ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Meet Gabriela
Gabriela Gerhart is the founder of the Motherhood Center. She established this haven for mothers in 2000, turning a lifelong dream into reality. Gabriela discovered her passion for babies and childcare at an early age while growing up in a small village in the Czech Republic. She received her degree in Pediatric Nursing and worked in the pediatric ER before accepting a position in the United States as an au pair. After arriving here she quickly realized that women lacked the village and family aspect of pregnancy and motherhood support. Gabriela is recognized as an expert in the field of pregnancy and early-stage child development and has delivered keynote addresses for local and national conferences and women’s organizations. She holds committee and board positions on several non-profit organizations around the Houston area, focused on helping women and babies. In her free time she enjoys golfing, reading, quality time spent with family and friends, and traveling with her husband.
