Your IVF Doula
Education and Support on Your Fertility Treatment Journey
Clinical Embryologist | Advocate for Fertility Patients | Assisted Reproduction Coach
Hi, I'm Daria
A qualified clinical embryologist (IVF scientist) with nearly a decade of hands-on experience working in IVF clinics around the world. 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

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.
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!
