Certified Life and Fertility Coach, Founder at InCircle Fertility
Abbe founded InCircle Fertility after emerging on the other side of her all-consuming struggles with infertility and pregnancy loss. During her six-year path to becoming a mother, she and her husband created the podcast Maculate Conception (audible) to process their deep grief and isolation while going through treatment after treatment. Through that podcast, women from all over the world reached out to Abbe, and almost accidentally, she began to help them on their own journeys. Abbe meets women and couples wherever they are in their path to parenthood - and wherever they are in the world - to provide the support and guidance needed to find a resolution. More than explaining what’s going on in the process of Assisted Reproductive Technology, she holds hands and hearts through the often grueling experience. She is a recurring contributor to the blogs What’s Up Moms and Fertility, Rescripted. You can find her on social media at @abbefeder (Instagram) and @InCircleFertility (Instagram). Abbe grew up on the mean streets of New York’s Upper East Side and holds a degree in Behavioral Science. She is an avid mahjong and card player, an escape room enthusiast, and has been called by many friends a true "balabusta." Abbe is married to filmmaker Isaac Feder (they are a true Hollywood cliche), and they live in Los Angeles with their toddler twins.
