Testimonials
Andrea's Prenatal Breast/Chestfeeding Class was so helpful in making me feel prepared for the experience of breastfeeding. She was thoughtful and made me feel so comfortable throughout the class, easily answering questions and establishing a nonjudgmental and welcoming environment. Andrea knows that everyone's breast/chestfeeding experience is unique and tailored her content to address our biggest concerns. I loved her demonstrations of techniques and her discussion of all angles of breast/chestfeeding, including social, emotional, and physical aspects. I would definitely recommend this class to others who are preparing for feeding their future little one.

I just passed 6 months of successfully breastfeeding this baby--a first for this mother of 3! A great factor in that success was the amazing support and education I received from Andrea before birth and in the first few weeks postpartum. The best part of having a virtual doula was the emotional support I so greatly needed. Andrea anticipated conversations and plans that needed to be made while I was still pregnant and then listened so well when I needed help postpartum. Andrea is a fantastic pregnancy and postpartum doula. She knows how to listen so well and provide excellent support that a new mother needs in the moment. She is knowledgeable, tender hearted, and exactly the smooth emotional comfort a new mother needs.

As a first-time mom, I had so much to learn in a very short time once my sweet baby arrived. I was pretty overwhelmed trying to cope with the challenges of breastfeeding, figuring out how to manage my day with a baby, and all while sleep deprived and trying to heal from birth. I was so focused on caring for my baby, and it was such a relief to have Andrea as a support. She provided ideas, suggestions, and focused readings tailored to my questions and struggles. Andrea is also a very kind and compassionate person who offered an understanding and helpful ear to discuss anything I needed. Her encouragement made me feel less alone in my challenges and gave me the support I needed to be the best mom I could be. She is a wealth of knowledge, experience, and kindness!

Andrea is a truly empathetic and caring postpartum doula with the knowledge and compassion to help during those stressful weeks with a newborn. She gave me invaluable support while navigating the transition to motherhood. Having a baby during a pandemic can be scary and challenging in many different ways, but Andrea's support brought me comfort, and she was always just a message or video call away. She shared helpful insights on how to take care of myself with a newborn, managing the emotional ups and downs, and breastfeeding tips to create a good foundation with my baby. I consider her a vital part of my postpartum care and would recommend her to any mother looking for guidance and support.

Andrea was extremely helpful offering breastfeeding resources and support after I had my third baby. Though I had breastfed before, each baby is unique and this was my first time experiencing a clogged milk duct. I reached out to Andrea and right away she responded with empathy and encouragement in a message, followed up by a video call letting me know of steps I could take to remedy the issue. She also provided resources I could read to learn more, and was available to check in as things were healing. I am so grateful for the care that Andrea gave! She truly has a heart for helping mothers.

Andrea is a long-time friend, and when she offered postpartum doula services, I jumped at the chance to get help with my postpartum depression. From the beginning of being her client, she was communicative, compassionate, and trustworthy. Although she is not a counselor, she reminded me to ground myself and do honest reality checks when my thoughts and feelings seemed to spiral out of control. She came to every session prepared with a list of check-ins, gentle ideas, and talking points to help empower me and start to reclaim my feelings of gratefulness that I had lost. It was wonderful to be able to talk and vent to someone who was also a mom, and who herself had gone through the joys and trials of parenting. Overall, Andrea helped me immensely, and I would absolutely recommend her to any potential client.
