Hello!

 I’m Claire, a Certified Postnatal Doula based in Berkhamsted and Tring. I live in Tring, Hertfordshire with my husband and two young daughters. 

Congratulations on your pregnancy, or if you’re a parent already, congratulations on your new arrival(s)! Becoming a parent is a life changing experience, one that can be exciting and empowering, but one that might also find you feeling anxious and overwhelmed, alongside a host of other emotions. It’s normal to feel this way, I know I certainly did! 

As a postnatal doula I am here to help alleviate those anxieties and support you towards a positive postnatal experience and a calm, confident and enjoyable start to parenthood. Whether you're a first-time parent, or you've been here before, whatever your choices or challenges, I am here to support you every step of the way. I am here to offer you practical and emotional support, alongside gentle encouragement, and guidance as you find your own path into parenthood. I will help you to have confidence in trusting your own instincts and support you, without judgement, in making the right choices for you and your family. I believe strongly in the power of personalised care and support and offer bespoke postnatal doula support services, including overnight care, that are tailored to your own unique choices and needs. 

I also offer specialised support for NICU babies and their families. Our youngest daughter was born prematurely, at 30 weeks and spent the first two months of her life in hospital. It was a challenging and life changing experience. I was lucky to have some amazing support but looking back now I realise that even with this support, those early days were tough - tougher than they needed to be. In hindsight, we should have hired a postnatal doula, but isn't hindsight a wonderful thing! I am grateful for my experience though as it became my own inspiration for becoming a doula. 

My motivation to support you is fuelled by my passion of knowing and understanding the benefits of personalised care and support when you need it most. It is important to remember that when a baby is born so too is a mother and that you too need care, love, and support and that with this, you can thrive! 

I would love to be your calming and reassuring support on this journey into parenthood - please get in touch to find out more. I am fully insured and DBS checked and also hold a certificate in paediatric first aid. 

I look forward to hearing from you! Claire x 

Client Testimonials

Her attentiveness, knowledge and calming compassionate nature really helped me and my husband take the step naturally into parenthood. She was always there when I needed a chat, cry, hug or nap! She gave such great advice and genuinely the nicest person with such an kind and caring nature, her passion really shines through. I couldn’t recommend her more." Andrea, Buckinghamshire. 

"We had the pleasure of having Claire's support for our firstborn daughter over the first months. Claire is uniquely gifted in her profession and combines practical advice with taking care of the baby, providing real relief to parents. Her strong listening skills and open communication made us feel understood and reassured in our journey. We hope to have Claire's support for our next child and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional, passionate and caring doula." Magdalena, Berkhamsted. 

"Claire is absolutely brilliant. Nothing is too much and was a fantastic support to me and my son. Claire helped me gain confidence in looking after my son as a single mum. Would highly recommend Claire if you're looking for a doula." Rania, Buckinghamshire. 

"We don't have any family nearby, so imagining having a baby and no support was pretty scary for us. We were so lucky to find Claire and that she had time to support us! She was the best doula we could've imagined. She supported us with her knowledge and advice, cooked the best meals for us (see picture 🤤), took care of the garden and dog and made sure I have pictures with my baby, too. She made us feel so well cared for, was always open for a warming chat and I felt safe with her watching baby while I took a shower - all so important when you're having your first baby. She became a part of our little family and maybe one day she'll be back as our doula, who knows 😊" Conny, Milton Keynes 

"Claire has worked with us twice now, for our son in summer 2021 and for our daughter in winter 2023. Claire is great to work with and we were able to get some much needed rest at night, knowing that our babies were being well looked after in her capable hands. She's flexible and had great advise about all things baby - feeding, sleep etc. We would highly recommend her!" Emily & Eliot, North London
