Relevant volunteer or advocacy work

Dr. Gina Cardillo (‘car-DILL-owe’) is passionate about supporting lifelong learners. In her work, she puts relationships first, recognizing that attuned, reciprocal, and reflective connections between people are what ultimately drives all learning and resilience, at any point on life’s journey. She strives to be a devoted communication therapist and partner for families and early childhood education professionals. She is guided by principles of healing-centered practice, infant and early childhood mental health, developmental and cognitive (neuro)psychology. Her clinical and research background focused on the highly sensitive Prenatal to 3rd grade period. She served as a senior Early Support therapist at Kindering’s Families in Transition Team, which supported families experiencing resilience in their safety, housing, and self-empowerment journeys with infants and toddlers. She is currently the Speech & Language therapist (and former department manager) at Northwest Center Early Supports, serving families 0-3 years old in the Seattle area. A dynamic and engaging presenter, she has developed customized courses, workshops and keynotes, and serves as an advisor and consultant in the early learning community. She served as the Interim Director of Education at the Hearing, Speech & Deaf Center in Seattle, and was the founding Director of Outreach at the University of Washington’s Institute for Learning and Brain Sciences. As a state-approved trainer in WA, Gina also develops professional learning opportunities, which include promoting resilience and relationships in educational settings. A former faculty member at the University of Washington College of Education (Department of Early Childhood and Family Studies, and Special Education), some favorite courses she developed were Family & Community Engagement (online learning), and Risk & Resilience in Infants & Toddlers.

Fee Details

I'm excited to offer birth doula services as I complete my training and gain invaluable experience for my full certification. My goal is to provide compassionate and evidence-based, continuous emotional, physical, and informational support for birthing people and their families. To ensure this vital support is available to all, my fees are on a sliding scale at this time, allowing for flexible and affordable options.
