Meditation Support Group

The meditation support group has really helped me to feel at peace with my fertility journey. I'm less focused on the day to day details and keep the long term perspective in mind. Jenilyn has such encouraging words and a positive spirit to share with us. It's so helpful to be in a space with other women with similar experiences. Now I try to remember to just BREATHE.

Jenilyn has a sunny outlook on life and you can feel it. No matter what kind of day I have had at work, once I walk into Jenilyn’s class I feel a positive and calming energy. The combination of conversation and meditation exercises helps all the participants bond as a group. At home I get distracted easily and appreciate the enhanced benefits of meditating with a group.

After receiving the news of another failed IVF cycle, our third, I felt so much sadness and disappointment. I lost interest in the things that bring me peace and balance (yoga, acupuncture, meditation). I hit rock bottom and needed something/someone to help snap me out of it. I've enjoyed so many of the services and classes at PDTM so when I saw the announcement for the mediation class, I knew I had to attend and hoped that this is what would help get me back on track. And it did! Jenilyn's methods were inviting and comforting. She tailored the class based on our needs. I left feeling so uplifted and at peace. I'll be going back! Carrie

My first time meditating was in Jenilyn's Yoga for Fertility, Phase 1 series. Prior to that, I had been "meaning" to start meditating as a way to calm my mind and heart. I just lacked guidance and was unsure (a.k.a. intimidated) on how to begin on my own. Since working with Jenilyn for several months now, and participating in several of her series of classes (both her yoga and meditation), I have found mediation to be one of the most restorative and challenging experiences I have tried as an adult. It has not only helped me reshape my thinking and navigate emotionally difficult times, but it gives me a sense of calm that I am not sure I could find any other way. Claire
