About Andrea

Birth is not a personality trait. It's practice, clarity, and support. I'm a second-generation birthworker and Full Spectrum Doula with nine years of experience. I walk with families from conception through postpartum, and my practice is rooted in trauma-informed care, Black and Brown resilience, and care for all bodies and identities — including size inclusivity and LGBTQ+ affirming support. I specialize in helping parents navigate unmedicated births, VBACs, cesarean recovery, and parents over 35. As a Childbirth Educator, Community Lactation Educator, and Maternal Health Consultant, I meet you where you are with high-touch, personalized care. As a yogi, I weave mindfulness, breath-work, and movement into care, helping families find balance and resilience in real time. Whether you're preparing for birth, navigating postpartum, or a partner trying to make sense of it all, you're welcome here. Let's nurture this journey together.

We are beyond grateful to have had Andrea by our side. She prepared me so well for birth and has continued to support us postpartum with her knowledge, experience, and thoughtful guidance. During labor, she was an incredible source of calm and strength. She empowered us to make our own informed decisions, always making sure we understood our options. She worked seamlessly with the doctors and nurses while also advocating for our wishes. She seemed to know exactly what I needed, even before I did, and communicated with the medical team when I couldn’t. Andrea made us feel safe, supported, and truly cared for throughout our journey. We couldn’t have asked for a better doula, and we will always be grateful for everything she did for our family.

Andrea is the doula you want at your birth! I found her randomly on TikTok. I knew I wanted a doula at my birth whether that be at a hospital or birth center. I loved her videos and how she prioritizes choice and education. I knew she was the one from scrolling through her page. We ended up meeting with a few others (at the advice of one of her videos) and it confirmed she was the right match for us. We picked her mid package and it has everything you need. Her appointments were organized and taught us something every time. She really made us feel prepared for labor. On the day of my delivery, she was on it. Her calming voice and guidance helped me navigate through he intensity of labor. I didn’t even know what I needed, but she did. I was dying of thirst- boom a straw was there. She kept me hydrated like a little hamster and gave me that boost I needed between pushes. Most of all, she ended up getting some amazing pictures and a video of my birth that I will cherish forever. I truly cannot recommend her enough!

I can't imagine my birth journey without Andrea and Nurture & Flow. Andrea is an incredible educator and birth doula. My partner and I had attended various childbirth education courses, but our sessions with Andrea stood out above the rest. She was so thorough and informative, and she's very intentional about using inclusive language to reflect the different ways people become parents. I experienced some medical trauma during my pregnancy, and having Nurture & Flow by my side helped alleviate a lot of my anxiety going into childbirth. Andrea and her support doula helped me through 2 days of labor. Andrea personally helped me labor at home and progress far beyond my expectations, and she knew exactly where to apply counter pressure to help ease my pain and help me get some rest. She also helped me and my partner with postpartum support. She's truly amazing!
