Celina Sainte-Rose

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! W.L. Brooklyn NY
