Testimonial for Celia Aldape
Celia was an amazing source of support for me throughout my pregnancy. Early on I was in need of a massage to assist with an injury and she was incredibly helpful. It was through these massages that I decided to hire her as a Doula since we had bonded through touch and I knew she would be the best person to support and comfort my body during labor and any challenges it held for me physically. Celia is also a delightful person to talk and share life's stories with as she is a warm, compassionate, and funny lady. I feel my pregnancy certainly put her to work and I never tired of her presence. I experienced several rounds of prodromal labor and she was very supportive with showing up for a "labor party" even though things fizzled out. I also then went "overdue" and she was able to assist with a series of "induction" bodywork to help move things along. And then when the big day finally did arrive she was a remarkably calm and peaceful source for me to turn to for witty banter and physical comfort measures. She was hands-on the entire time of my labor which is just what I needed. She willingly provided me with endless hip squeezes and fed me snacks and kept me hydrated during the entire labor. After the birth she gave me the best feet and leg massages as we managed my care and met the new baby. In the early newborn days, she helped me with a couple postnatal massages to relieve my exhausted and seriously strained body which helped me recover and be available to my new baby and family much more easily. Celia is a remarkable and truly knowledgeable source for anything bodywork and pregnancy/birth focused. Celia is a must hire! Don't believe me? Just book a massage and find out for yourself! You'll walk away having scheduled her to meet your husband for a Doula consultation!
