You are on a journey...



From the moment you realized you were expecting, you have been on a journey of discovery. Whether this is your first baby or your fifth, you know that this path is not meant to be walked alone. Most American women today give birth surrounded by people they barely know and come home to care for a newborn with little or no hands-on support. You know that you want more than this. You want a knowledgeable, experienced, and empathetic guide to walk this path with you. You want support and encouragement on this journey so you can give birth on your own terms and enter motherhood full of confidence. If this sounds like you, you have come to the right place.

"I am so thankful for having Andrea as my rock, to help me keep focused, and accomplish exactly what I wanted, a peaceful birth.  It may not have happened as we planned it, but I could not imagine it going any better than it did."
