I offer a unique and personalized postpartum doula service, thoughtfully tailored to the individual needs of each family. My support includes breastfeeding and bottle-feeding guidance, education on safe sleep practices and babywearing, and gentle tips to help babies settle and sleep more peacefully at night. Beyond practical care, I provide emotional support for mothers, creating a safe and nurturing space where they feel heard, supported, and cared for during the postpartum period. My goal is to help families feel confident, rested, and supported as they navigate the early weeks with their newborn.
We’ve been so lucky to have Gabi as our newborn doula, providing both day and night support since our daughter was six weeks old. From the start, Gabi has been incredibly thoughtful, knowledgeable, and caring - not just with our daughter but with our whole family as we’ve adjusted to life with a new baby. She brings such confidence, warmth, and positive energy to every visit, and it’s clear how passionate she is about supporting families during this special (and overwhelming!) time. Gabi has also been a wonderful resource, connecting us with others in the doula community and helping us feel supported in so many ways. We’re truly grateful we found her and cannot recommend her highly enough. Any family would be lucky to work with her and have her in their baby’s life!

Having Gabriela as our night doula after our son was born was an absolute gift. From the very first night, she brought such a calm, confident presence into our home. She was incredible with our newborn - gentle, loving, and completely attentive to his needs. But what really stood out was how supportive she was of me as a mom. She offered thoughtful guidance without ever making me feel judged, reassured me on the hard nights, and gave me the rest I so desperately needed to heal and be present for my family during the day. Gabriela has a way of making you feel instantly at ease. I trusted her completely with our son, and her knowledge and kindness made this postpartum period so much smoother than I imagined possible. Thanks to her, I was able to recover, bond with my baby, and actually enjoy those early weeks instead of just surviving them. I can’t recommend her enough - she was truly a lifesaver for our whole family.

We had the pleasure of having Gabriela as our postpartum doula for six weeks after the birth of our son, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. During the challenging time after delivery, Gabriela provided us with much-needed support and allowed us to get some precious rest. She took wonderful care of our newborn, and we always felt confident and comfortable with her handling of the baby. Thanks to Gabriela’s sleep training expertise, our son settled into a great sleep schedule within those six weeks, and we have been able to maintain that routine ever since. Even on difficult nights when our baby experienced colic and cried more than usual, Gabriela handled the baby calmly and soothed him to sleep. We are so grateful for the excellent care Gabriela provided and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking postpartum support.

Choosing Gabriela as my doula for my second delivery was one of the best decisions I've ever made. After a traumatic first birth, despite being healthy and low-risk, I was hesitant about having another child. Gabi was a true godsend throughout this journey. She didn't just support me physically, but emotionally and mentally as well. Gabi commitment was evident from our first meeting. She took the time to understand my fears and desires, offering support and validation. Her expertise in newborns and her ability to guide me through informed decision-making empowered me to feel confident in my choices.

We hired Gabi for our daughter's overnight care back in July when our daughter was a little over a month old up until 4 months. Gabi would start her shift at 10:00pm and leave at 7:00am the following morning and would help us with: changing our daughter, feeding and soothing her back to sleep if she woke up (rarely did this happen). Gabi was always very prompt, she would send summaries the following morning of the night before and mostly clarified all of our instructions for our daughter's care. Gabi was very crucial during this adjustment period and I am not sure I would be in the great head space (6 months later) I am now if it wasn't for her. My only regret would be that we didn't bring her in sooner because that first month was so difficult with all the adjustments and personal postpartum care. I highly reccomend Gabi's services.

My family and I feel incredibly fortunate to have found Gabby! She was not only responsible and professional but also an exceptional night nurse. With three children, we've had the experience of working with different night nurses for each of them, and Gabby was, without question, our favorite and the only one I would recommend. Her care and expertise made a world of difference for us during the difficult postpartum period. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of top-notch support for their family. She is also a wonderful person!

Gabriela was so amazing to work with! She is kind, thoughtful, and so sweet with our baby. She is incredibly helpful with not only caring for the baby, but also helping with household tasks when the baby was napping or I was breastfeeding. I can't recommend her enough!
