Gabriela is originally from Brazil, where she completed her undergraduate studies and a postgraduate Women’s Health degree. She has been working with pregnancy for 13 years, initially in research, and more recently as a birth doula and women’s health/pelvic floor physiotherapist.
Just before moving to Australia in 2022, Gabriela had been working with a team of homebirth midwives and doulas, in pregnancy and in labor, to help promote more comfort, better physical balance and fetal positioning to patients in the public and private sectors. She offers a holistic view and approach to pregnancy, birth and postpartum rehabilitation, with experience using aromatherapy and plant-medicine.
“Gabi” believes everyone has the potential to move more “wildly”, freely and independently, and she thrives in seeing patients gain empowerment in their health journey.
In her free time Gabi loves to spend time at her veggie garden, hiking, baking sourdough or cooking.
