About Me
Hi, I’m Andie! I’m a wife, mom of two, certified doula, and the heart behind Restoring Birth.
My passion for birth began when I was pregnant with my first baby. Like so many women, I realized how much fear, confusion, and intervention surrounds childbirth today and how far we’ve drifted from the powerful process it was designed to be. I dove into childbirth education classes, became passionate about natural birth, and set my heart on having a medication-free delivery. By God’s grace, I did and I discovered a strength I didn’t even know I had.
But it wasn’t until later, after talking with friends about birth, that someone asked me:
“Why haven’t you thought about becoming a doula?”
At first, I hesitated, but then my other friend invited me to her birth. While there, I had such strong instincts and I hadn’t even taken certification courses yet! I felt like I knew exactly what to do and how to support her best in each moment. Being in that room, supporting her, encouraging her, coaching her, I knew deep down:
This is what I’m meant to do.
I went on to earn my doula certification through the Madriella Network, balancing studies while raising my two children and working part-time. It wasn’t always easy and I had a thousand doubts along the way, but God kept nudging me forward. Eventually, the Lord helped me realize: real faith means stepping out, even when you can’t see the whole path ahead of you.
That’s why I’m here now.
Why I Do This Work
I believe birth is holy ground. It’s a moment of incredible power, beauty, and vulnerability. It’s a space where women deserve to feel seen, supported, and honored.
At Restoring Birth, I offer:
✅ Physical comfort techniques to help you cope with labor
✅ Emotional reassurance through every stage
✅ Education and tools so you can make informed decisions
✅ Advocacy for your desires and birth plan
✅ Optional spiritual and prayer support, for moms who want faith woven into the experience
I am unapologetically Christian, but you don’t have to be! Whether you want faith integrated or prefer a purely practical approach, I’m here to walk with you through one of life’s most profound journeys.
What You Can Expect With Me
When you work with me, you’ll get:
Personalized, one-on-one care
Someone who listens deeply to your hopes, fears, and needs
A steady, calming presence during the intensity of birth
A champion for your strength and voice, helping you trust your body
Let’s Connect
I currently take on 2–3 births per month so I can give each mom the attention and care she deserves.
