Let's change that, stat.
Beyond Birth is your step-by-step postpartum prep guide. You're gonna feel supported, confident, and ready to rock the sh*t out of new parenthood.
Preparing for birth but not what comes after?
As a first-time parent, the newborn days can feel like a total mystery.
Not only do you have to care for a baby—you have to take care of yourself, too. Without a plan, it’s easy to spiral into stress.
But here’s the truth: you don’t have to just 'wing it' and hope for the best. With the right support and preparation, postpartum can be bloody brilliant.
Once you've got a baby, what the heck comes next?
Parenthood is one of the biggest transitions of your life. You deserve just as much care as your baby. Let's take you from "Wtf am I doing?" to "I've totally got this". Because you only get to do this once.
Feel so supported
Gahhh! Breastfeeding, baby sleep, mental health... You know you need to learn about it, but WHY is there sooo much confusing info out there making you anxious? Let's cut through the noise.
No more mystery
I see you, deep in the Google rabbit hole, trying to figure out how to prep for new baby life. Step away from the search engine! I've got everything you need, all in one place.
Goodbye overwhelm
Your baby is only a newborn once. You deserve to enjoy that special time.
Every day, I hear from parents who say they wish they’d known how to prepare for postpartum. I don’t ever want you to have to look back and wish.
I've worked with hundreds of parents struggling in silence, and it's my mission to make early parenthood way easier, and way less scary.
I know how it feels to be pregnant and anxious about what comes next. I tried my best to prepare beyond my birth, but the antenatal classes just weren’t cutting it.
Determined to have the best experience I could, I created a postpartum roadmap that actually made a difference.
And you know what? It worked. I had a beautiful, supported postpartum. But I saw parents around me struggling. And I knew they deserved better.
I'm a specialist perinatal counsellor & mother.
Hi, I'm Claire.
MENTAL HEALTH
Learn everything you need to know about all the postpartum feels, and build the right support to help you thrive.
EVIDENCE-BASED SLEEP SUPPORT
Have a solid plan in place to help you get more rest, no matter what kind of sleeper your baby is. And no sleep training!
BREASTFEEDING AND MORE
Build a village of support around you, recover better from your birth, strengthen your relationships. And that's just the start.
But who's going to teach you the stuff that actually *matters* when you're going to be caring for a baby for the first time ever?
(Spoiler alert: I am)
Anyone can teach you how to swaddle a baby or clean up a poop explosion.

Join me inside Beyond Birth and you'll get:
In my private practice, I support parents through so many common challenges that could’ve been softened—or even avoided—with the kind of prep that’s in this course.
Without the right support, it can feel like you're doing the baby stage in 'hard mode'. I don't want that for you.
Learn from my counselling experience as we explore identity shifts, mental health & those emotions parents often feel but don't discuss.
Finish off by finding out exactly how to enjoy the early days with your baby so much more.
Get my support in improving relationships with your parents & in-laws.
Now you've created realistic expectations, learned all about babies and put a heap of support in place for yourself, it's time to talk about ✨feelings✨. The tools you learn in this phase will help your mental health and wellbeing well beyond the newborn stage, and you'll finish Beyond Birth feeling so much calmer and more excited for this next chapter of your life.
Emotional support
Phase 3
Get help with food, build a 'village', & learn what baby items are actually useful.
Use my templates to help you easily ask for help and set those damn boundaries.
Get my super easy process to make postpartum planning effortless.
We weren't meant to raise babies alone. So, this phase is all about taking everything we’ve learned so far and turning it into a practical postpartum plan that’s tailored to you. You’ll get really clear on where your support will come from, who’s responsible for what, how to ask for help (and actually get it!), and how to set boundaries without guilt.
Practical support
Phase 2
Find out how to protect your relationship, recover from birth & get really good at 'speaking baby'.
Get the honest truth about feeding & sleep, and the inside hacks to get more rest.
Bust the bullsh*t cultural myths and learn exactly what's normal for you & your baby.
Let’s face it, new parenthood can be a little wild. It's a huge, exhausting learning curve with a ton of emotions flying around. But if you’re armed with realistic expectations about babies and postpartum, you’ll feel a lot less stressed and way more prepared. When I work with new parents in therapy, I often guide them through struggles that could have been avoided if someone had just told them the info that's in this phase...
Expectations
Phase 1
Ready to take a peek inside?
Beyond Birth guides you through 3 phases:
Quick, helpful videos
Cheat sheets to keep
Simple, reassuring advice
Learn solo or w/ your partner
Every parent is unique. So you need support that's tailored to you. Ask me anything. I'm here to help.
Personalised support from me
Sometimes, you just need to be around people who 'get it'. Connect with other parents on the same wild ride.
A community of other parents
An hour-long interview with 2 experienced lactation consultants, answering all your burning questions.
Breastfeeding experts
you'll also get access to:
And if that ain't enough,
I’m a trained and experienced counsellor, specialising in early parenthood. I’m registered with the Australian Counselling Association, which means I’m backed by a code of ethics, clinical supervision, and professional development that's based in research - not woo.
Who the hell am I to be teaching you about postpartum?
Ok. Let's make sure I'm not an internet charlatan.
I’ve worked with hundreds of families through my private practice and some of Australia’s leading mental health organisations.
I facilitate gold-standard parenting programs like Circle of Security, and I’m trained in evidence-based baby care approaches like Neuroprotective Developmental Care (also known as Possums).
Oh, and I’m a parent too. So I deeply relate to the joys and the struggles.
Me, somehow still smiling after being in labour for 2 days.
All sounds fancy AF, right? But here's the thing: I firmly believe that parents are the experts on their own children, and I don't tell you what to do. Beyond Birth empowers you to do things *your* way.

If you booked private sessions with me, it would cost between $1500 and $2000 to cover all the content in this program. Even a 2 hour postpartum planning session with a doula is generally at least couple of hundred dollars.
I wanted a way to make this type of planning more accessible, and give you *all* the info and tools you need, not just scratch the surface.
"I wish I'd had less support during postpartum"
(Said no one ever)
We all know parenting can be tough—and a lot of it, you can’t fully prepare for. Some parts of new parent life will be a beautiful mess no matter what. But that doesn’t mean you have to go in blind.
Doing the Beyond Birth program now can make a huge difference later. Let’s make sure you feel confident, supported and have what you need in place to care for your mental health.
Want in? I only take on a small number of new parents each month so I can offer real, personalised support. Pop your details in below and I’ll be in touch ASAP to let you know if there’s a spot for you.
Get the info & support you need, *before* your baby comes. Because parenting is too difficult and too beautiful to do alone.
Feeling confident, prepared, and ready to snuggle that sweet little bundle.
Feeling like you're not sure what the heck you're supposed do with a baby.
saving money by learning to spend on the things that will actually matter.
feeling like you need to spend so. much. money. on baby things.
learning everything you need in one place, in a super simple way.
paying multiple different people to learn all the things you want to know.
Enjoying extra rest before your baby comes along and keeps you awake!
spending way too much time searching online and drowning in info.

Yes! And if this is you, I totally get you because this was me. I live on the other side of the world from my entire family and had my son during covid. The village? It was hard to find. But there ARE still ways to get support, and that's what I'll teach you.
Can I still benefit from this if I don't have a 'village' to support me in postpartum?
We're on the same page. Everything in Beyond Birth is evidence-based, grounded in attachment and responsiveness, and focused on infant mental health. You won't find any dodgy sleep training methods or outdated advice here, promise.
I'm keen to be a responsive/respectful parent - does your baby info align with that?
So glad you asked! It is SO hard to find any postpartum education for couples - everything is marketed to mothers. But aren't women already doing enough?! I've got so much in here for dads and partners and I LOVE when couples do this together.
Is this course just for pregnant people, or can I go through it with my partner?
Just in case you're wondering....
I really believe in the value of this program, and put a lot of time into making sure you're supported. For that reason, I don't run any sales - but I do offer a payment plan, to help make the course more accessible.
Do you ever offer discounts on the Beyond Birth course?
The course has been designed for parents who are bringing home a baby for the first time. Although so much will apply with any postpartum experience, the key info about babies is most helpful if this is your first rodeo. We're inclusive of multiples though!
Is this suitable for me if this isn't my first baby, or I'm having multiples?
Most people start going through the materials during the second or third trimester, although this is really up to you. As a rough guide, allow yourself ~6 weeks to go through everything at a leisurely pace and organise the postpartum support you'll need.
At what stage in pregnancy should I begin this program?
- kim
"When I had my first baby, I did so much prep for the birth, that I kind of forgot everything that comes after it. I bought lots of 'stuff' but I didn't realise what kind of support I actually needed.
I wish I'd had Claire to guide me through that time. I might have enjoyed it a lot more."
- Toni
"This is so f$#cking good!
I spiralled into so much anxiety after my son was born, and it could have been avoided had I had more support."
I get a little thrill every time new parents sign up because I know I can help them thrive.
I'd be honoured to guide you through this precious time, too.
Kind words from real parents
That's me!
You want honest, practical info that prepares you for the reality of new baby life, but doesn't scare you sh*tless!
You want your partner, your family, your closest friends to understand what support you need and be on the same page.
You're learning allll the things about pregnancy and birth, but beyond that? You're not really sure what to expect.
You know you'll need support in the early days, but beyond some food prep, you're not totally sure how that could look.
You're getting ready to bring a baby home for the first time and you want to thrive, not just survive.
You and Beyond Birth are made for each other if...
You deserve to have the best postpartum possible
If you've scrolled all the way down here, it's because you know that having a baby is life-changing and you want to go into this precious time feeling supported, so you can actually enjoy it.
