  • Nurturing the Mind on the Fertility Journey

    by Bethany Peterson

    Infertility is more than a medical diagnosis — it’s an emotional journey.

    Feelings of grief, stress, and isolation are common, yet too often go unspoken. At Well+Core, we know your reproductive health is deeply connected to your emotional wellbeing.

    That’s why we partnered with licensed therapist Katie Kirkenmeier, PMH-C, an expert in infertility and perinatal mental health. In our recent webinar, Katie shared insights, practical tools, and hope for anyone walking this path.

    ✨ From understanding the toll of stress on the body to finding support in therapy, partners, and community — you don’t have to do this alone.

    👉 Catch the replay of our webinar, Nurturing the Mind on the Fertility Journey, and discover strategies to care for both body and mind.
