About Clare - Holistic Baby Sleep Coach & Postnatal Doula

Hi, I’m Clare, a holistic baby sleep coach and postnatal doula with a lifetime of experience working with children and families. As a mother of three grown children, I understand the joys and challenges of parenting firsthand. My mission is to help families not only survive the newborn phase but thrive during it.

My Journey as a Mother

When my first child was born, I found myself overwhelmed. Breastfeeding felt impossible, and my baby would only sleep in small stretches on me. By week three, I was exhausted, tearful, and desperate for guidance. I wish I’d had someone to lean on during those tough early days.

With my second baby, I faced severe CMPA (Cow’s Milk Protein Allergy) and reflux. While I felt slightly more prepared, juggling two young children with competing needs was an entirely new challenge. I longed for a friendly face, a warm cup of tea, and someone to keep my toddler entertained.

By the time my third baby arrived, I had finally found my rhythm. I’d learned to trust my instincts, let go of parenting books, and truly connect with my baby. That’s when I promised myself: one day, I’d help other parents navigate the newborn phase with confidence and support.

My Professional Experience

Today, I’m proud to have supported hundreds of families as a maternity nurse, postnatal doula, and holistic infant sleep coach. Whether in person or remotely, my role is to be a calm, empathetic presence during this significant time in your life.

My Approach

Parenting in today’s world can feel overwhelming, with endless opinions and societal pressures. I’m here to simplify things. My goal is to:

• Help you manage sleep deprivation and establish healthy sleep routines.
• Empower you to trust your instincts as a parent.
• Support you in building confidence to navigate parenthood on your terms.

As the saying goes, “It takes a village to raise a child.” While I may not be a whole village, I aim to bring warmth, guidance, and reassurance to your journey.

I specialize in:

• Holistic Sleep Coaching: Gentle, evidence-based sleep solutions tailored to your baby’s needs.
• Postnatal Doula Support: Practical and emotional support for new parents.

Parenthood is a profound experience, and I’m here to ensure you enjoy every moment while overcoming the challenges. Let’s work together to create a thriving, happy family environment.
