Your IVF Doula

Education and support on your IVF and fertility preservation journey

 

Clinical Embryologist | Advocate for Fertility Patients

BOOK A 1:1 COMPLEMENTARY CALL

Hi, I'm Daria

A qualified clinical embryologist (IVF scientist) who has years of experience working in IVF clinics worldwide. I am also a mama of two IVF babies. 

I deeply understand the enduring discomfort of countless injections, the dilemmas of whether to continue or halt an IVF cycle. These experiences are not just professional anecdotes for me; I've lived them personally. 

Making decisions out of fear is not ideal; we should be guided by intuition. However, when you're in the thick of it, it's often hard to see the big picture - to see the forest for the trees. That's where having a supportive ally to guide you, offering clear and understandable advice, becomes invaluable.

You've got this, and I've got your back! 

Assisting you in making the best decisions for you and your family, whether you're considering IVF or not. 

Many virtual hugs,

- Your IVF Doula

Who I help...

Couples and individuals who know that it takes a team of dedicated people to overcome fertility struggles. Your IVF Doula is no exception. 

 

Build the right support network: just as it's said that a village is needed to raise a child, a supportive community is also crucial in navigating the challenges of infertility. Many of my clients are hungry for more information than their practitioners can provide in their limited consultation time. 

If you rush anything in your life - chances are, you will need to do it all over again. My goal is to equip you with the necessary tools to enhance your chances of success, ideally on your first or second try. I will offer you support and knowledge, empowering you to approach your fertility journey with greater ease and confidence, ensuring you don't leave any stones unturned.

 

 

   Is this you?

  • Ready to take the next step on your preconception journey but don't know where to start?
  • Drowning in decision fatigue and need support on your fertility journey? I'm your IVF scientist in your pocket! 
  • Feel disconnect from your partner while TTC? Fertility optimization is not just a woman's job!
  • You feel that having a supportive person during your preconception journey will be highly beneficial. AND you are so smart to realize that.
  • You want to address your diet, egg + sperm health, and lifestyle before you embark on your next IVF cycle?  
  • Not ready to have a child but feel the pressure of that ticking biological clock?

Then You’re In Luck!

 

Fertility Education ➤ IVF 101 and Troubleshooting ➤ Emotional Support An Advocate to Help You Navigate Your Options 

  • Let's demystify all things IVF in layman terms. 
  • Learn to treat your eggs like the goddesses that they are - the most powerful and precious cells in your body! 
  • It takes two (sometimes three) to tango. Sperm health is just as vital. Let's not forget that. 
  • Not ready to have a baby? But want to look at your options for fertility preservations? Join me as we discuss all options based on your specific situation.
  • We will evaluate your diet, lifestyle and day-to-day environment for any potential disruptors to your genetic health that can wreak havoc on your reproductive system and overall health. Let's try figure out why your body has deprioratized reproduction. 
  • Experience the individualized care of a compassionate and well-trained specialist who provides you with the knowledge and support necessary to feel empowered, understood, accountable, and confident as you embark on your fertility journey.
  • Put an end to the overwhelming experience of self-diagnosis and endless research that often leads to no concrete answers. All too frequently, it's not until you begin IVF that you realize you should have been asking the essential questions all along. This lack of early education can result in significant costs, both financially and emotionally. I am here to ensure that we tackle crucial decisions early on to optimize positive outcomes and minimize stress and anxiety.
  • Egg retrieval and embryology support; the waiting game is so hard! The week during which your embryos are in culture can feel like eternity. You'll be able to reach out to me anytime via email (provided it's not 2am...), opening the door for us to chat and keep in touch regularly. The goal is to make communication seamless. We will interpret your IVF cycle outcome and discuss next steps.
Let's Work Together

From a determined and skilled embryologist with a relentless 'Can-Do' attitude to a compassionate IVF mama, I've taken another big leap to be here for you as Your IVF Doula.

"Her expert knowledge provided me the scientific comfort that I was looking for as well as emotional support during the rollercoaster IVF ride."

There are no words to describe how blessed I was to have Daria’s advice during my IVF cycle. Mind you, this was my 4th cycle and yet I learned so much from Daria! Daria is caring, compassionate, extremely knowledgeable, empathetic, and simply the best!

She was my sounding board through the highs and lows of my journey. I could literally ask her about anything... From an article I've read to embryo quality results to the do's and don't of "all things IVF".  Daria is an embryologist by training which was such an important factor for me. Her expert knowledge provided me the scientific comfort that I was looking for as well as emotional support during the rollercoaster IVF ride. 

Daria has given me peace of mind throughout. It helped immensely that she's gone through a similar journey herself and her compassion shined through. I would recommend Daria to anyone who is thinking of going the IVF route.... 1st cycle or 5th!  Daria is simply AMAZING!

"Doulas are born not made."
 
"Doulas are born not made" from the book 'Why Doulas Matter' by Maddie McMahon and "it isn't so much what a Doula does or says, but who she is that matters" keep coming back to me as I recall my experience of meeting our embryologist Daria.
Daria is a naturally caring and invested person who in her daily work is able to see the individual person behind the figures, test results and procedures. To me she was that star, that rock, that caring voice filled with wonder, joy and feeling. Her loving blue eyes and open big smile were what I clung to, it is her enthusiasm and care in her work that gave me the strength to navigate the path to pregnancy from one blood test to the next. Daria was a Doula to me long before she started on her professional Doulaing journey.
