Gabi is truly amazing. I would recommend her to anyone looking for compassionate, knowledgeable, and wholehearted support. She’s incredibly skilled, but beyond that, she’s such a kind and calming presence to have in your home. She always knew what I needed before I even asked and made it possible for me to actually rest and recover without feeling stressed. I honestly don’t know what my postpartum experience would have looked like without her. I already told her I can’t wait to have my second baby so we can have her in our lives again!

Gabi was an absolutely amazing support for my husband and I when I had to be induced unexpectedly. We hadn’t had a chance to meet to discuss our birth plan yet, before we had to go into the hospital for an unplanned induction but she jumped right in and helped us when we needed her the most. She stayed with us through the entire process, from the very long induction to the unplanned c-section, explaining to us what was happening in a way that we could understand. as well as ensuring that I was comfortable with every single intervention and providing every possible support needed. She was everything and more for us! She is incredibly kind, easy to talk to and trust, and really cares about the families she works with. We highly recommend her to anyone who is considering additional support.

Como eu já disse a ela, é difícil agradecer quando as palavras são insuficientes. Gabi foi um anjo que a vida insistiu que fizesse parte da historia mais linda da minha vida, a realização de um sonho. Ela foi a 3* peça mais importante do meu parto, pois 2* foi meu marido e 1* meu filho, enquanto a equipe medica que me desculpe mas foram apenas figurantes. Hoje Gabi não é apenas a Doula que me ajudou no parto, é a tia de coração do meu filho e a amiga que ganhei com muito amor e carinho. 💜

She was wonderful, she helped me through every stage of my pregnancy, from birth to delivery, and after the birth of my second baby, I had a great birthing experience with her help. I highly recommend Gabi as a doula; she is very attentive, caring, and professional.

Our experience with Gabi as my birth doula was amazing! She helped us to get ready for our baby's arrival with science-based knowledge and tons of emotional support. Having her during labor was very important to me and brought another layer of much needed support. She is so caring and a true listener. I can't recommend her enough!

We are beyond grateful for the incredible support we received from our Birth Doula, Gabi. Her presence during our birth experience was exactly what we didn’t know we needed, calm, confident, and deeply reassuring. She held space for us with so much care and made us feel safe and supported through every moment of labor. If you're a first-time parent, you absolutely need Gabi in your life! She was a total game-changer for us. Gabi is so patient and really helped us figure out the best ways to handle everything, without ever making us feel like we didn't know what we were doing. Having her overnight as well was such a relief, especially since I was breastfeeding during the day. It made a huge difference to actually get some sleep. You can really tell she cares about making the postpartum period less overwhelming. Honestly, I don’t know how we would’ve made it through those first weeks without her. I can't recommend working with her enough.

Gabi is amazing at what she does, and we can’t recommend her enough! We've had the pleasure of working with Gabi for the birth of our first baby, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We were referred to her by a Brazilian friend, and from our very first meeting, we knew we were in great hands. Her support and guidance throughout the pregnancy made a huge difference! She provided thorough, thoughtful birth preparation and was always so attentive and knowledgeable. Our labor lasted 18 hours, and having Gabi by our side through it all was truly invaluable. Her calm presence helped me feel safe and supported every step of the way, and she really helped my husband stay calm and focused too. She brought so much reassurance and steadiness throughout the whole experience.

Gabi was a nanny to our daughter from the time she was 5 weeks old to just over 2. Being a first time mother navigating little sleep and the struggles of breast feeding- Gabi helped me with care and love. I hired Gabi to be our daughter’s nanny but she turned out to be such a help to me as well. She has such a calm, nurturing presence. I would recommend Gabi to anyone looking for a Doula.

We were introduced to Gabi through a friend who highly recommended her, and from the moment we met, we knew we were in good hands. Her warmth, enthusiasm, deep knowledge, and science-based approach immediately put us at ease. In the weeks leading up to our due date, we met with Gabi several times. Each visit left me feeling not just less anxious about giving birth—but genuinely excited. We decided to move forward with a 39-week induction, and Gabi was by our side through every step of our baby boy’s birth, supporting us through both the expected and the unexpected. Throughout labor and delivery, Gabi was my steady advocate. Whenever doctors or nurses presented options, I instinctively looked to Gabi to help translate the medical information in a clear, unbiased way. She always offered honest insight into the pros and cons, and I never once felt judged or pressured—only supported. After delivery, I experienced some complications, and Gabi went above and beyond by also comforting my mom in the waiting room—a gesture our family will never forget. If you’re looking for a doula who is compassionate, knowledgeable, nonjudgmental, and truly invested in your experience, we cannot recommend Gabi highly enough. We’re forever grateful she was by our side during one of the most important moments of our lives.

Gabi is an amazing doula! I'm a doula, and I worked with her in April 2023 when she and I supported the birth of her best friend. Having been to many births, it is obvious when someone just ~gets~ how to support someone, and Gabi has that magical energy. She's an amazing listener, extremely thoughtful, and able to put action behind her words. We attended a long birth together, and she was so other-regarding, peaceful, and emotionally available the entire time - truly the rock in the room when plans changed. Denver is lucky to have Gabi in the doula community, and I would be quick to recommend her to anyone looking for birth support. She is made for this work!

My pregnancy and birth were both extremely unpredictable. I never knew what the day or night was to bring! Gabi was my anchor through the entire experience. She was like the shade of a tree that you could lay under when things got to be "too much." I can't tell you how many times I felt like giving up or how many times I felt so lost and alone, and then I would turn and see a hand held out by Gabi. Words cannot express my gratitude for the work that she has done, and for the love that radiates from her being. This was my 3rd and final child, a boy. And a pregnancy I was so protective over, with a dream of finally having an all natural birth after having 2 previous cesareans. Though I may not have had the natural birth I desired, Gabi stood by me for 36 hours of tough labor, encouraging me every step of the way, and being the peace and comfort that was so necessary during the time of my deepest vulnerability and fear. There is no person in the entire world I would rather have by my side during such a life transforming journey, such that pregnancy and birth are. Simply said, Gabi is doing God's work and I couldn't be more grateful to her.

I cannot recommend Gabi at Mother Mãe Doula highly enough! She was an absolute lifesaver during the first eight weeks of my baby’s life, providing overnight care, lactation support, baby care guidance, and emotional coaching. Her presence made me feel so confident and supported as a new parent, and she reassured my husband and me that everything we were experiencing was completely normal. Gabi went above and beyond in so many ways—she did small but incredibly thoughtful things, like watering my plants when I completely forgot about them in the postpartum haze. She also meal-prepped for us, which was a huge help during those exhausting early days. On top of that, she was so flexible—when we struggled with our baby’s naps, she adjusted her schedule to come during the day and coach us through it. Having Gabi’s support truly changed my postpartum experience for the better. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any new parent looking for expert guidance, reassurance, and compassionate care!
