About IVF Companion
Hi, I’m Alison.
IVF Companion was born to solve for IVF loneliness.
I’m a trained fertility doula and the person behind IVF Companion. My support is practical, emotionally grounded, and IVF-specific: lived experience, fertility support training, 18 years of case management, and a commitment to helping you feel accompanied enough to ask the next right question.
Why support helps
IVF can ask you to become a patient, project manager, advocate, researcher, emotional processor, and communicator all at once.
An IVF doula helps hold some of that load with you. Support is non-medical and works alongside your clinic, doctor, and therapist — not instead of them.
With Alison, support can mean preparing questions before appointments, debriefing confusing updates, getting organized around next steps, and having a steady place to bring the parts of IVF that feel hard to explain.

Practical, emotionally grounded, IVF-specific care.
02
Decision + planning support
Care options, second opinions, clinic transitions, IVF abroad logistics, travel planning, documents, and communication.
03
Emotional + boundary support
Support during waits, betas, ultrasounds, retrievals, transfers, decision points, and conversations with family or work.
An IVF doula does not provide medical advice, interpret labs or embryo reports, recommend medication changes, diagnose, provide therapy, or guarantee outcomes.
“Alison helped make the experience feel less overwhelming and much less lonely.”
Free virtual IVF meetup
A weekly support space for the parts of IVF that are hard to explain.
The meetup is one hour with people who understand the waiting, the pivots, the injections, the hope, and the news you may not be ready to say anywhere else. Alison hosts the room so you can come as you are — camera on or off, talking or just listening.

The interviews, the stories, and the heart of the project.
Q&As with acupuncturists, coaches, reproductive psychologists, clinicians, and people who have walked this path — plus Alison’s own reflections from inside IVF.
