Testimonial for Clara Love, CD(DONA), LEC
Clara was truly a godsend during our pregnancy and at the birth. My partner and I don't have family nearby whom could guide us or be w/ us at the birth due to covid restrictions, so as first time parents it was really important for us to have a trusted and experienced source we could lean on. Clara was it and more. We truly didn't know how much we didn't know about the birthing process (it's a lot!) and all the decisions we have control over - Clara lovingly guided us through it all. On the day of she was so readily available and communicative throughout the process, until it was time for her to join us (which was all totally my call - she was ready to show up at hour 1!). And then she showed up and immediately transformed the experience - from creating a beautiful physical ambiance to providing a loving, serene energy for not only myself but my partner too. He felt so at peace and was able to focus on the actual birth, rather than nervous over the complications we were facing.
Clara was just as much there for him as she was for me and our baby.
Every single birth is unique but in my case, I truly feel she saved me from having to do a c-section by taking command of the process (trying different positions, guiding my breathing and pushing, etc.) before the doctor made the final call - it made all the difference and I was able to have the birth I wanted. May not always be the case but she was truly an advocate for us and is experienced enough to know how much to push and when.
I could write a whole book about what a wonderful addition Clara was to our birthing journey. She was truly made for this role of help mommas and babies meet each other.
