Infertility & Miscarriage
Support Group
We know the journey through infertility and miscarriage can feel incredibly isolating, but you don’t have to walk it alone.
We’re deeply honored to welcome Cameron Rasnake, LPC-MHSP (T) of Safe Haven Counseling as she leads a new support group at Empassion Pelvic Health, created just for women navigating or healing from infertility and/or loss.
Cameron brings not only her professional expertise, but also her personal experience to hold space for the hard, the tender, and the healing. This group is here to offer comfort, connection, and community, because every story matters, and yours is welcome here.
We’ll gather the last Saturday of each month from 9:30–11:00 AM, starting May 31st, at our cozy downtown Johnson City location.
To join us, visit www.empassionpelvichealth.com/workshops so we can set the space with care and intention.​
Breastfeeding Class
with Optimal Nuturing
Is your due date in June, July, or August? It's time for you to take a breastfeeding class!
When I asked my lactation clients about the one thing they would change about their breastfeeding experience, most of them say they wish they would have learned about breastfeeding before their baby was born or they wish they would have reached out for help sooner.
Come to class! This is a video-based class where you will actually get to see moms and babies breastfeeding.
When: May 25, 2025 2:30pm
Where: Bristol Public Library Sunday
