About Me
Hi, I’m Gabrielle — a birth and postpartum doula, homeschooling mom, animal lover, and passionate advocate for families navigating pregnancy, birth, and the fourth trimester.
My journey into doula work began after the birth of my second child, when I realized just how much of a difference real support can make. That experience lit a fire in me to be the kind of resource and steady presence I wish I had — and now I get to do that for others.
I was born and raised near Los Angeles, spent time in Texas helping open the first In-N-Out Burger locations in San Antonio, and eventually returned to California. But Texas called me back, and my family and I are now happily settled here again. I’m married with two kids, and we share our home with a lively mix of dogs, cats, chickens, and frequent foster animals from our local shelter. We even spent two years traveling the country full-time in an RV, exploring 12 states — and the wanderlust never really left.
In addition to doula work, I’m pursuing a career in nursing, and I hold a bachelor’s degree. I homeschool my children and, when I find a quiet moment, I love to explore nature, travel, binge a good TV show, or unwind with music.
As your doula, my goal is to help you feel informed, supported, and truly seen — whether you’re giving birth, recovering postpartum, or figuring out life with a newborn. You deserve a calm, knowledgeable presence in your corner, and I’d be honored to be part of your journey.

A birth doula provides continuous emotional, physical, and informational support before, during, and shortly after childbirth. My role is to help you feel confident, informed, and cared for — no matter how or where you give birth.
During labor, I offer comfort measures like massage, position changes, breathing techniques, and calming reassurance. I also help you understand your options, ask questions, and advocate for your preferences. I don’t perform any medical tasks — my focus is on your experience, your comfort, and your support.
Think of me as a steady, knowledgeable presence in the room, there to help you feel heard, respected, and never alone.

Postpartum doula care is all about supporting you and your family as you adjust to life with a new baby. Every family’s needs are different, but support often includes newborn care, feeding guidance, emotional support, light housekeeping, sibling care, and giving parents time to rest or shower.
Daytime shifts are a minimum of 6 hours and can include hands-on help with baby, answering questions, helping with routines, and supporting your recovery.
Overnight shifts are a minimum of 8 hours, typically from 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM. I care for your baby while you sleep, assist with overnight feeds, and help create a more restful night for everyone.
My goal is to lighten your load and help you feel more rested, confident, and supported in those early weeks.
Testimonials

"Truly blessed to have had Gabrielle as our postpartum doula! She was so attuned to my needs and when I couldn’t think of things I needed help with, she found things to help with. She was such a joy to be around, our whole family was happy to have her around during that precious time 🥺❤️"

"Gabrielle was my night doula for 8 weeks, and cannot say enough good things about her. Because of Gabrielle, my breastfeeding journey has been easy and enjoyable (l exclusively pumped with my first)! Not only does she have the knowledge and experience but she has instincts to help you successfully breastfeed. can honestly say that out of all the lactation consultants that I have seen in both my pregnancies, Gabrielle is the absolute best! Specifically, Gabrielle was able to help with positioning and latching, and she taught me how to use a haaka so that I could catch milk without having to pump. To date, I have not pumped, and yet, I have so much frozen milk thanks to Gabrielle's insight and assistance She is also just wonderful and a bright light to any household she joins. She supports you during this vulnerable time and really sets you up for success as a mom. I was very sad to say goodbye to Gabrielle, and I know that any family who welcomes her into their home will be in great hands."
