About Me

Hi, I’m Gaby! I’m a birth doula, proud mom of two, and deeply passionate about empowering families to feel confident and supported during their birthing journey. My own transformative birth experiences—both midwife-supported at the UC San Diego Hospital Birth Center—inspired me to pursue this incredible work.

Before becoming a doula, I earned a Ph.D. in Bioengineering from UC San Diego and briefly worked as a product manager in the health-tech startup space. These experiences shaped my evidence-based approach, which I combine with a calm, caring presence to create a supportive and informed birth environment.

Whether you’re planning a hospital, home, or c-section birth, I’m here to collaborate with you and your care team to create a birth experience that feels right for you. Let’s celebrate your birth power together!

When I’m not supporting families, I love spending time outdoors with my husband, Zak, and our two kids, Elise and Julian. You might find us backpacking, hiking, or exploring the trails at Torrey Pines. I also enjoy discovering new restaurants, trail running, and cherishing time with my extended family here in Southern California—a place I’m grateful to call home.
