Your Body Births

Hi! I’m Claire, and first of all I want to say how wonderful it is to have you visiting my page, because it means you’re looking into your options for preparing for the birth of your child.

I believe in walking alongside you as you prepare to birth your baby, sharing knowledge and tools, with the desire that you achieve the positive and empowering birth we ALL deserve.

I’ve been a maternity nurse caring for parents and babies in the first few days after birth for over ten years and I love helping new parents to build confidence in their instinctive parenting wisdom whilst also knowing where to find good support when they need it.

I’m also a mum of two. I completed the Hypnobirthing Australia™ Positive Birth Program with my partner when I was pregnant with our first, and we walked out of our last session so excited and ready to have our amazing hospital water birth. Our baby had other ideas however, and we ended up having a rather quick baby’s choice birth - accidental homebirth on the bedroom floor!

It was incredible.

Thanks to the preparation we had done with the Positive Birth Program, neither of us panicked, and we knew exactly what to do. I often get asked the story of the birth and I am passionate about sharing what hypnobirthing helped us achieve – a beautiful, serene, empowered birth - even though it wasn’t what we had planned!

And it wasn’t just an amazing birth for me, my partner tells everyone how positive, amazing and special the birth of our child was.

I am so passionate about being part of changing the culture and the narrative of birth through bringing more awareness to your rights in childbirth and informed decision making. I truly believe that having knowledge about the physiology of birth, how your body is designed to work to bring your baby into the world, plus having the tools to work with your body in this amazing process, helps you anticipate your birth not with fear, but with joy and excitement.

Everyone deserves a positive birth, and you are no exception.

Our second baby’s birth was a beautiful waterbirth!

Birth can and should be the most amazing day of your life. Bringing your baby into the world is the biggest thing you and your body will ever do. Don’t leave it to chance or someone else’s ideas of what you ‘should’ do. You deserve to go into your birth empowered to make the decisions that are right for you every step of the way.

The day you meet your baby can be beautiful. I would love to help you have a birth you’ll want to remember for the rest of your life.
