Food, Feelings 

& Fertility

ONLINE COURSE - Dates for Next Session TBD

For those who dream of starting a family, doctors visits, fertility tests, and procedures are seldom part of the picture. 

​

And yet, roughly 1 in 6 couples experience infertility in Canada, defined by the inability to achieve clinical pregnancy after 12 or more months of regular unprotected sex. Despite how common infertility has become, feelings of shame and secrecy continue to surround the diagnosis. As such, we've developed this online course to help you feel supported through your journey.
