What is a Fertility Doula?

A Fertility Doula is much like the birth and postpartum doula. They serve those in the fertility/infertility stage of life with emotional, informational, (and sometimes physical) support from preconception, conception, to the first trimester of pregnancy. Fertility Doulas support women in learning more about their reproductive systems, how their cycles work, and how to rebalance their cycles to have a healthier monthly cycle.

Hi, Im Tawni Gary a Fertility, Birth, and Postpartum Doula here at Flourish Family Doulas. I have been supporting women and families since 2021 and have loved all areas of birthwork. I started my journey into understand my cycle and how to heal it naturally in 2017 when my doctor told me that my progesterone levels were low and I would need medical support to bring them back up. Although I wasn’t against this support, I wasn’t ready to give up breastfeeding my little one at the time. I happened upon Taking Charge of Your Fertility at a local thrift store and poured over it and began to implement charting my cycles and lifestyle changes. Through this education and help from online communities, I had a better understanding of my reproductive health and menstrual cycle. I felt encouraged and less anxiety each month. Since then I have loved helping others discover more about themselves and have a balanced monthly cycle.
