nov 18- Dec 9 (7:30 – 9pm)

Are you struggling with the distress of trying to create a healthy pregnancy?

Many women describe their struggle with fertility as an emotional roller coaster that affects every area of life. To help you navigate this challenging journey, we introduce this unique and practical 4-week research-based Mindfulness For Fertility Program. It has been carefully developed, based on the growing body of research demonstrating that Mindfulness-based programs alleviate stress and boost fertility.

Discover how to calm your mind and process your emotions. Under the compassionate guidance of Whole Family Health fertility specialist, Dr. Alda Ngo (Dr. of TCM), you will learn mindfulness-based stress reduction and Chinese Medicine relaxation techniques designed to release stress and help recover a sense of peace. It will give you the skills to move forward on your path to parenthood with increased ability to relax and a greater sense of wellbeing and ease.

I think when us guys hear the words “fertility issue,” we tend to look for ways to fix what’s broken. My wife and I have been through the grinder and every test conceivable (<-yeah it’s a pun) for Western medicine. There was no easy fix for what was quickly starting to look like an “infertile couple.” Our last option was surrogacy but we still needed healthy eggs from my wife and good sperm from me to proceed. We asked around about what we could do to increase our chances of having success with creating healthy embryos.

Acupuncture was mentioned a few times so we gave it a whirl. It really was the best advice anyone gave us. We went for a few months of treatment and, in tandem with a fertility clinic, created several healthy embryos as a result. We now have a little girl that has just turned one. We can’t thank Alda and the rest of the team enough for helping us. They can truly make a difference.

Lastly, I encourage all couples to BOTH go for acupuncture. So often I see women at the fertility clinic on their own. I think it’s important for both partners to be there and go through the experience together.

Very nice atmosphere, very calming and reassuring, it always makes me feel at peace.
Christina is very helpful, kind and knowledgeable. Taking acupuncture has actually helped me a lot when I needed to find some balance and calm, and I tend to fall asleep a lot of times during my sessions because of its calmness and soothing music in the rooms.

I really enjoyed this class! It was very well paced, focusing on breathing and relaxation. Both the yoga instruction and acupuncture were well combined and complementary. – Prenatal Yogapuncture Participant
