Andrea (she/her) is a DONA International Trained Postpartum Doula, a Certified Lactation Counselor, and Certified Advanced Postpartum Doula (EDCD)

Andrea is enthusiastic about supporting all families as they navigate the many stages of parenthood from pregnancy, during their lactation journeys, and through postpartum. As your postpartum doula, she will assist with newborn care, babywearing, light household chores, feeding challenges and will support your decisions as you discover your parenting style. Andrea enjoys helping parents create plans for their physical recovery after birth, including setting boundaries with postpartum visitors to prioritize the health of the baby and the physical and emotional well being of the birthing parent. Andrea grew up and went to college in Pennsylvania, spent several years as a nanny in Evanston, IL and now calls Chapel Hill home with her husband and two daughters.  She enjoys swing dancing, reading, and hosting board game afternoons with her family and friends.  She loves to plan events and connect people, so you will often find her organizing a potluck with friends from church or coordinating neighborhood community events. Andrea looks forward to accompanying you on this journey of parenthood and supporting you as you welcome new life into your family.
