About Me

My name is Andrea Sandvig, and I began working as a doula in June of 2012. I am currently seeking my birth doula certification through DONA International, and plan to pursue training in breastfeeding support and placenta encapsulation techniques in the future. I am a mother of two, and their births made me who I am today. You can read about them here and here. I am able to provide personal experience and support in the following aspects of birth, pregnancy and parenting:

• Teen Pregnancy
• Premature Birth
• Past Abuse or Trauma Support
• Home Births
• HBAC/VBAC
• Cesarean Births
• Disabled Mothers
• Difficulty Breastfeeding
• Post-partum Depression
• Cloth Diapering
• Attachment Parenting
• Baby Wearing

In my free time I enjoy knitting, crocheting, practicing ukulele, playing with my kiddos, exploring Des Moines with my husband, and watching Doctor Who!
