A place of solace for those navigating the heartbreak of pregnancy & infant loss, and infertility.
A message for you
You were preparing for a life with your baby—one filled with firsts, love, and cherished moments. Instead, you’re walking through a heartbreak you never could have prepared for.
Or maybe you’re still in the thick of hoping, waiting, and wondering—navigating cycles, procedures, and uncertainty, all while grieving the dream of what was supposed to be.
If you've found your way here, I want you to know how deeply sorry I am for what you are going through.
Wherever you are on this journey, you are not alone.

Work with a loss doula
What is a loss doula?
A perinatal loss or bereavement doula is a trained professional who supports families through pregnancy and infant loss. They provide emotional, physical, and informational care from diagnosis through birth and beyond.
Why do families work with a loss doula?
Families and individuals work with perinatal loss or bereavement doulas to receive trauma- and grief-informed care tailored to their loss. A doula guides families through medical settings, birth planning, and farewell rituals—helping them feel seen, heard, and empowered during overwhelming times. If you’re curious about working with a loss doula, schedule a complimentary intro call to see if it’s the right fit for you.
Why do families work with an infertility doula or get support for assisted reproduction?
Infertility doulas provide emotional support and advocacy through fertility and assisted reproduction treatments like IVF. They help clients navigate the emotional highs and lows of the journey, offering steady care and guidance that empowers individuals and couples to advocate for themselves and find comfort throughout. If you’re curious about working with an infertility doula, schedule a complimentary intro call to see if it’s the right fit for you.
My loss is not recent. Can I still participate?
Absolutely. Grief unfolds uniquely for each person and has no set timeline. Whether your loss was recent or years ago, you are welcome to join support spaces and receive compassionate one-to-one care tailored to your current place in your grief journey. Schedule a complimentary intro call to see if it’s the right fit for you.
Immediate support during active loss
If you are currently experiencing miscarriage (at any gestation), TFMR, stillbirth, infant loss, or have received a prenatal life-limiting diagnosis, free virtual bereavement doula support is available.
This support is intended for those in the midst of loss—before, during, or shortly after saying goodbye.
There is never a charge for emergent loss support or bedside care. Call Allie Alvarado at (703) 594-6331 to connect directly.
Additional resources are also available to you here.
