Approximately 25% of the American people are childless not by choice and 10% to 15% of the reproductive age range population are infertile. Childlessness is
still a taboo, despite increasing prevalence of life circumstances which make it
hard or impossible to have a biological child: fertility issues; relationship
with a partner who already is a parent; being ‘single with the biological clock
ticking’; hysterectomy; miscarriages; disease/disability; same sex
relationships; etc.
Being involuntary childless can profoundly affect one’s sense of identity and
create deep-seated grief. A wall of silence surrounds and isolates most women
and men whatever the reason of their involuntary childlessness.
Childless not by choice – what now?
Sharing the pain, dissolving isolation, naming the struggle, sorting confusion,
honoring unlived body experiences … support, empathy, guidance for decision
making, answers, solutions, finding the next step toward peace inside! The
issues are complicated … whether You are undecided, still hoping to have a
child, or having to learn to live with childlessness.
The support weekends (as well as any future ongoing evening groups) provide
women who suffer, because they have not (yet) been able to give birth to a
child, with a safe and empathic space. An opportunity to be listened to, find
help and develop further steps in their personal healing as well as in defining
their individual paths. Siljoy is childless herself and combines in her seminars
and individual Holistic Life Mentoring with involuntary childless people her
personal experience with her professional skills of 25 years of Holistic Life
Mentoring. She addresses all aspects of our life experience – Body, Soul,
Spirit, Mind and Social Self.
“Siljoy addresses the complexities of
childlessness with compassion and love. She guides and teaches in a way where
one can move from the anguish of being childless to seeing the light at the end
of the journey.”
S. B.-W., Salinas, California
Siljoy meets her clients where they are, whether they want support in
decision making, conceiving, grieving, healing, adopting, etc.
Especially when it comes to infertility treatments, she has a unique and
powerful approach: in accompanying her clients on their path, she is

issues, but especially she teaches how to use body awareness, guided

chances both for successful conception and pregnancy.

“Siljoy is the only person I have found who specializes in helping those of us
who are childless with this very challenging issue. She creates an atmosphere of
complete safety and trust for everyone, no matter how they might be feeling
about no having children. She helped me pass through great pain to live happily
as a childless woman, embracing all my options with new-found tenderness and
wisdom.
My longing for a child has been so profound that I can truly say that Siljoy helped me decide to keep living, staying open to many possibilities for myself.
She is such a GIFT.”
