Traditional Birth, Pregnancy, and Postpartum Support
Your path to parenthood is YOURS. No one can tell you any different.
It is not my job to tell you how to do it, rather to encourage you to find your OWN answers.
Birth is a sacred Rite of Passage, as potent and powerful as any Hero's Journey.
This journey deserves respect, honor, and presence.
Long ago, when birth was a common occurance, seen and felt by every member of the Village, birth was honored as an initiation into a woman's power. It was celebrated with ritual and tradition.
Birth and parenthood will change you. This change requires great courage and deserves to be celebrated!
I humbly offer my guidance on your path to Birth Sovereignty, Radical Empowerment, and Womb Wisdom.

My years of serving women and birth have taught me that birth is not to be feared or managed. That birth actually functions most optimally when left undisturbed, when the Mother is able to birth according to her own pace. This is why I felt confident in my decision to have a freebirth, at home, with only my husband by my side. After experiencing the raw and primal power of birth on my own terms, I am even more fiercely passionate about supporting women in their choice to do the same.
I will never judge a woman for whatever choices she makes as a mother. After experiencing the excruciating intensity of childbirth unmedicated, I now know why so many women choose to take drugs, or choose to go to the hospital. It is the most intense thing a woman can feel, and not everyone feels ready to do it alone. I understand the fear of pain, and have great compassion for those who ask for help. I am not interested in making women feel inadequate for their decisions in birth. What I am interested in is serving those who are ready to make decisions for their births and their lives, on their own terms. I am interested in questioning the assumption that just because birth is hard, that that means women are incapable of doing it. I am deeply passionate about healing those stories of fear and doubt that stop so many women from trusting in birth and in themselves. I believe Birth doesn't happen to us, but rather it happens through us. It is through our brilliant bodies that all of humanity has been born. This power has been forgotten and denied, and it is time to remember it once more. |

"I am so happy I asked Gabriella to be my doula. From our very first meeting, she listened to my needs and concerns and I felt seen and supported and LOVED by her. I felt like my baby and I were her first priority too! She is very knowledgeable and was quick to answer my questions any time of day to get me the resources I needed throughout my pregnancy. She also helped me and my husband craft the birth plan we both desired. During my labor she held sacred space for me at the hospital, and though my goal was to have a fully natural birth, she did not judge me for getting an epidural or changing my birth plan. She gave constant love and support! She was an anchor for both my husband and I. She lent me so much strength and courage when I thought I couldn't do it anymore! She went above and beyond for us and I am honored to know her! She has so much love and wisdom to share with mamas! I highly recommend Gabriella and her doula services! She is magick!" Marissa

Placenta MedicineMany have found that injesting one's placenta in Postpartum had greatly reduced their experience of Postpartum Depression as well as Hemmorhage. Many have also found it also elevated their mood and energy levels, as placenta offers a strong dose of Iron and Stem Cells. I offer Encapsulations, Tinctures, Burial Ceremonies, and Prints. |
Birth Mentoring + Childbirth EducationAs a Mentor, I guide parents through weeks of Childbirthing Classes to awaken their innate strengths, resources, and wisdom that will be their tools as they go forth into Parenthood. I offer group classes online as well as one-on-one coaching for those who are interested in claiming total authority over their births.

Mother Blessing CeremoniesMotherhood is a Sacred Rite of Passage, one worthy of honor and respect. One way of celebrating your Pregnancy journey is by gathering all your closest friends, sisters, relatives to elevate you into the role of Mother. Ritualizing the passage into Motherhood is an ancient and cross-cultural tradition that is just as healing as it is fun!

The health of our World is directly reflected in how we treat those most deserving of respect and praise. The World will heal once Mothers are elevated into their rightful place of power: as the life-givers, as the Center of all Culture and Life. As soon as Woman's innate authority over Birth is reinstated, the World will be nourished, from conception onward. The health and wellbeing of our future lies in how we respect the first and most transformational experience we all have in common: Birth. Our fate truly lies in the hands - and wombs - of those who are caring for our future generations.
