We hired Celeste to provide labor and birth education as we prepared for a non-medicated birth. During our initial phone contact Celeste was warm, friendly, and excited to understand our needs. This continued as we met with her informally to plan. She came to our home to conduct the class. Her in-home labor and birth education was tailored to our needs and concerns. Additionally, she provided us with information about topics and areas we had not anticipated or been aware of. Celeste provided more than a lecture, she was interactive and experiential in her teaching style. She showed various techniques to help both myself and my husband in the new experience of labor and birth. She helped us to reflect on and develop a deeper understanding of each others needs and expectations in this process. She is very effective at non-judgmentally exploring this topic while encouraging autonomy and empowerment in those she works with. I would highly recommend her for anyone seeking a doula to educate them on labor/birth for partners or individuals.
