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.
