Celia Mansfield - Postpartum Doula

About Celia

My approach to postpartum care is deeply holistic, rooted in the belief that when a mother is cared for, the whole family thrives. While I certainly love babies, my philosophy is simple: I am not here to hold babies—I am here to hold mothers. As a postpartum doula, clinical social worker, herbalist, and mother myself, I weave together evidence-based support with ancestral wisdom to nurture the emotional, physical, and spiritual transition into motherhood. My care may include nourishing postpartum meals tailored to your body's healing needs, herbal support, nervous system regulation, gentle bodywork, ancestral healing practices, and compassionate emotional support. I also bring a thoughtful eye to the home, helping with light housekeeping, tending to older siblings, and creating a peaceful environment where you can truly rest and recover. My intention is for every mother to feel deeply seen, cherished, and held during one of life's most sacred transformations. At this time, I am offering in-home postpartum doula services, allowing families to receive personalized, nurturing care in the comfort of their own homes.

What to expect

Practical support is often the foundation of my visits. This may include preparing nourishing, nutrient-dense meals designed to support postpartum healing, light housekeeping, organizing baby supplies, and helping create a calm, restorative home environment. Whether you need a warm meal waiting for you, an extra set of hands, or someone to entertain older siblings while you rest, I am here to ease the mental and physical load so you can focus on bonding with your baby and recovering. As a Clinical Social Worker, I also provide compassionate emotional support throughout the postpartum journey. Birth and early motherhood can bring immense love alongside unexpected emotions, grief, anxiety, identity shifts, and challenges. I offer a nonjudgmental space where you can process your birth story, celebrate your victories, navigate difficult moments, and simply be witnessed exactly as you are. You do not have to carry it all alone. My care is deeply rooted in ancestral wisdom and traditional postpartum practices. I offer postpartum rituals such as Closing of the Bones, herbal sitz baths, yoni steaming, placenta tincturing, and more. These practices are intended to help mothers feel grounded, supported, and gently welcomed into this new chapter of life. As an herbalist, I create customized herbal support based on your individual needs. This may include nourishing teas, tinctures, herbal infusions, and handcrafted sitz bath blends to promote healing, comfort, and restoration during the postpartum period. I believe plants have long been our allies in caring for new mothers, and I am honored to weave this knowledge into my practice. I also incorporate gentle bodywork and nervous system support to encourage relaxation, reduce stress, and help mothers reconnect with their bodies after birth. Sometimes the greatest gift is simply slowing down, taking a deep breath, and allowing yourself to receive care. Above all, my intention is for every mother I serve to feel seen, honored, and deeply held. My hope is that when I leave your home, you feel a little lighter, a little more nourished, and reminded that you were never meant to do this alone.

Working with Celia was one of the greatest gifts I gave myself after having my baby. From the moment she walked into our home, I felt like I could finally exhale. She has this incredible ability to notice exactly what needs tending to before you even have to ask. She prepared nourishing meals, quietly folded laundry, helped keep our home feeling peaceful, and always made sure I had water, snacks, and time to rest. But what meant the most was how she cared for me. She listened without judgment as I processed my birth story, held space for the hard emotions alongside the beautiful ones, and reminded me that I was doing an amazing job even on the days I couldn't see it myself. The herbal baths, bodywork, and Closing of the Bones ceremony were unlike anything I had ever experienced. I felt deeply honored, nurtured, and reconnected with myself after birth. It didn't feel like hiring someone to help... it felt like having an ancient village show up at my doorstep. If you're looking for someone who truly understands that postpartum is about caring for the mother as much as the baby, I cannot recommend Celia enough. Every new mother deserves to be cared for the way she cares for others.
