What past participants say:

"I wanted to share some rather miraculous news with you......I also wanted to say that I can now see how attending the Mind and Body course was one of the smartest decisions I made in the last 12 months. It has given us both tremendous comfort and support as we worked through the IVF processes. Thank you again for the help and care you gave to us."

"I just wanted to thank you for all your support and guidance with the Mind/Body course. The course provided me with the skills to cope with my infertility and introduced me to a wonderful group of women. I'm now pregnant and due at the beginning of August. I look back over the last year and I can't believe how far I've come mentally, physically and emotionally. My husband and I are looking forward to this next stage in our lives but we continue to use the skills that we learned on the course. I know we are both stronger for it. I wish you all the best and much success on future courses!"

"It was after reading a brochure in reception at Bridge that made me want to join Mind/Body and I hope my words inspire other women to join your course. For me it wasn't about instant success - but developing skills and maintaining a positive mental attitude to get one through. I've had a very smooth pregnancy so far and I believe it is because I'm much calmer now."

"Only six months after the end of the course it is now 7 pregnant out of 11 and I think there will be more. We're all convinced the Mind/Body group works!"

"Thank you so much for the course. I did relaxation and meditation every day during the successful treatment I started towards the end of it. The treatment was very stressful - almost cancelled. I don't know how I would have got through it and the two week wait without everything I had learnt. And we have been able to support each other through our pregnancies."

" I thought a group would be too touchy-feely for me and I wasn’t keen on making a lot of new friends either! The other side of it, I wish I’d signed up sooner. I have benefited so much.”

“We managed to get pregnant naturally while waiting for IVF. I seriously believe I would never have got pregnant naturally if it wasn’t for the group. I mean, 5 years of serious trying really is proof of that.“

“I left every session feeling better than when I arrived.”

“Because we had chosen not to tell anyone about our fertility problems (too emotional), the group was a unique and fantastic support."

“It was a life-saver. I learned so many techniques I can use in everyday life, as well as getting a terrific support network.”

“I cannot say it too often – this is the best £395 I ever spent. The programme got me out of the infertility rut.”

“I feel the combination of the information provided on research, diet and relaxation techniques not only helped me to conceive, but also helped me to better cope both mentally and physically with IVF. Everyone should do this programme.”

“I would like to share with you my wonderful news: I am pregnant after my first attempt of IVF since attending the Mind/Body programme. Please could you pass on my sincere thanks to all staff at Bridge.”

“I really came away from the Mind/Body programme feeling I had learnt so much, tools I can take away and use in everyday life.”

You do not have to be a Bridge patient to attend Mind/Body courses.
