We made this page to show the honest and real words of our alumni. These aren't reviews to sell a program. They are small sampling of the honest stories of life change and hope.
For me, the process group has been exactly what I needed. I wish that this was more widely known so that I could have gone through it early on in my infertility journey. I could have avoided a lot of heartache.
The most valuable piece for me was realizing how much I need relationships and how I need to be aware of my needs so that I can get them met in relationship. Infertility has been an incredibly lonely experience for me and I had focused on how my community was failing me instead of focusing on what I needed to do to get my needs met.
My experience with the process group was insightful. It has given tools that will carry me through not only infertility, but through life.
My experience with the process group was great. This was the first time I had ever done something like this because I was afraid of how others were going to see me once I shared. Boy was I wrong!
As soon as we started it was established that this space was safe to share, to cry, to scream, to curse but most importantly to heal! I went in feeling alone and left with a tribe to lean on. So grateful.
There are still so few resources for those who are in the throes of infertility, and this process group is an amazing addition to this community, filling a deep void. The ability to have a caring, supportive network of those who truly understand what each other is going through is priceless.
This process group is unique in that there is extensive self-work and there are tools to equip each participant to better understand their deep-seated development, how it has manifested in their current feelings and needs, how it is impacting their day to day and their relationships, and how to navigate amidst the stressors of infertility.
Completely life changing. An amazing community of people, led by the brilliant Uniquely Knitted team, who all helped and supported me through this incredible 6-week process group.
I could not have wished for more. It helped me more than I can possibly say.
The process group provided me and my husband with tools to work through our feelings about our infertility journey. Also, I would add it gave us language to better discuss our thoughts with each other.
This process group helped me to begin to see the layers of isolation I was experiencing and creating through my infertility journey and other parts of my life. It is wonderful and unique because, unlike other support groups, you are given tools for identifying, acknowledging, grieving and healing through the trauma you experienced.
My group had people with different stories on different paths and in varying stages of their journey, but this process group helped us all relate and hold space for each other. I felt a sense of community and understanding I have not had in years. The Uniquely Knitted team helped me begin my healing journey and made me feel less alone in my journey. I am forever grateful.
This process group was just what I needed during this infertility journey. It has allowed me to understand and process many of the emotions that I've experienced, as well as taught me valuable coping skills. The group is so well written and taught. The Uniquely Knitted team brings so much energy, wisdom, and fun! I would 100% recommend this group!
This process group has been such a powerful experience for me. Before joining, I felt really isolated, misunderstood, and unsupported by my closest friends. This group helped me to make sense of some of the “misses” in my relationships and learn skills to better communicate my feelings, needs, and boundaries.
It also provided me a community where I feel that I truly belong, where others reminded me that I am worthy regardless of if I have children or not. This has been a huge light for me in a really dark season of life. Thank you!
I am sure you must hear this all the time, but it is true: my experience with the process group was life changing. I was scared and anxious to join, but also desperate to try something different. I was desperate to feel better, even if only slightly.
I was in pain and isolated, not because I did not have social support, and not because I did not have tools, but because I did not have anybody in my life who could see my pain in the way that I (it turns out) needed it to be seen. There is something transformative about sharing space with people who can really see and connect with you, especially around something as difficult and traumatic as infertility.
It was extremely positive and helpful. The weekly cadence and the group size all felt achievable and approachable.
Having the Uniquely Knitted group over the last 6 weeks has been so good for me and my husband. It was so helpful to put some language to our struggles, to be seen, and to be understood by others who are experiencing infertility. It made me feel less alone.
I really enjoyed my time with my group. I felt so connected to my group members and look forward to continuing the connections outside of our group. It was helpful to have intentional time each week to reflect on my infertility experience so far and process with people who understand what it’s like to be in the middle of it.
The group was more supportive than I expected it to be. I think the structured facilitator model creates a lot of safety and predictability that can be lacking in other peer groups.
Very helpful and eye opening. The teaching about asking for what you need was incredibly useful and I’ll take that with me going forward. Our facilitator, Krista, was amazing and held such a supportive space. She’s an amazing human being.
I appreciate that everyone got a session to focus on their story so we could feel seen and heard without jumping to the next person. Thank you for such a wonderful program. It’s nice to know I’m not alone.
This time was incredibly powerful. I feel so supported and understood after this experience. The group and facilitator were all so kind, insightful, and helpful.
My feelings and thoughts throughout infertility feel “normal,” all because of how well my group could relate to my story. I also feel inspired to reconnect better with my local support system. Lastly, I am grateful to continue to have the entire community’s support on Discord.
Healing. This is the second time I’ve done this and both times I’ve been so so grateful!
I felt that it was a very helpful experience to go through the process group. I loved the combination of the videos which provided a lot of important insights relevant to the experience of infertility (and honestly life) as well as the opportunity to discuss in the group and apply some of the things we learned.
Being able to discuss helped us to go deeper than just keeping it at a surface level. I felt like having a facilitator helped with the structure and to help prompt the group forward when the group was quiet or shy.
I was nervous at first because I’ve never been in any kind of process group or group therapy before. However the genuine vulnerability and kindness of everyone made me feel very emotionally safe. The more I learned, the more I realized I fit right in with everyone there.
It was a wonderful experience. I treasure the feelings of being so seen, supported and held in connection with my team after sharing my story.
I loved my process group experience. Would recommend to anyone going through infertility. The videos are excellent, so transferable to life hardships in general (even outside infertility). I see myself going back to watch them again and again.
Also loved how well structured the group is. I only craved for the sessions to be a bit longer so we could have a bit of time for brief informal check-in conversation before diving in to discussing the video topic and the processing spotlight. Looking forward to joining the 2.0 program!
Before this group, I didn’t feel comfortable sharing anything about my IVF journey. I felt like I had to keep it in, wait until “things got better,” and suffer in silence. I felt so alone, so overwhelmed, and so anxious.
I almost didn’t sign up for this group (I was nervous), but I grabbed the last spot and I’m so glad I did. For the first time in this journey, I felt truly seen and connected. Showing up scared and being vulnerable really does work :) I knew this in my head, but to actually experience it was so special! I’m so glad that I took a chance with this group because I’ve learned so much and made meaningful connections. I enjoyed the videos and learning from therapists and real experiences. I truly appreciate Natalie and Krista for leading our group.
It was amazing. I healed so much in such a short time. I didn’t realize how much grief I hadn’t processed. I also didn’t understand why I felt so isolated and hurt by so many family and friends trying to support me during all of this.
The skills helped me learn how to be with my reality and start to share with people that I just need them to be sad with me right now. I also love every woman in group.
I joined the group seeking community and a sense of peace while actively undergoing treatment for my third egg retrieval. By the end of the experience, I felt deeply seen and validated by the women in my group. Having a dedicated support network while enduring treatment helped me better manage the stress and gave me a safe space to process each milestone as it came.
You can share parts of this journey with friends and family, but there’s something uniquely powerful about speaking with women who are sitting in the same emotions in real time.
Thank you to the Uniquely Knitted team for creating a safe space for infertility community to come together. I'm coming away from this experience with a better understanding of how I can advocate for my needs, and the community that I was searching for.
My time in the Uniquely Knitted process group was amazing, for all the wrong reasons (because infertility sucks), but it has given me an outlet and a broader understanding and language for what I'm struggling with. I felt seen and heard from the first meeting, and I felt that Uniquely Knitted held our hands through the 6 weeks.
I developed trust within the group really fast, and it has been so growing for me to see this journey in a new light and be confirmed in all my struggles. I'm very, very grateful!!
It was exactly what I needed and I am so grateful to have met such amazing people. This group felt like a safe place to connect and be honest. I felt so alone and lost for connection but didn’t know how to get it.
This group has given me the tools to rebuild connections with my husband and my parents. The feedback I got after sharing my journey was powerful to hear because I felt like I was carrying so much weight and responsibility, but now I feel lighter and more capable.
It was wonderful. I felt extremely supported and I found the ability to both share my story and hear other stories healing.
I found it really helpful, and that it gave me something I have been looking for for a long time. Being in a space with other people who are going through similar experiences is so valuable.
I really loved my process group time. At first, I was nervous to join, but it became something I really looked forward to. I'm sad it's over.
I thought it might be weird to have such a small group, but it gave us lots of time to share and process and I feel like I grew quite close to everybody. I liked that the videos introduced the concepts and I could mull them over before we talked about them in group. Thinking about them over multiple days really helped me grasp the concepts and think about them in the context of my own story. Krista was an excellent facilitator.
It was great. My husband and I really benefited from participating in this group with others experiencing similar struggles.
My time in the process group was helpful in several ways. I really enjoyed the videos and felt like they gave me the opportunity to begin to process what I've been through.
Hearing the stories of the other individuals in my group was really my first time engaging with others who were also facing fertility challenges. It made me feel less alone and more open to sharing my story. This process group was truly something I needed.
This was an incredible healing space. It allowed me to feel less alone and more able to endure the challenges of fertility treatment.
It was great. It felt so good to have a space where I could talk about my infertility with people who really understood me and I didn’t have to educate them along the way.
I found this process group after seeing a Uniquely Knitted TikTok. It’s funny because I started off feeling vulnerable and finding it difficult to talk about my feelings, and by the end of the group, I found community. I was sad to see the group end after all of us sharing so much.
Natalie was fantastic and she was always there to lead us and fill in the gaps if we struggled. I really enjoyed my time in our process group.
Uniquely Knitted allowed me to be comfortable in accepting where I am in my journey. It gave me a community of support during the most difficult time in my life.
I felt so seen. I was able to share my story, and it felt uplifting to share with people who understood. After sharing and listening to others share, I felt as though a deep grief had been lifted.
During the groups I felt supported with kindness and understanding. I learned about boundaries and how to set them. It taught me to advocate for myself and my needs.
The process group was an amazing experience for me. It was wonderful to have a group of people in my corner who just “get it.” No need to educate, explain, or justify complicated emotions. It was nice to finally feel validated in the emotions that come up throughout this journey, and to have people to relate to not only in terms of infertility but life in general.
This group was absolutely incredible. From start to finish I felt safe and supported. Infertility is a thief of joy but over a 6 week period, I was able to find joy every week with this group. Your facilitators are the best of the best and you could tell how much they truly cared about each of us.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for this opportunity to find community and commonality during such a turbulent time in my life. This was exactly what I needed and I will never forget this.
The process group I was in with Kelly and Krista was an incredibly empowering and healing experience.
The process group far exceeded my expectations! It was a reminder of how powerful a group of women with similar experiences and goals can be. How healing it can be to be vulnerable in a safe place. Thank you to Uniquely Knitted for setting that tone.
While facing some of the trauma and challenges can be intense, the community, knowledge and clarity is well worth it. It is so refreshing to be around people who get it.
It was what I needed. I was scared at first but quickly realized it was the first space I felt safe in. I could say the things nobody else was willing to hear.
It felt like such a relief to finally find a community of women who were on a similar road to me. Even though the details of all of our journeys look different, everyone gets it in a way that my family and friends hadn't been able to, and that helped me to feel so much less alone. The tools we learned as we went through the 6 weeks have truly been life changing, and our group still meets on our own every other week. I would recommend this experience to anyone going through infertility.
The process group helped me feel not so alone in our infertility journey. I really benefited from hearing others’ stories and focusing on the tools to build resilience. It was a bit scary being so vulnerable sharing my own story start to end, and I felt drained after each session, but definitely worth it!
The experience allowed me to really focus on how I’m feeling and recognize that it’s ok to be vulnerable.
I was nervous to be a part of these process groups, but I’m so glad I joined! I feel so seen after sharing my story and talking with other people who are experiencing similar things with no judgment. I love storytelling and hearing other people open up about their experiences meant so much to me. I saw other people’s bravery and strength which encouraged me to continue in this hard journey.
It was incredible to feel so understood and get people who finally understand my feelings surrounding infertility.
I loved it. Natalie was the absolute best and I want to be besties with her :) My group was really small (only three people) and that was so nice! I felt like I really got to know everyone and had great connections. I wish it was a week or two longer!
Thank you for creating this amazing community. The way you have it laid out is so smart in getting to know one another but also sharing our story. Our facilitator Natalie was amazing and I will miss her insights.
I’d say the overall word would be comforting. It was comforting to build connection and share with others who “get it.”
It was an incredibly helpful experience. I was able to connect with others who understand.
My process group came at the exact time that I needed community support. I wish it lasted more than 6 weeks, but, also grateful to be able to keep in touch through Discord.
Life changing! So much growth and acceptance in such a short amount of time. I’ll never forget the experience, tools I learned, and connections I made.
Amazing! I feel so supported. It has been nice to connect with and relate to others who understand what I am going through and how I feel. It’s also great to work as a group to improve and conquer this challenge together.
My time spent in the group was exactly what I needed to help build resilience and come to terms with my reality of infertility. Spending each week with a group of people that just understood your pain provided so much validation for me. This group was perfect for this season of my life in which I was really struggling.
My experience has been one of gratitude and finding a much-needed community to hold space with me and share our stories. It was such a positive experience for me and I am thankful for the opportunity. I miss meeting with my group already!
It was so great to hear others’ experiences and be able to share mine. I’ve never been able to talk so openly about such a sensitive subject. While friendship might not have happened, it was still wonderful to connect with everyone on the calls. Also, building some of the skills was really helpful as I didn’t realize how isolated I had gotten here.
My facilitator Natalie did a great job of creating space for people who were pregnant and trying to be pregnant and people who found out they couldn’t have kids. The processing and sharing of stories was amazing and gave me a sense of healing.
I truly enjoyed getting to know a group of families going through what I went through. After the group I felt like I could cope better.
Amazingly cathartic. Uniquely Knitted created such a safe and positive space for us to share and grieve. The sincerity and understanding that we felt from the entire group is exactly what we needed.
It was great to connect with the group. It was also great to not have to explain my decisions or teach the language regarding infertility.
Very helpful! It was so nice to have a supportive group of people who understood and cared about what I was going through. It helped me feel less alone when I usually feel like no one I know understands.
I truly didn’t realize how much I needed this! It has taught me tools on how to navigate working through my grief and challenges rather than around or bottling up my emotions. Also it allowed me to see how much support there is around me.
It felt really good and cathartic to be able to finally share my story, and I really connected with the other women and felt honored to hear their stories too. I also learned a ton from the videos and discussions. My only criticism is that I wish there were more sessions.
It was a wonderful experience! The timing of the group really benefitted during a time of loss and it helped us process. I think the leaders Krista and Kelly were fantastic! They were very kind and supportive! We learned a lot and appreciate this group! Thank you :)
It was everything I wanted - created connection, helped me feel less lonely, helped me feel seen, and created a sense of community by being a support person for others.
It was such a validating experience. I felt so seen and heard not only by the Uniquely Knitted team, but that solidarity from others listening and sharing as well.
This experience gave me words and skills I needed to better navigate my infertility journey within myself and my relationships. Because of this group, I have been able to better voice my needs and set boundaries with myself and others.
Being connected with others who truly understand my feelings and emotions first hand was a blessing. I didn't have to explain my entire backstory behind my feelings. I was given a safe place to share and process my grief without having to worry about being seen as broken.
Our group still continues to meet regularly even after our process group has ended. Having these girls in my corner because of Uniquely Knitted is something I'll forever be grateful for. Thank you, Uniquely Knitted, for the life changing work you're doing for each one of us every single day 💗
This experience was more than I could have hoped for. To find other people in the world that have felt what I have felt is impossible to put into words. When you feel very alone, having a group that gets you is priceless.
I was able to push through some of my hang ups and emotions that I had been living in for a long time. It was exhausting and exhilarating at the same time. I appreciate having a facilitated group to give us structure and to receive feedback. Our group continues a text thread and to meet online every 2 weeks or so to keep up, which has been amazing.
I think "meaningful" is the best word to describe my experience. Building relationships and community with others who are having the same experiences, living the same struggles, and searching for people who really get it
No exaggeration: Process group changed my life.
It was that summer camp feeling all over again. I was so excited for each week's meeting, I genuinely loved all the women in my group, and made life long friends that I deeply connect and care about.
It was the first safe place for me during my infertility journey.
Participating in this process group has been a profoundly transformative experience for me. It provided me with a safe and nurturing space where I could openly share my struggles, fears, and hopes with others who truly understood what I was going through. The sense of community and solidarity has been incredibly comforting and helped me feel far less isolated in my journey.
The emotional support I received from both the facilitators and fellow participants has been invaluable. I found great support and comfort in hearing others’ stories, which mirrored my own in many ways, and in the shared feelings that infertility leaves you with. The group’s empathy and encouragement helped me navigate the complexities of infertility with a bit more hope and strength.
Overall, this experience has been an essential part of my processing and healing. It has equipped me with coping strategies, emotional support, and a network of people who understand the unique challenges of infertility.
I am deeply grateful for the connections I’ve made and the support I’ve received.
This experience was truly life-changing.
I have tried 6 weeks of therapy previously and I just felt like I didn’t know what I needed and the professional was not well equipped in infertility. This group gave me space to share, confidence to be vulnerable, the tools I needed to function in my daily interactions, and I overall just felt like this was progress.
It was amazing to be able to tell our story and feel heard and understood by others who get it. The skills we learned were also really helpful. As we watched videos I saw a lot of connections to my own familial experience and how I so needed these tools for all sorts of reasons.
This experience helped validate this crazy journey of infertility. It also helped put new tools in my toolbox to help me make work through everything my infertility journey brings up.
Where to start? The process group was what I needed, I just wish I’d known about it sooner. Having a chance to connect with this community was so healing for me.
The Uniquely Knitted process group has served as a lifeline for me during the most difficult season of my life.
To be in the presence of others who understand my pain and what I am going through truly makes a difference. The process group also gives you tools to use in your every day life, to help navigate the challenges in relationships that infertility can bring. It is invaluable.
In a time where you often feel completely isolated and alone, having a process group like this where you don’t have to explain things was a weight off my shoulders. Knowing that I’m not the only one struggling and angry and frustrated made me feel very validated.
My experience with the Uniquely Knitted Process Group has been life changing. I first signed up for the 6 week class when I was at possibly the lowest I had ever been emotionally and mentally throughout not just the two years my husband and I had been trying to have a baby, but in my entire life.
Being part of this group has taught me to live in my reality which I had spent the last two years not accepting whatsoever and actually being able to grieve and let go of the picture I was clinging so hard to.
I still have hope that one day I will become a mother, but because of this course and the wonderful work that Uniquely Knitted has done, I can say that I am much more accepting of wherever this chapter takes us.
I absolutely experienced healing and community. It was load-lightening to share my story, but also find my story in others’. Even with everyone having completely different experiences, there was something similar, whether a diagnosis or relationship, that linked us beyond the umbrella of infertility
Gosh, this experience was a mix of so many emotions, feelings and experiences. Some good, some wonderful, some hard, some really hard, some outer-body and unfamiliar. That being said, all of these experiences continue to lead me down a road towards some more healing during this walk through infertility. The Uniquely Knitted team are masters of empathy, truly, I aim to be more like them, even in my own work - I'm a Doula.
I felt more supported than I've felt through this whole journey, and this was the experience I needed, exactly at the time I needed it. Even though some days I was dreading logging on, and hearing the hell everyone I've come to care so deeply about has gone through, or is going through, or is about to go through, I always left feeling grateful for the space that Uniquely Knitted had curated for me and for those people I care about.
I was surprised by how anxiety inducing telling my story was for me, and I think, now, that I realize I've become a bit of a self-gaslighter. I'm definitely on a trajectory, since being in this group, that's leading to deeper self-discovery.
This experience was something I will carry with me for the rest of my life. I truly believe I met people who will be lifelong friends in this group and am eternally grateful. I felt a measurable difference in my demeanor and mental state for the better from beginning to end, and I think this group set up framework for me to be successful in the rest of my fertility journey.
Initially, I had no idea what to expect from these groups, as I was very closed off about discussing our infertility even with people close to me. This group has honestly changed me in a way I can't explain.
Being able to connect with people I just met in a deep and meaningful way, allowed me to feel more free and open up to even the people close to me in my life about our struggles with infertility. Having a community that can truly relate to me and my husband has brought us more peace during even the most difficult times.
I appreciated the topics we had to discuss, as it brought up challenging conversations even between my husband and me, which ultimately has brought us closer on our infertility journey and in our marriage.
This literally brought me back to life. Infertility can be a deep and sad hole and this group helped me remember who I am. It gave me a safe place to grieve and to remember that I mattered before infertility and will continue to matter as a person regardless of the outcome of this season.
This experience opened my eyes to the importance of having a community of safe people to share my experience with and how much that would impact me in a good way. It's a time I will definitely never forget and people that I want to stay connected with forever! The Uniquely Knitted team were the absolute best facilitators and I would do a hundred more groups with them if they were offered!
