Hi, I'm Gabi - twin mom, Founder + Formulator. I am a Latina mom by choice, for choice.

My path to motherhood took 3 years of infertility, 3 pregnancy losses, 6 IUIs, and 2 rounds of IVF.

My first pregnancy after years of trying was ectopic. It was not viable. The abortion that ended it saved my life.

After two more losses and 18 more months of treatment, I got pregnant with my boys. One embryo transfer split into identical twins.

What followed was a high-risk pregnancy complicated by my chronic illnesses, an emergency C-section under general anesthesia, a hemorrhage that required a blood transfusion and a bakri balloon, preeclampsia, and two babies who both needed resuscitation. They were placed on cooling blankets for five days. I didn't get to hold them until day six.

The postpartum recovery was brutal. I developed PTSD from the birth. I could barely function, let alone formulate. It took months before I could get back into my studio - and the only reason I did was because my boys' eczema was so relentless that every "clean" baby brand I tried made it worse.

I am a mom because every single link in the chain held. Fertility care helped me get and stay pregnant, and caught the ectopic before it could rupture. Prenatal monitoring that managed a high-risk pregnancy. An OR team that stopped a hemorrhage. A NICU that kept my babies alive. Postpartum care that treated my PTSD.

If any single one of those links had been missing, this story ends differently. I might not be a mom. I might not be here at all.

Reproductive health care is not a la carte.

You don't get to protect IVF while dismantling abortion access. You don't get to celebrate birth while defunding postpartum care. You don't get to fund NICUs while restricting the prenatal monitoring that keeps babies out of them. The chain works because every link exists. Remove one, and the whole thing is in jeopardy.

I've been pro-choice since I was arguing about it in high school. Going through infertility, IVF, a life-saving abortion, a high-risk pregnancy, a traumatic birth, and a brutal postpartum recovery made those beliefs all the more visceral and personal.

1% of every Bright Body and Bright Body Baby sale goes toward funding access to reproductive health care.

We make no apologies for it.

When SCOTUS overturned Roe in 2022, my twins were two months old. I was still recovering from the birth. I was enraged, I was terrified, and I decided that if I was going to build a baby care brand, it was going to stand for the thing that made my babies possible in the first place.

Every purchase from Bright Body or Bright Body Baby is a vote for a world where reproductive health care - all of it, every link - remains accessible to everyone. Not just people who look like me. Not just people who can afford it. Everyone.

In solidarity,
