Birth Doula Support
Your Birth, Fully Supported, Completely Present For You.
Your birth is an intimate, transformative moment. You deserve devoted, unhurried attention, entirely centred on you and your partner.
I intentionally limit the number of families I support to just one birth per month so that during your due month, my presence is centred fully on you and your partner. No divided focus. No competing commitments. Just calm, attentive care designed around your journey. This means, you can move through the final weeks of your pregnancy and into labour with a deep sense of reassurance — knowing that when you need me, I am there, steady and prepared.
My role is to create a space that feels grounded, supported, and quietly luxurious — where you feel confident, prioritised, and deeply cared for as you welcome your baby into the world.
Alexandra Mother to Simone - Google Review
“As soon as Claire joined us I felt so relaxed and at ease. Claire was able to make a plan with the midwives to help my labour move forward, she did this by positioning me in a way which moved my labour on almost instantly!’’
Why Choose My Support?
You are not just hiring a doula — you are gaining an experienced private perinatal professional, who will, no doubt turn into a trusted friend. Connection with your doula is key. You need to feel as excited with them as they need to feel with you!
I will help you both to feel safe, supported, and connected throughout this transformative experience, hold you both if difficult times arise and be there at every point you may need me.
You can book a free, no-obligation connection call with me today.

How I Support You.
First Connection
Once you have reached out to me and we have had an initial chat. I will always suggest a Zoom or coffee meeting in person as having a strong connection with the doula who will be there during your pregnancy, birth and those early days is key to feeling comfortable and safe in the birth room.

I provide gentle, confident guidance so they feel capable, prepared, and fully involved. Together, we create a calm, safe environment where everyone knows how to support you, helping you stay connected and confident throughout the birth.
Zachary’s birth, review by Cassandra & Harry.
‘At the birth, Claire was fantastic. She worked brilliantly alongside the midwives at the birth centre and with my partner throughout, and ensured that I was fully informed about my options every step of the way. I felt the hardest hour of my labour was when Claire went out of the room just to get some necessary refreshments - so comforting was her presence to me.

Lette Watson - Mother to Robyn
“At the intense times, Claire was there to wipe away my tears and reassure me. The massage, pressure and emotional support meant I felt more in control. Using the specific breathing Claire had taught me, i felt strong and knew i was going to meet my baby soon!’’
Lette gave birth to beautiful baby Robyn at home in a birth pool supported by me, her partner, Pete and the local home birth team from North Middlesex. It was an honour to be with them throughout pregnancy, birth and to be a small but important part of their journey to being a family of four.
You can read Lette’s birth story here on the blog.

The benefits of continuous support during labour and birth and the support of birth partners were highlighted in an updated 2019 Cochrane review, which analysed data from 26 studies across 17 countries involving more than 15,000 women. The outcomes below were observed for parents who were given continuous support from a doula or a second close labour companion.
● More likely to have a vaginal birth (without the need for caesarean, forceps or vacuum extraction)
● Less likely to use pain medications
● More likely to have shorter labours
● More likely to be satisfied with their birth and postnatal experience
● The babies may be less likely to have low five-minute Apgar scores, which assess babies’ health and well-being at birth and shortly afterward
● Increased equity directly through improved women’s empowerment and provision of culturally responsive care, and indirectly by reducing the over-medicalisation of childbirth
● Increased likelihood of initiating and establishing breastfeeding
A difficult labour, lack of support, an unplanned caesarean section or emergency treatment for the mother/birth parent or baby can all contribute to the risk of experiencing trauma. Doula support can therefore reduce the risk of experiencing perinatal trauma.
