Fertility

The journey across the threshold of parenthood is one that begins long before a baby is born, or often, even conceived. Preconception is a potent portal of it’s own whether you are just starting to entertain the idea of bringing a child into the world or have been trying for a long while. I believe this is an excellent time to start working with a doula, laying the foundation for a supported process that will carry you through as your journey continues to unfold.

My work in this area is informed by my own experience of diagnosed infertility and my struggles to conceive. During this time I researched obsessively, exploring every avenue and option available to me, a process that was later complemented by my training as a Full Spectrum Doula. My approach is non-judgemental and non-hierarchical, as well as trauma-informed. Your choices on this journey are yours and yours alone to make, my role is simply to support.

Some of the ways that support can look during pre-conception:

  • Emotional support and assistance with processing, from someone who is familiar with many of the protocols you may be going through.

  • Informational support regarding options and approaches to fertility and preconception, including referrals and nutritional information as well as assistance with logistics, planning and organization.*

  • In-person support attending medical appointments, when permitted by caregiver(s).

  • Meal prep and planning, light housework and assistance with older children and/or pets during scheduled treatments.

  • Ritual creation and facilitation around fertility and conception.

  • Understanding pathways to conception from a traditional, earth-based lens.
