John Murray - Father to Louie Nov ‘23 Barnet Hospital.

“ Claire was an absolute lifeline during the birth of our second son. From a dad's perspective, she transformed the entire experience and made it incredibly special for our family.

My wife wanted a doula for this birth, given our less-than-ideal experience with our first child. We couldn't have made a better decision than choosing Claire. She was not just a doula but a true partner in this journey. Claire was like a fountain of knowledge, providing us with vital information and guidance at every step.

What sets Claire apart is her unwavering support and care. She was there when we needed her most, offering a reassuring presence that made the entire process smoother. At the same time, she respected our space and needs, allowing us to navigate the birth experience in our own way. Claire went above and beyond to ensure my wife's comfort and well-being, as well as to keep me informed and involved.

I cannot recommend Claire highly enough. She is an exceptional doula, a true professional, and a wonderful person. If you're considering a doula for your birth experience, look no further. Claire is the one you want by your side. Our family will forever be grateful for her support!”
