About me

As a mother of two I am in love with the world of birth and babies. One of my favorite things in the world is helping introduce new life into this world and helping families adjust to their newborn. I am a certified birth and postpartum doula, and have training in lactation specialization. I hope my role in your birth/postpartum is something you're excited for and I can be someone to lean on in this incredibly emotional and exciting time. I hope that if you were to select me or not, you have a fulfilling and safe birth and your little addition to your family has a healthy debut.

Gabby was my postpartum doula and by far was the best provider who fulfilled needs I didn’t even know I had at the time. With compassion and genuine empathy and support, Gabby was able to foresee and recommend solutions to prioritize my self-care and wellness and also my daughter’s care. I felt affirmed, validated, reassured and empowered every interaction. Gabby is knowledgeable and communicates professionally and thoughtfully. Gabby is one of the few I trust to provide attentive and nurturing care for my daughter, born 2 months premature. Gabby’s presence is meaningful and my trust in her truly speaks volumes for her attention to detail and respect for individual women and their families. I highly recommend Gabby, and I often recommend her to my friends and family, even colleagues, because of the life-changing and empowering experience with her by my side through it ALL!

I have had the opportunity to work with Gabby in a couple different ways. The first being for my postpartum experience. During my pregnancy, she asked about my family's favorites meals and then created a curated grocery list and meals to prep and freeze. Not only were the meals nutritionally dense and nourishing, but they were incredibly delicious! It was so incredibly helpful to have an assortment of prepared meals that my family and I could enjoy after welcoming our third baby. My second opportunity to work with Gabby has been in the sense of physically working alongside her. As a birth photographer, I have been able to work alongside Gabby at multiple births. It is amazing to watch her support mamas and be an incredible advocate for them while providing such nurturing and loving care. Gabby has a servant's heart and that is so apparent. She treats everyone with such love and respect, has a wealth of knowledge, and her communication is top tier. I would highly recommend Gabby for all your birth keeper/doula needs. She is one in a million, truly!
