Your path towards healing starts here...
Not every wellness journey is alike, and your emotional support should reflect that.
At Road To Wellness, we specialize in three deeply personal, tender, and transformative health and wellness paths: family building through assisted reproductive technologies, physician-assisted weight management, and menopause transitions. We offer culturally responsive mental health support for women—particularly women of color and LGBTQ+ individuals—who are navigating:
​
-
Pathways to motherhood with assisted reproductive technologies (IUI, IVF, egg or sperm donation, and surrogacy)
-
Surgical and pharmaceutical weight management journeys, including gastric sleeve surgery, gastric bypass, and GLP-1 medications
-
Menopause transitions
By focusing on these three areas, we provide care that is informed, affirming, and sensitive to the emotional, physical, and identity-related complexities involved. Our approach is authentic, compassionate, trauma-informed, and rooted in cultural humilitand the belief that your unique body, story, and journey deserve a safe space to be seen and heard.

Strained relationships or feeling misunderstood by loved ones

Isolation and stigma surrounding around varied pathways to motherhood
