Gadria Kalinowski - Birth & Postpartum Doula

About Gadria

Hi there, my name is Gadria (Gah-dree-ah)! I am a Birth & Postpartum Doula and a Certified Lactation Educator (CLE). I am also proud to be a Social Worker with an LMSW. There has always been a fascination for me around familial composition, while also strongly speaking up for how genetics are not the only factor that defines what family can be. By providing supportive, knowledgeable, and empathetic care, I strive to help you feel empowered as you recognize the capabilities of yourself, both physically and emotionally. My intentions lie in helping you access power, love, and serenity within your birth journey.

What to expect

I am a Social Worker and Doula who believes the entire perinatal period deserves attention, care, and love. My role as a birth doula allows me to build rapport with the families I work with so that when baby is ready to join us in this world, there is true comfort and familiarity! As a postpartum doula, I can give mothers, birthing folks, and their families attention that tends to be pushed aside in our society. If lactation training opened up MY eyes to how extraordinary feedings can be, I certainly want to share such knowledge with others too.
