Andelynn’s Story:
My journey into birth work started when I was just eight years old and I had the incredible opportunity to witness my baby brother be born. I discovered the incredible power that women have to birth their children into the world, to listen to one's intuition, and feel the sacred reverence of the birthing space that doesn’t exist anywhere else. In 2020, I found doula work and immediately jumped at the opportunity to support women in the emotional spaces of labor and delivery that too often get swept aside for the way of the medical. Both are important. Both are needed. To be a pillar of support for the mother and family so she can have the birthing experience of her dreams is my way of changing the world for the better, one birth at a time. I entered postpartum doula work after the birth of my son in 2023, when I felt the deep postpartum depression that comes from a great lack of support for the mother. As I did the work to come out of my disease, I decided I needed to do whatever was possible so I can help even just one other mother to not feel the same way I did.
I work inside a mother-centered care model. This means I believe that parents intuitively know how to birth their babies, how to care for their babies, and how to care for each other. When parents have the foundational systems of support in place, they can access that intuitive knowledge easily. Part of my work with each client is to help provide those foundational support systems so they can tap back into that intuition and deeply believe in the wisdom it offers.
I am currently serving families here in Reno, NV, and serve any family that needs me and am a good fit for. I do not exclude based on religion, race, gender identity, or sexual orientation. EVERYONE deserves to be supported during birth and postpartum.
Outside of birthwork, I enjoy spending any free time I have with my son. We enjoy the farmers market, local parks, watching the ducks, going on runs, hiking, and listening to any live music we can find (and dance along of course!).
