About Me
Our story begins by helping a family in need. Our founder, Gabriela Gerhart, was approached by a new mom to help her as she recovered from the birth of her baby and to assist with taking care of a newborn. The family knew of Gabriela’s education in pediatric nursing and experience in newborn care, specifically with preemies, and they needed her help. After a few months had passed her role as a Baby Doula (Night Nanny) was coming to an end, but before Gabriela could decide what she was going to do next she received a call from another family that needed help with their newborn. The calls continued, and after countless referrals, for her services, she was unable to fulfill all the requests by herself. She quickly realized she needed to hire and train additional Baby Doulas to support the growing demand. That’s how we became the Motherhood Center.
The Motherhood Center steadily grew organically as we continued to add new services to support the needs of pregnant and new moms. We were determined to build our village through valued services and collaborative connections for our clients as they transitioned into parenthood. What started out as one service quickly elevated into 11 departments making the Motherhood Center the only maternity and new mom wellness center in the United States under one roof. That’s how we got our start and became Houston’s most trusted pregnancy and new mom wellness and resource center. We are thankful for where we are today, and we know the reasons for our continued success are based on our philosophy, approach, passion, and people.
