Certified Fertility Doula - Get the Support You Need with Jess Tims
About this episode
In today's episode of Health Youniversity, we explore something that doesn't get nearly enough attention on the fertility journey: the kind of support that holds you together while medicine does its work.
Dr. Susan sits down with Jess Tims — certified fertility doula, Reiki master, and founder of Her Fertility Support — whose path to this work came through her own two-year experience with unexplained infertility. What she couldn't find then, she's now dedicated to creating for others.
You'll learn what a fertility doula actually is (and how it's different from a fertility coach or therapist), why the research Jess presented at the American Society of Reproductive Medicine confirms that feeling supported genuinely improves outcomes, how to find a certified doula in an unregulated field, what the internal dialogue of "I'm broken" does to the body (and how to interrupt it), and how support comes in many forms: 1:1, group, or fully self-guided.
This conversation is for you if you're navigating IVF or preparing for it, if you've experienced pregnancy loss and need a safe place to process it, you're a high-performing woman who needs to show up in the world and go through fertility treatments, or if you simply want to understand the difference between fertility coaches, doulas, and therapists.
