kind words
I am very thankful for the attention and care I received while working with Cella. Highest recommendation to a very skillful and present practitioner. — TT, Seattle WA
Cella is a skilled professional and has a friendly demeanor. She has a calming presence and really cares about her clients. She makes an individual feel special and really listens to that person’s concerns. I highly recommend her. — CL, Seattle WA
Working with Cella as my menopause doula was an incredible experience. She was so knowledgeable, attentive, and patient, and it was clear how much she truly cared. She provided excellent resources, took the time to thoroughly explain everything, and helped put my mind at ease during a challenging transition. I’m so grateful for her support! — LN, Tacoma WA
Cella is a skilled, supportive, and insightful coach. I’m grateful for the opportunity to work with her, and I’d recommend her highly to anyone who sorta ‘knows what to do’ to get healthier, but somehow is just really stuck anyway. Cella’s approach invites trust and immediately expanded my sense of what’s possible. She helped me connect to the bigger WHY of wellness that was inspiring to me, and offered a safe place to shape goals that were both meaningful and do-able. Her blend of compassion and accountability were the perfect mix for me. Time is a funny thing. On the one hand, 12 weeks isn’t that much time. On the other hand, after feeling pretty stuck for a couple of years, in the past 3 months of working with Cella I’ve been able to make some substantive changes, and I can see some meaningful shifts in how I pattern my life. I have been able to bring a joyful focus to my health and wellness in a way that feels foundational to how I want to show up in my work and in my life, and I’m really grateful for Cella’s part in that. — SL, Bellingham WA
My experience of working with Cella has been relaxing and relieving every time. Sometimes I come to my appointment with a heavy load on my back emotionally and physically. After my session, I always go home feeling lighter. — AL, Seattle WA
Working with Cella has been so freeing. Her health coaching series is well planned and helped me to become aware of deeper negative feelings, release them, and move into a more positive outlook. Cella is so warm, accepting and supportive; I felt very comfortable working with her. It is rare to find someone who has the training, experience, and natural gifts of healing all levels of our being: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. Her insights have opened doors for me, and I'm deeply grateful for her. I highly recommend her to anyone who is seeking to live a fuller, more satisfying life. — KW, Sequim WA
Cella was the greatest gift to us in the postpartum period. I can’t articulate how much we adore her. She helped us out after the birth of our third child. We had never had a postpartum doula before and now I recommend it to everyone I know having a child, whether it’s your first or not. She is warm, knowledgeable, and supremely helpful. She has the incredible skill of seeing exactly what needs to happen for things to flow smoothly and jumping in to do that thing. (No small feat in a home with three kids under 5!) Sometimes that was rocking the baby, sometimes it was playing with one of the bigger kids or helping them brush teeth, sometimes it was dishes or laundry. Her instincts are unfailing and her communication excellent. Above all, I am deeply grateful for her openness and warmth of spirit. It was an emotional, often challenging time for our family, and Cella held space for all of it with love and understanding. She is an absolute gem. — NO, Seattle WA
I recently had the great pleasure of experiencing Cella’s compassionate coaching. Wow, compassionate is definitely the word to describe her work. I have a tendency to be hard on myself (don’t we all). This feels especially true when I feel like I am NOT meeting the goals I have set for myself. Cella holds a gentle, spacious, compassionate presence for exploration. She listens. One of the biggest things I discovered from our time together was that when I can set goals for myself that feel lower in pressure, I can accomplish more. Things get done in a way that feels spacious but still holds me accountable. It was so helpful to have her support to help me navigate some challenging issues. I’m forever grateful. — SS, Seattle WA
Over the past year I’ve been noticing changes in my cycle, hormonal migraines, sleep disturbances, and brain fog. As a 52 year old woman, it occurred to me that I was likely perimenopausal. I was overwhelmed by all of the conflicting information and found it difficult to navigate my choices. It was a relief to have Cella’s support. The resources and expertise she’s provided have made a difference. Cella really listens to me and I feel empowered in how I move through this transition and initiation as a woman. I feel like I have a trusted guide as I make the choices that are best for me. I now feel a deeper connection to my own body and a curious anticipation of the changes to come. Every woman should give herself the gift of working with a menopause doula. I wholeheartedly recommend Cella’s services. — CC, Reading MA
I read recently that taking time to “notice the sources of intuition that help you in your decision making” is vital for journeying through or keeping inventory of my “different selves”. Spirit, body and mind. Flourish became that for me, a source and a listening to me. It helped me notice how I hold my vision of myself. Cella was available for my heart (Bless her). I set goals and developed tools to learn to live this new way of life for me. Flourish nourished areas of my life that weren’t even on my vision list, acknowledged my “this is where I’m at!”, left me responsible for my intentions and provided me space to slow down, speed up, stand still, make mistakes and forgive myself. Highly recommended. — JC, Chimucum WA
Cella was such a comforting, grounding presence in my life. Such a treasure. — LK, Seattle WA
