Testimonial for Clarissa Alves, CD
Me and Clarissa became friends about three years ago, and when I heard she was going to become a doula, I knew that when I planned to get pregnant again, she would 100% be my doula. So when I got pregnant, I hired her to be my online doula because she’s in New Jersey and I’m in Maine, but it quickly turned into an in-person doula for birth. I just had to meet her and have her here in person for my birth. She keeps it professional and gives lots and lots of information when needed. She planned to come the first of September, but because I was having prodromal labor, she came a few days early just to be safe. Once she got here, she had me up and moving around to get me labor-ready. The morning of my birth, things were moving fast, and all I can say is if it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t have made it to the birth center. She was so amazing and helped so much! I was in a lot of pain, and it hit so quickly that I didn’t have time to process what was really happening. As we got to the birth center, I had to push immediately, and she was right there by my side, making sure everything went smoothly and making sure she was capturing everything in the moment. She was amazing, supportive, and so compassionate about her work. I very much recommend her for a doula if you are looking for one! And I will be having her again for a doula for sure!
