Testimonial for Celia Aldape
I had heard of a doula before but didn’t really know what they did or if I needed one.
I started doing some research and talked to friends and decided I wanted to learn more.
I don’t really know how I found her, possibly fate. But I found and reached out to Celia. She answered my questions, told me about what she does, what services she offers, etc.
I knew right away that she would be extremely helpful.
We took our childbirth classes through her and learned SO MUCH. With her help, we started to feel more and more prepared and confident about this new adventure. I was always so scared of pregnancy, labor, delivery, and I think it was because I didn’t have the knowledge or education. Her classes were amazing and very tailored to us which we loved!
Celia was there for me throughout my pregnancy with emotional support and helping me navigate my birth plan and some awesome massages (she’s an LMT ??)
When it came time for labor, Chris and I swear we could not have done it without her. She was everything we needed plus some. This is our first baby, first labor experience, we knew it would be difficult but she guided us every single minute of the way. She helped Chris know how to support me, she stepped in when I needed extra support from the pain.
She reminded me how to breathe, how to focus and helped me relax when I got so overwhelmed.
She showed/ told Chris what to do for me which made him feel more confident in how to be there for me through the toughest contractions.
She fed me a sandwich after birth and helped me sip on water all throughout. She went above and beyond to make me feel taken care of and supported.
She was the anchor to us getting through it all and I am so thankful we crossed paths!
If you have ever thought about hiring a doula, don’t think just call Celia! We would not have had such a great labor experience without her. We are so grateful!
