How incredibly thankful I was to have Gabe as my doula for birth of my second babe ?? We contacted Gabe after receiving multiple recommendations for her, and knew from the start she was a fantastic for our family. She’s kind and warm, and instantly puts you at ease. Because it was our first time planning a homebirth, we especially appreciated her experience with supporting mothers and families who chose to birth at home.
We met twice before the birth, and it was a great opportunity to talk about our preferences for support during labor. Gabe was so patient and understanding, and helped me work through some of my fears in anticipation for the birth.
During my labor, Gabe was encouraging and reassuring, offering touch when needed, and reaffirmations to keep me focused. When labor intensified and my contractions had peaked, she was grounded and calm, giving constant physical support and maintaing such a peaceful tone despite the intensity of the situation. Pushing was intense and Gabe never faltered, even when I’m sure my grip tightened and my vocalizations turned to screams. I’m sure I couldnt have birthed our 11lb babe so easily without her support!!
