ABOUT

Hello, there and welcome! Wherever you are on your journey of motherhood, I am honored that it has led you here.

My name is Andrea Evinger (on-Dray-uh Ee-ving-er). I married a North Dakota boy and we now have three sweet and spunky littles. I enjoy dark roast coffee with a splash of cream, only want to wear comfy clothes (hello sensory needs!), camping, and cozying up with a good book. I hold a bachelor’s in English from University of Mary, along with a graduate teaching certificate in early childhood education from The Guided Center for Montessori Studies.

From my three vastly different postpartum experiences, there was born a desire to help mamas and their families have a supported postpartum, instead of an isolated, unsupported one. I pursued postpartum doula training with BEST in February 2023.

Through Nestled in Postpartum, I hope to help families change the narrative. While I cannot be there to support you through every challenging moment in your fourth trimester, my promise is this: to listen and hold space, to provide in-home physical support, to give you breaks, to carry some of the daily burden of household tasks, to prioritize what you find most important, and to connect you with resources to find the professional support you deserve. I am not a stranger to nor afraid of the messy, exhausted, emotional, teary, tough days of postpartum. I also believe that early postpartum can be a time of bonding, deep joy, and healing, brimming with moments of beauty when a family is supported well.

Thank you for being here. Thank you for challenging the cultural narrative that early motherhood can only be a dark place and a sick hazing ritual which every mother worth her salt must undergo. Just because you can do it all alone does not mean you have to.

I would welcome the opportunity to hear your story and to be apart of creating a more supported postpartum season for you and your family. I look forward to hearing from you.

Andrea
