Hello families! My name is Gabriela McAuliffe, and I’m a certified Postpartum Doula passionate about helping parents feel calm, confident, and supported during the fourth trimester. I provide nurturing, non-judgmental care for both baby and parents, whether that means newborn soothing, light household support, or simply a listening ear during those big emotional shifts. I also offer breastfeeding support and guidance on safe sleep practices, helping families feel empowered with evidence-based information and gentle techniques that fit their unique needs. Originally from Brazil and now based in California, I speak English and Portuguese and love serving families of diverse cultures and backgrounds. My philosophy is rooted in compassion, respect for each family’s choices, and creating a peaceful environment that allows parents to rest, recover, and bond with their new little one.

Gabi was great! We did not have overnight postpartum support with our first baby, so we were not sure what to expect or how much of a difference it would make. Having Gabi with us proved to be immensely helpful and made those early weeks feel far more manageable. Communication with her was effortless, and we could always count on a prompt, thoughtful response. She was consistently punctual and dependable, which gave us one less thing to think about during a demanding time. She listened closely, remembered every detail, and adapted seamlessly to the way we wanted our baby cared for. Most importantly, she earned our trust pretty much immediately. Of everyone who helped us during the postpartum period, she was the person we felt most confident leaving our baby with. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had her support and recommend her with no hesitation.

Faith had truly become an extension of our family for the first 3 months of our daughter's life! We started working with Faith when our daughter was less than a week old, and from the beginning she brought such a calm, confident, and warm presence into our home during the chaotic time of early parenthood with a newborn. She is very trustworthy, prompt, and reliable. For my husband, she represented safety and stability as he knew our daughter was safe and we could have a good night's sleep. For me, she was also a trusted mentor into motherhood - both from her professional training and her experience of being a mother to 3 children. She helped me navigate breastfeeding/pumping and how much my baby was eating, she taught us how to calm an overtired crying newborn, hunger vs overtiredness cues, transitioning from a swaddle to a sleep sack, fussiness from vaccines, and more. After 3 months of working with Faith 5 nights per week, we felt like we were finally ready to 'graduate' from Faith and tackle parenthood ourselves as our daughter was easily sleeping 9+ hour stretches at night in her bassinet! I cannot overstate how grateful we are to Faith for her help and guidance with our daughter during those first 3 months - we would have been lost (and extremely sleep deprived) without her. I know she enabled me to be a better mother to my daughter during the days and to have time heal from birth. Faith will be one of our first calls if we have more children! We would love the opportunity to work with her again.

Morgan Gray

Packages from $500 · $35/hr

Hi there! My name is Morgan and I am a birth and postpartum doula in Sacramento, CA. I am currently working towards my Maternal Support Practitioner certification through Bebo Mia. I’ve always been fascinated by birth, but after experiencing an unplanned cesarean with my first son, then achieving a VBAC with my second son, my fascination transformed into a passion. Everyone’s birth is different and unpredictable. My dream, in the chaos and beauty of birth, is to make sure all birthers feel safe, supported, and nurtured, both during labor and in the postpartum period. Being there to support one of the most transformational and emotional moments of life is truly such an honor. As I’m working towards my certification and need a specific amount of hours/births attended in order to reach that goal, I’m more than happy to work with sliding scale. Currently, I am unable to accept insurance but hope to in the future! When I’m not absorbing everything I can about pregnancy, birth, and beyond, you can usually find me trying to sneak in a few chapters of a romantasy novel, playing monster trucks with my boys, or laughing with loved ones.

Morgan has been absolutely amazing for our family. As a postpartum mom, one of my biggest fears was returning to work and leaving my son, Cruz, in someone else’s care. Having Morgan has eased that transition more than I can express. She is loving, attentive, and genuinely caring. I have full confidence in her — she truly understands babies and what they need. Her knowledge, instincts, and calm presence give me complete peace of mind every day. Cruz absolutely adores her, and it’s clear she cares for him as if he were her own. Morgan is always on time (often even early), dependable, and consistently shows up with a positive attitude and a smile. Beyond caring for Cruz, she thoughtfully helps with tasks around the house, which has been such a blessing during this season of life. Postpartum can be a difficult and emotional time, especially adjusting to life as a mom of two. Morgan has supported me through this transition more than she probably realizes. We are so grateful to have her, and any family would be incredibly lucky to work with her.
