About Me

Hi, I'm Andrea! I'm the Founder of Maternal Haven and the Creator of the Haven Circle™ Model of Care. As a Birth & Postpartum Doula and Childbirth Educator, I support families through the deeply transformative journey of pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. This work is truly my calling.

Through Maternal Haven, I offer care that is restorative, culturally mindful, and deeply personalized, support that evolves as your needs change, providing steadiness across pregnancy, birth, and postpartum rather than isolated moments of care. Because your journey deserves a circle of support that evolves with you, every step of the way.

Practice Philosophy

My approach sits at the intersection of emotional wellness, cultural humility, and practical guidance. I honor ancestral knowledge and traditional wisdom while also supporting families as they navigate modern perinatal systems and healthcare structures, bridging the gap between these worlds so you feel truly held, informed, and empowered.

My work is guided by the Haven Circle's core pillars: connection, continuity, restoration, and community care. I blend holistic healing with evidence-informed practices to create a grounded, nurturing experience for every family.

Through Maternal Haven, I offer support that evolves as your needs change, providing steadiness across pregnancy, birth, and postpartum rather than isolated moments of care. Overall, my goal is to surround you with a circle of restorative, culturally mindful, and deeply personalized support that grows with you, every step of the way.
