About Gabriella

Hi! I'm Gabriella, and I’m passionate about supporting women and families through their fertility, pregnancy, labor, and motherhood journeys. My path to becoming a doula began in 2014 after my own empowering birth experience with my first child. Inspired, I became a certified childbirth educator through the Bradley Method of Natural Childbirth and discovered my deep passion for women’s health and well-being. Over the years, I’ve been privileged to support families in various ways—whether teaching childbirth education, offering lactation consulting, or even serving as a virtual doula in moments of need. My own birth experiences have shaped my practice. From a beautiful birth center delivery to navigating an unexpected emergency C-section, and finally achieving my VBAC home birth, I bring a wealth of personal and professional insight to my work. These experiences have fueled my commitment to empowering families with knowledge, confidence, and holistic care. At the end of 2023, I made the decision to leave my corporate career to pursue my dream full-time. I am currently trained through DONA International, a globally respected organization, and offer compassionate, intuitive support focused on mental, physical, and nutritional health. My approach is holistic and tailored to each family’s unique needs, ensuring that partners feel confident and supported throughout the journey. I am so excited to walk alongside you and help you achieve the birth experience you desire. Whether you’re preparing for your first baby or your fourth, I look forward to being part of your story!

The best thing I can say about Gabriella is she made me feel safe and supported throughout my pregnancy and labor and delivery. She carries a peace and calm that helped me look back on my birth experience as a peaceful and safe one. It was also such a comfort having her to be in contact with throughout the hours of early labor because I had no idea if I was truly in labor or not. Also importantly, she knows her stuff! She came along side me in support of my natural birth. I highly recommend getting Gabriella as your birth doula 💕😊 She was a blessing, and were honored that she will forever be apart of our birth experience!

Gabi tailored a birth class specifically to my husband and me. She came to our house armed with helpful packets of information, and she took time to listen to our concerns, responding with gentleness and wisdom. We felt so much more prepared after our time with her. Thank you, Gabi!

Gabriella did an amazing job guiding us through our birth journey. Having her with us during the birth was an absolute blessing, especially in what was the most emotionally taxing experience of our lives. She has a true passion for supporting and coaching couples and mamas through their birth journey, and her calm presence and guidance made all the difference. She’ll be our doula for our future kids.
