Womb Craft
Womb Craft is a unique modality developed by Claire, integrating her extensive expertise in the realms of her 25 years attending births and working with pregnancy, birth, the postpartum period and working with sexuality. Drawing from a diverse toolkit, sessions are enriched by Claire's extensive knowledge in various bodywork practices, including Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, STREAM, Pregnancy and Post-Birth Bodywork, Somatic Sexology, ureogenital osteopathy, the wheel of consent and her in-depth experience as a midwife.
As a midwife and one of 15 international Spinning Babies® Approved Trainers, Claire's in-depth understanding of the anatomy and experiences of the pelvis, birth process and the baby's journey from the inside out help her understand the pressures and stressors on bone, soft tissue, emotion and spirit, and the loving presence they may need to soften back into health and comfort.
Claire has done several trainers with the school of consent established by Dr. Betty Martin who developed the Wheel of consent.
What to expect in a Womb Craft session
In Womb Craft sessions, Claire skilfully weaves her knowledge and expertise of birth, sexuality, women's pelvic health, scar tissue healing, and in-depth bodywork to provide a personalised healing experience to best support and cater to your needs.
Claire specialises in both external and internal pelvic work, addressing this sensitive anatomy, with a combination of anatomical understanding, sensitive care and respectful touch.
Claire holds a space of deep presence and listening to you and your body, being guided by your body's innate intelligence and power. Claire supports you to come back into balance, mobility, and health in the way that your system knows best. Claire practices a 'being with' rather than a 'doing to' approach.
If touch is requested during the session, the techniques are explained and offered with in-depth practices of somatic consent, with clients being supported to guide the sessions in the way that best serves their needs.
Womb Craft sessions go at your pace and if you opt for internal pelvic work, they may extend to 2-2.5 hours long. For those who don’t require hands-on treatment, Zoom sessions are also available.
