About Awen

The word awen, of ancient Welsh origin, means flowing spirit and represents the inspirational muse of creativity. In Neo-Druidic tradition, its emblem symbolizes three rays of light relating to body, mind, and spirit—or love, wisdom, and truth.

Fluidity and creativity nurture the unique synergy between a birthing person and their baby. The process is, by nature, unpredictable. Birth demands absolute presence, in whatever shape and narrative it may take. By leaning in with love, trust, and respect for the birthing person’s inner wisdom, we honor this passage.

About Celene

I witnessed my first birth at home in Bali, Indonesia. Even as a child of three years old, the raw and powerful energy was transformative. Out of that energy, my sister was born, and I was gifted a life-long companion.

My life’s joy is to help birthing people so that they may bring their children into the world with gentleness and compassion.

My innate gifts combined with my formal education and passion for birth guided me to become a doula. I wear many hats in this role: educator, assistant, and friend. It is my deep belief that in respecting birth and the transition into parenthood, we honor birthing people, their babies, and life itself. 

It’s sacred. It’s magic. It’s awen.

My first loves, Yadi and Opie. Oh how our pets teach us so much about holding space and loving unconditionally!
