Guiding You Through the Emotional, Practical, and Spiritual Aspects of Your Journey

The path to parenthood can be a complex and emotional experience, especially for those navigating infertility, surrogacy, or egg donation. As an Intended Parents Support Coach, I offer holistic support to help you through every stage—from contemplating your options to welcoming your child and beyond. My approach integrates practical guidance with emotional and spiritual support, ensuring you feel confident, empowered, and nurtured on this journey.

Some of the areas I can support you in are…

Support Through the Ups and Downs of Infertility

Infertility is often an unpredictable and emotional journey. I provide compassionate support to help you manage the challenges of fertility treatments, disappointments, and the uncertainty that can arise. Together, we will explore tools to stay grounded and connected to your vision of becoming a parent.

Considering Surrogacy or Egg Donation?

There are many factors to consider as you contemplate surrogacy or egg donation, whether domestic or international. I help you navigate the complexities, including:

  • Local vs. international options

  • Open vs. closed arrangements

  • Legal considerations and contracts

Spiritual Support for Patience and Surrender

The journey to parenthood often requires deep patience and trust. I offer spiritual support to help you surrender to the process, including:

  • Practices for letting go of control

  • Meditations and visualizations for calling in a child

  • Guidance on how to trust the timing of your journey

These practices will help you stay centered, even during periods of waiting, uncertainty or disappointment.

Bonding with Your Child Before and After Birth

Building a connection with your child starts long before birth. I provide guidance on:

  • Bonding practices during pregnancy

  • Creating meaningful ceremonies to mark milestones, such as embryo transfers, pregnancy confirmations, baby showers, and birth

  • Transitioning your child from the gestational carrier (GC) to your care, while supporting the relationship with your GC

We’ll work together to ensure you feel emotionally prepared and connected at every stage.

Sharing Your News with Loved Ones

Deciding when and how to share news about your journey with family, friends, and your community can be challenging. I offer support in:

  • Deciding whether, when, and how to share

  • Navigating sensitive conversations with loved ones and others

  • Documenting your process in meaningful ways for yourself and your child

Navigating the Emotional Highs and Lows of Pregnancy

Pregnancy can be an emotional rollercoaster for intended parents, especially when involving a GC. I help you:

  • Understand and process the emotional ups and downs

  • Build a relationship with your GC, ensuring clear communication and respect

  • Create a post-birth plan for emotional and logistical support

Caring for Your Infant After Birth
I provide essential advice on newborn care immediately after birth, including:

  • Practices like Kangaroo care (skin-to-skin contact) to foster bonding and emotional security for your baby.

  • Helping you understand and prepare for common hospital procedures and how to advocate for your preferences, creating a nurturing and supportive environment right from the start.

  • Offering guidance on how to make the transition between surrogate and you, the intended parents, more seamless, and can provide resources for easing any separation issues as the child grows.

Caring for Your Newborn and Your Family Once You Return Home

Preparing for your child’s arrival involves not only logistics but also emotional and spiritual readiness. I offer guidance on:

  • Caring for your newborn: feeding, diapering, sleep arrangements, and attachment practices

  • Sharing parenting tasks with your partner and building your village for support

  • Navigating the shifts in family dynamics, especially if you have other children

We can also discuss how to balance caring for your primary relationship, handling post-birth depression, loneliness/isolation, and other difficult feelings, and maintaining self-care as new parents.

Exploring Parenting Philosophies and Family Visions

As you prepare to parent, we’ll explore:

  • Different parenting approaches and philosophies

  • Creating a shared vision for parenting with your partner

  • Decision-making around family size, what to do with any remaining embryos, and how to process difficult emotions or differences with your partner around these decisions

This support helps you feel aligned with your partner and ready to embrace the journey of parenting.

Adapting to External Challenges

Surrogacy and egg donation are not only personal choices but can also be influenced by political, religious, financial, and legal factors. I can help you:

  • Understand the broader landscape of surrogacy and IVF

  • Navigate varying legal requirements and challenges

  • Stay informed and resilient through changing external circumstances

Expanded Offerings:

How to Increase Your Child’s Emotional Intelligence:
Through nurturing care and emotional presence, I provide guidance on how to cultivate emotional intelligence in your child from birth. Simple, intentional practices can lay the foundation for your child’s ability to recognize, understand, and manage their emotions, leading to healthier emotional development.

Accessing Your Own Spiritual Support System:
Your journey may inspire a need to explore your spiritual beliefs or seek out new forms of spiritual support. I can help you reflect on how your beliefs may evolve throughout this process and how to tap into your own spiritual support system to guide you through the challenges and joys of the surrogacy journey and parenthood.

Choosing Names for Your Child:
Selecting a name for your child can be deeply emotional and meaningful. I offer tips and support to help you reflect on the significance of names, cultural or spiritual values, and how they resonate with your family’s journey. Together, we’ll ensure that choosing a name is a joyous and thoughtful process.

What You Really Need for Your Baby:
With so many baby products on the market, it can be overwhelming to know what you truly need, or even what products are safe and non toxic. I offer practical advice on what’s essential and what’s not, helping you build a baby registry that aligns with your family’s values and needs.

Induced Lactation and Milk Banks:
If you wish to breastfeed, I can guide you through options for induced lactation, connecting you with lactation specialists, milk banks, or asking your surrogate to pump breast milk. These options can offer a special bonding experience, and I provide the support you need to navigate them confidently.

Hope is a thing with feathers

That perches in the Soul

And sings the tune without the words

And never stops at all.
