AURORA
The Story Behind
Andrea Stanford
Andrea Stanford brings more than twenty years of personal recovery and professional dedication to the work of Aurora. As a mother, she understands what it means to need a safe place to land, and how rarely that exists for women in traditional care settings.
Through years of working in behavioral health, she watched women be reduced to diagnoses, stripped of individuality, and left without the kind of trust-centered support that lasting recovery actually requires. Aurora is what she built in response.
Founder & Chief Executive Officer
A space grounded in the belief that when women feel truly safe, healing follows.
Róisín, Mulkerrins
Róisín Mulkerrins spent much of her life carrying pain she couldn't quite see. Pain that shaped her relationships, her body, and her sense of self in ways she didn't yet understand. What she learned through her own journey was this: the hardest part isn't the pain. It's believing your story is worth telling.
As a co-founder and program director, Róisín has sat with countless women who could name every wound but still couldn't believe their experience deserved a witness. That is what Aurora refuses to accept.
Co-Founder & Program Director
This center exists to break the cycle of shame that keeps women silent, and to be the kind of space where any woman who is ready can finally come back to herself.
A Letter to the Women Who Will Walk Through Our Doors
Meet the Team
Behind Aurora is a team of women who understand this work on more than just a professional level.
This is a space built by people who listen deeply, show up fully, and care about the person in front of them. Not just the outcome.
Because who you heal with matters just as much as how you heal.
