Meditation

While stress doesn’t cause infertility, infertility often causes stress. Meditation provides real stress-relieving benefits, in addition to its ability to help one focus on being fully present. This ability can help to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and provide a sense of calm.

Yoga, meditation and other forms of mindful activities can provide great value, providing significant benefits throughout the family building journey. 

Fertility Meditation Series

Helen Bet Givargis, our acupuncturist and former embryologist, has created this video series to help patients understand how meditation can help during the family building journey. 

First, learn more about meditation by watching the introduction to meditation video. The additional videos are helpful throughout the IVF or IUI process, before, during and after.
