Baby Care and Parenting Course Fife
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Highly recommend Claire’s Through Birth and Beyond Empowered Parents classes. Claire is very welcoming and creates a safe space for everyone individually making sure you are comfortable whilst also meeting everyone’s expectations of the class. We particularly appreciated how Claire focussed on the Dads just as much as the Mums, highlighting how they may be feeling now and postpartum which put my partner at ease. At no point did he feel uncomfortable to ask questions and anything he did ask was answered with no judgement which I know he was nervous about. We have come away with new knowledge and had such a wonderful experience. Thank you Claire!

Claire's course was invaluable to us in preparing for the arrival of our wee boy, and I can honestly say that his birth would have been a very different story without the skills and knowledge we gained from Claire. The classes are friendly and helpful, and Claire is welcoming and supportive whatever stage you're at. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. I'm still using some of the tips and skills now with my newborn!

My husband and I have recently been through the four week hypnobirthing course with Claire in January and can’t thank her enough for her kind and empowered approach to the classes, her open and honest attitude and the continued support she has offered me personally prior and during these classes. Claire actually went out her way on the weekend to give me some 1:1 time to go through extra things which left me feeling so grateful to have her as a leaning post and support during this time before our baby girl arrives. We have both learnt so much from Claire and couldn’t recommend her classes more highly for new parents to be, and those who want to be empowered and informed going into this final step before meeting their baby!

We decided to join Claire’s classes and I’m so glad we did. Claire is very knowledgeable and has made me feel empowered in what ever happens in my labour and birth. It has been a wonderful experience and something I’m glad to have shared with my husband who also now feels confident to support me. Thank you so much again!

This class is a must when expecting! The amount of information and resources Claire has is incredible. We joined the class when we were 25 weeks with our first baby and we have learnt so much in the four week block. Most importantly, we have left the course feeling confident about our birth plan, rights and choices. You can really tell that this is Claire’s passion and she has so much joy out of sharing her knowledge and experiences. The structure of the course was really good and Claire would always tailor sessions to any of our questions or concerns we had as a group. One feature of the course which was also really beneficial is Claire sets up a WhatsApp group with other girls attending the class. Claire is there on hand to answer all questions and always checks in the day after the class if we have any follow up questions. I found this so useful and such a helpful benefit of being part of the course. We feel so lucky to have found Claire and been part of the class. We would recommend this to anyone, it feels like this should be a must do when expecting!

I can’t recommend Claire’s classes highly enough. I was feeling hugely anxious and Claire’s knowledge and her supportive approach have totally transformed my mindset and confidence. It is amazing how much more settled I feel about what’s ahead. I feel empowered and prepared; honestly the course has just been a complete game changer for me (and my partner who was a bit hesitant at first). Thank you Claire!!

I’m not sure where to start with this review. Claire is a godsend! I think that pretty much sums it up. If I could give one million stars I would!
From the moment I met her, I knew she was all I needed to make sure I was smashing this birth. My first birth was extremely traumatic and although my son is 4 now, I still looked back on it and felt extreme fear like I did in that moment 4 years ago. During our classes all of my questions were answered and she fully supported my decisions for my birth. She is so informative and gives pros and cons for all labour options. After my classes with Claire I can confidently say that I’m really looking forward to birthing my second child. I feel calm and safe and know that my body can do this. Whenever I start to wobble I think about the techniques she taught me and I hear her voice in my head constantly telling me I’ve got this. Day or night, she’s always there to help and I truly feel I have made a friend for life in her.
Thank you Claire for helping me overcome my fear of birth, for being there for me 24/7 and for giving me back the joy of pregnancy.
Without you I don’t know how I’d feel right now at 39 weeks pregnant. You’ll always hold a special place in my heart for the strength you’ve given me to birth this baby ❤️❤️

Joined Claire’s course after a friend recommending it when I had mentioned how nervous I was about giving birth. Best decision I made and now feeling 100% confident and ready for our new arrival this month! Can't thank Claire enough for how informative and supportive she was through the full course.

After confiding in a friend that I was feeling quite anxious about giving birth for the first time, my friend suggested I attend hypnobirthing classes with Claire. Although, I haven't given birth yet signing up to Claire's Hypnobirthing course has been the best decision my partner and I have made to ease our anxiety leading up delivery.
Claire is friendly, warm and highly knowledgeable about labour and delivery. She put my husband and I at ease straight away and we felt encouraged and comfortable to ask questions about any queries or concerns we had.
The modules, resources, techniques and toolkit are brilliant and have really helped me feel a lot more informed, empowered, supported and confident when thinking about giving birth.
My husband also feels a lot more confident, involved and informed as my birthing partner. He is looking forward to putting in to practice what he has learned in terms of offering support, encouragement and being my advocate during labour.
It is evident from attending the course that Claire is extremely passionate and genuinely cares about women (and their partners) having the best possible birth experience, where they feel, informed, empowered and in control leading up to labour and beyond.
I would highly recommend Claire's Hypnobirthing course to any expectant mammas and their partners. Thank you Claire : ).

My husband and I found Claire's course helpful in preparing for the birth of our second baby. From my first message to enquire about the course Claire was so supportive finding relevant information regarding my circumstances and always on hand to answer any questions. Claire describes herself as a "doula in your pocket" - she truly is.
Throughout the in person group course, Claire was friendly, down to earth and put you at ease. The small numbers helped create a relaxed atmosphere.
Claire's course and advice helped me reflect on my first birth and feel more prepared to advocate for myself, and for my husband to advocate for my wishes, no matter what turn my birth takes this time. I look forward to using the tools I've have learned in my my birth. I am sure I will continue to call on Claire's expertise as I get closer to birth.

First time mum to be and new to my area I was really keen for an in-person antenatal experience. I was going to book classic NCT classes but I was intrigued by the idea of hypnobirthing through positive birth stories I read online beforehand and accounts I already followed. Claire’s Through Birth & Beyond were local to me, her website was super useful already so I had a good feeling, and I thought it would be a great way to meet other local mums also. It’s safe to say I made the best choice!
Claire has personal experiences to draw on, plus her impressive in-depth knowledge of the maternity services from Stats to local hospital policies.
All balanced with the very relaxing hypnobirthing magical steps to birthing.
I like how Claire is not biased and only wants you to feel equipped and knowledgeable for when it comes to birthing, in your own way. Any sign of fear disappears once you’ve gone through her classes. Major tick for me!
My husband found it super insightful, his awareness levels have heightened even more…And it also helps, throughout every session it was really fun, learning from other woman and having an open forum to ask any Qs… but I also appreciated it was serious when it needed to be.
I met some truly lovely ladies all round! Bring on ‘birth and beyond’!

My partner and I have recently completed a course with Claire and both of us are totally bought into the magic of hypnobirthing. I signed up being a bit sceptical, but was willing to give anything a go to take my fears of labour away and I’m so glad I did as I’ve finished the course feeling empowered, in control and knowledgeable about my body, my rights and the full process of labour! Claire has been a pregnancy/ labour guardian angel as she’s always on hand to answer questions, checks in on our well-being, supports us with writing up our birthing plans AND creates bespoke tracks to help release our fears.. mine being around needles! Full disclosure with the tracks.. you may want to listen to them a couple of times at bedtime before listening during the day as Claire’s voice is so relaxing and calm it may send you off to sleep! There is so much more I could say, but I’ll end this saying.. if you’re thinking about signing up then don’t wait about, there’s a reason her classes get booked up quickly… if I could rate this more than 5 stars I would! Thank you for everything Claire, you’ve given me tools and knowledge that I can use and implement in everyday life going forward x
