Stress doesn't cause infertility.
But infertility sure does cause stress.

It's possible to find peace and power so that you can overcome fertility challenges and build the family of your dreams.

It's possible to find peace and power, so that you can overcome fertility challenges and build the family of your dreams.

Maybe you know what it's like to...

  • live your life in two-week cycles, stuck in the loop of hurry up and wait for the next positive OPK or Cycle Day 1.


  • feel disconnected from your relationship because your typically supportive partner can't grasp why you're so consumed with diet, supplements, exercise and eliminating every bit of plastic from your household...


  • experience the elated high of a positive pregnancy test, only to have your heart broken by loss


    .

  • be vulnerable and seek out help only to have your doctor tell you to just keep trying -- and maybe lose some weight for good measure?


  • feel hopeless because, for the first time in your life, hard work and dedication is not resulting in the success you so desperately desire.

Me too.

It's Heavy.

Welcome. I'm Jillian.

If you're here, chances are that you're having a tough time getting or staying pregnant. I'm so sorry you're going through this.

I'm a doula and fertility coach who helps people struggling with fertility challenges navigate evidence based information, release stress, and take intentional actions to build their family. I'm also an IVF mom who has been there and gets it, so no sneaky shame or blame invited to this party.

I promise I won't tell you to overhaul your entire life, insinuate that you did something to cause your situation, or guarantee that I know the one secret you need to carry a healthy full-term pregnancy. God, I wish I did...

I will, however, help you determine what is within your control so that you can advocate for yourself in a super necessary -- but pretty messed up -- medical system. I'll also work with you to release built-up stress and find emotional balance so that you can reconnect with your body, your partner, and your life.

And, if the fate's allow (I believe they will...) all of the skills and tools you learn along the way will continue to serve you in your coming pregnancy and parenthood journey.

What You Can Expect to Get Out of Fertility Coaching

My 5-Part Coaching Model Includes:

  • Evidence-Based Information: Stop falling down the black hole that is Google.


  • Mindset Coaching: Gain clarity, reduce overwhelm, and make decisions with confidence.


  • Integrative Restoration iRest: Reset emotionally with custom meditations that transform suffering into growth, build deep resilience, inspire insight and promote lasting equanimity.

  • Action Plans: Create practical, well-informed action plans so that you can advocate for yourself with assurance and ease.


  • Supportive Relationship: Share a completely unbiased, nonjudgemental relationship where you don't have to censor yourself, put on a happy face, or spend all your time educating me on the basics of fertility.
