Chapel Hill Homebirth Doula Support
Compassionate & Experienced Care
I take a holistic approach to my work and value the complexity of the layers that affect our well-being.
My practice is inclusive of the body, mind, and emotions. I approach each family with the awareness that we are shaped by our past experiences, families of origin, and our environment. Through this lens, I am able to better understand the influences and unique needs of a family throughout the childbearing year. I believe in the importance of creating physical, mental, emotional & spiritual safety for all birthing bodies. I appreciate and serve the unique individual lived experience of birthing folks, including but not limited to, religion, race, gender & sexual orientation.
I offer support in all birth settings both virtually and in person. I am particularly passionate about community birth. I also offer consultations for those who can not afford a full support package or are seeking guidance with specific aspects of their birth or postpartum journey. My pricing reflects my experience, expertise, and trainings. I have created options to appeal to a variety of price points and income levels. My digital products provide access to the educational material & resources for those who are unable to afford personalized care. If you lack financial resources to access the support you hope for during your birth and postpartum, I will help connect you with resources and assistance within our community.
I am deeply connected to the Homebirth Community in NC. I offer a community circle for homebirth families to explore, learn & share resources and experiences. I also offer a Motherhood Journey Circle every other month for connection and support throughout the childbearing years. Please visit my Community page to learn more and sign up for these events. These circles are my gift to the birth community.

“WE HAD AN EXCEPTIONAL EXPERIENCE WITH GABE, AND WE CAN'T THANK HER ENOUGH FOR THE SUPPORT SHE GAVE TO US, BOTH PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY, DURING OUR DAUGHTER'S BIRTH…SHE BROUGHT AN UPLIFTING AND OPTIMISTIC SPIRIT TO THE WHOLE ROOM, WORKED VERY WELL WITH THE MIDWIVES AND NURSES, AND EVEN BROUGHT A LOT OF CONFIDENCE AND COMFORT TO OUR FAMILY MEMBERS WHO WERE IN THE WAITING ROOM FOR A LONG TIME. GABE WAS VERY SENSITIVE AND ATTUNED TO OUR FEELINGS, AND WHAT WE NEEDED AT CERTAIN TIMES, AND DURING PARTICULAR CHALLENGES. WE ENDED UP HAVING SUCH A SPECIAL BIRTH EXPERIENCE, AND IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT GABE!”
