Rimon Center

The Hadassah Rimon Mind/Body Fertility Center

rimon center logoThe Hadassah Rimon Mind/Body Fertility Center, housed in Hadassah Mount Scopus, is a model project created to give psychological support to all women with fertility challenges, at no cost. The goal is to reduce stress and depression and thus increase women’s chances of fertility.
 
Fertility treatments exert an enormous emotional and psychological toll on women. To fill the gap by supporting these women’s needs. The Rimon Center provides a range of Mind/Body therapies which women will be able to choose from while they are undergoing treatment. These include Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Mind-Body workshops, supportive fertility yoga, and supportive therapy for communities with specific needs.  Each patient is personally approached by fertility counselor and offered a wide variety of options for psychological support, which take place either at Hadassah, or at the Gefen Center in the German Colony. While several programs of this sort exist around the world including in Boston, Los Angeles, and London, this is the only program of its kind in Israel.

Fertility Yoga at Hadassah-Rimon - every Sunday at 9am Sigalit Reubinoff, a certified yoga instrocture, leads a Fertility Yoga Class at Beit Riklis for fertility challenged women.

On the basis of the services provided by the Rimon Center, the fertility clinic at Hadassah Hospital-Mt. Scopus was submitted as a candidate for 'Centers of Excellence' at Hadassah Hospital.  See link to the movie about Hadassah-Rimon

Rimon has a staff member available in the IVF waiting area every Thursday morning from 7:30-9:30AM, the time when women arrive for their blood tests and ultrasounds.

The staff member uses this time to connect with the women, explain center services, and cultivate a warm, caring and consistent relationship.  Rimon staff consult with the nurses and doctors regarding patients who might benefit from Rimon services.

Transfer with Tranquility

The process of embryo transfer is a unique and sensitive experience. We would like to be with you before this special time in order to help you relax and find inner tranquility.

We offer individual sessions between 30-45 minutes with one of our experienced yoga instructors before and/or after the procedure.  The session is focused on breath work, gentle movements and restorative postures to relax the body and soul.
