Could not have went through labor/delivery and early postpartum days without gab. As a FTM going through a journey i didn’t know anything about having gab by my side made me calmer,more informed and eased my anxiety. She walked me through birth plans, dealing with the contractions, helped me latch babygirl from the moment she was out. Between the post partum massage/belly binding, just teaching me how to wrap my baby, how to properly feed her, and coming over just to talk through my post partum feelings, I truly could not have done this without her!!

We had such a wonderful experience with Gabrielle as our night doula! She was incredibly kind, warm, and caring, and immediately made me feel completely comfortable knowing my newborn was in such good hands overnight. Having someone I trusted caring for my baby allowed me to actually sleep and recover, which was truly invaluable during those first few days. Gabrielle took such great care of our little one throughout the night—feeding her, changing her, soothing her, and making sure she was comfortable. She also kept a detailed tracker of all of her feedings, wet and dirty diapers, and everything that happened overnight, so I always knew exactly how the night went when I woke up. Most importantly, I always felt that my baby was safe, loved, and genuinely cared for with Gabrielle. She gave me so much peace of mind during such a special and vulnerable time, and I’m incredibly grateful we had her. I would absolutely recommend Gabrielle to any new mom looking for some extra support and much-needed rest!

We were incredibly blessed to have Gabby care for our daughter for 18+ months, and she quickly became a special part of our family. As a postpartum doula, Gabby brought such a unique perspective to caring for our daughter. She naturally incorporated many of her Ayurvedic principles into her care, creating a calm and nurturing environment for her. She was incredibly loving, patient, and attentive, and always cared for our daughter with so much warmth. It was amazing how naturally aligned she was with our parenting philosophy. We trusted her completely, knowing that she would respect the way we wanted to raise our daughter while also bringing her own knowledge and experience to our family. She cared for our daughter as if she were her own, and the bond they formed was incredibly special. Her presence brought so much peace and support into our home during an important season of our lives. We will always be grateful for the love and care she gave our daughter and for the blessing she was to our entire family.

Frequently asked questions

Do you offer virtual consultations?

Yes! I offer a virtual postpartum package that allows you to be able to get whatever information you may need to help you during your journey.

Are your packages cutomizable?

Of course. The packages that I offer may not be exactly what you need, but we can work together to tailor what you need since I do offer an hourly rate.

How does a consultation work?

When we get together whether via Zoom or in person, this is the time to ask me any questions you have about what I do, and what I offer. I don't put a timeline on these because I don't feel that aligns with the work I do. Typically, they last about 20 minutes but again, there's no clock that I am monitoring. I like to get to know you, and for you to get to know me so we can see if we are a good fit. From there, if you choose to hire me, we then proceed with paperwork, packages and logistics.
