Later on, when my world fell apart after the loss of my first pregnancy, these practices helped me to process my loss and gently pick up the pieces. In Chinese Medicine school, it’s essential that we learn and understand the principles of Yin and Yang theory. From this I know that when something reaches it’s maximum, it must transform to it’s opposite. Day to night. Winter to Summer. Sorrow to Joy.

I allowed myself to soften into my grief, to stay present with it no matter how excruciating. I’d often remind myself to slow down and yield to the Yin Way of being. It was during this time that I was unknowingly creating the framework for what would become The Yin Way Program and more recently, The Invisible Mothers Support Group.

I know that without these practices and principles I’d learned in my Eastern Medicine Training, I would be chronically in pain, suffering mentally and spiritually, and a much less vibrant version of myself. I was able to spare myself this unnecessary suffering and now I find great meaning in my life by supporting other women to do the same.

If you’ve experienced pregnancy loss, you know the devastation, the loneliness, and difficult -often conflicting- feelings this loss unearths. While I can’t take away your pain or your loss, what I can do is provide a safe space and a loving community to buffer the challenging ripple effects that are part of this loss experience.
