About Claire

Reading Mindful Birthing in 2015  proved to be a life-changing experience both personally and professionally. Claire is now a Certified Mindfulness-Based Childbirth and Parenting teacher, a DONA-certified Labor Support Doula with postpartum doula experience, as well as being an Associate Faculty member of the Mindful Birthing & Parenting Foundation. 


Claire has supported families as a doula since 2010., and mindful families since 2017. (She also had a 12-year career as a Stage Manager in theater!)


Claire welcomed her own child in September 2022 and continues to draw on mindfulness practices in her personal journey as a parent.
