Gabrielle Bass (they/she) is a first-gen Liberian full-spectrum community doula based in Brooklyn, who comes from a lineage of caregivers of both people and the land. This legacy of tending and nurturing continues to shape their path as a doula. Gabrielle is also trained in childbirth education, postpartum care, lactation education, perinatal movement, perinatal mood support, abortion care, home birth assistance, and prison doula work. Gabrielle approaches doula work through a holistic lens, honoring the mind, body, and spirit of the whole family. Her support is tailored to each family's unique needs, weaving together somatic practices, herbalism, and spiritual grounding with steady, embodied presence, deep listening, and practical guidance. Gabrielle walks alongside clients, honoring autonomy, dignity, and each person's lived experience during vulnerable moments, ensuring every family feels held, heard, and never alone. Their practice is explicitly gender-inclusive and affirming, with a strong commitment to supporting queer individuals, queer families, and immigrant communities, and Gabrielle welcomes anyone who feels called to work with them. Drawing from her Liberian heritage and lived experience, Gabrielle brings cultural sensitivity, respect, and a community-centered approach to care, helping clients feel safe, supported, and empowered throughout their journey. Outside of doula work, Gabrielle is a performance artist who loves to dance and majored in photography at Parsons. "I don't just support your birth, postpartum, loss, or transition. I show up for the full, tender, sacred experience of becoming."

What families are saying

Gabby was our first doula, and we never expected to feel so comfortable sharing such an intimate experience with someone outside of doctors and family. She blended right in, supporting us and helping make the delivery process as comfortable as possible. She always went the extra mile and was ready to assist at any hour. Her positive energy lifted us on days when we needed it most, and she was consistently informative and communicative throughout the entire journey. We are deeply grateful for her presence and care." -Karen and Ry
From the moment we met, Gabby was incredibly supportive. She made sure my second birth experience went smoother than my first, and ensured I had all of the information I needed to make informed decisions throughout my pregnancy and birth. She continuously reassured me of my strength and ability to have an unmedicated birth, and she held my hand through every step of the process. Gabby supported me while my husband was away, attended appointments with me, and provided knowledgeable lactation education and emotional support postpartum. She helped me process both of my birth experiences, made me feel deeply heard, and even played gospel music with me to calm my nerves and help me claim my power. I couldn’t be more satisfied with the support I received. Her presence alone made a huge impact." -Toni
Christine was a calming voice in the birthing room, and an advocate for me when things got hard. Postpartum she has continued to be a support person as questions have arisen.
