I am here for you. My role is to listen, support and nurture. There is no expectation, just honouring of this beautiful space, this deep transition into parenthood. 

Although an advocate for physiological and home births, I am able to support any birth choice. My role is to listen to your needs and support you so that you can feel empowered in your choices. I can signpost to up to date research so that you can make informed decisions, and I can provide continuation of care through all eventualities.

I offer a minimun of three 2 hour pre-natal sessions. In these we will explore your own birth stories and talk through your expectations, needs and wishes. We will go deeply into the physiology of birth and go through all medical offerings and interventions. I talk through natural and medical pain management and can go over your birth plan with you to help you prepare for your birth, and arrival of your baby(ies).

I believe strongly in the 4th trimester. This is the time after birth where bonding of baby happens. I offer a minimum of 2 postnatal visits in the three weeks following birth. Here I provide homemade food and debriefing of the birthing experience. I offer natural first aid remedies for physical or emotional ailments. If support is needed after these three weeks, I can signpost to postnatal doulas. 

Please do contact me for a free 30 minute informal chat, to see if it feels good to work together.

This is your story, your journey, your rite of passage. I am here for you.

"Gabrielle's energy throughout the lead-up to the birth, the birth itself and afterwards, made me feel held, safe and supported. From the very beginning, she encouraged me to listen to my instincts and guided me to continually 'check-in' with how I was feeling as I transitioned into motherhood. She was very empathetic without imposing any of her own opinions or judgements about how birth should be. She brought kindness and warmth every time we met with her which made me feel safe and trusting of her right from the very first meeting." Tayana 

"Gabrielle is a warm, empathic and calming doula, she has a natural maternal instinct and a grounding presence. She is unconditionally accepting of you and your choices and supports you to make informed decisions with her wealth of knowledge, personal experience and open-minded approach. Her congruence, kindness and unconditional positive regard supports you every step of the way on the birthing journey and beyond. She has an ability to provide support that incorporated the mind, body and soul in a way that felt addressed specific needs and was delivered with authenticity and heart." Catherine
