What can I offer you as your doula...
Supporting you in birth
Having a doula is about more than having someone present at your birth, it’s about having a steady, trusted companion who supports you physically, emotionally, and practically throughout pregnancy, labour, and those first early weeks with your baby.
Here’s what I bring to the journey:
Continuous, Personalised Support
From the third trimester until around six weeks after birth, I’m here for you, in person messages, or calls whenever you need guidance, reassurance, or just someone to listen. My care is flexible, responsive, and tailored to you, so you never feel alone.
Hands-On, Embodied Birth Preparation
Together, we practice movement, positions, and breath in ways that help your body find its rhythm. Hands and knees, rocking, swaying, leaning—whatever feels right for you. We rehearse how your body will move in labour so that by the time your baby arrives, you feel grounded, connected, and confident in your own strength and instincts.
Transformational Breathwork
Breathwork is at the heart of my approach—it’s not just a technique, it’s full-body preparation.
Through guided practices, we:
Release tension and calm your nervous system when fear or doubt show up
Build resilience and presence, giving you tools for labour and early parenthood
Practise responses that prepare you for the real-life intensity of birth
Birth Support You Can Trust
From the first signs of labour until you’re settled with your baby, I’ll be by your side—offering calm, advocacy, and reassurance. I support your partner too, helping them feel confident in their role. With my presence, guidance, and breathwork coaching, you’ll have someone who knows your wishes, understands your body, and can respond in the moment.
Postnatal Care
Birth is just the start. I’ll visit you at home, giving space to reflect on your birth, support your recovery, and answer questions. Beyond that, I’m available by call or message for six weeks, because babies don’t keep office hours, and neither does true support.
Breathwork very much continues here too. It becomes a tool for recovery, emotional regulation, and calm presence during those early days. It’s not just for birth, it’s for life with your baby, for your strength, and for your confidence as a parent.
Enhanced, Premium Support
For women who want deeper preparation, my enhanced package includes additional antenatal sessions, personalised breathwork plans and guided recordings. It’s about taking birth preparation and early parenthood readiness to the next level, transforming your experience from “just coping” to feeling truly empowered.
“If a doula were a drug, it would be unethical not to use it.” – John H. Kennell, MD
Postnatally
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 behavior, 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.
Over night support, up to two nights a week or on an adhoc basis is also available, 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.
“Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making mothers… strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength.” -

The Enhanced Package – £2400
Everything in the Standard Package, plus my full Hypnobirthing and Breathwork course or Antenatal Breastfeeding Education, depending on what you need.
If you’re new to hypnobirthing, we’ll dive into relaxation, visualisation, and self-hypnosis techniques to help you feel calm, confident, and in control during birth. If you’ve already done hypnobirthing elsewhere, we’ll focus instead on those early days with your baby, newborn behaviour, breastfeeding positions, latch techniques, how to establish a strong milk supply, and managing common challenges. This way, you’ll feel fully prepared and confident when it comes to feeding your baby.
In addition, you’ll get access to a full library of resources—hypnosis tracks, relaxation scripts, a detailed manual, and extra support materials to guide you through both birth and breastfeeding.

"After my birth circumstances changed we approached Claire to be our doula. We had previously experienced a loss and a traumatic experience postnatally, so I was carrying a huge amount of fear into this birth.
Claire listened without judgement and signposted me to get further support via someone she knew that did the three step rewind programme. During our birth she was empathetic, kind and also gave me the encouragement I needed at times when I felt I couldn’t continue. She said and did exactly what I needed, when I needed it without me asking.”
