Being on a fertility journey is hard, but it doesn’t have to consume your life
Ground to Grow will Help You Conceive with Confidence & Connection
~ Our next live cohort starts April 24th, 2025 ~
Are you finding it increasingly challenging to focus on anything outside of getting pregnant? Or to feel fully connected in your relationships…both with yourself and others?
Instead, you find yourself:
Endlessly searching Google, trying to figure out what you’re missing or doing wrong
Feeling highly stressed or anxious, which only adds to the isolation
Putting your life on hold because planning ahead feels impossible
Worrying you’re being left behind with no way to fix it
Missing out on the life you wanted
The Ground to Grow program will help you reclaim balance, resilience, and emotional well-being, even as you navigate the ups and downs of your fertility journey.
Finding Calm in the Chaos: Easing the Emotional Weight of “Trying”
Not being in control is not comfortable or easy. It’s natural to want to do everything in your power, but the more you try to control the uncontrollable, the more stress and emotional exhaustion can build.
The fertility journey is already deeply challenging, and trying to suppress your emotions only adds to the weight. Instead, allowing yourself to feel, process, and honor your experience can bring relief and ease some of the emotional burden.
If you’ve ever felt drained and depleted, know that you’re not alone. Research shows that the emotional distress of infertility can be as profound as receiving a cancer diagnosis—a striking reminder of how deeply this journey can touch every aspect of your life.
You don’t have to navigate this path by yourself. Support is available to help you through it.
You Are Not Alone:
1 in 6 People Experience Fertility Challenges
Trying to conceive can feel overwhelming—like carrying the weight of hope, fear, and uncertainty all at once.
I understand this deeply. I spent almost three years trying to conceive my only child. Month after month, I felt broken and so disappointed in my body for letting me down. It was painful and isolating to watch others grow their families while I was left waiting.
During that time, I tried everything: supplements, acupuncture, surgery, medications, and two IVF cycles. Despite my best efforts, I felt increasingly exhausted and defeated.
I had always believed hard work would bring results. But as the months passed, I realized I needed more than determination—I needed emotional tools to help me cope.
The stress and anxiety of trying to conceive can be overwhelming. But what if you could:
Quiet the mental spiral of “what ifs” and “should haves”
Ease self-doubt, frustration, and painful self-criticism
Cultivate resilience to navigate uncertainty with compassion and clarity
Learn New Ways to Meet Challenges with Gentleness
Why Managing Your Stress Matters
The fertility journey often feels like an emotional rollercoaster, and the stress it creates doesn’t just live in your mind—it impacts your body, relationships, work, and overall well-being.
Research shows that stress can:
-
Impact mood, causing increased anxiety and depression
-
Disrupt hormones, which might interfere with the body’s ability to conceive
-
Suppress immune function and increase inflammation
-
Contribute to unhealthy coping behaviours
-
Leave you feeling disconnected from yourself and others
How we meet intensity and walk alongside ourselves matters. Managing stress isn’t about suppressing hard emotions; it’s about meeting them with kindness, awareness, and care. This shift can help you move forward with greater confidence, calm, and hope, even amidst uncertainty.
Face emotional highs and lows with greater ease
Navigate the rollercoaster of hope, disappointment, and uncertainty with tools to process emotions without being consumed by them.
Stop the cycle of overthinking and self-blame
Recognize and soften harsh inner criticism, quieting the endless mental “what ifs” and “should haves.”
Build emotional resilience
as you continue TTC
Strengthen your ability to cope with the ups and downs of this journey while staying connected to what matters most: your well-being, relationships, and sense of hope.
Whether you are trying to conceive naturally, with the assistance of a fertility clinic, on your own, or with a partner, Ground to Grow was created for people like you—those searching for tools to manage the emotional challenges of fertility with grace, strength, and compassion.
Mindfulness isn’t about forcing positivity or pretending everything is okay. It’s about meeting yourself where you are, even in the hardest moments. Instead of trying to control outcomes, the Ground to Grow program will teach you to:
Real Stories, Real Results
Testimonials from Past Clients
"Thanks for creating a warm and inclusive environment for participants in the program. From the ground rules laid out at the beginning up until the end, Stephanie was kind and compassionate to everyone. This allowed people to open up and share about their experiences and learnings in our group, which I found very helpful overall. Truly a great course that I will take with me in all aspects of life, not just the fertility journey."
"The guidance in this series was so supportive and Stephanie is very responsive to the questions raised. You can tell she is on top of relevant research too, so she's able to make the content personal/relatable but also explain the brain science in an accessible way. Stephanie creates a container that is safe, supportive and welcoming to everyone."
"Part of what I liked about this series was that we didn't share the details of our journey/stories. As one person said, we didn't have to pay the price of admission. It was comforting being with others dealing with fertility journeys without going into our individual experiences."
"Stephanie is very supportive and extremely knowledgeable. She has an exquisitely grounding, calming and safe presence. It felt like a true privilege and gift to hear her unique insights and responses to students' questions and comments, and to practice alongside her."
"Mindfulness helped me get through the uncertainty and difficult times when I felt powerless. I now have tools to find myself when I feel like I lose control and when I lose myself."
"The tools and practices associated with being present and carving out time for personal self care have been so valuable on my fertility journey. The sense of solidarity, community, intimacy and shared insights in this program was tremendous."
"Words really cannot begin to express my gratitude for your support and care on this journey. I am so grateful my doctor recommended connecting with you after my second miscarriage. Your mindfulness course was a lifeboat in the stormy emotional sea post miscarriage and the space you created was so special and made me feel so much less alone. It was a space to feel understood and to reconnect with myself. And the meditation sessions kicked off what I suspect will be a lifelong meditation journey for me - one I'm sure that will ebb and flow, but one I feel confident I'll always come back to."
"I attended the 6 week series during a very difficult time in my fertility journey. Initially, I wasn't sure what to expect, having never tried mindfulness or meditation before but I soon realized the program provided invaluable tools to manage stress. It has greatly improved my day-to-day life, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for ways to navigate stress more effectively."
"The tools and practices associated with being present and carving out time for personal self care have been so valuable on my fertility journey."
"Giving your body and mind and heart space to just be is such a kindness at a time when you need it so much."
Meet Stephanie Curran
MBSR Instructor | Acupuncturist (R.TCM.P)
As a fertility specialist and mindfulness facilitator, I’m passionate about supporting individuals navigating the ups and downs of trying to conceive with compassion and care.
My own journey with infertility was a deeply personal one—a mix of hope, heartbreak, and resilience. It tested me in ways I never imagined but also reshaped my perspective and my life’s work.
Building on my background as a health practitioner, I became a certified instructor of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) through Brown University and completed training in Mindfulness-Based Childbirth and Parenting, Listening Mothers, and Mindful Schools. I also pursued coaching training to deepen my ability to guide others through the emotional complexities of TTC.
These practices taught me firsthand how mindfulness can offer a sense of grounding and resilience in the face of uncertainty. Whether you’re just beginning this path or healing from a loss, I’m here to walk alongside you—helping you cultivate strength, connection, and hope as you navigate this journey.

Your Questions, Answered
That’s okay! Ground to Grow is designed for beginners and those new to mindfulness. Every practice is introduced with simple, clear instructions to help you get started no matter your experience level.
That’s wonderful! A fresh moment is always arising, and even experienced meditators can benefit from deepening their practice. This program is specifically tailored to support the unique challenges of the fertility journey, offering tools and guidance to navigate its emotional complexities with greater ease and connection. All levels of experience with practice are welcome; the content will be relevant and supportive.
I will be leading these practice sessions via zoom on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month from 5-5:30pm PT. These practice sessions are a helpful support to continued practice and connection with community after completing the 6-week series or 12 module programs.
It will be just me on camera (for your privacy) and the chat will be open for participants to comment, connect, and participate in the Q&A. You will be emailed a zoom link and reminder emails before each session.
Your first month of membership to the G2G community is included in both programs and you can continue onward for $18/mo or $75 for 6 months.
No problem! Missing one or even two classes is fine. There are notes to support your continued practice between sessions, and you will have access to the home practices and worksheets. Live sessions are not recorded, though, to respect the privacy and trust of all participants.
At this time, the options are separate, but both provide the same core teachings to support your journey.
Both options are designed to fit into busy schedules. Live sessions are 90 minutes once a week, and self-paced modules are 15 minutes each, making it easy to integrate into your day. Audio practices are 2-10 minutes, allowing you to choose which practices feel possible and when you have time to practice. The gentle encouragement throughout both programs is prioritizing small micro-moments. Slow and steady is meaningful and helps establish a foundation of well-being that is sustainable.
Yes, we offer a refund if you decide the program isn't right for you after the first class or module. Please contact us to request a refund email support@stephaniecurran.com
No special equipment is needed. All you need is a stable internet connection, a quiet space, and a device to access the sessions or modules. A journal or notebook is recommended for reflective exercises.
Both program options include access to guided audio practices and worksheets for reflection and journaling. You also have access to the G2G community for one month which includes live practice sessions on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month with Q&A, daily mindfulness prompts on weekdays, and carefully curated newsletters with additional opportunities for guidance, learning and connection.
Absolutely! Ground to Grow is designed to support all individuals trying to conceive, whether naturally or with the assistance of a fertility clinic. The program can complement any fertility treatment plan.
You will have the option to continue with the G2G membership for $18/month or $85 for 6 months, which includes access to ongoing practice sessions with me on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month (recorded for viewing if you are unable to attend), daily mindfulness prompts on weekdays, and you’ll receive carefully curated newsletters where I share additional resources plus opportunities for guidance, learning and connection.
