Gaya,
coordinator · postpartum doula lead.
We believe mothers deserve more support after birth than our current systems often provide.
Lavi and I built The Retreat because we both believe mothers deserve to be cared for, not just celebrated.
For more than seven years, I've supported families as a birth and postpartum doula, helping mothers navigate everything from newborn care and feeding to recovery and the emotional ups and downs of early parenthood.
I'm often the one moving throughout the house, checking in on moms, answering questions, soothing babies, and making sure each family feels comfortable and supported during their stay.
My favorite moments are the quiet ones. The deep breath after a good nap. The confidence that comes after a feeding finally clicks. The look on a mother's face when she realizes she doesn't have to figure everything out on her own.
Excellent care should feel like being loved on, not processed.
