Cybil Gilbertson

I received my BA in Dance from UCSB, in 1997. I have been an employed professional dancer for 11 years. I am also a Certified Massage Therapist, Pilates and Yoga Instructor with over 10 years of teaching and practiced movement arts experience. She recently returned from a year and a half residency at The Esalen Institute,in Big Sur, CA, where I studied Gestalt Communication, Early Childhood Development, Dance, Yoga, Meditation, Breath Work, Bodywork and several healing arts modalities. Although I am a new Doula, I feel confident that my experience, practice and education in the physical and emotional realms will assist me in supporting mothers and their partners to envision and engage a positive birthing experience. I offer a sensitive and authentic desire to guide, educate, inform and empower the birthing couple throughout this very special and expansive unfolding!
