menopause doula care
compassionate support for a changing body and inner landscape
An empowered heart is one filled with self love. ~ Amy Leigh Mercree
Menopause is a significant life transition - one that can bring both challenge and opportunity. As you move through perimenopause, menopause, or post-menopause, your body and mind are undergoing real and meaningful change. Having thoughtful support can make all the difference.
As your menopause doula and coach, I offer personalized, compassionate support to help you navigate this transition with greater understanding, steadiness, and self-trust. Our work together unfolds over time, creating space to slow down, ask questions, and better understand what your body is communicating as changes emerge and evolve.
Together, we'll explore both the practical and personal dimensions of menopause. Alongside evidence-informed information and symptom support, we'll make room for reflection, awareness, and the deeper questions that often arise during times of change.
This care is not about fixing or pushing through symptoms. It's about being supported as you navigate a meaningful transition - building trust in yourself and finding your footing along the way.
understanding the larger context
Menopause doesn't happen in isolation. It is part of a lifelong process of change that began long before symptoms appeared and continues well beyond your final menstrual period.
Understanding where you are within this transition can bring clarity, perspective, and compassion to what you're experiencing. Together, we'll explore how these changes may be influencing your energy, mood, sleep, stress levels, relationships, and overall sense of well-being.
Open, informed conversation is one of the most powerful tools we have. For too long, menopause has been misunderstood, minimized, or simply not discussed. Here, you'll find a space that welcomes your questions, honors your experience, and offers clear, evidence-informed support without judgment, fear, or confusion.
support shaped around you
No two menopause experiences are alike. Whether you're seeking relief from hot flashes, improving sleep, stabilizing mood, navigating uncertainty, or simply wanting to feel more grounded and connected to yourself, support is shaped by your needs and priorities in the moment.
Rather than following a fixed plan, our work is responsive and collaborative. Sessions may include education, reflective conversation, gentle body-based awareness, and practical support to help you make choices that align with your body, your values, and your life.
moving through change with support
Knowledge can be empowering, but information alone is not always enough. Meaningful support also includes space to reflect, integrate, and respond to change in ways that feel sustainable and authentic.
You've been adapting to change your whole life. This transition is no different. While menopause can be challenging, it can also offer an opportunity for deeper self-understanding, renewed priorities, and a different relationship with yourself.
You don't have to navigate it alone. I'm here to walk alongside you, offering continuity of care, compassionate presence, and practical support as you move into what's next.

postpartum doula care

“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!”
“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.”
“Cella was such a comforting, grounding presence in my life.
Such a treasure.”
