Abortions are personal and so is the support we offer.
Wherever you’re at right now, all of you is welcome here.
All the support folk listed below have completed our abortion support training which is delivered thorough a reproductive justice lens and promotes a holistic approach to care where women, trans and non-binary individuals feel seen, safe and supported.
Each wonderful person provides support in their own way and Dopo does not take responsibility for their actions.
I firmly believed that how I felt following my abortion would never change. Zachi proved to me that this wasn’t the case. She is a phenomenal woman and excellent at what she does. I can’t recommend her enough, nor can I thank her enough.

It’s really difficult to put into words how grateful I am to Zachi. Her support and advice has completely transformed my life. She is totally non-judgemental, patient and not worried about pushing you to challenge yourself when she knows you can do it.

I had cut myself off from any sexual experiences for fear of getting pregnant again and had become completely desexualised. This was a big thing for me and because of our sessions, particularly the exercises she taught me, I no longer feel like this.

I have a better sense of love, acceptance and support for myself in a way that I didn't have before. Thank you so much for your help and guidance through this!!

In collaboration with Sheffield Maternity Cooperative, Zachi will be leading a monthly online support group for abortion focused self-care and community care. If you are planning to have or have previously had an abortion, recently or years ago, then you are most welcome here.
A Note about Money
To ensure that our services are accessible to everyone, we offer all of our 1:1 sessions on a sliding scale basis which we can discuss on your discovery call.
This allows us to make our services accessible for folks where the cost is prohibitive, and also represents dignity for our work and value for our time.
Each session is your space to honestly and safely explore your emotions and have the conversations that matter to you.
The ones about feeling alone. The ones about not having a choice and also about not having a doubt. The ones about mistrusting your body and drawing on the power within. We talk about hope and grief. We discuss the strange guilt that rises from not feeling guilty. We have the conversations about trauma and pain, relief and joy and how although contradictory, we feel it all. We talk about the sex that you have or never want to have again and the pleasure that eludes you.
You’ll be fully supported with tools and practices to help you self-soothe and find comfort in your own breath, your own touch (yes! self-hugs are a thing) and your own sensuous knowledge.
