The journey from the decision to start a family to holding your little one/s in your arms is not always straightforward and could take much longer than anticipated. This healing circle is meant to provide support, fellowship, and knowledge exchange while you are traversing this road in whatever form it may take.
What is a Healing Circle?
Healing Circles bring together small numbers of people impacted by a condition or circumstance to share experiences and harvest collective wisdom. Healing Circles is a peer-led process by which people support each other through deep listening and shared learning. When working at its best, this collaborative conversation model leads to authentic and deep connectivity and can create wisdom and healing for participants.
I am a lifelong Washington, D.C., resident who works as the Division Director of Educational Meetings at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO). I am a long-term survivor of aggressive breast cancer (diagnosed at 31), and I’m passionate about supporting the patient experience where and how I can. I am excited to help facilitate the Fertility Journal Healing Circle as a unique opportunity to participate in a community of trust, sharing, and listening with open hearts.
