Testimonial for Claudia Parris CD(DONA)
Claudia was such a blessing during my pregnancy, labor and post partum. Originally I wanted a doula due to Covid restrictions in the hospital which turned out to be a positive experience as Claudia became like family. I chose her as my doula because of her long list of positive testimonials that were very moving to read especially as a nervous first time mom. From our first visit she made us feel very comfortable. She was available during and after my pregnancy and genuinely wanted to be there for us as a guiding voice. We did not partake in any labor classes because I feel she prepared us so well and recommended many resources. Because of her support I was able to labor at home for majority of my labor. Upon arriving at the hospital it was so reassuring to see a familiar face who know about me and my labor plan. Thanks to Claudia I was able to have the labor I didn't even know I wanted - natural and unmedicated. Although I felt as ready as I could be and my husband was an amazing support- Claudia knew which interventions and non pharmacological pain measures to bring out and when in order to keep labor moving along. It was such an empowering experience and I can't recommend her enough. She is amazing and I hope you consider her beautiful soul to be a part of your most important day.
