About Gina

Hi, I’m Gina a holistic birth doula and lactation specialist serving families in the Nashville area. With over 12 years of experience in lactation support, I am a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist (CBS), Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC), and currently pursuing my IBCLC credential. I support families with evidence-based education, hands-on comfort measures, partner coaching, and personalized feeding guidance rooted in compassion and cultural awareness. I am also a mother of five, including a set of twins, and have personally experienced unmedicated birth, cesarean birth, and VBAC. I breastfed all of my children, which allows me to blend lived experience with professional expertise. I believe birth is sacred and transformative, and my role is to protect your peace, strengthen your voice, and help you feel confident and deeply supported from pregnancy through postpartum.

I met Gina TWO weeks before my due date, but she managed to make me feel like she had been there my entire pregnancy. Gina made sure I knew I had options and a CHOICE. My milk didn't come in until 8 days later, which was a true struggle for me mentally. Gina was there every step on the way- teaching me and encouraging me. I am now 3months pp and I use Gina as my google search engine for all things breastfeeding/breastmilk related. Lol. Gina is kind, patient, professional, calm, incredibly knowledgeable, and a true advocate to have in your corner. I would have given up on my breastfeeding journey if it had not been for her! I can't thank her enough for everything she has done and does for me. Gina is someone you need in your corner.

Amazzzzzinnngggg! She taught me how to breast feed when I was having difficulty with latching, along with many other things. Over the years she has become a person I can always call and friend.

Gina has become part of the family at this point. She is very informative and takes her time with you, even when she's busy. She makes sure you are well informed as much as possible from pregnancy to postpartum and in between, but doesn't pressure you to just listen to whatever she says. She lets you make your own decisions and is super supportive. She's very respectful and resourceful. It feels like she knows just about everyone in Nashville which is a good thing because she can refer you to someone for just about anything. You can trust her recommendations on things and people because she's going to ask questions no matter who they are or what they do to make sure they are up to par for her mom's. I'm so glad I've met her and am glad to have her in my life.
