I’ve known Andrea for years, and have been working with her as as my doula mentee for two months. I’m a seasoned doula with over 12 years of experience providing birth, postpartum, and clinical lactation support. Andrea has completed her formal postpartum doula training with one of the most reputable trainers in the industry globally, Anne Grauer. Additionally, Andrea has spent several hours shadowing both daytime and overnight postpartum support, gaining valuable hands-on skills such as infant handling and newborn care. This experience has enabled Andrea to receive real-time feedback and coaching, and rapidly develop a proficiency of comfort, ease, and confidence in addition to her formal knowledge and training.

Additionally, with a relationship coaching background, Andrea naturally excels in developing relationships, anticipating and meeting others’ emotional and practical needs, and nurturing an empathetic and safe environment for anyone who needs a tender hand or a non judgmental shoulder to lean on. She’s a fantastic source of emotional, practical, and physical support; a person whose integrity, sincerity, and professionalism I admire; and someone who I believe will accompany with so many new parents on the walk into parenthood with more grace, fun, and ease. It is my honor to know her in all capacities. Anyone who chooses to welcome Andrea as a source of support during this season of life will certainly enjoy and benefit from the experience!
