Hi, I’m Ariel
Navigating the world of infertility and assisted reproduction can be a challenge. With all of the invasive testing, different procedures and a laundry list of acronyms to understand, it can feel like you are all alone on this journey to parenthood. As someone who has been involved in the fertility world for 7 years as an advocate, speaker and a 5x gestational surrogate, I understand the long and heartbreaking road that is infertility.
While infertility can feel overwhelming, you don’t have to go through it alone and I hope to help support you while you navigate alternative routes to parenthood.
In 2015, I become a surrogate for the first time. I was excited and eager to help a couple become parents but admittedly, didn't know a lot about infertility. Since 2015, I underwent 7 IVF transfers, experienced a miscarriage, had two chemical pregnancies, 1 failed transfer and gave birth to three beautiful little boys in 2017, 2018 and 2021. In 2022, I matched for my 5th and final surrogacy for a close friend of mine. I have learned so much about assisted reproduction and became passionate about advocacy, education and surrogacy awareness over the last number of years.
In 2018, I decided that I wanted to do more for the fertility community and had a strong desire to fill an empty space in the arena; specialized fertility counselling. I decided to take the leap and return to University for my Bachelor of Social Work and focused my research, advocacy and placements on all things fertility. My educational background also includes training in grief counselling and understanding the trauma of miscarriage and infant loss. With all of this education as well as my personal experience, I am proud to support those going through infertility, surrogacy and those in the postpartum period.
I am familiar with IVF and IUI, embryo adoption, egg retrievals, egg donation and surrogacy and can help you navigate through all of your options. I use a variety of therapy techniques while providing a safe and judgement free place to explore the emotions around infertility.
If you are looking for support, don’t wait! There is no time like the present to be a better version of yourself. If you think we would be a good fit get in touch today!
