She also holds a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education and is CAPPA-trained..
Since 2013, Celina has dedicated her career to supporting families during the fourth trimester—providing tools, education, and guidance to help parents build confidence and create nurturing, functional routines tailored to their unique needs. Her postpartum practice emphasizes maternal and infant mental health, respectful interactions, and responsive, respectful parenting—principles she also embraces in her own life as a mother.
Celina’s experience includes working with high-profile clientele, “non-traditional” households, and families practicing alternate parenting pedagogies such as Waldorf, Montessori, and RIE. She has extensive experience providing care through 24/7 shifts, rotational team structures, and international travel. Celina firmly believes in honoring parental intuition and is passionate about helping families establish systems that support their daily lives—not just in theory, but in practice.
In addition to her hands-on work with families, Celina is the founder of the Denver Book Club for Postpartum Professionals—a growing community initiative that fosters networking, job sharing, continued education, and meaningful peer support for those working in postpartum care. Through this group, she champions connection and collaboration among care providers, ultimately enriching the quality of care offered to families throughout the Denver Metro area.
Outside of her professional work, Celina enjoys exploring the world with her family, experimenting in the kitchen, and nurturing her health through fitness and the arts.
