“Gabe is extremely warm, supportive, and down to earth-- just the sort of presence you need when things get intense (as they did for my crazy unmedicated 2-hour labor) The prenatal meetings with Gabe were highly informative and helpful, including wisdom about postpartum recovery and she herself was easily accessible whenever I needed to contact her… Gabe went the extra mile!”

— Emily | Chapel Hill, NC

“Gabe is a particularly perceptive and sensitive listener, instinctively picking up on subtle clues and hits throughout prenatal/postpartum meetings and during labor and delivery that allowed her to quickly tune in and offer suggestions that were appropriately adapted. She was my advocate and cheerleader, especially when I was feeling tired or discouraged. Her constant guidance and support were instrumental for me and my husband in realizing our goal of natural childbirth.”

“With shift change of doctors and nurses from night to day and not having met the main doctor, it was so important to me that Gabe was a constant and familiar presence and support. She encouraged me throughout and I labored naturally to 9cm overnight. I really feel that my birth experience was a primarily positive one because of Gabe’s doula support.”
