Hi, I’m Gabriella! I’m a Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula, a student of herbalism and aromatherapy, and an advocate for moms and growing families. I’m based in Dandridge and offer hands-on labor and postpartum care across the Knoxville and East Tennessee area, as well as virtual doula support for families across the country. So far, I’ve had the honor of supporting clients across 22 states (including TN, VA, KY, NC, SC, GA, FL, NY, NJ, PA, OH, MO, OK, TX, LA, MS, MD, AZ, CA, MT, WV, and beyond), and I’m working toward my personal goal of serving families in all 50! I believe in care that blends real, evidence-based preparation with natural wellness and emotional grounding. Whether you’re aiming for an unmedicated physiological birth, planning a hospital delivery, navigating a high-risk pregnancy, or preparing for a VBAC or cesarean, my job is to make sure you never feel alone or in the dark. Birth can be unpredictable, and if things shift or move fast, I’m there to keep the room calm, steady, and focused on you. Along with doula support, I offer birth photography, placenta encapsulation, and postpartum care. I also offer payment plans so professional support is actually accessible. When I’m not at a birth, I love reading, mentoring newer doulas, and hanging out with my family, my dogs, and my 3 guinea pigs.

Gabriella definitely helped me in more ways than 1. Throughout my pregnancy she consistently answered questions, taught me things I didn’t even think I needed but ultimately prepared me for so much and gave passionate care. She’s got an amazing gift for this. I thank God for that girl. 💞

When we found out we were expecting triplets we knew we would need a lot of support and advice to navigate that journey— we were so lucky to find Chella and have her by our side for the end of my pregnancy and bringing our triplets home. She’s a fierce advocate, a wonderful, funny presence, and a top-notch organizer! She would be an asset to any family but especially families facing an uphill climb during their immediate postpartum— those with medically complex babies or multiples. Her ability to be calm and methodical when facing a challenge is priceless.

August 2026

After a 14-year gap between my last baby and Declan, I quickly realized just how much I had forgotten about pregnancy and birth. So much of the biology, the stages of labor, and even knowing what to expect felt brand new again. Having Gabby there to educate me throughout my pregnancy was exactly what I needed. She was knowledgeable without ever being overwhelming, and always so loving, gentle, and patient with me. One of the things that made Gabby so special was the way she made me feel capable. She didn’t just tell me what was happening or what to do—she helped me understand my body and trust it. When it came time to have Declan, I chose to give birth completely naturally. Even though Gabby was my virtual doula, having her on the phone during my labor ended up being one of the most valuable parts of my birth experience. When things got intense, she was a calm voice on the other end of the phone, coaching me through it and helping me stay focused. She was also there for my husband. She guided him on how to help me, what I needed from him, and how he could be an active part of supporting me through labor. Instead of the two of us trying to figure everything out in the middle of such an intense moment, we had Gabby there guiding us through it together. I am incredibly proud that I was able to have the natural birth I wanted, and Gabby will always be part of that memory for me. Gabby, thank you for being such a loving and gentle presence during such an important chapter of our lives. Declan’s birth is a memory I will carry with me forever, and I’m so grateful that you are part of his story. ❤️
