About me

Hello! I’m Gabrielle. A little bit about me and what sets me apart: I am an Ayurvedic birth and postpartum doula, an Holistic Pregnancy and Birth Practitioner (HPBP), and I am in my final year of a Master of Science degree in Integrative Medicine and Ayurveda Health. And, aside from all of that, I have been a career nanny for over a decade with experience working with moms and postpartum. My knowledge of this ancient wisdom of Ayurveda allows me to bring a unique approach to your postpartum by focusing on nourishment, healing, rest, + bonding. My focus is to hold you so you can hold your baby. As we enter into this sacred journey together, know that my intention during every stage is done with the utmost reverence and respect for the art of bringing new life into the world, and I am merely a bystander in your new journey to motherhood. I am so looking forward to serving you.

My focus is on. rest and recovery with a focus on the first 40 days after birth.

Gabrielle is an absolute star! My husband and I met her when I was about 5 or 6 months pregnant and stayed in touch and close until the birth of our baby girl. We’d settled on a postpartum care package which quickly began to involve overnight support and general help / care for our newborn. It was clear from the moment we met Gabrielle that her sound judgment, introspection, and thoughtfulness as a human being made up the essence of her work. Frankly, we wanted no one else around helping us and being around our new little addition to the family. Our trust in her was immense from the get go. Gabrielle is warm, generous, wise beyond her years, and always there to respect and communicate through a parent’s journey. She is honest and prizes true matches with families - like us, she is all about connecting on a deeper level. Gabrielle believes deeply in the positive of fostering positive and nurturing energy - she has a true commitment to her passion of supporting families in the greatest of life’s adventures! We have come to greatly prize her authenticity, reliability and genuine love of children (in this case, our little baby girl!). We hope this is only the beginning of years of collaboration and work with Gabrielle!

Gabrielle provided me with support during labor, delivery, and post-delivery and I am so grateful to have had her knowledgeable and compassionate presence throughout what ended up being a very long labor and an unexpected emergency c-section. Gabrielle is a strong advocate, has a calming presence, and really helped my husband and I navigate our first birth. She provided us with useful tips to manage labor pains, came to our home stocked with supplies and took the time to be with us during some of the toughest hours, and made sure to prioritize my birth wishes. I highly recommend retaining Gabrielle, I’m really really glad I did!

I've had the joy to experience Gabrielle as my postpartum doula. She is kind, light hearted, adaptable, and a natural at what she does. Having someone near you and your family during this time is sacred and vulnerable, and Gabrielle meets this energy with grace. She kept me fed with nourishing postpartum treats, and teas as she healed my body with her incredible body work. I highly recommend her.

Great postpartum doula! Has a soothing aura around her and knows how to help mom navigate the early weeks of PP whether it’s your first or second etc child. The yummy foot bath and leg massage that she ran for me while I held my baby was one of the most relaxing moments of motherhood for me. Thanks Gab!
