About The Wholeistic Doula
Bio
I’m Gabrielle, otherwise known as @thewholeisticdoula 🕯️ I am an Ayurvedic birth and postpartum doula focusing heavily on incorporating ancient wisdom into pregnancy, birth, and postpartum for every woman I work with. I am a Holistic Birth and Pregnancy Practitioner helping you learn all about fertility, & conception. My focus and motto is to hold the mother, so she can hold her baby. I want you to have a blissful experience filled with rest, recovery & rejuvenation. Let's work together!
Q&A
Q: What are your certifications and trainings?
A: I am in the final semester of my Master of Science degree in Integrative Medicine and Ayurveda. I just completed an 11 week training at the Aura Institute for Holistic Birth and Pregnancy Practitioner, coupled with doing my online Birth Doula cert. through DONA. I completed an Ayurvedic Postpartum doula training in California in January 2024.
Q: How do you answer the question: "I want your support but my partner feels like they'll be replaced"?
A: I love this question, and this happens often! The way that I combat this is by including your partner in every appointment. I give them the space to ask any questions and to get to know me as well because as much as this is your journey, it is also theirs and they deserve to feel included in the process as much as possible.
Q: What locations or areas do you serve?
A: Mainly, I serve NYC, and NJ. If you are looking for me to travel to you, I am 100% open to that and we can discuss logistics.
Q: What's your top piece of advice for an expectant mom?
A: SURRENDER TO THE EXPERIENCE! Birth and postpartum is about surrendering, not controlling, and the more you allow yourself to simply exist in each moment as it comes, the more you will find that the rest of the nonsense falls away. Especially with me in your circle making sure that you get everything that you need!
