Mind Body Wellness

Mind Body medicine recognizes that the emotions are intimately linked to physiology. The Mind Body approach to wellness recognizes that creating balance, joy and awareness in your day-to-day life-and cultivating relaxation techniques can help support your preparation for pregnancy and a healthy family. Whether you are interested in obtaining the emotional tools to better manage the fertility treatment process, or would like to create more optimal conditions for conception, Laurel Fertility Care will be with you every step of the way.

We offer a holistic Mind Body Passport Program, designed to complement and enhance your existing care with acupuncture, private and group therapy, yoga and meditation. You will receive a “passport” that will allow you to mix and mingle our mind body modalities to customize an itinerary that’s right for you. The Passport Program offers you the option of paying for your services one at a time, or purchasing treatment packages to help ensure your personal commitment to yourself. We look forward to collaborating with you on a program that’s right for you, please contact us.
