Meet Your Hypnobirthing Teacher
Hello! I'm an experienced Hypnobirthing specialist and Mother of four. For the past 13 years, I've been teaching birth preparation classes and supporting expectant parents through all types of birth - from home birth to caesarean. My approach to birth preparation is simple: you should have a toolbox of techniques to help make your birth experience a positive one for you - no matter how it happens. I have no bias towards any type of birth; my focus is on helping you feel confident, calm, and prepared, no matter what type of birth you are planning. Get in touch to find out how we can work together.

About Claire
I first discovered hypnobirthing when I was pregnant, back in 2011. At the time, I was a complete skeptic, and wasn't sure it would make a difference - but it completely transformed my birth experience. I was able to stay calm and in control throughout the birth and was amazed at the difference it made for me compared to my previous births without these tools.
After my own experience using hypnobirthing, I went on to train in Hypnotherapy for birth through a Royal College of Midwives-accredited course. Since then, I've had the privilege of supporting hundreds of expectant parents, helping them through all kinds of births.
​
I teach in a very down-to-earth and realistic way, so that everyone can take something valuable from the course.
Rather than focusing on the perfect birth, I aim to equip you with a set of coping techniques to deal with whatever your birth may bring. I believe nobody should ever feel they have failed at hypnobirthing or that it has failed them if their birth doesn't go to plan. This is why my focus will always be on giving you a set of tools and techniques that you can use to enhance your birth experience, no matter how it happens.
​
I am also a Hypnotherapist, Counsellor, and BWRT -Brainworking Recursive Therapy Practitioner.
As well as birth preparation, I also work with people with a wide range of fears, phobias, and self-confidence issues.

How We Can Work Together
​
I offer a variety of ways to support you on your journey from pre - pregnancy, throughout pregnancy, to birth and beyond.
Whether you are planning a pregnancy, already pregnant and looking to feel more relaxed and confident, looking for a birth preparation course, or a parent wanting to learn some mind-calming techniques, we can find the right fit for you.
My 5* reviewed courses offer you a bespoke, personalised experience, all delivered from the comfort of your own home, with individual support.
​I will work with you and your birthing partner to provide a fully tailored antenatal course with one-to-one guidance as you practice hypnobirthing techniques.
​
Sessions can be scheduled at times and dates to suit you. If you choose a hypnobirthing course, I can travel to you within a reasonable distance of Teesside, or we can work together online anywhere in the UK and beyond. I do occasionally run group sessions in venues around the North East.
My support does not end after your course - you can contact me if you need any additional guidance up until the birth.
​
If you're ready to feel more confident, calm, and supported as you approach birth, I'd love to work with you. You're very welcome to get in touch with any questions you may have.
