Praise for the Fertile Being six-week class series:

“The Fertile Being class offered so many practical ways of dealing with the stress that can come with infertility. Because of the holistic approach taken in the class, I was able to create a whole new perspective about my body, my mind and infertility that have made this a beautiful journey rather than a difficult struggle.”

“The Fertile Being classes were amazing for my physical health, yet more importantly for my mental health as I went through the process of trying to get pregnant. Catherine is one of the most supportive, patient, and genuinely kind women I know. She facilitated the classes in such a way that I felt welcome and heard. I truly appreciate that experience and often recommend these classes to other women I know in their process of becoming mothers.”

“I enjoyed this class more than I could have imagined. When we signed up, I figured it would be “good” for us but had no idea how good! Aside from the relaxing/healing aspects of the yoga, meditation and journaling, it was liberating to spend time with people living through the same experience.”

“I loved this class. Especially helpful to me was the journal work, the guided visualizations, and last but probably most important, starting to bring awareness to my own thoughts and how to begin the task of changing them. I also got a lot out of hearing other people's stories and came away with a sense of hopefulness that I did not have before the class. Definitely worth the money!”

“Each week was like a mini retreat — wonderful! Thank you!”

"The class was great and very helpful. I would definitely recommend it to others. I think I've come a long way since my first session in just accepting the journey and learning to embrace it and trust. I really appreciate that. It's better than therapy! : )"
