Giselle is an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC).
Giselle provides support to birthing people during labour, postpartum families and those experiencing pregnancy & infant loss and termination. Giselle became a doula because they wanted people to feel safe, validated and well cared for during the unique transitions that one experiences once they become pregnant.
They continue to care for families through lactation support, perinatal education with evidence based information, and an attentive ear-free of judgement. Their holistic full spectrum practice is rooted in reproductive justice and anti-oppression.
Giselle is a foodie, an avid cyclist who loves hikes, being in nature & spending time with their dog (and bestie) Rosie.
