Gabrielle Bass

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."
