I was very lucky to have found Cecilia to support me and my partner James on our pregnancy and birth journey.

It was clear to me from day one how truly passionate Cecilia is about sharing birthing wisdom. I could not have imagined that the trust we created throughout the prenatal sessions would lead to such an empowering and beautiful birthing experience. I am so grateful for the calm presence, authenticity and support that Cecilia embodies and brings with her 100% of the time. I will treasure our experience and can't wait to tell our now tiny baby all about it for many years to come.

I truly wish every birthing person in the world could access such support and empowering care as we did from Cecilia. We are so very grateful. Thank you, Cecilia!

Having Cecilia as our birth doula helped to facilitate such a positive and transformative birth experience. She listened and understood deeply my wish for a natural, unmedicated birth and supported me to be confident in my decision-making and ability to be in control and empowered throughout the experience.

During the pregnancy she shared important educational resources that enabled me to deepen my knowledge and understanding of the process of labour, this was so valuable in preparing me psychologically and emotionally to embrace the deep and subconscious elements of birthing.

During the birth, it was so important to have the presence of someone I trusted to be able to advocate for me in the hospital setting. With Cecilia, this feeling of safety and trust is what helped facilitate a natural physiological birth and led to an amazing and positive experience for us all.

Cecilia was our doula for our first baby at the Royal Women’s Hospital, and my partner and I couldn’t have asked for a more positive birth experience.

I was really anxious about giving birth, but Cecilia helped us prepare physically, mentally, and spiritually for months beforehad.

She helped us unpack all the medical jardgon and hospital options, as well as better understand the physical process of labour. She also worked through our emontional blocks and fears.

During labour, her physical and emotional support was even more invaluable. She worked wonderfully in tandem with the RWH midwives and in the end, it only took 3 hours to deliver our baby upon entering the hospital!

Cecilia is like the best friend/mum/family member you want on your side throughout the unfamiliar (and sometimes scary!) territory of pregnancy, labour, and fourth trimester. I’m so grateful to her support and I’m really proud to call her my friend today:)

As a bonus, Cecilia’s pregnancy and postnatal massages are amazing. Her massages got me through the last few uncomfortable weeks of the third trimester!

Olivia & Abdul

“Having Cecilia with us was the wiser decision we could have made. As we start with her at an early stage of our pregnancy we could developed a strong relationship with her. Cecilia's coaching and support made us feel confident and empowered during stressful situations with nurses, doctors and midwives. Cecilia is a familiar, trusted person that can helped us in so many different ways. We strongly recommend having Cecilia as your doula.”

Luisa & Francis

“I have benefitted enormously from massages from Cecilia since around 2003. I used to come now and then but last year, after a treatment that really helped me with neck pain and pain from a migraine I have had monthly massages. And the results have been so good. Cecilia has a deep knowledge and understanding of the body so that she is able to deliver the results I want from a massage. She has released different deep muscles, including my iliopsoas and deep neck muscles. The results of her massages have been long lasting and ongoing. I could not ask for more from a massage therapist!”

Hanna

“Having a baby is both an exciting, rewarding and stressful time, thankfully with Cecilia’s experience we had the support we need to get through this life-changing event. Before our child was born, Cecilia helped us emotionally prepare for what was to come. When it was finally time to give birth, Cecilia was there helping us get through. Not only was Cecilia giving constant encouragement, but she was also able to talk to the Medical staff about important decisions, especially when we didn’t know the best way forward. Cecilia’s support was an invaluable part of our birthing experience, which we are eternally grateful.”

“I highly recommend massage by Cecilia. I am 90 years old and I feel so good during and after a massage from her. She has just the right touch - I feel good as soon as she starts to work on me. And the good feeling lasts! “

Judith

“Unfortunately we couldn’t have Cecilia in the birth of our little baby girl due to the COVID restrictions however, she provided me and my husband all the information and most importantly the mental and emotional support we need to feel comfortable during labour. Thanks to her advices, my husband coped perfectly with the situation, knew what to do and how to be that support that I needed. I overcame my fear about pain, had a vaginal birth without pain relief and a healthy baby. I definitely felt empowered, proud of myself and enjoyed every single second of the birth experience. I sincerely think I couldn’t have done it without the mental strength she gave us.”

Jessi & Nico

"I have seen Cecilia for almost 2 years now. She was recommended to me by another friend. I cannot speak highly enough of the massages. Cecilia discusses how you are feeling prior to any session and takes the time to look at your structure to see where may need more work. I have always felt very comfortable and the massages have been a huge help as I suffer from migraines as a result of neck and shoulder tension. I have never had a migraine following a session and have found that many sessions give me a lot more energy.

I have also seen Cecilia pre, during and post pregnancy. I have found Cecilia's knowledge as a Doula extremely useful and it means that she has a greater understanding and awareness for a changing body and growing baby. Cecilia has being so kind in sharing knowledge and resources that I would not otherwise have been aware of and to act as a sounding board particularly given that she also has her own son. Cecilia has a very warm and calming energy and nature which I find relaxes me. I cannot recommend her enough"

Emily

“I love ceci's massages. She is down to earth and I feel safe in the space that she creates. She is so intuitive. Not only listening with her ears but listening with her hands and really able tune in to what my body needs. I also appreciate that she can give a strong massage when needed and if people like it strong. And I like how sometimes she asks me to connect with my body using breath. She's really amazing and I would highly recommend her.”

I first met Cecilia after having my son. As a first-time mum I’d had a long and intense labour and my body was in desperate need of healing. Cecilia immediately worked her magic and after every massage I felt more human and more recovered. When I found out I was pregnant with my second baby, I immediately starting seeing Cecilia for prenatal massage. It became an essential part of my birth preparation, both for the physical benefits of massage, and for the wonderful chats we’d have. Cecilia’s background as a doula means she brings more than just massage to the table. She was able to offer a lot of wisdom around the birthing experience, to sense mine and my partners’ readiness for it, and to prompt me into thinking more about it. I highly recommend Cecilia and her healing hands to any expecting or postpartum mums, and as a remedial masseuse.

Megan

“Cecilia gave me a massage 6 weeks postpartum. She is amazingly intuitive and the massage was the first time that I truly reconnected with my body following birth. Cecilia also helped me to bring awareness back to my body and gave me strategies to avoid further pain and stiffness in my body. She also entertained my baby while massaging me! Can't recommend enough!”

Jenna

I am so grateful to have found you at a time when no other practitioner was able to resolve the ongoing pain in my body. With your careful and considered approach, you have been able to provide so much relief. My only issue now is that 60 minutes is never enough!!
