First, we want to say we didn’t know what a Fertility Doula was. However, now that we do, we think everyone should have one if they are going through fertility issues or IVF in general.

Cassie has been absolutely fantastic. We were in over our heads, we have done all the research and talked to all the doctors and still felt completely at a loss when it comes to what to do. In came Cassie, our Fertility Doula, and we had a general sense of ease talking with her. She explained things we hadn’t ever thought of and she listened to what we had to say. The fertility world is so large with so many possibilities, it’s easy to get lost in everything.

Cassie made sure we were informed, listened to and acknowledged. One thing that I think is hard, for us at least, is understanding that we are in control. We are normally in control of things but with infertility we felt that it was outside of our realm of knowledge and that we should just blindly follow our doctors. Cassie doesn't go against the doctors but she helped to keep us informed and made sure we really truly understood that we can still advocate for what we want.

We had triumphs and heart breaks and Cassie was right there by our side. She was always a phone call away and let us know that whatever level of interaction we required from her she would follow through with. She, by chance, even ended up being at our fertility clinic the morning of my egg retrieval. It was so wonderful to see her that day!

If you are looking for someone who is both knowledgeable professionally and personally in the fertility world, we would highly recommend availing Cassie’s skills as a Fertility Doula.

She is the savior we didn’t know we needed, but now believe everyone should have!

Cassie has been such an amazing support for us as a couple on this journey. From day one we felt like we had known her forever. Her approachable nature means we instantly felt comfortable asking questions on all subjects and her wealth of knowledge on the whole pre pregnancy and fertility journey was priceless. I would highly recommend anyone beginning their fertility journey, to have Cassie by their side. Always at the end of the phone and ready with helpful advice and answers to all manner of queries. We can’t thank her enough for her help and support through an emotional time. Without Cassie, we wouldn’t have known where to start. From clinics to doctors to books and reading materials she offered a full and wholesome service covering all bases. This gave us the confidence to start. I also tracked my cycles using Cassie’s spreadsheet and this enabled me to take charge of my fertility and understand my body better. I will continue to use the tracking sheet throughout as it was so helpful. A fertility journey can be lonely, scary and unnerving at times but Cassie was always there to guide us and stand beside us.

When I started my IVF journey, I was all over the place. I felt like I was racing against time. How could I be so old, and still feel so lost!

I found a brochure posted at IVI clinic, now ART, with Cassie’s contact information. We had various points of exchange and she was so willing to provide me such sound advice and steps to explore. She helped bring order amongst the chaos. She also brought me so much knowledge about what to ask, the various particulars of the process and confidence in moving forward. She took her time to meet with me, and I was so shocked she didn’t charge anything for her time and care. She constantly checked back in on me, and even years later we still keep in touch. I had told her back then, please make this your profession as you have so much passion and while I appreciated her time, I also felt guilty that she wasn’t compensated for such time spent away from her family. I was so pleased to find out that she recently obtained credentials to do so. I recommend Cassie without hesitation. The UAE community is so very lucky to have her expertise and presence of mind and passion at the helm. I am sure she will help so many families grow with more knowledge and less stress. Wishing everyone the very best in their journeys!
