Practice overview
I have served as a birth doula and licensed massage therapist for over 11 years, 250+ families, and I’ve loved every minute of it. (Testimonials can be viewed on my DoulaMatch profile!) My service starts from the moment of hiring. Everything is tailored to you specifically. My greatest wish is for you and your partner to feel safe and supported, no matter what decision you choose is right for you. We work together during your pregnancy to find out what your wishes are, how to work through changes, and how to navigate conversations with your birth team, for maximum emotional support. Your transition into parenthood can be both joyous and difficult, and hopefully we will access our senses of humor as we walk through that door together.
No one can guarantee what your pregnancy journey is going to look like, but I can promise you will have someone by your side.

On a personal note, Gina is an incredible and knowledgeable massage therapist. She does great pelvic releases and works alongside with physical therapists. I can assure that one of the reasons I delivered unmedicated at home is because she supported my physical, emotional and mental being. On a professional note, I am a midwife myself and she has been on my referral list for doula work and massage therapist for the past 5 ears or so. Everyone hiring her services will be so lucky and honored to have her in such an vulnerable yet amazing journey.

She combines this with her empathetic heart, calming presence, and insight to the emotional needs of each family she supports. Gina is highly skilled at holding the physical and emotional needs each birth requires. I have seen her work tirelessly for hours and with complete focus on what will be the most helpful. You can depend on Gina to have many uniquely valuable contributions and be part of the reason you remember your birth with joy.

May 20, 2023 at 3:01 am | Client reviewWe can’t speak highly enough about our experience working with Gina. During my pregnancy, Gina was responsive and reassuring. In a massage session toward the end of my pregnancy, Gina was so knowledgeable about the different systems of the body and was able to relieve a lot of discomfort that I was feeling. In our preparation calls, Gina taught me and my husband many different strategies and coping techniques that helped immensely during actual labor. Throughout labor and delivery I was looking to Gina for support, guidance, and comfort, all of which she provided endlessly. I was able to achieve my own personal goal of having an unmedicated birth, and I had such a positive birth experience, due mostly to Gina’s involvement. Gina is strong, kind, empathetic, and knows about the body deeply. Her passion for helping families is so evident, and I can’t imagine having to do it without her. She helped us get to breastfeeding successfully in the first hour after birth, and continued to check in with us and care for us during the postpartum time. Gina was incredible to have on our team from the day we started working with her, and even now, continues to be present in our life as one of our biggest supporters. We love Gina!!!
