Fertility Circle: Reconnecting with your body's wisdom

Over dit evenement

Reconnecting with your body's wisdom

There comes a point on the fertility journey where you realize you’ve done everything you possibly could. You’ve followed the advice, tracked the cycles, read the books, adjusted your lifestyle — and still, your mind feels full and tired, while your body feels distant. This half-day fertility circle is an invitation to step out of the constant thinking and gently reconnect with the body that carries you through this journey.

In a small group of maximum ten women, we create a safe and supportive space in Oegstgeest (near Leiden) to help you reconnect with your body's intuitive wisdom. Through a sharing circle, simple body-based practices, journaling, and guided meditation, we work with nervous system regulation and begin restoring trust in the body’s natural intelligence. Rather than trying to fix or control the fertility journey, we practice listening — to sensations, emotions, and the quiet intuitive knowing that often gets lost in the process of trying to conceive.

This gathering is the introductory circle of a series focused on reconnecting with the body and its wisdom during the fertility journey, but it is open to anyone who feels called to join. The circle is guided by Françoise Molenaar, whose work combines nervous system awareness with her own fertility journey and background in resilience research, together with Semin Suvarierol Hoen, who supports women through pregnancy, birth, and loss with deep care and presence. Together, we hold a space where you don’t have to do anything right — you can simply arrive as you are.

Your facilitators:

Françoise Molenaar is a women's group facilitator, fertility coach and host of the podcast 'That Fertile Feeling'. Her own fertility journey lasted for over a decade, during which time she learned the importance of surrender and trusting life to unfold on its own pace. She guided women back to their bodies and shows them how to find a bit of lightness even in the darkest of times.

Semin Suvarierol Hoen is a fertility & birth doula offers holistic support for fertility, pregnancy, and birth. She has become a mother of 2 kids, after working through her own fertility challenges. Her support focuses on (re)building the trust in the body, working through emotional blockages related to the reproductive organs, and (re)finding your creative power. Her doula support combines counseling & coaching, belly massage, and rituals around fertility and grief.


What is a women's circle:

A women's circle is a space where you can lovingly connect with other women and feel supported by a sisterhood. We facilitate the process from a feminine flow, creating space for your story, your emotions, and your being. We work from the body, allowing whatever needs to be felt to emerge. This circle is open to both beginners and those who have attended before.

Something magical happens when women come together. You naturally begin to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and leave the circle feeling light and recharged. Many of us have learned that being in a group of women isn’t always safe—think bullying, mean girl dynamics, or jealousy. The circle offers a space to release these old wounds and experience the deep healing that comes from connecting with other women who are on a similar journey.
