Andrea's dedication to supporting parents and parents-to-be through compassionate prenatal education and care has earned national recognition, highlighting the impact of Indigenous women entrepreneurs who are making a difference in their communities.
Through Lagoon Prenatal, Andrea has created a welcoming space where families receive education, encouragement, and personalized support throughout their pregnancy and early parenting journey. Her business reflects a deep commitment to wellness, community, and helping families build confidence during one of life's most important experiences.
At NEDC, we are honoured to support Indigenous entrepreneurs like Andrea as they grow successful businesses that strengthen communities and inspire others to pursue their dreams.
Congratulations, Andrea, on this well-deserved recognition! We invite everyone to watch her inspiring interview with CHEK News.
