Healing Horseshoe

Healing Horseshoe is a small support community for women who are permanently childless not by choice or by circumstances, a safe haven with others who simply "get it". We meet regularly on Zoom. The purpose of Healing Horseshoe is to provide a safe and nurturing space where we can be ourselves and let the masks down, to connect, bond, share, cry, laugh, and heal together. Through a combination of community, ceremonies, and workshops, we aim to support each other in releasing what no longer serves us, integrate our precious losses from our unique journeys, and when we are ready, move towards embracing the messy and beautiful life ahead. 

Features

​

Each season consists of 5 live Zoom meetings split across a total of 8.5 hours together:

  • 2 live workshops x 2 hours each

  • 3 live community calls x 1.5 hours each where you can bring up the topics that matter most to you.

  • You'll also have access to a social media private chat and Facebook group to reach out between calls. 

​​

Additionally, optional individual private grief therapy/coaching sessions are available at a 15% discount during membership.

Facilitated by Sandra McNicol,
Grief Therapist, Coach and CNBC.

The Healing Horseshoe was born out of a personal need. I am childless not by choice too, and during my grief, I felt lost, alone, and like my life no longer had any real value. I questioned every decision I had made in my life, felt shame for feeling this way, and tried to see the bright side of the life that was available to me, but that just made me feel worse. I needed to grieve, and I needed that grief to be witnessed by a loving community who had been on a similar path. That community was life-changing for me, key to my healing, integrating my losses, and allowing me to start to think about "what now"?
