Gabriela

SHE/HER

Postpartum Doula

Service area:  Salt Lake, Davis, and Summit Counties

Gabriela Ruano became a postpartum doula after struggling through the challenges with her first child, then experiencing the profound difference of feeling supported with her second. These experiences shaped her mission: to help families look back on this season with joy, confidence, and peace, rather than exhaustion and overwhelm. With deep empathy and evidence-based knowledge, Gabriela empowers parents to feel confident, cared for, and capable as they adjust to life with a newborn.


Gabriela offers empathetic support tailored to each family’s needs. With specialized training in infant sleep, car seat safety, infant massage, and caring for multiples, she provides both daytime and overnight care. Her approach focuses on listening, guiding, and empowering parents to trust their instincts while offering practical help that makes daily life smoother. Gabriela’s goal is to leave families feeling calmer, stronger, and more confident with each visit.

Gabriela’s approach is rooted in warmth, empathy, and genuine care. She believes every family deserves to feel supported and respected in their parenting journey. Outside of her doula work, Gabriela enjoys spending time with her children, reading new books on perinatal care, and seeking opportunities to learn and grow. Her greatest joy is seeing parents leave the postpartum period feeling stronger, more confident, and deeply cared for.
