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 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.

I’m also certified in infant, child, and adult CPR and First Aid, so you can feel confident that safety and preparedness are always part of my care. In addition, I hold a bachelor’s degree and am currently continuing my education to become a Registered Nurse.

  • I work in San Antonio and surrounding areas. I do charge a small travel fee for postpartum shifts if more than 20 miles from zip code 78250.

  • Yes, I am certified to work with employer benefits and have in the past.

  • Yes! I’m happy to offer payment plans to help make doula support more accessible. A deposit is required to reserve your spot, and the remaining balance can be split into scheduled payments.

  • 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

  • Gabrielle is wonderful. Got a quick initial response from her with a short notice request. She’s calming, supportive, encouraging, a great resource and advocate, and a lovely person. Couldn’t imagine my birthing experience without her there. Thanks, Gabrielle!

    Moriah A.

  • "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 🥺❤️"

    Claudia M.

  • Gabrielle graciously stepped in as my doula last-minute, after my original doula was no longer able to attend my birth, so we never met until I was in labor. From the instant we spoke on the phone, though, I knew I could trust her to be an amazing support in my birth! She was such a helpful, calm presence at home and in the hospital, and has so much knowledge about techniques to progress labor as well as manage pain. She always prioritized my personal goals and feelings during labor, as well as respecting my husband’s presence as my primary support person. Thanks to her I was able to have the natural birth I wanted, feeling supported all the way. Thank you Gabrielle!! ❤️

  • The BEST!! We hired Gabrielle as a postpartum doula, specifically to help ease the transition with 4 older siblings at home and she was AMAZING. She integrated herself into our home seamlessly, stepped right in to helping with my other kids as if she’d known them their whole lives. Made sure to take the baby so I could go rest and catch up on self care. She made sure my home was always tidied up before leaving for the day and always made sure I was fed and rest. I felt so well taken care of, I almost never had to ask her to do anything or to help in certain ways- she just knew. I would have 19 more kids if it meant Gabrielle would be there to support me postpartum after each one!! 100/10 experience

  • Amazing doula! Gabrielle was my labor and postpartum doula through Rooted Birth. She was so supportive and provided a lot of useful information throughout the whole journey.

  • "Gabrielle brought such a positive and grounding energy into the room. She was warm, professional, and deeply supportive throughout the experience. Her presence added another layer of comfort and strength to my birth team."

    Julie M.

  • "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."
