about.
LAURA FLETCHER
Laura Fletcher, CD (DONA) is the mother of two, founder and CEO of Selah Fertility and author of The Grace of Grief: Healing and Hope After Miscarriage (GreenLeaf 10.4.22).
Born in Ullapool, Scotland, Laura grew up in a family of entrepreneurs that valued and demanded transparency, selflessness, and hustle. Community and advocacy have always driven Laura in her career. From jobs within hospitality, to launching a female owned wine company, The Inquisitor Wine Company, Laura was always called to connect with and to empower women.
my journey
In 2018, after surviving multiple devastating , back to back miscarriages, Laura took matters into her own hands. Taking a stand against the grief that had derailed her life for years, Laura shifted from a victim mentality to a position of self-advocacy and action. In 2020, Laura became part of the solution and became a certified Doula through Dona International and shortly after founded Selah Fertility to address a deeply personal and deeply problematic occurrence in women’s care.
a new beginning
Founding Selah Fertility, in 2021, came from a passion to address “unexplained" miscarriages and widely experienced fertility issues. Through Selah, Laura is in the pursuit to equip every individual with the tools they need to optimize their health and, as an extension, their fertility. Selah uses modern and traditional doctor-approved practices to create a bold and personalized fertility journey for each and every family. Selah’s bespoke approach instills confidence and delivers grace to pregnancy need, preconception during pregnancy, and postpartum.

"There is a lot of fear in the unknown and a lot is unknown when trying to conceive, dealing with pregnancy loss, and while pregnant. Selah's holistic program helps women navigate through these uncertainties by providing education, therapy, and resources that transforms that fear into empowerment."

Dr. Atena Asiaii is a board-certified OB/GYN who specializes in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery and reproductive immunology. She treats a variety of conditions including infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, PCOS, endometriosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts, and uterine anomalies.
Her philosophy of care centers around empathetic and personalized care where patients feel validated and heard. She advocates for her patients including them as part of the care team.
