TESTIMONIALS
“Gaibi was a great emotional support to me through my pregnancy and the post-natal phase. I always felt empowered and empathized with whenever we talked. She was not only a great doula but became a good friend. She cared not only for me but for the needs of my family and understood how giving birth changes dynamics in marriage and with other siblings. I couldn’t recommend her enough. I’m so glad she was present for the birth of my second child as well as a support before and after.”

“Gaibi is calm and relaxed and very confident in her abilities as a prenatal yoga teacher. I never felt like she was having me do anything that I couldn’t handle. She was always encouraging and helped with positions if you were struggling. I always left there feeling better mentally and physically! I would have loved to have her as a doula, but she had to move before I was due. I would highly recommend Gaibi for any services involving pregnant women and babies! Her confidence, knowledge, and gentleness shows in everything she does!”

“When I learned that I would have to have a hospital birth with my first child, I wanted someone there, in addition to my husband, who knew the journey of labor and could guide me with a calm hand. Gaibi was truly a gift throughout the entire process. She met with us several weeks before our baby arrived and answered all of our questions. I always felt at ease and empowered after our meetings, instead of fearful and uncertain like so many women I know.
Gaibi came to the hospital with her magic kit. She communicated with nurses, brought cool towels, encouraged me, and found the birthing stool that helped me through the last few pushes. Just when I would think I couldn’t face another contraction, she would rub me with lavender oil or help me find a pitch in my voice that would get me through it.
Gaibi empowered me to believe in myself and have a beautiful and fulfilling experience in welcoming my first child into the world. I couldn’t have done it without you!”

“The experience I had with Gabrielle at my birth was simply amazing. I can’t say enough good things about her! She was present at the birth of my second daughter and the difference it made compared to my first daughter’s birth was incredible. I wish she had been there for my first birth! She was so loving, thoughtful and supportive. She remained so calm and relaxed through the entire birth. At one point my midwife told me that the baby’s heart rate wasn’t regular and that it might warrant a transfer to the hospital, Gabrielle suggested I get on my hands and knees to see if it would change anything. To the surprise of my midwife, it worked and I didn’t have to transfer! I got my wish of having my daughter in the birth center and I give all the credit to Gabrielle for that wish coming true! The very last thing I wanted was another hospital birth, and without her, I’m pretty sure I would have had one.
Gabrielle has the sweetest Momma energy about her. She made sure I was staying hydrated, rubbed my back and built my confidence when I felt like I couldn’t push through anymore. She was also an awesome support to my husband, which meant a lot to both of us. She was not only there for us at the birth but before and after the birth too. I honestly don’t know what we would have done without her!
Gabrielle is an amazing person, momma, and doula, if I ever have another baby, I would have her attend the birth again in a heartbeat! My experience with her meant so much to me, it will forever be a treasured memory!
Thank you so much, Gabrielle!”

“Gabrielle was amazing at our second child’s birth. I cannot believe the difference it made to have a Doula present at birth. We were not able to have a Doula with us at the birth of our first child, and it made a big difference the second time around. The emotional support that both my wife and I received at the birth was such a blessing. We were having our birth at a birthing Center with our midwife, and at one point during labor, my wife almost had to go to the hospital. Gabrielle suggested my wife get on her hands and knees, and the issue resolved itself. As a result, we were able to have the baby at the birthing center. She was very knowledgeable and compassionate, and you could feel that she really loved and appreciated being part of such a transformational experience in our life. We had to go to the hospital to have the placenta removed, and Gabrielle met us at the hospital to make sure we were okay and see if we needed anything or any help with the baby. I am very happy and grateful that we had such a positive experience with Gaibi as our Doula, and if we ever have another child, I would definitely want her to be our Doula again!”
