Gabrielle Nancarrow has created a beautiful space in Seddon for women to come together and connect through the sharing of stories, thoughts and experiences. At Gather you'll find workshops, gatherings and one-on-one sessions with the intention to empower and nurture you. There's everything from sharing birth stories, infertility and birth loss support, sex and relationship guidance, prenatal yoga, meditation, doula connections and much more. Gabrielle is on a mission to bring women into the space at Gather so they can connect with other women and help find their balance through self-care, storytelling and community. She wants the women who come to Gather to fell truly held and nurtured and to feel that they are in a safe space where they can share whatever it is that is happening in their life. In this episode Gabrielle opens up about how her personal experience of both loss and birth inspired the idea of Gather. She also explains and explores the role of a doula. And lastly discusses the challenges faced by modern Mums to find support, connection and community. For this Melbourne Mama, her story begins in New York where she was working as an Editorial Director at Victoria's Secret. I'll let her tell the rest of her incredible story, so let's meet Gabrielle.
