Testimonial for Gabriella Dorsen
Having Gabi as my post-partum doula was such a gift. Being a second time mama, who struggled with post-partum depression and breast feeding the first time around I knew I would need additional help bringing baby number two home after a c-section.
My husband I are both so grateful that we had Gabi during the first week we became a family of four. She is patient, thoughtful, and understood my needs – like having warm food ready for me when I was sleep deprived and forgetting to eat.
Her presence is calming, and she is a wonderful listener. If you have a desire to breast feed but maybe need professional support, she is the gal! Gabi was my champion during those first few days. From her I learned how to coach my baby to a comfortable latch and had someone to commiserate while I worked on my supply during those extra pumping sessions.
I would definitely recommend Gabi if this is your first, second, or even third baby! The additional care she provided allowed myself and my husband to focus on bonding with our new baby and helping our older child adjust to his new sibling.
Things I appreciate most about working with Gabi: no judgment regarding any of my choices, amazing understanding of family dynamics, fantastic sense of humor, and continued support after the birth. She also taught me how-to Mari Kondo fold all those baby onesies!
Gabi also has extensive knowledge of natural mama and baby care. If you are looking for someone to help you create a peaceful environment in which to bring your little one home; Gabi is the doula you want by your side.
