1. One of you should hold the scruff of her neck
while the other gently clips her claws. Kittens are carried around by the scruff of their necks by their moms, and it's ingrained in them to relax when that area is firmly held.

Also be very quiet and talk softly to her when you clip the claws. I find that if I let my cats sniff the clipper before I start clipping that relaxes them too - they learn that the clipper won't hurt them and this has become routine.
