Fertility care from a doula
I offer steady, compassionate support for anyone facing fertility challenges or using assisted reproduction on the path to parenthood.
I work with individuals and couples or pairs who are:
♥ Trying to conceive naturally after loss and are not yet pregnant
♥ Considering a specialist after trying to conceive on your own
♥ Newly diagnosed with a condition requiring medical support to conceive
♥ Experiencing unexplained or secondary infertility
♥ Using assisted reproductive technologies to build their family (IUI, IVF)
♥ Preserving their fertility (for example, egg or embryo freezing)
♥ Coping with embryo loss, failed transfers, or pregnancy loss
♥ Pursuing donor conception, surrogacy, or third-party reproduction
♥ Exploring family-building options beyond assisted reproduction
♥ Coming to terms with involuntary childlessness
How it works:
If you're in the Northern Virginia/DC Metro area, I offer in-person doula support for appointments, retrievals, transfers, and recovery at home.
Virtual one-to-one support is also available for those outside our service area or for anyone who would benefit from care shaped uniquely around their circumstances.
Our services are primarily designed for the person planning to carry the pregnancy, but I also welcome partners or support people who wish to better understand and accompany this journey.
Should pregnancy become part of your journey, support is available to help you navigate the complexities of early pregnancy after infertility or loss, with care that honors everything it took to get there.
And if you're no longer pursuing treatment, grieving the end of trying, or exploring life without children, continued loving support is available through our virtual sessions, whenever you're ready.
Getting started:
Schedule a free intake call: We’ll talk through your needs and see if Heartsongs Doula is the right fit—with no obligation.
If we decide to work together in-person: You’ll complete a short intake form, sign a service agreement, and receive an invoice for one of the package options below.
We begin our sessions and create a care plan: You’ll receive a link to book your first session at your convenience.
Ongoing care is tailored to you: We’ll co-create a rhythm of support that fits your needs. Between sessions, you’ll have access to email and text check-ins, with the option to extend or deepen support as needed.
