Celestina Vanabrams

Prenatal & Postpartum Doula

About Me

Hi, I'm Celestina! I'm a postpartum doula offering support rooted in care for new parents. I believe that in order for a birthing person to recover and heal after birth while caring for their new baby, their own needs must be met first. Supporting families through this tender transition is truly my calling.

I practice intuitively and based in evidence, meeting each family where they are and supporting the needs of every family member so the transition into life with a new baby can feel as smooth as possible.

Practice Philosophy

My philosophy as a doula is to support my clients in whatever makes them feel most safe and comfortable. Offering evidence-based information and allowing clients to make their own informed choices is deeply important to me. I practice intuitively and based in evidence, meeting each family exactly where they are.

For the postpartum period, I truly believe the birthing person's needs must be met in order for them to focus on caring for and bonding with their new baby. That means caring for the whole family, supporting every member so the transition into this new chapter can feel as smooth as possible.

I also believe preparation begins well before birth: prenatally, making a plan for postpartum is key, including setting up a community of support, dividing tasks, arranging sibling care, and creating food plans. Overall, my goal is to help your family feel nourished, supported, and cared for, so you can rest, heal, and bond during this tender season.
