Ande is AMAZING! I could go on and on. She is extremely knowledgeable, from her vast experience as a doula and mama herself, to her toolkit of evidence based research and studies, to her large network of local doulas and resources. Ande was always prepared to meet and discuss my questions or worries with all of the information I needed - and of course, blended with comfort and reassurance. She was determined to understand my goals for my ideal birth story, and worked to support that. It was clear that baby and I were her first priority, and she used her tools and knowledge to support us. She did not force or influence any decisions, but would give me her opinion when I asked for it. She helped me navigate a difficult five day induction / labor - I could not have done it without her. When I needed emotional support, she was there. When I needed information, she was there. When I needed her opinion and advice, she was there. I could not have asked for a better doula. She is flexible, too, which was extremely helpful. When I needed to reschedule meetings, she totally understood. She is generous with her time and her talent. If she says she is going to do something, she does. She is reliable, trustworthy, and again - SO knowledgeable and mother-centered. Ande will be my doula for any babies to come. :)
