If you’re navigating miscarriage, infertility, or any type of pregnancy loss such as abortion or medical termination, you may be feeling grief, anger, emptiness, regret or a deep sense of sadness and isolation. You probably find yourself thinking about the loss constantly—or perhaps you’re trying to push it away just to get through the day.
Though, no matter what you do, it still shows up—a post on social media, seeing a pregnant woman, watching a movie or show or the evening news, or receiving a text from your friend that she’s pregnant or that colleague’s invite to a baby shower.
It’s painful.
Though unseen on the outside, your experience of loss and heartache is tangible and deeply felt on the inside. It’s changed your daily functioning, the relationship you have with your partner, loved ones, even yourself. The vision for your life has been altered, maybe even shattered.
You deserve a compassionate space where this heartache and complexity can be held with warmth, understanding, and care.
At Calm Hearts Counseling, our founder Christine Slomski, specializes in Reproductive Grief & Loss. We provide support for infertility and the spectrum of pregnancy loss within a gentle, caring, and supportive space to process what you’ve lost, and to begin the healing journey.
Reproductive grief and loss can impact every part of your life—your body, your relationships, your sense of identity, and your hopes for the future. Whether your journey includes fertility struggles, an infertility diagnosis, miscarriage, abortion, or other forms of reproductive losses, the weight of it can feel so overwhelming—and is often unseen by others.
At Calm Hearts Counseling in Mesa, Arizona, we meet you with compassion and grace, creating space for both the grief and the complexity of your experience—without pressure, judgment, or expectation.
You’re Not Alone If…
…You look fine on the outside
after a loss so personal.
But inside? You’re crumbling.
A Compassionate Approach to Grieving a Loss as Unique as You Are
Experiences like infertility, miscarriage, abortion, and other forms of pregnancy and reproductive loss can quietly reshape your relationship with your body. You may feel disconnected from it, frustrated by it, or unsure how to trust it again. At the same time, your nervous system may still be holding the stress, grief, or medical intensity of what you’ve been through, especially if you’re in a season to conceive again.
In our work together, we tend to the emotional, physical, relational, even spiritual layers of your experience—creating space for your grief while also helping your body, mind and spirit find moments of relief and peace. This might look like slowing things down, noticing what feels supportive, and rebuilding a sense of safety within yourself. We place emphasis on learning how to ask for what you need from others, and honoring the reality that no two pregnancy losses or fertility journeys are alike.

Find Your Way Through Infertility & Pregnancy Loss with Compassionate Grief Care
-
Yes! This is incredibly common. Grief after pregnancy loss can be intense, complex, and often isolating. Many women experience waves of sadness, anxiety, anger, or numbness. Therapy offers a space where your emotions can be expressed and supported without judgment. You’ll receive tools to navigate this outside of session.
-
Absolutely. Infertility and fertility treatments can be emotionally and physically exhausting. Therapy can help you process the uncertainty, manage anxiety, navigate decision-making, and feel more grounded throughout your journey.
-
Reproductive loss & trauma refers to distressing or overwhelming experiences related to fertility, pregnancy, or birth. This can include miscarriage, stillbirth, infertility, abortion, TFMR, various medical procedures. It’s often experienced as a loss of control and identity surrounding reproduction. These experiences can impact your emotional well-being, mental outlook, identity, the body’s nervous system, as well as your relationships.
-
Loss, grief and trauma are not just emotional—they’re highly physical. They’re stored in the body. A mind-body approach helps regulate your nervous system, reduce feelings of overwhelm, and supports your body in feeling safer, while also creating space to process your emotions.
-
We believe tears are healing. Sometimes, the only (safe) place we can “let it all out” is in therapy. If that’s the case, then this can be a space for you to process and heal as you receive compassionate support.
-
There is no timeline for grief. Some believe that grief lasts a lifetime, though it will change form and intensity over time.
-
Yes! In addition to in-person therapy in Mesa, Arizona, virtual sessions are available for clients in Gilbert, Chandler, Tempe, Scottsdale, and throughout Arizona.
The Calm Hearts
Grief Manifesto:
We will be gentle with ourselves, remembering that grief is a journey, and there is no “right way” to grieve. It is our own, personal journey. We decide what feels right for us, releasing the opinions or critiques of others.
01
We will honor that no two losses are the same and no two people grieve alike. Therefore, we will refrain from judging ourselves as well as others in how we choose, or need, to grieve and mourn.
02
We will learn to take the minutes, days, and weeks as they come, remembering that we can’t rush through grief. Grief is a process, and not a problem to be solved.
