women - birth - motherhood - education
BienveNIDOs, I’m Gabriela.
I am a wife, mother, educator, doula, and woman still becoming.
Over the years, birth and motherhood have taught me that there is so much more to this work than preparing for a single day. There is the becoming before it, the surrender within it, and the woman who emerges on the other side.
I believe that Nido is the space for all of it.
For birth and postpartum. For motherhood and womanhood. For the questions, the growing, the beauty, and the moments that ask us to become someone new.
Here, I share what I have learned, what I am still learning, and the wisdom I have been blessed to gather along the way. I do so with reverence for the women who came before us and tenderness for the women we are becoming.
If you are preparing for birth, learning to mother, finding your way through a new season, or simply looking for a place to feel a little less alone, come sit with me; there’s room at my table.
Ways to work with Gabriela
-
Doula Support
Birth and postpartum are thresholds: moments of becoming that deserve knowledge, presence, and care. I offer continuous doula support for any type of birth, planned cesarean support, and nurturing postpartum care.
-
Education
Education changes the way we enter birth and motherhood. Through childbirth, newborn and partner education, as well as private preparation, I create space for honest questions and informed choices.

Birthworker Apprenticeship
Working in the birth world is more than knowing what to do in a labor room. My apprenticeship offers one-on-one mentorship for women who want to learn, observe, and grow beyond certification.
Gabriela has warmth, nonjudgmental ease, and a wealth of knowledge that calmed my first-time parent anxiety. Nothing went the way I wanted it to: I couldn't have a natural home birth due to a myomectomy and gestational diabetes. She was there to offer support and guidance through all of the issues I had along the way. When my baby had to go to the NICU, I couldn't have managed without her postpartum support.

Gabriela helped me as a first-time mom. She was my doula and was amazing! Both my hubs and I felt so much calmer when she arrived and explained everything, and helped us through contractions and breathing techniques.
She was there with us through it all. We can’t express how helpful and supported, and educated we felt by having her by our side!
10/10 recommendations!!! Also, for post-birth help and advice highly recommend!

Having Gabriela by our side was one of the best decisions we made for our birth experience. She brought such calm, knowledge, and reassurance to every moment, helping us feel confident and supported through labor and postpartum. Her care went far beyond what we expected, and we’ll always be grateful for her warmth and guidance

Such an incredible experience with Gabbi. She was a great resource throughout the pregnancy and really empowered us to make decisions that felt aligned with our desires. During the birth, she was a champion and an anchor with endless back rubs (thank you!) and continued support through a long birth. We are so grateful to have had her help! The continuous reminders that there are many ways to approach both pregnancy and birth made such an impact on our experience with everything from glucose testing to using a sheet for “tug of war” during the pushing phase!
