We Are Fearless
Welcome to Fearless’ blog! We're excited to welcome you to our centre, get to know you, and introduce our team. Since this is our first blog post, we wanted to introduce ourselves.
We are Fearless Wellness Centre. A team passionate about fertility and pregnancy. We love supporting families in their fertility and birth journeys.
Getting pregnant isn’t easy.
From a science point of view, it's simple. A sperm meets an egg, they join forces, and form a zygote. The zygote becomes a ball of cells called a blastocyst. The blastocyst nuzzles in the nutrient-rich lining of the uterus and an embryo develops. This can happen through intercourse, home insemination, intrauterine insemination or in vitro fertilization.
Although this seems so simple we understand that the process is nothing but. There are a lot of factors that affect fertility. Age, previous pregnancies, sperm health, life stressors, and medical conditions are only a few examples. As someone experiencing this, it can feel overwhelming, confusing, exciting, unpredictable, and lonely.
That’s where our team comes in.
We’re Here To Support You, Your Family, and Your Choices
When you’re trying to conceive and bring a child into the world, having the right support is crucial. You'll be talking about your medical history, relationships, menstrual cycles, birthing and family goals, choices, and feelings.
You need to be comfortable and trust that you have a fertility and birth team to support you.
Finding the right team to support you and your family during this journey can take time. At Fearless Wellness Centre, all new fertility and birth clients have an interview with our owner, Anna. This meeting allows our team to meet you, answer questions you might have, talk about your goals, and make a plan.
Our goal during this interview is to make sure our clients feel comfortable, safe, and trust our team.
Why Fearless?
We recognize that fertility and pregnancy can also bring feelings of fear. Fear is a big emotion, especially when you’re starting or expanding your family.
Fear is one of seven emotions that everyone faces. It plays a key role in keeping us safe and avoiding danger. Like many emotions, it can range from nervousness and anxiety to panic and terror.
Fear is triggered by the threat of harm, real or imagined. It affects our physical, emotional and psychological wellbeing. While it's helpful when avoiding bears in the woods, it can also pop up at not so convenient times. Our past experiences add to this fear.
Fear can drive us to not be our best self. It can feel like a bag of bricks weighing you down. As it’s an important emotion to keeping us safe, it also has physical, emotional, and mental effects on our bodies. Parts of our brain activate, hormones release, and systems in our body speed up or slow down. It can create blocks and pain that impact your fertility and pregnancy journey.
So, why did we choose the name Fearless Wellness Centre?
Our hope is that when people leave our centre, they are lighter, more confident, and more FEARLESS. We want our clients to know we’re here to support them, their families, and their choices, no matter what they are.
Our team is here to hold space for you and your feelings, educate you about your options, and advocate for you. You’ll find no judgement, pressure, or expectations. We’re here to join your birthing team and agenda every step of the way.
So, are you ready to meet the team?
