Gather Women Space

A space and community for women Workshops & Gatherings Women's & Prenatal Yoga Birth Classes Looking for a doula? At the heart of our community is a collective of doulas who will show up for you and support you through your life-changing conception, pregnancy, birth and postpartum journey. Our Story Gather was created to educate, support and hold space for women as they transition through major life moments. Our intention is to surround our community with love and care no matter what journey they are on. To honour all who come through our doors, we offer workshops, gatherings and one-on-one sessions to empower and nurture, plus women’s and prenatal yoga, meditation and doula connections. We are an inclusive space open to all. Our founder Gather was founded in 2018 by mother of three, birth doula and author Gabrielle Nancarrow. Gather was a little seed in Gabrielle’s mind for a long time, beginning in New York City in 2013 when her first pregnancy ended in miscarriage. She was stricken by a complex grief and did not know where to turn for support. Wouldn’t it be wonderful, she thought, if there existed a place where women could go and be vulnerable and share their stories with others who understood? A space that offered not just physical but emotional healing as well? The idea stayed with her through her next pregnancy, during which she discovered the magic of doulas and hired one for her first birth in 2014. That birth changed her on all levels of her being, as all births do, and not long after she quit her corporate job and trained to become a birth doula herself.
