Meet Gillian

Hi, I’m Gillian. I’m a full spectrum doula based in the greater Pittsburgh area. I believe every person deserves compassionate, evidence-based support throughout their reproductive journey. Support that respects their values, centers informed consent, and recognizes that no two experiences are alike.

Whether you’re preparing for birth, navigating postpartum, experiencing pregnancy loss, or exploring your reproductive options, my goal is to meet you where you are with practical guidance, education, and compassionate support.

My path to birth work didn’t originally begin with doula training. It began years earlier while supporting children and families as a professional nanny. Over more than a decade, I’ve had the privilege of caring for families through newborn days, developmental milestones, family transitions, and the everyday moments that shape parenthood. Those experiences taught me that every family deserves compassionate, individualized support.

As I learned more about pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care, I realized how many people move through these experiences feeling unheard, overwhelmed, or unsure of their options. I became a full spectrum doula because I believe people deserve evidence-based information, unwavering support, and the confidence to make decisions that align with their own values; not someone else’s expectations.

My role isn’t to make decisions for you. It’s to provide the information, guidance, and steady presence you need so you can navigate your journey feeling informed, respected, and supported every step of the way.

What You Can Expect

Inclusive Care

Every person deserves compassionate, respectful support, regardless of their identity, family structure, income, or reproductive journey. My role is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported without judgment.

Evidence-based education

You deserve accurate, balanced information; not fear, pressure, or opinions presented as facts. I’ll help you understand your options so you can make decisions with confidence.

Informed consent

No one should feel rushed into making decisions they don’t fully understand. Together, we’ll talk through your choices so you can give informed consent that reflects your values and goals.

Individualized support

No two journeys are the same, and your care shouldn’t be either. Whether you’re preparing for birth, recovering postpartum, navigating pregnancy loss, or exploring your options, my support is tailored to your unique needs.
