MONTEREY - Mary Kate Jordan of Monterey will discuss specific nonmedical options for couples facing fertility issues on Saturday, March 8, meeting of the Western Massachusetts chapter of the National Guild of Hypnotists.
The meeting will be held in the Bangs Community Center, Bolton Walk, Main Street, Amherst from 7 to 9 p.m.
A practicing hypnotist specializing in depth hypnosis, she developed "Depth Hypnosis Fertility Quest," her client process option, and "Shamanic Fertility Quest," her vision quest option, in response to the needs of those in her circle.
"All the skills I've developed over the last 30 years, both in my client practice and in my volunteer work, have lead up to this way of offering help," Jordan says. "It's also an extension of a deep personal transformation I had on a shamanic study program in the Orkney Islands in Scotland."
She said the quests are different approaches than medical procedures for infertility.
"Neither method offers guarantees, and each has its own area of expertise," she said. "Couples can explore both possibilities and then decide which to choose, or how to balance them so they work together."
A "Shamanic Fertility Quest" will be scheduled in the Berkshires for later in the spring. For more information, contact Jordan at 413-528-5557 or MaryKate@YourSpiritualSolutions.com.
North Adams Regional Hospital went smoke-free Monday — so did all its sister sites, from Sweet Brook to Northern Berkshire Family Practice to the Women's Exchange. No ashtrays, no smoking: No butts about it.
