Hello!

I’m Clare – a mum, doula and childbirth educator. As a doula of 16 years, I have had the honour of supporting many women during labour and birth and without doubt, the ones who fare best are those who have a realistic understanding of what to expect, how to work with their bodies and minds and who have belief in their own ability and power.

The process of labour and birth is one of life’s rites of passage – it has the opportunity to teach us to surrender, dig deep, to trust, to find what we need within us and celebrate the power we are stepping into. When we cross the threshold from maiden to mother we are forever transformed – none of us forget birthing our babies and the process we went through to bring them earthside.  We and they, deserve a memory that is at least positive, if not beautiful!

Birth is sacred – it and the vessel through which it occurs, us mummas, should be revered, honoured, respected and trusted to do the job we know we and our babies are innately wired for.  Hypnobirthing Australia’s positive birth program helps us show caregivers what we are made of!
