Cultivate Balance

This program is effective because it looks at a holistic picture of your life — taking into consideration lifestyle choices, emotional balance, nutrition, environment and connection with your spirit. The Art of Fertility is a two-fold journey: you will begin by first eliminating toxins from both the body and mind and will then move into gently building the optimal temple in which to nourish your baby. The two-fold approach is uniquely effective, as we understand that it is vital to find balance and clear out toxins before nourishing the womb and building the vital energies that support new life.

This program is supportive for people seeking to conceive naturally, as well as for those seeking to conceive using IVF. If you are looking for a holistic, effective and enjoyable journey to conception, and you are willing to commit to making small and sustained shifts in your life, this program is for you. You will find benefit from this program whether you are just beginning your fertility journey, or if you have been on the path for some time and have tried several other approaches. You do not need a baseline level of health nor regular cycles for this program to work.

This program draws its wisdom from the ancient holistic healing science of India, known as Ayurveda. With thousands of years of case studies proving its efficacy, Ayurveda offers clear, simple action steps that truly promote and support pregnancy. What’s special about The Art of Fertility is the ability to integrate the Ayurvedic principles and practices from the comfort of your own home, rather than spending thousands of dollars to receive them in an Ayurvedic treatment facility. In addition, you will discover that the wisdom offered throughout this program will support your general health and wellbeing so that you experience more vitality in your life overall.

The sooner you can begin this protocol in your fertility journey, the better. According to Ayurveda, fertility of the womb is akin to the fertility of a field — the more intention we put into pulling out the weeds and mending the soil, the better chances our seeds have to thrive. Ideally, you will begin this program 4 months before you intend to conceive or undergo IVF.

An ancient medical science, Ayurveda offers a rich, deep and dynamic body of knowledge that supports holistic wellness on a deep level. Believed to be the oldest system of healing on Earth, Ayurveda is distinct in that it tailors preventative wellness, as well as the treatment of acute and chronic conditions, to the unique constitution of the individual. The focus is on bringing the elements (earth, water, fire, air and ether) within the individual’s body back into balance, as it is the imbalance and provocation of the elements that are the cause of any kind of disease. You can think of Ayurveda as the art of living in relation(ship) to the world around us.

Cultivate Balance is a wellness practice that is rooted in Ayurveda, weaving ancient wisdom for holistic healing into the modern context. Founders Molly McConnell and Sierra Brashear are clinical Ayurvedic practitioners who believe that self care is a radical act — when you are vibrant and awake, you have the clarity and energy to show up for what you believe in. The Cultivate Balance approach to wellness inspires a deep understanding and appreciation for the individual in a way that is soulful, embodied and accessible. Through personal consultations and educational opportunities, Molly and Sierra work to inspire individuals to reclaim their self love and live their deepest expression of wellness through easy-to-implement nutrition, daily routine and self care rituals. The goal is to nurture yourself so you can nurture the world. Now, more than ever, we are being called to return home to ourselves and the Earth.

The Art of Fertility is a fully remote learning opportunity — this virtual program can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection, and you will implement the practices in your own home or space. Cultivate Balance is based in Boulder, Colorado and we are proud to offer our online course content to participants all over the world.
