Women’s Fertility Retreat, November 4-6
Trying to conceive? Fertility challenges can be compounded by emotional stress, relationship stress, and physical stress on the body. We invite you to join experienced leaders Carol Knoph, M.Ed., LMHC, and Lynn Jensen, RYT, MBA for a relaxing weekend in the country, learning their empowered approach to fertility.
