About me

Hello mamas! My name is Cecile Lancaster, I am a foster care social worker, community builder, and doula dedicated to supporting families through life’s most meaningful transitions. I’ve walked alongside parents, caregivers, and birthing people with a blend of emotional grounding, advocacy, and compassionate care for 8 years. I believe birth is not just a medical event, it’s a human experience that deserves tenderness, clarity, and support. My approach centers emotional safety, evidence‑based guidance, and a calm, steady presence that helps families feel confident and connected throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. I’ve supported a variety of birth experiences, and no matter your vision or birth plan, my priority is that you feel informed, empowered, and deeply cared for every step of the way. Whether you’re preparing for your first birth, navigating a fast‑approaching due date, or seeking extra grounding in your third trimester, I’m honored to be part of your journey. My hope is simple: to help you create a birth experience that feels calm, confident, and aligned with your values & one where you feel held, supported, and never alone where you are able to birth freely. With gratitude, Doula Cecile/Cess
