About me
My name is Cecilia Goldaracena althoug my friends and family call me Ceci. I am a recognized birth and post natal Doula and breastfeeding counsellor. I am from Uruguay and a few years ago I moved to Cambridge with my husband after living in Washington DC, USA for 6 years. I been supporting families for several years in USA, Uruguay and UK.
My daughter was born in 2018 in Cambridge, we then moved to Aberystwyth, Wales for two years and now we live in Abingdon Oxfordshire, and I cover Oxford, Abingdon and Didcot area. Also I'm happy to support births and post natal families in London. I am a native Spanish-speaker and I also speak English and some Portuguese.
I am a firm believer that being a Doula is something you are born with, rather than something you become. It is who I am more than what I do. In the past I had always supported women and their families during birth and post-natal stages but it wasn't until I moved to Cambridge that I started my official Doula training. I took the “Developing Doulas” preparation course, where I got my Doula degree, and also, during that time, I met an amazing group of women from who I still learn from and I still work with. I have always felt passionate about birth, babies and Human evolution.
I have a great deal of experience with newborns and babies having also worked as full-time nanny some years ago
I love to support families during the all-important childbirth year.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions and/or if you would like to meet up for a chat.
