Testimonial for Claudia Parris CD(DONA)
Childbirth and life right after it is a difficult and vulnerable (though also beautiful) period, and I was lucky enough (and blessed enough) to find Claudia for support during this period. Claudia was my postpartum doula but also was a source of guidance during late pregnancy as well. Her warmth is tangible and her knowledge and intuition about taking care of newborns is apparent. Her encouragement helped to lessen my self-doubt, and she is very perceptive, catching on to my worries and comprehending my questions. I always felt like she was on the same wavelength as me. It is clear that she sees childbirth and the welcoming of new life as more than just a phyiscal, medical phenomenon and more than just a chore and obstacle to get through. She sees the beauty in these things and is also helpful on a practical level--teaching me simple but important things like how to hold the baby to relieve stomach pain and how to breastfeed in a way that's comfortable to mom and baby. I am so glad that Claudia was my doula--she helped to complete and make more memorable and joyful my experience of becoming a mother.
