Gigi The Doula
Remembering My Why
Two years ago, I had the honor of supporting my sister, a mother of twins, male and female. She and her husband faced a unique challenge in their journey to parenthood. That led them to seek IVF to ensure the health of their future children. Witnessing their strength and resilience during this process was deeply inspiring, and it reinforced the importance of having informed, compassionate support during such critical moments.
As a doula, I aim to arm families with the knowledge, advocacy, and the care they deserve. Witnessing the transformation of my sister’s hope into reality was one of the most profound experiences of my life. From the struggles and triumphs, to conducting tarot readings to affirm her through doubts and worries, to her labor and delivery, the experience of babies at the nicu - as they were premature, to holding two babies in our arms, and late night feedings every two hours, I stood by her side. Today, those babies are thriving, animated and beautifully intelligent toddlers who are learning to speak, who now walk, run and give so much light and love to our lives. I feel deeply honored to have been part of their growth. It is moments like these that inspire me to become the best doula I can be. This was not my first time providing care for a mother and child, but it was the moment I knew I had found my calling.
Being able to give a worried parent support through such a vulnerable and transformative time is both a privilege and a responsibility. As a doula, I’m building on my natural instincts and experiences to provide families with the reassurance, education, & advocacy they need to navigate pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with confidence. I want to support clients with sensitivity and empathy. This is a calling rooted in my passion for helping people thrive during some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives.

— Jasmine M.Twelve years later, we are still so grateful that she was part of the journey that brought us Xander. My pregnancy was incredibly challenging, filled with severe PCOS, an arcuate uterus, placenta previa, heavy bleeding, and so much uncertainty. Giselle helped us navigate every fear, and every emotional roller coaster with incredible compassion and calm.
What makes Giselle extraordinary is that she is deeply knowledgeable and evidence-based, while also providing the warmth, reassurance, & emotional support every family needs.
After our son was born, Giselle continued to be our anchor. She helped us survive the sleepless nights, cared for our son with the same love and dedication she would give her own family, and supported us as we learned to become parents. Her patience, kindness, and steady presence carried us through some of our most vulnerable moments.
We cannot imagine those early days without her, and we will always be grateful for the love, care, and wisdom she gave our family. We recommend Giselle not only as a doula, but as a lifelong source of support and care.
- Norma F.Giselle was an amazing addition to our twin team! Having twins was the hardest thing I have ever had to do and it was just my husband and I.

Oasis: Creating Ideal Care Menus with Juli & Josette
“Creating Ideal Care Menus”
Let's be real: these systems seek to disregulate our bodies at every turn especially while working towards liberation - violence towards our bodies, gaslighting what we know is true, everything this war machine can do to crush our spirits and extract energy from us.
We invite aligned community members to a portal of healing to recharge, reground & alchemize for collective liberation after days of tireless protest and advocacy. While we center trauma informed care, we know that there is no true rest and healing so long as colonial harm continues.
May our offering to the community help you walk with unshakeable peace, ground in the power of your spiritual guides (God, Spirit, Universe, angels, ancestors, etc), and make your liberation work sustainable for the long run. WE KEEP US SAFE!
What to Expect:
A calming, grounding meditation to help you regulate your nervous system and come back to yourself
A practical exercise to discover how your intuition naturally shows up (seeing, knowing, hearing, or feeling)
Leave with tools and practices to aid in personal and collective liberation work
Space to share and connect with others
This workshop helps you:
Reclaim your intuition as a powerful tool for navigating life's challenges
Feel clearer and more confident in your inner guidance
Develop practices that keep you grounded and connected in the long-term
Discover how your unique intuitive gifts can support you
Walk away feeling more like you—empowered, rooted, and whole
