Birth is where this work began. After serving families for well over a decade, what I witnessed again and again was that birth wasn't simply a physical event~it was a profound threshold of transformation.

My practice has embodied several disciplines learned through trainings, certifications, and lived experience. The presence I offer as a holistic childbirth educator, somatic coach, and long-time birth doula blends evidence-based knowledge with energetic practices. I guide women in reconnecting to their body’s wisdom, finding their voice, and stepping into their autonomy and power.

My path in this work has always been guided by a deep calling: to help women feel supported, sovereign, and deeply held during life’s most transformative thresholds.

What Families Are Saying

 

“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.”

— Claudia | Pittsboro, NC

“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.”

— Eleanor | Saxaphaw, NC
