moderN birth preparation for a positive & powerful experience
Hello! I’m Claire. I’m a doula & hypnobirthing teacher and founder of Birthing Parents Club. I live in Edinburgh with my husband, toddler daughter & mad spaniel, Biscuit.
My approach is straight-talking: there’s no fluff or flowers here! I’m passionate about making sure people are super informed but my approach is chilled out & casual. You can expect to have fun and feel at ease with me, whether that’s at a group Hypnobirthing class or doing private birth prep as your doula.
I believe that birth is powerful and that it is pregnant people who should be in control of that power.
Your body; your baby; your birth; your choice.
What do i know?!
I have trained with some absolute powerhouses; amazing changemakers of the birth world. They are doing incredible things and I’m so excited to be a part of the journey. From hypnobirthing & hypnotherapy to safety for LGBT+ families & expert-led birth physiology…
HYPNOBIRTHING
What is hypnobirthing? And who is it for? People quite often have an idea in their heads that hypnobirthing is for certain kinds of people (hippies…) or certain kinds of births (home births…) so let’s clear that up right now:
Hypnobirthing is for everyone and every birth. If you have a brain, and are pregnant then Hypnobirthing is for you.
DOULA
Everyone who births would benefit from the support of a doula. The word doula literally means ‘to serve’ and the feeling of being doula-ed is one of complete support; allowing you to feel secure in yourself, content & confident in your ability to birth your baby, however that may be. Your doula’s job is to make sure that you feel and that you are seen & heard.
