Hey, I'm Claire, and I have been working closely with women through my work as a doula & Hypnobirthing teacher for the last five years. I became passionate about supporting women through pregnancy and birth after having my second baby.   It was only then that I realised just how little I knew about birth with my first and how, with a bit of knowledge and self belief, my first experience could have been very different.

Second time around I wasn’t taking any chances. Understanding more about the physiological process of birth, learning to connect to my breath, relax my mind and body and follow my instincts enabled me to have a truly empowering labour and one that would subsequently change the course of my career.

As a doula, breathwork teacher & motherhood coach I support many women and am in awe of the physiological and emotional processes that we embark upon as we enter motherhood.  My aim is to support you to ultimately have a better birth experience, to make informed choices for your birth, your baby and your postpartum phase, whilst having confidence in doing so.  Breathwork is a powerful tool that can help you stay centred, focused, and calm during labor and birth. Through specific breathing techniques and practices, I can support you to connect with your body's innate wisdom and rhythm, giving you the confidence to navigate the intensity of labor.  During our time together we will practice breathwork techniques that promote relaxation, reduce tension, and support the natural progression of labor, allowing you to embrace the wildness of birth. 

I offer birth preparation courses, hypnobirthing, birth and postnatal doula support, breathwork sessions, AromaTouch, Aromatherapy massage. 

As your birth doula I am here to support and empower you on your journey to motherhood. My mission is to provide compassionate care, guidance, and advocacy that honours your unique needs and preferences, helping you to achieve the birth experience you desire. Your birth experience is deeply personal, and having a well-prepared birth plan can help ensure that your preferences and wishes are honoured and respected by your birthing team. As your doula, I will work closely with you to create a plan that reflects your values, priorities, and goals for birth. From choosing your birth environment to exploring pain management options, I will provide guidance, support, and advocacy to help you make informed decisions and feel empowered throughout. 

As a postnatal doula, I am passionate about providing holistic support for new mums during the postpartum period. My role encompasses a range of services designed to nurture both you and your baby, ensuring a smooth transition into motherhood.  I offer guidance in various breathwork techniques tailored to the needs of new mothers, to ease stress and promote a shift towards calm. Using simple co-regulation techniques, I empower you to navigate the ups and downs of early motherhood with confidence.  I provide valuable insights and education on understanding newborn behaviour, establishing feeding and supporting you to develop a deeper understanding of your baby's needs. 

Making you a fresh cup of tea and preparing you a freshly made bed to retreat towards is all part of my care. I also offer nurturing light touch massage using specially selected essential oils to promote relaxation, and facilitate the body's natural healing processes, restoring balance to both body and mind.

I also offer over night support, up to two nights a week or on an adhoc basis, should you need to catch up on sleep.  In essence, my role as a postnatal doula is to provide unwavering support, guidance, and nurturing care as you embark on the incredible journey of motherhood. For as long as you need, I can be by your side, offering a warm, understanding and non-judgemental listening ear, guiding you into those early days of parenthood, giving you time to heal, to bond and cherish those first few weeks and months. 

Whether you're planning a home birth, hospital birth, or birth centre experience, I'm here to walk alongside you.
