The Otherwoods

I’ve always been drawn to spooky stories. Scary books allowed me to deal with some of the darker realities of life, some of the negative feelings and pain . . . but in a really cool way. It created a distance, as I experienced all the feelings and frights of the protagonist from the safety of my own bedroom. It was also an escape between pages, whether it be just to experience a new point of view or to enter a wooded spirit realm full of monsters. But for someone so drawn to the creepy and crawly, I’ve always been a big scaredy-cat.

Fusion Academy

Is school a safe space for my kid? Will they be accepted? Will they have friends? Will they feel loved? For far too many kids these days, their answer to all of these is ‘no’. Their school environment is not a safe or loving place. Because of that, they lose their motivation. Because of that, their academics suffer.

Shu Ren: Chinese and English Immersion Program

“One of our co-founders originally saw a need as a young mother in the Bay Area, back in 2008,” said Deron Marvin, Co-Head of Shu Ren. “As a daughter of a Kiwi father and Chinese mother, Dr. Jie Moore wanted her daughter to grow, learn, and thrive in an international community filled with a vibrant culture, traditions, and experiences. When she couldn’t find a school that provided this approach, she founded one – utilizing expansive and inclusive education programs to embrace and support families from unique cultural backgrounds.”

For Over 30 Years, Family Building Has Been Our Family Business

Cryobio is committed to getting it right when it comes to serving members of the LGBTQ+ community. This past November, we hosted Equitas Health Institute at our main offices in Columbus, Ohio. They delivered a training session to us on providing culturally humble and competent care so we can better serve the community. The knowledge we gained in one afternoon was beyond what we could have imagined. Our goal at Cryobio is and has always been, to provide members of the LGBTQ+ community with a welcoming and safe space during their journey to parenthood. This training provided insight into the harsh realities that many members of the LGBTQ+ community face on their path to becoming parents. The individuals who led our training were incredible and honest in sharing their own personal stories, as well as other stories of people who were treated unacceptably by physicians, nurses, lab techs, or receptionists when they walked through the doors of a clinical practice looking for care. The actions and behaviors in these stories were heartbreaking to hear and made us even more determined to make sure we are providing the best care to the LGBTQ+ community.
