independent midwife supporting home birth across devon, cornwall & somerset
Holistic, continuity-based midwifery care rooted in physiological birth
“whenever and however you give biRth, your experience will impact your emotions, your mind, your body, and your spirit for the rest of your life.”
Ina May Gaskin, author and pioneering midwife.
Hi, I'm Clair ~ an experienced independent home birth midwife based in Barnstaple covering Devon, Somerset & Cornwall. For over a decade as a qualified midwife, I’ve witnessed the miracle of birth and I’ve personally supported over 100 out-of-hospital births.
As a published researcher with a 1st class BSc (Hons) in Midwifery, I combine evidence-based care with the warm, personalised support that comes from real experience. I specialise in home birth, water birth and physiological birth and I’m passionate about helping families across Devon, Somerset and Cornwall to birth confidently at home, on their own terms., offering the gift of time, trust, and transformation.
Imagine having a midwife who really knows you ~ your deepest hopes and fears. In my care, there are no rushed appointments or clinical spaces. Instead, we'll share cups of tea and deep conversations in the comfort of your own home, creating space for your wisdom and intuition to guide the way.
If you’re planning a home birth, you’ll have the same experienced independent home birth midwife by your side every step of the way ~ ME!
This isn't just midwifery ~ it's woman-centred midwifery care, celebrating your strength, remembering what birth can be, and empowering you as you walk the pathway to motherhood!
