Our group leaders are stellar! They have extensive training in mental health, years of group leadership expertise, and a passion for supporting people on their fertility journeys. Mother Tree Wellness maintains a short roster of highly qualified group leaders. Each session is facilitated by one leader, each with their own style, but all with the same mission: To create and hold a safe and nurturing space for group members to connect with each other.

Nope - just drop in when you can join! Space is limited for each session, though, so if you know you’d like to attend any given session, jump on registration as soon as you’re able.

does this group offer therapy or medical support?

No. This group is all about social support: Coming together with people on similar journeys to connect and to give/receive support within a community that gets it. Nothing discussed in the group should be interpreted as therapy or as medical advice. MTW will be happy to help with therapist recommendations (just send Ellen a message), and your medical care team at Virginia Fertility & IVF is there for you when it comes to your medical questions.
