Meet Your Hypnobirthing Teacher
Hello! I'm an experienced hypnobirthing specialist and mother of four. I've been teaching birth preparation classes (hypnobirthing) for 12 years. In that time I have worked with expectant parents having all types of birth - from home birth to caesarean. My philosophy on birth preparation is that you should have a set of techniques to make it a better expereince for you - no matter how it happens, and whatever type of birth you are planning. I have no bias towards any type of birth - I only care that you feel supported and empowered to feel more confident and calm.
About Claire
I was first introduced to hypnobirthing when I was pregnant, back in 2011. After initially being a big sceptic, and doubtful of whether it would help me, I quickly became a big fan. I was able to remain calm and in control throughout the birth and was amazed at the difference it made for me - after having experienced labour and birth previously without using these techniques, I could see a massive difference. I then went on to train in hypnotherapy for birth on a Royal College of Midwives Accredited course, and have since gone on to work with hundreds of expectant parents, in all different situations. I teach in a very down-to-earth and realistic way, to ensure you can get something from your course.
Rather than focusing on the perfect birth, I aim to equip you with a set of coping techniques to deal with whatever birth brings on the day.
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 work with me during your journey from pre - pregnancy, to birth and beyond.
Whether you are planning a pregnancy, are already pregnant and looking to feel more relaxed, want to take a birth preparation course, or a parent looking to learn some mind calm techniques, we can find the right fit for you.
My 5* reviewed classes and courses offer you a bespoke and personalised experience, all from the comfort of your own home.
​I will work with you and your birthing partner, providing a fully tailored antenatal course, with one-to-one guidance as you practice hypnobirthing techniques.
​
We can schedule your sessions at times and dates to suit you. If you are taking 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.
​
I am happy to schedule a free discovery call of around 20 minutes, where you can ask any questions so we can decide if I am the right person to work with you.​
