Register Now: Purposeful Conception Course
My part-time job has officially ended, which is such a weird feeling. I’m getting closer and closer to being able to focus full-time on my passion, which is to start Austin’s first public Montessori school (and then a national network of public Montessori schools in diverse communities nationwide).
Even though I’ve done very real things toward that end (i.e., founded a 501(c)(3), recruited a board of directors, raised half a million dollars, put two pieces of land under contract for the future school, etc.), it still doesn’t feel quite real.
With some extra time on my hands, I wanted to host a Purposeful Conception Course: Preparing Your Mind, Body, and Life for Pregnancy. I know all my “extra time” is going to evaporate as soon as Tate makes his grand appearance, but I actually think participating in the community will help make those long hours of breastfeeding go by a little faster! My mom got me a hands-free computer typing program for Christmas, so I’m hoping to be able to put it to good use.
Here are some thoughts from past participants:
-
“I want to recommend the heck out of this!”
-
“I feel like I have a really solid reference point; all the journaling these activities inspired created a larger awareness for me of what we’re getting ourselves into. We both feel a lot more informed not only about some specifics of preparing for pregnancy, but also that we have a broader groundwork with which to do more research and a better understanding of what we think and feel about taking this step. I feel more careful about how I’m organizing my life, more intentional about my time and space; my husband has had a chance to work through many of his fears and is more eager than ever to start trying! I think previously I was ready just to dive in and figure it out as I went, now I am a lot more confident in my ability to handle this.”
-
“To be honest, I was hesitant at first to spend the money on a class about preparing for conception (rather than saving it towards actually having a baby!). However, both my husband and I have benefited SO much from this; it’s been worth EVERY penny and more. Truly. It’s been fantastic and I’m so glad I ‘splurged.'”
-
“This was an excellent course and a lot of thought, research, hard work, and love went into it – that is obvious. It was comforting to find a community of others who are really taking the time to plan for conception and parenthood, because I don’t find that among my local community. Great job, Sara. Really and truly. This course was a big help to me and I will definitely recommend it to others!”
-
“Thanks to all the reflection, guided discussions, and useful advice from this course, [my] worry/fear has pretty much disappeared. My partner and I have figured out what ‘ready’ means to us, and it’s not as hard as we thought it would be to get there. We have a short to-do list with achievable goals. I’m happy to be where I am right now in my life.”
-
“I was very ambivalent about having a child before taking this course. I now know that my husband and I are more prepared than I thought we were to have a child. For the areas in which we need some work, I now have concrete action steps to complete…It’s wonderful to actually be excited about this next step instead of fearful or unsure.”

The course doesn’t presume that doing x, y, and z will lead to
pregnancy. Instead, the idea is to focus on the things we can control
in order to create a solid foundation (e.g., nutrition, stress levels,
relationships, finances, etc.) and to make peace with the things we
cannot control about the process.
I want to be upfront that I am not a healthcare professional. I simply
spent a very long time researching and preparing myself for conception.
This course is a compilation of all that information in one convenient
and concise place–alongside information I did not find in any of the
books.
