With more than a decade of experience, she offers a steady, calming presence and thoughtful guidance, helping parents move through birth, postpartum, and early parenthood with confidence and reassurance. Andrea was drawn to doula work after recognizing how often families are left without the support they truly need. What began as a calling quickly became a passion, leading her to deepen her training in postpartum care, holistic infant sleep support, and lactation. She meets families where they are, listening closely and offering care that respects each family’s values, preferences, and instincts. Andrea finds the greatest fulfillment in watching parents settle into themselves, trusting their abilities and growing into their role with confidence and compassion. Outside of her work, Andrea treasures time with her husband and daughters. She enjoys swimming, spending time outdoors, reading, playing with her dogs, and curling up for cozy movie nights. No matter where you are on your journey, Andrea is here to offer steady support, evidence informed care, and the reassurance that you are not alone.
