Andrea R. | Birth Doula in Los Angeles, CA

Hi there, I'm Andrea, and my goal is to make a positive impact in the world of maternal health and well-being. Currently, I am volunteering for the Happy Mama Healthy Baby Alliance (HMHBA) as a Birth Doula. I've also taken on a board member position with HMHBA because I believe so strongly in the cause.

My focus is on supporting women, especially those in low-income communities and women of color. I've seen firsthand the unique challenges these incredible women face, and it's fueled my passion to make a difference in their lives. Being from Guatemala, my passion lies in supporting Latina women in my community as bilingual Doula.

As a Doula, Yoga Instructor, and Wellness Coach, I approach my work with a holistic mindset. I want to be there for mothers every step of the way on their journey to improved well-being. I get it – the struggles, the joys, and everything in between. My goal is to guide moms toward a lifestyle that's not only healthier but tailored to their individual needs.

I'm all about breaking down barriers and ensuring that every mom, regardless of background or circumstances, has the support she deserves. In my role as a Doula, I'm there to provide emotional, physical, and informational support during the incredible journey of pregnancy and childbirth.

Whether I'm leading a yoga class or coaching on wellness, I want to make a real impact. I offer expertise in areas like nutrition, physical fitness, and mental well-being. From preconception through pregnancy to postpartum care, I'm here for women in every stage of motherhood. My background is in public health and currently certified under Happy Mama Healthy Baby Alliance as a Birth Doula. I got my certification in May 2023 and have been part of their board since July 2023. I am also a certified 200 hr Yoga Instructor and 85 hr Prenatal and Postnatal Yoga Instructor. I got my certifications in 2021 and 2022. I have experience in Ayurveda, when it comes to nutrition and lifestyle, which I incorporate in my teachings in prenatal and postpartum care.

Join me on this journey, and let's empower mothers to embrace a holistic and healthier lifestyle. Together, we can make a difference, one birth and one wellness session at a time.
