Bio
Andrea began her career in the health and wellness industry over a decade ago as front desk and support staff, and she is now so proud to be working in her dream practice.
Since 2017, Andrea has dedicated her practice to perinatal and reproductive healthcare, finding the most joy in supporting folks through the tender times of fertility, pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. She continues to see a varied clientele, including those seeking general orthopedic care, myofascial pain relief, and nervous system regulation. Using a combination of deep tissue work, relaxation techniques, and balanced home care prescriptions, she works with her patients to achieve their health goals.
Outside of work, she loves to run, crochet, hike, hang out at the beach, and enjoy live music. Currently, Andrea is on a hiatus from taking labor support clients as she focuses on leading our incredibly talented team and ensuring quality care for Lagoon’s patients in the clinic.

Andrea’s approach to care
I believe first and foremost in creating a soft and nurturing treatment environment. Trust and relationship building is the foundation to any long term powerful healing experiences, and it is my absolute priority that you feel cared for and heard when you are in our space.
There is always room for effective care while feeling deeply nourished and relaxed at the same time. This is your treatment, and I’m here to support you, wherever you are at.
