ABOUT MATERNAL HAVEN
A village built around you.
Maternal Haven grew from walking alongside families through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and newborn life and seeing how often they were left to piece together support on their own. We believed care could feel more connected. So we created a place where families could find trusted doulas, thoughtful guidance, newborn and postpartum support, and coordinated resources in one circle of care. Because every family is different, our support is personal by design. We take the time to understand your values, preferences, and needs, then build care around you.
Maternal Haven is more than support for a single moment. It is a trusted place to land as your family grows.
MEET THE FOUNDER
Hi I’m Andrea, Full-Spectrum Doula & Childbirth Educator. My work with families showed me how difficult it could be to find care that felt truly trustworthy, personal, and consistent. I created Maternal Haven to offer something more thoughtful: a circle of support built around each family, with care that feels calm, connected, and deeply personal. My own experiences shaped that vision. I grew up understanding the importance of community, resilience, and having people who genuinely show up for you. That belief remains at the heart of everything I build. Today, I thoughtfully guide the care experience at Maternal Haven from the professionals we welcome into our circle to the way each family is supported throughout pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and life with a newborn. I built Maternal Haven to be the kind of village families can trust.

OUR CARE MODEL
THE HAVEN CIRCLE
You deserve support that stays.
Most care stops when the moment does. The Haven Circle was built on a different belief, that families need consistent, relationship-centered support not just during birth, but through every transition before and after it. Six intentional phases. One continuous relationship. A care model that moves with you, not ahead of you.
01
Grounding
INITIAL SESSION
We begin by getting to know you.
Your first session is a space to be heard fully and without rushing. We learn about your birth preferences, your fears, your history, and what support means to you. This isn't an intake form. It's the beginning of a relationship built on trust.
02
Preparation
PREPARATION SESSIONS
We help your body and mind get ready for birth.
Through education, comfort techniques, and birth planning, we help you feel genuinely prepared not just informed. You'll move toward your birth day with clarity, confidence, and a plan that reflects your values and your family's unique needs.
03
Attunement
ATTUNEMENT SESSIONS
We stay close as your due date approaches.
The weeks before birth can feel charged with anticipation and uncertainty. These check-ins keep our connection strong, help you process what's arising emotionally, and ensure your support team is fully aligned and ready when labor begins.
04
Presence
LABOR & DELIVERY SUPPORT
We are with you every step of labor and birth.
Your doula arrives when you need her and stays until your baby is here. Physical support, emotional grounding, advocacy, and an unwavering calm presence no matter how your birth unfolds.
05
Integration
INTEGRATION SESSIONS
The support doesn't stop when you come home.
The postpartum period is its own profound transition. We visit you at home to support your recovery, your feeding journey, your emotional well-being, and your adjustment into parenthood. This is where healing begins and where many families need the most care.
06
Continuity
CONTINUITY SESSIONS
We grow with your family, not away from it.
Extended care keeps the relationship alive as your family finds its new rhythm. Whether you need overnight newborn support, ongoing emotional check-ins, or a trusted presence as you settle into parenthood we remain a steady, familiar hand through every transition.
