Lesley Gilbert, is a certified Baby Led Birth & Postpartum Doula, trained lactation counselor & breastfeeding peer counselor, certified yoga instructor, trained in abdominal massage and a traditional herbalist. She brings 13 years of experience as a birth worker. Lesley is also a mother of two boys ages 14 and 11, they are her greatest gift and teachers! 

She struggled to breastfeed both her sons and struggled with postpartum depression/anxiety because of this Lesley was called to help other women. To mother the mother. To care for the family so deeply they can heal and thrive and possibly create new ancestral cycles. 

Being Chicana/mixed indigenous informes her work through a social justice lense. Creating safe and healing spaces for BIPOC folks is a top priority for Lesley. Offering indigenous or traditional practices like specific yerbas (herbs), limpias (energetic clearings), or closing ceremonies is a way to participate in decolonization and honor her lineage. She believes in inclusion and offers her care to all people and is honored to teach her community about her culture.
