Mind/Body Services

The stress of infertility can be relieved!

NYU Fertility Center is now offering Mind/Body Support Groups as part of our Wellness Program. These groups will provide you with myriad approaches to taming the frenzy of body and mind provoked by this challenging time.

Infertility typically leaves people feeling out of control. While you cannot control that you are in this situation, you can control how you navigate it. Our mind/body groups will teach you:

• Effective ways to reverse the mental and physical discomfort of stress
• A panorama of coping mechanisms
• How to tame and transform the intrusion of negative thoughts

How to gain clarity by building awareness of your:

• Emotions
• Communication Skills
• Boundary-setting Options
• Spiritual Concerns
• Inner Strength

Support groups classically ameliorate stress simply by providing participants with the opportunity to meet others in the same struggle. In addition, this mind/body group is designed to provide you with the benefit of feeling empowered and clear-thinking.

Classes are run by Helen Adrienne, who has worked with infertility patients for 30 years.
