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.
