I’m Tova and I’m a full spectrum doula who believes passionately in providing non-judgmental, trauma-informed support for every outcome. I came to reproductive work through my own personal experiences of loss, diagnosed infertility, birth trauma and postpartum anxiety. These experiences have informed my work deeply and continue to inspire me as I walk alongside my clients through their own unique reproductive journeys. My approach is client-led and tailored to each individual person that I work with. I believe strongly in the wisdom and autonomy of birthing bodies and I strive to create an experience for my clients in which they feel held, trusted and respected completely. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec04ddb76d8ae37cff1de8a/1628137133602-Z3LVYX1DKQMF02ZD8TTV/cherry-picking_web.jpg About I work across the full spectrum of reproductive experience, meaning that I am available for support through birth, postpartum, loss, abortion, pre-conception and beyond. I specialize in working with reproductive loss in all forms, including miscarriage, stillbirth and termination as well as fertility and assisted reproductive technologies (IVF, IUI, etc). I also love to work with clients who are navigating pregnancy, birth or postpartum with a history of loss, termination or fertility struggles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec04ddb76d8ae37cff1de8a/1628137163941-SQ57HKMSE1JL2251C9QO/Tova_and_Olive_web.jpg About My practice is guided strongly by values of non-judgement, trauma-informed care and accessibility. I believe in meeting clients where they are at and trusting the people I work with to make the decisions that are right for them. I do not condone any specific methods or ideologies around birth or reproductive care and try to hold every situation as unique and specific to the person experiencing it. My work is in service to the wisdom and inherent knowing that’s present in each and every client I support. https://www.darkmoondoula.com/home daily 1.0 2025-02-11 https://www.darkmoondoula.com/contact daily 0.75 2021-08-05 https://www.darkmoondoula.com/home-1 daily 0.75 2020-05-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec04ddb76d8ae37cff1de8a/1589753897226-XGK5B6TH7SM6DRC3HX11/DMD_3x2in_white-05.png Home (Alt) https://www.darkmoondoula.com/home-alt-v2 daily 0.75 2020-05-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec04ddb76d8ae37cff1de8a/1589753823498-7XXG8BINYV5NR658EXAU/DMD_3x2in_white-05.png Home (Alt v2) https://www.darkmoondoula.com/home-2 daily 0.75 2021-07-08 https://www.darkmoondoula.com/home-3 daily 0.75 2021-07-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec04ddb76d8ae37cff1de8a/1625780462011-1B92TD10Z3RV691KOC7Z/tova_flower.jpeg Home (Copy) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.darkmoondoula.com/fertility daily 0.75 2021-08-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec04ddb76d8ae37cff1de8a/1628136936737-F7Y1Y7XO5PZECWX6RH33/flower_basket.jpg Fertility - Fertility The journey across the threshold of parenthood is one that begins long before a baby is born, or often, even conceived. Preconception is a potent portal of it’s own whether you are just starting to entertain the idea of bringing a child into the world or have been trying for a long while. I believe this is an excellent time to start working with a doula, laying the foundation for a supported process that will carry you through as your journey continues to unfold. https://www.darkmoondoula.com/loss daily 0.75 2021-08-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec04ddb76d8ae37cff1de8a/1628136962079-A5LCVYJC42K49T6VHYSB/ocean_rocks.jpg Loss - Reproductive Loss From the start, my work as a doula has always centered around reproductive loss for one simple reason: there are so few spaces where loss is centered, or even openly acknowledged. Statistics tell us that 1 in 4 pregnancies end in loss and yet, we continue to act as if it doesn’t even exist, to sweep it under the rug as we shame and stigmatize those who experience it. I believe that loss is a fundamental aspect of the reproductive process that needs to be seen, discussed and most importantly, supported. https://www.darkmoondoula.com/birth daily 0.75 2026-07-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec04ddb76d8ae37cff1de8a/1628137007023-2WNFX27B6HOUCM0Y56TI/ocean_sun.jpg Birth - Birth Birth is powerful. Birth is sacred. Birth is a portal. Birth is magic. I have so much reverence for the medicine of birth. It informs every single thing I do as a doula. https://www.darkmoondoula.com/postpartum daily 0.75 2021-08-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec04ddb76d8ae37cff1de8a/1628137033914-T84XW1SEVAP0AIS23SRD/herb_basket.jpg Postpartum - Postpartum Serving people as they cross over the threshold into postpartum is one of the greatest joys and privileges of my work as a doula.
