In 2020 I had a traumatic birth experience that left me disappointed and fearful. So when I became pregnant the 2nd time around, I knew I wanted to reclaim my birth story. Celina helped me do that and much more! From our first zoom meeting, I felt a connection - Celina was so easy to talk to, and she was an amazing listener. I never felt rushed through any of our meetings and she was always available, checking in, and answering all of my questions. She made sure to get me thinking about EVERYTHING - birth plan, partner support, postpartum…and she was so thorough that for the first time, I actually felt mentally prepared for birth, and was looking forward to it!! Along the way she managed to also help me improve communication with my husband, to also feel like I had his full support as well, something I felt was missing the first time around. Most importantly, having Celina there during labor meant I was able to actually give birth in the delivery room and not on the triage floor. The hospital was so busy, and I felt abandoned by the nurses and midwife on call, but once Celina got there and noticed how far along I was, she got things moving and everyone sprang into action. Without Celina, I am sure I would not have been able to reflect positively on the whole experience. She was absolutely instrumental in helping me achieve the empowering birth experience that I wanted and also to approach postpartum with a positive outlook. I am so glad I met Celina, and she will always be a part of this amazing chapter in our lives!

Celina was invaluable to us as first time parents. Not only did she give us the education we needed, she was encouraging, kind and FUN during the process. She made my partner and I feel so supported from the moment we met her. Maybe most importantly, she gave me the knowledge to advocate for myself. I don't know that I would have such a positive birth experience had I not felt so prepared and empowered going into labor.

Choosing Celina as our doula was hands down the best decision for our baby's birth! She's super knowledgeable and brings amazing energy that put us at ease from the get-go. From tough pregnancy choices to birth itself, Celina had our back. She'd dive into research, lay out pros and cons, ensuring we always felt confident with the decisions we made. She truly heard us, grasped our priorities, and guided us to the birth experience we dreamed of. Thanks to Celina, what could've been a traumatic experience turned into an empowering birth memory we'll always cherish!
