Birthing Parents Club

My husband and I did Claire’s hypnobirthing course online last year and would highly recommend it. Claire was knowledgeable, warm, friendly, non-judgemental and open minded to all birth preferences. She presented the facts in a clear and accessible way and all the class attendees - who had a range of experiences and preferences - comfortable to participate. She also had a lot of excellent recommendations for books, podcasts and resources and her knowledge of the hospitals and their policies in and around Edinburgh was particularly useful. I would definitely recommend to any expecting parents!

I loved Claire’s hypnobirthing class, not only did it help me mentally and physically prepare for the arrival of my daughter, but it was also fascinating learning everything that our bodies do. How they change, grow and adapt. Claire is a great teacher and I couldn’t recommend her enough.

Claire was brilliant to work with. I had a lot of anxiety due to past traumatic birth experiences and Claire worked very hard to empower me and put me at ease. She suggested many approaches and had loads of good ideas that I hadn't considered which helped me approach birth much more positively. We had many good conversations which prepared me brilliantly when I ended up in labour prematurely. I felt very in control, despite it being different from everything we had planned. Thank you Claire!

Claire was a fantastic doula for us. She was generous with her time in the sessions before the birth, and helped us greatly during the hospital experience. She came late in the evening on a Saturday to the hospital, helped with all sorts of tasks that one wouldn’t normally think about, kept us positive in difficult moments, and provided us with some valuable time to recuperate afterwards. We would highly recommend Claire.

Claire was awesome, so knowledgeable about pre and post birth information. I'm someone who suffers from bad anxiety so I was super nervous about the whole birthing experience, however Claire helped me feel relaxed and answered all the questions I had. She made every meeting a fun experience and I would recommend her to anyone who needs that reassurance and guidance.Claire creates a network for mums who can all talk about their troubles pre and post birth. I went from feeling really anxious about birth, to much more positive and confident about what was going to happen regarding induction all the way to delivering the placenta. Claire also did a session on breastfeeding as well which again was really informative as I knew I wanted to breastfeed.I feel like if I was to go through it all again I would definitely recommend using Claire's knowledge and practice's to help me. Not only have I gained more knowledge by the end of all the sessions, I have also gained some new friends.

I highly recommend Claire's hypnobirthing course! I had a traumatic birth experience with my first born. I was uneducated about birth and pregnancy, I was scared and not in control during giving birth. I signed up to Claire's hypnobirthing course to educate myself and to change my mindset about birth.But I got so much more out of this course. Awesome support during and after the course from Claire. She was with me (on the phone) right until I got into the labour ward! I met some awesome mums who are still a great support of mine. Claire also did a course on breastfeeding that set me up on my breastfeeding journey! Can't thank you enough Claire!

Claire was so informed and understanding in our sessions prior to the birth. There was no silly question" which made me feel really at ease. She is so likeable and personable which meant that having her at the birth of our daughter wasn't awkward in any way. Throughout the birthing process she was really hands on
