Thrive Through Infertility:
Your Reproductive Grief Survival Guide
Thrive Through Infertility is a self-paced online course created to support individuals facing infertility and pregnancy loss.
Led by Ryan Perisho, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and fertility warrior who’s walked this path herself, this program combines professional expertise with lived experience to guide you from surviving to truly thriving. This course combines clinical tools with heartfelt guidance to help you manage reproductive grief and reclaim your sense of self.
This course is for you if...
-
You're navigating infertility, pregnancy loss, IVF, or reproductive grief and need emotional support that meets you where you are
-
You feel overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or alone in your fertility journey
-
You're looking for a flexible, self-paced resource developed by a licensed therapist who has been there and truly gets it
-
You want tools to help manage your thoughts, emotions, and inner dialogue during treatment cycles, waiting periods, or uncertain outcomes
-
You've felt frustrated by the lack of control in your journey, and you're ready to find strength, meaning, and self-compassion within it
-
You're seeking support beyond just medical treatment - something rooted in healing, reflection, and resilience
-
You want to process your experience in private, on your own time, with gentle guidance

Feel more grounded and supported on your path to pregnancy.
This course is designed to ease emotional overwhelm, reduce stress, and support your wellbeing—factors that can positively impact fertility and overall health.
You deserve support. You are not alone in this journey. I am so glad you are here.
How It Works:

Evidence-Based
Grounded in evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Mind-Body Stress Reduction

Self-Paced
Six-module program provides emotional skills, reflective exercises, and practical coping strategies that meets you where you are at with options for flexible pacing; ideal for a two-week wait or long-term emotional support

Lifetime Access
Unlimited access to video lessons and 60 page workbook full of tangible tools that you can return to time and time again throughout your fertility journey
Investment:
The Thrive Through Infertility course is priced at $289 - less than the cost of two individual therapy sessions. With an estimated six hours of therapeutic content, including guided exercises, and a 60-page workbook, this course delivers the depth and value of six or more sessions with a licensed therapist.
It’s a self-paced, research-based resource designed to support your emotional health through every stage of the fertility journey—on your own schedule, and in the privacy of your own space. This is not just information. It’s healing work you can return to again and again.
Flexible Pricing for a Compassionate Journey
I believe emotional support should be accessible without sacrificing quality. That’s why I offer both full-payment and installment options of 3 monthly payments of $97 — you can choose the pace that fits your life. No matter how you pay, you’ll receive the same full access to a therapist-developed, research-based course designed to support and empower you through reproductive grief.
Giving Back
In the spirit of giving back, a percentage of all profits from this course will go toward funding limited sponsored spots for individuals who would otherwise be unable to access this support. These reduced-cost spaces are intended to increase inclusion and ensure that healing resources are available to more people navigating the challenges of infertility and reproductive grief.
When you invest in yourself, you're also helping someone else take one step closer to the support they deserve.
If you're in a financial season where the full price is a barrier, I offer a small number of reduced-cost, sponsored spots. Please reach out directly via email to inquire.
FAQ
1 /Do I have to live in California to take this course?
No. This course is available to anyone, anywhere in the world.
2 / Is this course geared toward women?
While the course centers experiences that are often associated with women, it is open to all genders. Anyone experiencing reproductive grief—regardless of gender identity—is welcome and will find support here.
3 / I don’t have any biological infertility factors, but my partner does. Is this course still for me?
Yes. Reproductive grief affects both partners, regardless of who is experiencing the biological challenges. If your path to parenthood has been altered or complicated, this course is absolutely for you.
4 /Does this course address surrogacy or adoption?
While the course doesn’t focus specifically on surrogacy or adoption, it’s designed to support people navigating a wide range of reproductive challenges. If you're exploring or going through alternative paths to parenthood, the course can offer meaningful support, specifically exploring universal themes like:
-
Grieving unmet expectations
-
Managing difficult emotions
-
Reframing unhelpful thought patterns
-
Cultivating agency in the face of uncertainty
These tools can be especially relevant when your family-building journey looks different than you imagined.
5 / What if I’ve decided to stop trying to have children—will this still be relevant?
Yes. The grief and identity shifts that come with closing the chapter on trying to conceive are deeply valid and often overlooked. This course offers support whether you’re still trying, undecided, or have chosen another path.
6 / Can I take the course if I’m currently in treatment (IVF, IUI, etc.)?
Absolutely. The course is designed to support you at any stage—whether you’re actively pursuing treatment, in a pause, or processing the aftermath of difficult news.
7 /Is this course therapy?
No, this course is not a substitute for therapy. It’s an educational and supportive experience rooted in evidence-based psychological tools. If you're in crisis or need individual support, please reach out to a licensed mental health professional.
