Come enjoy an afternoon of relaxation, and leave with tools you can use on your own!
About this Event

Welcome to Restoring Balance: Relaxation Tools for Your Fertility Journey. If you’re navigating a difficult and stressful fertility journey (aren’t they all?!), you’ve come to the right place!

During this 90 minute workshop, you will enjoy some wonderfully relaxing Qi Gong, guided meditation, and breathwork–all modalities that trigger your body’s natural relaxation response, thus helping you feel calmer and more at ease.

We’ll begin with Qi Gong, and through the use of gentle movements, deep breathing, and meditation, we’ll energize your body and mind. Next we’ll move into a guided meditation to help you find a deep state of relaxation, while strengthening the connection between your mind and your body. Finally, we’ll close out the hour with some breathwork designed to help you release any stuck energy that remains inside your body.

You will leave feeling deeply relaxed, but at the same time energized and refreshed. Additionally, you’ll have learned some new techniques that you can try on your own whenever you’d like.

More about Qi Gong

“Qi” represents energy, and “Gong” signifies skill or cultivation. Thus, Qi Gong translates to "the skill of cultivating your life-force energy." Qi Gong enables you to nurture positive energy and promote healing from within–so important when you’re struggling to conceive! The flowing movements, focused breathing, and mindfulness combine to energize both body and mind.

Meet Your Instructors

Hello! I’m Kristen Wilson, and I specialize in Qi Gong and breathwork. I have a deep passion for exploring the interconnectedness of the mind, body, spirit, and emotions, with a particular fascination for the life-giving energy that sustains us all. Teaching Qi Gong and breathwork brings me immense joy as I witness the transformative effects these practices have on individuals’ lives. This practice is much more than mere exercise; its primary aim is to foster relaxation in the body, mind, and heart. By releasing the stress and tension we carry, we open ourselves to allow energy to flow freely, leading to a sense of calm, centeredness, and emotional balance.When our energy is in motion, we can experience enhanced emotional equilibrium, mental clarity, and physical health, helping us feel vibrant and connected to ourselves, others and nature.

Hello, I’m Becky Ackerman, and I’m a fertility coach. As a former fertility patient myself, I understand exactly what you’re going through. Mind-body practices played such a critical part in my fertility journey, and passing that on to other women who are working to get pregnant has become my passion. Being led through a guided meditation is one of the most relaxing things I know of, and I look forward to leading you during this workshop!

We look forward to seeing you soon!
