About Me

Hi, I’m Andrea, founder of Maternal Haven. I’m a Full-Spectrum Doula, Certified Childbirth Educator, and Newborn Care Specialist passionate about helping families feel supported, informed, and confident throughout pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and the transition into parenthood.

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.

Practice Philosophy

Because birth is unpredictable, Maternal Haven uses a team-based approach. You’ll have two doulas as part of your care team: Andrea, your primary doula, and a dedicated backup doula. You’ll have the opportunity to connect with both, so you have trusted, familiar support when labor begins. 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.
