Hi, my name is Cielo.

My name is Cielo Diaz, a mom, grandmother, and doula. I have always had a passion for helping people and loved being supportive of women throughout pregnancy and birth. I followed my heart and began the process of becoming a doula. I am currently working on my DONA certification as a birth doula, as well as my postpartum doula certification through Birth Arts International.

It is my desire to help inform and empower women about the amazing potential of their bodies, and to work as a guide to help them through pregnancy, childbirth, and the newborn stage. I pledge to serve and support all families. I am deeply honored to be invited to every birth I attend. As your doula I will be a caring non-judgmental and supportive presence to help ensure you have the birth you want.

Birth Doula

The Heart of Doula Care

What is a Doula?

A Doula is a trained professional who provides continuous emotional, physical, and informational support to a family before, during and shortly after childbirth to help them achieve the healthiest, most satisfying experience possible. Doulas do not perform clinical tasks, such as fetal heart rate assessment or cervical examinations. Parents, who choose to be supported by a doula, tend to have lower rates of medical interventions during their labors, and less likely to have a caesarean birth.

My Doula Philosophy

  • Birth is a normal process, not a pathological ‘problem’ to be solved.
  • You have the right to be an active participant in your own birth experience; that means being allowed to make informed choices about your practitioners, your birth setting, interventions (or lack thereof), attendees, etc.
  • Partners are as emotionally invested in their children’s births as laboring women are; they too need support in order to minimize anxiety and feel engaged with the birth process to the extent that they and their partner wish.
  • Provide a satisfying birth experience, one in which the laboring woman feels respected, empowered and supported.
  • I will help you to self-advocate before and during your labor and birth, but I cannot be your voice.
  • I believe in evidence-based practice.

    “Throughout my pregnancy, Cielo went above and beyond what was expected of a doula.

    Cielo was my doula for the birth of my third child. She emailed me regularly to inquire how I was feeling and even helped me find a prenatal yoga class. Cielo was with me through the entire labor process when my daughter was born. She was a very supportive and calming influence and was very attentive to my needs. I wholeheartedly recommend Cielo as a doula and would use her again without reservation.”
