About the founder

Rachel Van Thyn is a rabbi, spiritual director, and board-certified chaplain who started RVT IVF to provide emotional and spiritual support to people on their fertility journeys.

Rachel went through her own experience with IVF during the worst surges of the pandemic in New York City while serving as a front-line hospital worker.

She lives with her husband Toby, her son Asher who was born via IVF, and their friendly flatcoat retriever Neko in Brooklyn.

Services

RVT IVF works with individuals, couples, and families at all stages of the IVF, IUI, or surrogacy process, regardless of their spiritual beliefs or faith tradition.

RVT IVF teaches organizations and communities how to better support their members going through these experiences.

RVT IVF services are also available as a bespoke benefit for employers to provide emotional and spiritual fertility support to their staff.
