Fertility
Support
Many of you may have heard about birth and postpartum doulas as an option to consider once you are pregnant. Doulas are women who help individuals or couples have healthy pregnancies and prepare for the birth of their babies. But few people know that you don’t have to wait until pregnancy to get doula support. Fertility doulas are a great way to get help from the very beginning.
​
What exactly is a fertility doula?
​
A fertility doula is a trained non-medical professional that can walk with you throughout your fertility journey and provide educational and emotional support during the preconception stage. Fertility doulas can be a lifeline in helping you navigate fertility treatments and reproductive technology by providing non-judgemental support and a listening ear when you need it most. Many fertility doulas incorporate holistic, mind-body approaches that serve as complementary tools to aid fertility treatments and help you achieve your goals with less stress and more calm and ease.
​
Are you a single mother by choice who is seeking support as you navigate IVF on your own? Are you a surrogate who would love to have a cheering squad as you complete your daily shots? Are you a woman struggling with infertility that is seeking support and connection during this emotional time?
​
No matter the reason, our fertility doulas are here to provide support as you navigate this chapter of your fertility journey.
