Involuntarily childless or childless not by choice women. It’s an honour to meet you. I’m sorry for the difficult circumstances and heartbreak that may have led you here. My hope is you can experience the love, care and support you need to live well and heal your beautiful heart. This is offered, with the deep, heart-felt knowing, that comes from being an involuntarily childless woman too. My personal story includes deeply desiring motherhood, 10 years trying to conceive (including IVF), leaving the clinic and struggling to find appropriate support. It was devastating, and I knew there must be other women just like me.
After healing and growth, I gathered up 35 years of experience as a counsellor, group worker, training & education facilitator, and founded the Empty Cradle - a healing and support service for women transitioning to permanent involuntary childlessness. We offer online counselling; workshops; programs; resources; and the power of a loving community.
These tender, practical and evidence-based services are designed to help you heal your heart, feel confident & worthy, nurture connection, explore meaning and purpose, navigate the identity reconstruction and existential life transition from potential mother to being at peace & thriving as a childless-not-by-choice woman. You're welcome here.
