CrossRoads Retreat

Courageously Step Into What Comes Next...

This retreat is for women who feel emotionally stuck after IVF, navigating
Donor Egg/Sperm, Adoption or Surrogacy decisions
or quietly grieving after years of
trying to conceive.

This is for the woman caught in the space no one talks about...

When trying ends but the grief doesn’t...

...where the plans have paused, but your heart hasn’t.

Where the questions are louder than ever, and the answers feel impossibly far away.

If you have found yourself in a relentless loop of questions about what’s next and unable to move forward…
…then this message is the most important read in your infertility journey.

Dear Brave Infertility Survivor,

You’ve done everything.
Held onto hope.
Pushed through heartbreak.
Tried to make peace with outcomes you never wanted.
What now?

Now… it’s time for something else.
Not more waiting. Not more effort.

A space to feel.
A space to rest.
A space to let yourself move gently into what’s next.

Let them. Let go. Let in.
You don’t have to carry it all anymore.

If you feel this is speaking directly to you, then let’s talk.

This Might Be You…

You’ve finished (or paused) IVF treatment, but the grief hasn’t left your body.
You’re considering Donor Eggs—but the decision feels heavy, unclear, and isolating.
You can’t talk to anyone about what you’re really carrying—not fully.

You’re mentally and emotionally exhausted, stuck in a “What now?” loop.
You’re afraid to move forward, but staying here feels just as painful.
You feel broken and you’re tired of carrying so much alone.

A Personal Note from Elouise

There was a time when I didn’t know how to keep going—but I didn’t know how to stop either.

What I needed most wasn’t advice. It wasn’t hope.

It was permission.

To fall apart. To feel what was real. To choose again—this time, from clarity.

That’s why I created this space.

Because this part of the fertility journey is invisible to almost everyone.

But not to me…

…and not to the women who will sit with you in this room.

You don’t have to keep surviving.

You’re not alone.

You’re becoming. You’re beginning again.

Love,

Elouise

A Personal Note from Saskia

For the seven years I battled infertility, my deepest fear was: “What if I never hear a little voice call me Mommy?”

There are no guarantees with fertility treatment. If there were, it would be easier to pick yourself up after each setback and keep going.

But the not knowing - that’s the hardest part.
It can feel like a black hole that swallows up all hope.

It consumes us.

Your fears are real and they are valid.
Everyone you’ll meet at this retreat has faced their own version of this pain.

Together, we’ll hold space for one another; with understanding, compassion and courage.

With love,
Saskia

Here’s What This Retreat Offers

This isn’t about fixing you.

And it’s not about finding a new plan.

This is a place to land. To breathe. To reconnect with the part of you which knows what’s true—even when the answers still feel far away.

This retreat offers the space to finally put it down.

You’ll be held in a safe, intimate setting alongside women who get it.

No pretending. No performance. Just honest space for healing.

The Heart of the Work

We move gently through a grounded emotional framework:

Acceptance. Forgiveness. Courage.

You won’t just learn these words—you’ll feel your way through them…

In your body. In your story. In your truth.

This isn’t therapy. It’s not about mindset.

It’s about emotional clarity and self-trust—something which has been buried beneath years of trying.

Here’s What You’ll Leave With

A deeper sense of peace, even if nothing is “resolved”.
A decision—small or big—which feels honest and unforced.
Emotional relief and nervous system calm.
Relief from the looping thoughts, guilt, and invisible grief.
A felt understanding that your worth is not tied to motherhood.
Tools to anchor yourself beyond the retreat.
Peace isn’t the absence of pain. It’s the presence of clarity.

Why This Matters

So many women delay healing because they don’t know how to begin and it’s not their fault.

Or…

…they believe they need to be done grieving before they’re allowed to rest.

I know, because I’ve been there.

But you don’t have to wait for clarity to arrive before you start living again.

Staying stuck doesn’t protect your peace.

This retreat helps you find it—gently, honestly, and on your terms.

Who This Is (and Isn’t) For

This IS for you if

You’re post-IVF, considering Donor Eggs, or frozen in decision-making.
You’ve tried every possible treatment, with little to no results and exhausted from navigating this alone.
You’ve delayed healing because you didn’t know where to begin.
You want to feel whole again—even if the outcome doesn’t look like you imagined.
You need a space which holds your grief and your hope without judgment.

This IS NOT for you if

You’re seeking a fertility protocol or treatment plan.
You’re not ready to explore the emotional and psychological impact of this journey.
You believe pushing through is the only option.

If you feel this is speaking directly to you, then we should talk

You’re not alone. You’re becoming. You’re beginning again.

Courageously step into what comes next...
