Testimonial for Clara Love, CD(DONA), LEC
My husband and I agree Clara is an angel on earth sent to guide mothers and their partners through the craziness that is pregnancy, birth and transition into motherhood.
No matter what type of birth you are planning, Clara is a valuable addition and free of judgment which was so important to me and made me feel confident and safe. This was my first child, and Clara was there by our side helping us as we navigated pregnancy, labor and made decisions that were right for us to get our boy here healthy and safe!
From the beginning, Clara and I clicked, and I knew she was the right person for us to work with. She was extremely supportive through all the ups and downs of the pandemic and kept us up to date as policies constantly changed. But more importantly, she kept us focused on enjoying the pregnancy and planning for an empowered and informed birth experience.
My husband and Clara made the dream team. She works with partners just as much as you to teach them techniques and answer questions they may have. My husband is now a huge doula advocate! I feel that having Clara with us gave my partner the support he needed to be fully present for me emotionally.
The two in-person appointments closer to the birth day are very comforting and valuable. Clara is a wealth of knowledge on all things pregnancy and birth! Her presence is positive and calming.
Clara was by our side every second of labor and extremely respected by our staff at UCSF (and we had 3 shift changes!) One of our delivery nurses came to visit us in postpartum, and mentioned how amazing Clara was.
After birth, she is still there for you, your partner and your new addition except now as a friend sharing in the joys of new motherhood. I would work with Clara again in a heartbeat, and strongly recommend her!
