Amira Posner has a Masters in Social Work and is dedicating her career to help and support women struggling with infertility. Amira has developed and facilitates “The Mind-Body Fertility Group” and the Fab Fertile: Mindfulness Fertility series. Having been on her own journey of secondary infertility, she has a very unique lens through which she supports women on their journey. In today’s episode, Michelle and Amira explore deeper emotions associated with infertility such as anger, anxiety, depression, jealousy, and shame. They also talk about the fertile body method, the mind-body connection and the ways healing can be facilitated with her framework called “letting go coping” as well as all the mind-body modalities available for individuals going through a challenging time. Amira also leads the audience into a brief meditation so you can experience how Amira provides mind-body wellness for her community.
