Your IVF Doula
Education and Support on Your Fertility Treatment Journey
Clinical Embryologist | Advocate for Fertility Patients | Preconception and Assisted Reproduction Coach
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.
Many virtual hugs,
- Your IVF Doula

Your IVF Doula in Your Pocket
This 16-week 1:1 coaching package covers everything from pre-conception health to assisted reproductive technologies, ensuring you feel empowered, educated, and supported. The final month, focused on your treatment cycle, will be especially personal. During this time, you can reach out to me anytime for questions or simply to talk, by phone or email (just not at 2 a.m. California time!). I take on a limited number of clients each month to provide the dedicated support and attention you deserve.
Between Cycles Review
Whether you are about to embark on your 2nd IVF cycle or 5th, this appointment is for you.
We will go through progress so far and determine the best next steps forward. If available, we will review embryology notes and I will provide feedback based on my embryo grading experience spanning more than half a decade.
Having a fresh, independent and expert perspective can make a remarkable difference.
Two, 1-hour sessions and a comprehensive summary.
Support When You Need It
Here you will have four 30-minute support calls that can be redeemed at your desired time.
As a fertility expert, my dedication lies in providing you with INDEPENDENT and enlightened advice and support, empowering you to regain control (free from any ties to IVF clinics). Being well-informed about your situation, comprehending treatment choices, and having access to a knowledgeable source for guidance can make ALL the difference in your emotional well-being.
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.

Preconception Preparation for ART patients ➤ 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 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.
- No one just does IVF. Let's focus on fertility friendly lifestyle before you embark on or continue with IUI/IVF.
- Experience the individualized care of a compassionate specialist who provides you with the knowledge and support necessary to feel empowered, understood, accountable, and confident as you embark on your assisted reproductive 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 embryo(s) are in culture can feel like eternity. You'll be able to reach out to me anytime via email or phone (provided it's not 2am...), opening the door for us to chat and keep in touch regularly. The goal is to make communication seamless.
p.s. I'm in the PDT and PST time zone.
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.
I help people on their fertility treatment journey. You want a baby - come talk to me. I will help you work out where to go. Who to see. When you need to see them. What you need to ask. I sometimes refer to myself as a fertility treatment project manager. Fertility treatment is your project and I am going to manage that project for you.

"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!
