IVF 101: An Alternative Pathway to Parenthood

Curious about IVF? Feeling overwhelmed by the complexity of the process, the decisions ahead, the emotional load, or the costs involved? You’re not alone, and you deserve evidence-based guidance that feels supportive, accessible, and empowering.

IVF 101 is a 2-hour live virtual masterclass that breaks down every stage of IVF so you can walk into treatment with a clear understanding of what to expect and how to advocate for yourself. Whether you’re actively preparing for a cycle, considering IVF as your next step, or wanting to make sense of your options, this class will give you the knowledge and confidence you need during one of the most important decisions of your reproductive journey.

As a registered nurse with nearly a decade of experience in fertility and reproductive endocrinology, I’ll walk you step-by-step through what IVF actually looks like—medically, logistically, emotionally, and financially—with space for your questions in a supportive and inclusive environment.
