I am Cecilia. I am a Birth and Postnatal Doula, as well as a professional Remedial Massage Therapist with 14 years of experience. I speak Spanish & English, so you can say I’m a “Bilingual birth and Postnatal Doula and Massage Therapist”.

I was born and raised in Argentina, and have made Australia home since 2011. I love the enriching aspect of sharing cultures, it feels like an invisible unspoken universal language that connects us in a unique way. I have a particular life story of opportunities that were presented to me without really knowing at the time that I was led by a deep intuition and force that led me to be who and where I am today.

Remedial Massage Therapy Course {Melbourne Institute of Massage Therapy (MIMT)}. Massage Therapy gave me purpose and guidance in my life. 14 years later, I still find myself in awe of my deep connection to this art, the healing properties it holds and the many layers of support it offers to us humans.

Trauma-Informed Foundation Training with Collective being. This course is my introduction to the trauma field. I’m now getting ready to the big one coming up in September with Yoga for HumanKind. I’ll be learning about yoga-informed, accessible & embodied Yoga. This is a 200 hrs qualification that will set me up to be off service to others in the trauma space.

I believe giving birth exceeds the unlimited thoughts of capability in all realms: spiritual, physical, and mental.  It also shows the imprint of  birth is a collective experience. 

It’s my commitment as a doula, to advocate for changes that need to happen within the birth system. Continuity of care in the public sector, inclusiveness of race and gender and most of all, making sure people, all people, know what their choices are, from a knowledge and trusted based not from a medical fear based. I want each of you to know their authentic pregnancy and birth journey by being an active participant of it all. 

It’s my role, commitment and responsibility as your doula and massage therapist, to make sure this is part of your pregnancy and birth journey.
