Womb Prep was founded by Geri Alicea in January 2016. Being on a Journey to Motherhood herself, Geri knew firsthand what it was like to feel completely alone while going through one of the worst situations in her life. Around this time, Geri experienced a season of depression and one day she decided to study women in the bible who had trouble conceiving just like her. And because she didn't want to study these women alone, she created a Facebook Group so others could join her in her study. It was in this study that the ministry Womb Prep as well as her book “Overcoming Infertility: Faith While You Wait" were birthed.
Since doing that study in 2016, Geri has become a Faith and Fertility Coach where she teaches women dealing with infertility or loss how to close the gap between their faith and fertility. She has also made it her personal mission to make infertility LOUD and let other women know that they are not alone on their journey. Geri has made a commitment to "normalize" the conversation surrounding infertility so women struggling can talk about it instead of hiding from it. Infertility is hard and emotional, but it needs to be talked about... openly. and without shame. She believes that normalizing the conversation of infertility not only helps those dealing with it but it also helps those that aren't. The truth of the matter is that infertility is such a taboo subject that a lot of individuals not dealing with it don't know how to appropriately respond to it. But Geri is determined to do her part to remedy that.
Words of encouragement from Geri: Know that your infertility journey is not your fault. Do not take on the blame and guilt because it will put you in a depressed state. Know you are still worthy to be a mom, worthy as a woman and person. There is nothing wrong with you just because you are on this journey. Know what your worth is while on this journey. Infertility is a thing but it's not who you are. You are so much more than the girl who has infertility or the girl who can't give her partner a child, you are so much more. Who are you supposed to be outside of being a mom? We get lost on this journey of not being a mom and there is purpose outside of being a mom.
