IVF Doula Support
Everything your doctors and clinic are not providing you.
IVF is a wild ride. I offer grounded, compassionate support for people moving through IVF or egg freezing. I care about supporting your whole self, not just your cycle outcomes.
Often, the healthcare system doesn’t take into account the incredibly painful and scary emotional sides of going through IVF or egg retrievals. For many women, it can be even more emotionally and physically intense than childbirth itself.
Together, we create space for what’s coming up: all the anxiety, the hope, the grief, and everything in between. I help you stay connected to your body through the intensity, with tools like gentle breath work, restorative practices, nervous system regulation and all the information you will need. (I’ll even do your injections!)
Your baby is on the other side, but to get there you need help.

Injection Support
If the injections feel scary, you don’t have to face them alone. I’ve done every type of IVF shot from mixing meds to navigating timing and I can come to your house to administer them for you.
~Let me be that someone to answer all the questions you googled last night :)
I went through three rounds of elective egg freezing for medical reasons, and I know firsthand how physically demanding, emotionally disorienting, and deeply overwhelming this process is.
You are not alone.
The injections, the waiting, the hormonal shifts, the constant uncertainty… it is so damn much.
You may feel like you are a cow on an assembly line being milked. You are not. You are a human being who deserves to be treated as such.
It is a lot to carry. And too often, our medical system focuses on the clinical milestones while leaving the human experience incredibly under-supported. You deserve support. This is where I come in.
If you need me to, I’ll also do your injections! It would be an honor.
