Claire
Claire Wyborn is an absolute gem of a woman. She’s caring, generous, attentive, has an insatiable appetite for birth knowledge and has a calm and comforting presence. She’s quirky, fun with a wicked sense of humour. You’re bound to feel your confidence soar as you listen to Claire sharing her years of experience with you in an open and honest manner.
Claire stepped into the birth world after a massive change in her life, discovering the calling to Doula work after a big readjustment and has really settled where her heart has landed. Connecting with women and families as they transition into a new adventure in their lives and supporting them gently during the first few months is such fulfilling work.
She’s a mother to 3 incredible grown up children, 1 heavenly baby, 2 grandchildren and another grand-baby on the way. Claire’s other passions outside of her beautiful family and birth work are craft – specifically quilting, sewing and all things food. She has a very green thumb and a passion for turning her produce into yummy food – notably her chillies and artichokes.
Claire has been supporting families as a doula for 14 years, is an Internationally certified Lamaze Childbirth Educator and has attended countless courses over the years including but not limited to Spinning babies, Eat Pray Doula, and Doula Conference. Claire is incredibly proud of having had her personal birth story published in The Journal of Perinatal Education, which was later expanded and printed titled “What Birth has taught Me”.
