Hello, my name is Gabi and I am certified labor and postpartum doula. For as long as I can remember I have always had such an interest in labor, the birthing process and the postpartum period. I have always been fascinated with the transformation of a woman's body throughout pregnancy and the strength it takes to bring a baby into this world. After having my first daughter I developed a much deeper appreciation for birth. Instantly I knew that my passion lies with helping women navigate this crazy, emotional and beautiful time called pregnancy, labor and postpartum. I want to make not only the woman, but the birthing family feel educated, supported and prepared for whatever birth plan you choose to have. My goal is for you to look back and think "wow, that was a great birth and a great experience." If I learned one thing during my own postpartum period, it is that it truly takes a village!
Now a little bit more about myself! My husband and I met in high school and have been together since. We have two beautiful daughters and two rescue dogs who are both black lab mixes. In my spare time I thoroughly enjoy baking, eating and spending quality time with my family. As a former swimmer and water polo player, I always make sure to have time for my weekly swims!
