Giselle provides support to birthing people during labour, postpartum families and those experiencing pregnancy & infant loss & 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.
Giselle is currently pursuing lactation training at the International Breastfeeding Centre (Newman Clinic) in order to become an international board certified lactation consultant.
