Your Educator: Gabby
Doula • Founder of Up The Duff Doula Support • Kaia Birth Educator
Gabby from Up The Duff Doula brings warmth, compassion and a deeply supportive approach to the Newcastle classes.
Her own words say it best:
*"My decision to start Up the duff Doula Support comes from a place of genuine compassion, lived experience and a deep desire to make a difference. I’m driven by a vision of what birth could look like when women are fully supported, respected and empowered.
I’ve witnessed the gaps in the medical system and have seen too many women and their families fall through them, not given the support and care that is so deserved.
I also believe that early support continuing throughout pregnancy, birth and beyond can greatly change the trajectory of a woman's experience, her and her partners bond with their baby and their long term well-being."*
Gabby's passion and commitment to providing women with unbiased support and education makes her the perfect Kaia Birth Educator for our Newcastle families.
