About me

I’m a fertility and birth doula offering evidence-based, compassionate support from conception through birth. As a fertility doula, I specialize in medically assisted conception, including IUI, IVF, and surrogacy. I support intended parents through the emotional, physical, and logistical complexities of treatment-helping you understand medications, timelines, and decision points so you feel informed and grounded throughout the process. As a birth doula, I support families no matter how their pregnancy was achieved. I work collaboratively alongside your medical providers to complement clinical care, while centering physiological birth and informed decision-making. My role is to help you understand your options, advocate for yourself, and feel calm, confident, and supported during labor and birth.

Service introduction

I offer a small number of virtual and in-person support packages designed to meet you where you are, whether you’re navigating medically assisted fertility or preparing for birth. Packages vary in level of support and length, and are meant to provide consistent, personalized care rather than one-off sessions. We’ll review your options together so you can choose the support that feels most aligned with your needs.

Leah was an integral part of our big day. She helped to add comfort and reassurance as we welcomed our little girl. There were intense parts and she was right by my side (mom) through the whole process. She is also creative and adaptive to the birthing environment. We are extremely grateful to have met Leah and we will be teaming with Hera for any future kiddos that we welcome

If there were a thousand stars, Eva Dixon would deserve a million. I had the privilege of working with her during my first pregnancy when I developed severe preeclampsia with severe features, including intense headaches that made the experience very frightening. Eva supported me every step of the way. She came to my home, joined me for my hospital tour, stayed with me through hours of induction at the hospital, and advocated for me with so much care and compassion. She wasn’t just a doula — she felt like a sister, a friend, and a guide during one of the most vulnerable moments of my life. Even after my baby was born, she continued to check in and support me beyond what I ever expected. Eva is truly an angel. If you have the chance to work with her, just know you have the very best by your side.

Working with Ava as our doula was one of the best decisions we made for our pregnancy and birth journey. From the very beginning, she was everything you’d hope for in a doula: warm, knowledgeable, and deeply supportive. She took the time to really listen to our hopes and priorities, and helped us craft a thoughtful, personalized birth plan that made us feel prepared and empowered. Throughout my pregnancy, Ava was a steady source of reassurance and encouragement. She answered my endless questions, offered practical tips, and checked in regularly to see how I was doing; not just physically, but emotionally too. Her prenatal support was incredible, and I always felt like I had someone in my corner who truly cared. Ava’s presence brought calm and confidence to our entire birth experience. She was a guide, a cheerleader, and an advocate, all rolled into one. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a doula who will go above and beyond to ensure you feel supported every step of the way. She made such a difference in our journey, and I am endlessly grateful for her.
