Hello, I’m Claire,
I am a wild Nanny, a mother and grandmother. I’m a homebirth midwife of 25 years, founder of Womb craft body work practice and international facilitator of Spinning Babies (R),Midwifery emergency skills, Midwifery mentoring, perineal suturing and the mysteries of the Holy dark of the womb.
I am also a somatic sexologist, STREAM ( scar tissue remediation education and management ) practitioner and Cranio sacral therapist.
I love to gently blow on the fire in women's bellies to help rekindle the embers, to awaken the fire that helps us remember our bodies, our knowing as powerful and Holy.
I am passionate about speaking the ancient language of birth craft so we don't lose it.
I'm excited to met you and sit in the holy wisdom and knowing of Birth craft together.
Working with hundreds of families and birth workers around the world for over 25 years using gentle, simple hands on practical skills to support reverent birthing physiology, and childbirth complexities has given me unshakable faith in the beauty and power of the ancient skills of Birth craft.
🌕 Overview
There is a fire that lives in your belly —
a quiet, powerful warmth that first called you to serve birth.
Over years of witnessing, tending, and navigating the weight of systems,
that fire can flicker. The glow that once felt steady and alive may feel dimmed by exhaustion, over-responsibility, or heartbreak.
WOMB FIRE is an initiation —
a remembering of what truly fuels you as a midwife, doula, or birth keeper.
Together we gather to re-light the inner hearth,
to feel warmth return to our bellies,
and to remember the sacred in the everyday.
Welcome into a sacred pause to feed your own fire so you can continue to hold others in theirs.
What you will get from the course:
- Families and clients are more likely to seek you out because you hold a calm, embodied presence and confidence that is felt, not performed.
- You develop greater capacity to hold intensity and complexity, allowing you to work more sustainably and take on work that feels aligned rather than exhausting.
- The skills you integrate support deeper, more effective sessions, often leading to repeat bookings and referrals.
- As your work is experienced as more grounded and valuable, it becomes easier to charge appropriately or expand your offerings without overworking.
