Celina is a holistic body-mind specialist whose approach to mental-emotional wellness and trauma healing is grounded in compassion, mindfulness, wisdom, wholeness, and community. She is a clinical trauma specialist, certified trauma-informed yoga teacher, mindfulness-based mentor, and trained practitioner of Japanese Reiki energy healing. With over 20 years of experience in the wellness field, Celina has worked closely with women’s groups, incarcerated individuals, adults, youth, and families to address chronic stress, anxiety, depression, and other challenging emotional and mental states.
Regarded by clients as deeply compassionate and highly skilled, Celina is known for helping individuals heal from complex trauma and deep wounds that may originate in childhood. Her approach harmonizes science and spirituality to foster resilience and healing in the mind, body, and spirit. She integrates her training in clinical trauma and mindfulness-based contemplative psychotherapy with movement and energy practices such as qigong yoga, tribal dance, and Reiki.
Having overcome childhood trauma herself, Celina brings profound empathy, insight, and authenticity to her work, along with a gift for empowering others. She is committed to helping communities break the cycle of intergenerational and collective trauma and address the insidious effects of social media in creating, reinforcing, and perpetuating trauma.
Celina holds a doctorate and a master’s degree in early childhood development, with a focus on mental health and developmental disorders. She is also a certified facilitator for the Strengthening Families Program, recognized by the United Nations as an evidence-based preventive family initiative. Her academic achievements include a graduate diploma in media studies from Australia, a bachelor’s degree in political science, and professional certifications in commercial law and public relations from Singapore. She also trained with Mr. John Bittleston, founder of Terrific Mentors International.
Before dedicating herself fully to helping individuals heal and thrive, Celina held senior leadership roles with global brands such as Hilton Worldwide, Levi Strauss & Co., CapitaLand Group, and ST Engineering. Her diverse professional background informs her practical, grounded approach to holistic wellness and interpersonal health, helping clients develop perspectives and life skills that support them at work, home, and within their communities.
Celina divides her time between the United States and Asia. Her personal practices include moving meditation, qigong yoga, tribal dance, and resting with singing bowls. Outdoors, she enjoys trail biking, forest bathing, and walking with Indian clubs. Her favorite treats are American blueberry pie and Singapore pandan chiffon cake.
