Doula Care in San Diego | Birth & Postpartum Support

Care That Meets You Where You Are.

ABOUT MATERNAL HAVEN

Maternal Haven was founded on the simple belief that every family deserves compassionate, knowledgeable support as they navigate pregnancy, birth, postpartum recovery, and life with a new baby.

We know that no two families have the same journey. Some are looking for birth support, others need help recovering after delivery, and many simply need the opportunity to rest while knowing their newborn is in experienced, caring hands. Wherever you are in your journey, we meet you with personalized care that honors your goals, your values, and your family’s unique needs.

Your thoughtfully-curated team of doulas provide continuous birth support, postpartum support, and overnight newborn care throughout San Diego. Every interaction is rooted in evidence-informed care, emotional attunement, cultural humility, and the belief that families deserve to feel safe, confident, and genuinely supported.

At Maternal Haven, our mission isn’t simply to help you through birth, it’s to create a place where families feel cared for, empowered, and never alone during one of life’s most transformative seasons.

Hi im Andrea, Full Spectrum Doula and Childbirth Educator.

I am dedicated to helping families feel supported, informed, and cared for from bump and beyond. I built Maternal Haven on the belief that every family deserves compassionate, evidence-informed care that honors their unique values, culture, and goals. Whether supporting families through labor and birth, providing overnight newborn care, or guiding parents during postpartum recovery, my approach is rooted in calm, compassionate presence, evidence-informed education, thoughtful advocacy, and a continuity of care model that ensures families feel supported every step of the way.

Beyond working directly with families, I am passionate about advancing the future of perinatal care. Through Maternal Haven, I am committed to strengthening birth support, mentoring emerging doulas, and developing sustainable models that help birth workers build long, healthy, and fulfilling careers. I believe that when doulas are supported, educated, and able to thrive, families receive better care and entire communities benefit.
