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!

If you welcome me into your birth space I hold this responsibility close to my heart. I am deeply passionate about supporting you in trusting your body, knowing your rights, and protecting the sacredness of your birth! I can't wait to meet you!! The women + people I work with are looking for a doula who is… Collaborative, heart-centered, and authentic - While being evidence-based, flexible, and rooted in supporting intuitive, body-led birth I consider myself a birth nerd, and mental health advocate. I also have deep trust in the human body's ability to birth.

Michelle was an incredible source of strength during one of the most vulnerable moments of my life. My labor didn’t go the way the birth plan we created and at times I felt overwhelmed and unheard by the doctors Michelle made sure I never felt invisible. She truly listened to me advocated for me, and helped me feel seen and understood when I needed it most. Even when things became difficult and unpredictable, she kept me grounded with her calm presence and reassurance. Having my doulas by my side made all the difference they supported me with so much compassion and care that it felt like having family in the room. I’m so grateful I got to work with them and I would want them by my side for every birth because of the love, strength, and comfort they brought to my experience. ?? Truly even after my emergency C-section having doulas was one of the best choices I've made.

Adisela McNamara

Hey y’all! My name is Adisela, I’m a mom of three boys, a Full-Spectrum Doula, an Infant Microbiome Instructor & an Evidence Based Birth® Instructor located in Orlando, FL. My passion for birth work began when I was just 5 years old, at the birth of my first sibling. Since then, I have been fascinated with all things birth, postpartum and everything in between. I am always learning something new and enrolled in some course that pertains to birth, postpartum, holistic healing and parenting. My practice is an unbiased, evidence-based and holistic hub of love, resources and education. I meet you where you need support the most, focusing on your whole being. However you birth, whatever answers and knowledge you seek, you will always be met with warm, open arms.

Adisela is the most supportive and soothing doulas you can find in the Orlando area. She truly loves what she does and you can feel her care and compassion as soon as you meet her. I met her through Central Florida Birth Network. She is knowledgeable, professional, passionate about caring for families and babies, and the most warm and loving people you can ever meet. I absolutely recommend her postpartum doula services. You will feel relaxed, uplifted, loved, and empowered. Having Adisela in your home makes all the difference. Postpartum is a time for moms to heal, to rest, and focus on caring for themselves and their baby. Adisela comes in and makes your home an oasis of calm, tends to your needs, nurturers you with homemade warm soothing soups, and helps you heal. She is a lifesaver.
