If you are second guessing rather you have a doula or not, trust me you definitely need one.

Before I hired Clara, I had no idea what the primary purpose of a Doula. I used to think it was quite similar to a midwife. Little did I know how indispensable that would be for my whole pregnancy journey not only for my physical health but beyond that, my mental support .

First, the initial visits, all the information before labor, the talk through the whole pregnancy making sure you are on the right state of mind. 24/7 availability to ask questions and to talk to her. Sometimes just to vent. She is there to listen, to calm you, to make your fears go away.

During labor, she is there to focus you. And believe me when I say you will need this. When you are experiencing contractions your body shuts down and you will benefit her guidance. 

Clara has nursing background that combined with her amazing personality makes her the perfect doula. 

She was incredible valuable for me during pregnancy, labor and after labor. Making sure to check upon us to ensure we were ok and always offering support.

Thank you Clara for your kindness and outstanding job!

Clara's service to us was extremely important. In addition to preparing us for the big day, she was present at all times. Always very affectionate, taking all doubts, and ready to give her best. We feel much more prepared and calm to have her with us, both in prenatal and postpartum. We feel that your service was complete and we lacked nothing, even doubts with the baby were always very helpful. Thank you very clear for everything, to you our immense thanks.

My pregnancy was not planned and even before it happened, I already talked and learned a lot with my friend Clara. From the moment I found myself pregnant I was welcomed, cared for and advised by her. Always giving me tips to be a healthy, calm, safe and confident pregnant woman. I had a very peaceful pregnancy and much of that tranquility is due to Clara's guidance. Regarding food, emotions and mainly reassuring me about childbirth. At all times she reminded me of how much childbirth is a natural, healthy process and that we women are prepared for it. When the big day came, Clara was there, beside me, giving me strength and tranquility. At Helena's first breastfeeding I had her presence knowing and loving by my side. So it was also in the first days and months, whenever a question arose, there she was guiding me in person or by phone. Today Helena is four years old and I count on Clara's help. Her guidance and affection were and are fundamental for me to understand myself as a mother. Much more than an excellent professional and Clara is an enlightened human being and gives us that light in this very special moment that is motherhood.
