Andrea was incredibly vital during both the days leading up to labor and the actual labor and delivery process. As every pregnancy and birth is unique, they bring with them a series of challenges and questions. Andrea calmed my nerves, supported my every wish, worked as a team with my husband and the nurses, clamped down on every muscle seize during contractions, and provided comic relief when we so needed a distraction. While labor is not a peaceful process, I felt at ease and calm throughout it all because of the support she provided. She is a healer in the best possible way. She is supportive without being pushy or overbearing, knowledgeable about the entire process and all the unknowns, intuitive to you and your partner's needs, and an overall incredible person. I would highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking for a Doula!!

Boy oh Boy! Andrea Doula helped my wife and I deliver a beautiful baby, and I cannot be more thankful. At first, I didn’t understand why we would need a doula? As a dedicated husband and soon to be father, If I understood what we wanted, and I was a good support for my wife, then why hire a doula? I can handle this right? Well, let me tell you, we are so thankful to have a doula who knows our values and has the experience to help guide us through the stressful tribulations of childbirth. Now it is so much clearer to me that a doula is not a replacement for me, nor a result of the inadequacy of my support, rather, a great doula can represent our needs in such a strong manner with the depth of birthing experience brought to the table. The birthing experience Andrea brought to our birth combined with a deep understanding of our values, allowed for my wife and I navigate all the unfolding challenges of birth with grace and confidence. In short, Andrea was a deeply trusted mate who my wife could turn to and receive sage support and guidance from during the birth. While for me, Andrea was someone who I trusted I could get valuable advice from in choosing safe options that best fit our birthing values. I would not have a baby without a Doula, and Andrea was the perfect Doula for us. Thanks Andrea.
You know how you can just tell when someone is doing what they are called to do on this earth? You know how when someone you just met can also feel like you’ve known them your entire life? This is Andrea all the way. My husband and I were blessed to be guided by her on our pregnancy journey, and it was completely life-changing for the both of us. A doula is not just for the pregnant mama...she is also there to support the husband or birth partner and show them how to best support the mama during birth. Our sessions with Andrea leading up to the birth were transformational for us as a couple as we also learned more about ourselves and each other. This paved an essential foundation for our birth story to unfold upon. Andrea has walked the walk herself, and has done it so gracefully, in a way that I really respect and admire. Beyond the childbirth education courses that she offers, she has a wealth of knowledge and so many amazing tools in her toolbox to help guide you on your sacred journey. She’s also very spiritually connected with a worldly and wise perspective, which really helped ground me when I was in my head, being fearful, and needed it the most. For me, as the mama, being pregnant was a very emotional journey where I worked through a lot of fear. I couldn’t have done this work without Andrea’s support and loving guidance. She really has an amazing way of redirecting fear into excitement which made me feel so much more confident and trusting towards my body and this process. If you are searching for a doula or even considering one, look no further. Andrea is THE Tahoe Doula. Thank you Andrea for supporting us and making our journey so memorable and so beautiful. Because of you, we were able to take on the birth more confidently, educated, prepared, and be legitimately excited about it. Now we have such an amazing beautiful baby girl and we couldn’t be happier! We love you like family and appreciate you and all you did for us!
In addition to her complete and total support, Andrea brings a wealth of knowledge (professional and personal) into her practice as a doula. We were so impressed every step of the way - before, during, and after the birth of our beautiful baby. Andrea's understanding of the birthing process is as comprehensive as it gets. On a professional level, she is well informed and up to date with current research, offering a multitude of information that we found very helpful. On a personal level, Andrea is a highly intuitive individual with a knack for getting things right! The combination of these qualities is what makes her special and stand out. We feel blessed to have had Andrea with us along this awesome ride and couldn't imagine doing it differently.
Andrea was awesome to work with. Because of COVID19 we were unable to have her with us during the birth but she did all she could to support us in preparation for giving birth. We had a very informative and helpful Zoom session with her that made us feel empowered and ready for the process. My only regret is that I couldnt have her with me for the actual event. Next time she will be!!! Thank you Andrea (and the whole Tahoe Doula team, I love the weekly meetings too!)
We are so grateful Andrea was part of our birth experience. My labor was a complete 180 from what we had envisioned, but I feel it was a positive experience. We loved our meetings before the birth. The homework exercises really helped Dave and I be on the same page in preparation for the birth. Both of us felt that the three of us were a team throughout pregnancy and birth. My labor was exceptionally long and it really helped Dave to be able to tag out and take a break as the support coach physically. Andrea's natural demeanor is high energy and humor balanced with love and nurture; which was wonderful to be around during my pregnancy/ labor. Andrea is fantastic at her job and I would absolutely recommend her to people who are looking for a positive pregnancy and birth experience!
I am so grateful to have had Andrea as my Doula! Not only did she provided me with support and insight during my pregnancy but her emotional and physical support helped make the labor and home birth of my 2nd daughter a beautiful memory I will always cherish. When things went wrong after the birth, I knew I could count on her to be steady and support my midwife to provide us with the help we needed to make the transition to the ER. Thank you Andrea
Andrea is amazing. She is caring, knowledgeable and a strong advocate for expecting mommas both before, during and after the birth. Highly recommend!
