I support people and/or couples in their fertility journey toward becoming pregnant.

My plan is to help you understand your body and what factors may be affecting your fertility. The goal will be to discover how your cycle works by elaborating on a personal cycle charting.

I provide a fertility plan with evidence-based information so families can make informed decisions.
-
I provide emotional support, being always available to listen.
-
I provide physical comfort and information on topics such as self-care, fertility treatments, health & nutrition, and overcoming infertility.
-
I deconstruct the information already provided by health providers by explaining in more detail treatment options and finding the most up-to-date evidence to assist in coming up with a fertility plan.
-
Even though I do not offer services provided by a fertility clinic or a health provider, I will provide advocacy work for you if requested.
-
I can accompany you as a support person to any fertility-related appointments, tests, or procedures
My Fertility story
In my university years, working and studying full-time took a toll on my health. I wasn't eating well, was stressed all the time, always exhausted, and realized that suddenly I stopped menstruating. I didn't menstruate for 4 months in a row and I did not understand what was happening with my body. I finally took the time to go see my primary physician. After an ultrasound, I received a dreadful diagnosis. My doctor told me that I had Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. In the ultrasound, the doctor saw I had multiple cysts in my ovary and that I hadn't been ovulating. She informed me that it most likely had to do with poor eating habits and the fact that I was overweight. ​
The long-term consequences were if I kept making poor choices regarding my health, it would be very hard for my body to start functioning properly and I would face issues getting pregnant. ​
I had a wake-up call and I knew I had to take care of my body so I looked into meeting with a holistic nutritionist that was specialized in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. I was able to commit to a diet plan and since then, I have had no problems with my cycle, which allowed me to have two beautiful children. I would love to support you through this journey. It is hard, emotionally, and physically draining but having a fertility doula that can provide you with the right information will make you feel supported, cared for, and not alone! The biggest thing I want to do as your fertility doula is to help you discover your body and to learn how your body works. Let's get started!
