"Empowering your journey into motherhood

with gentle guidance and support"

Hi, I'm Claire

​I’m a mum of two and a passionate birth and postpartum doula. I believe that birth is a natural and transformative experience. With the right preparation and caring support, you can approach birth with confidence and a sense of calm. Every birth story is unique, and every woman deserves to feel respected, cared for, and surrounded by love as she brings her baby into the world.
You are not alone on this journey:

I am here to support you every step of the way.

"To change the world, we must first change the way the babies are being born"

Why do you need 
a doula?

The word "Doula" is a greek word that means "the one who serves".

​

In ancient times, women were giving birth at home and were often attended by a midwife. Laboring women were also nurtured and cared for by a network of female family members, neighbors and friends during the birthing process and the weeks after baby was born. However, in our modern society, continuous support during and after labor has often become the exception rather than the routine.

 

Here is what the research says about continuous support during labour, and the benefits of having a doula by your side during childbirth, and the weeks after your baby arrives.

 

BENEFITS OF DOULA CARE DURING LABOR AND BIRTH:

​

  • 31% more satisfying birth experience

  • 39% decrease in risk of cesarean birth

  • 10% fewer interventions with pain relief medication

  • 15% more chances of having a spontaneous vaginal birth

  • Labor is, on average, 41 minutes shorter

​

BENEFITS OF DOULA CARE DURING POSTPARTUM:

​

  • Increase rate of breastfeeding at 6 weeks postpartum​

  • Reduced anxiety at 6 weeks postpartum

  • Increase confidence in parenting skills

Doula support

Claire made my birth's experience a positive and memorable one.

During the birth, Claire was there from the beginning to the end. She was very supportive. She encouraged me and helped me stay focused and calm. She also helped me plan my birth and prepare for this important and unique moment. She is a competent professional and was an invaluable source of information and support during my pregnancy. I am very grateful to have had her by my side.
