ABOUT ME

Hello, I'm Kelli, the heart and soul behind Fertility and Beyond. My path into doula work is deeply rooted in my diverse personal and professional experiences, from navigating the complexities of fertility as a surrogate and family-building as an LGBT+ person, to embracing the challenges of both cesarean and VBAC births. These experiences have not only shaped my understanding but have also fueled my passion to provide crucial doula support during key life transitions.

With a background in psychology and a Master's degree in clinical social work, I am a trained full-spectrum doula. This unique blend of education and hands-on experience enables me to offer inclusive, empathetic, and comprehensive support. Whether it's fertility, birth, postpartum, abortion, or loss, my approach is always centered on creating a calm, supportive environment, promoting peace and empowerment.

I am deeply committed to ensuring that my practice is a safe, welcoming space for all families. My philosophy is built on inclusivity and respect for every individual's journey, understanding that each path is as unique as the people walking it. Together, let's embrace and navigate these transformative experiences with care, support, and understanding.

I’d love to help you on your path. Let’s work together to ensure you are supported and informed every step of the way.
