I can't imagine what birth + postpartum would have been like without Clara's presence through my birth journey. She has a grounded, highly attuned and intuitive awareness, which was essential for me to surrender deeply during birth. Clara is highly skilled at anticipating needs before being asked, which not only came in handy for birth but especially for postpartum care.
Some of the things that made her presence invaluable at my birth were how she showed my partner some ways to support me physically, how she set up the room so my partner could focus on being with me, and how she massaged my calves + feet after delivery—honestly that was godsend!
As my postpartum doula, I so appreciated having space held for me to process the journey into motherhood. She was a shepherd and an essential thread to how my daughter emerged into the world. It was a blessing to be able to recount the birth, to know that she was there for my baby's first breath, and to then have her presence continue in the weeks following birth.
I felt safe, seen, and comfortable to be my authentic pregnant, birthing, and postpartum self with Clara. Believe me when I say she was born to be a birthworker! :)
