About Rad Parents
Hi, I’m Claire! I’m a perinatal counsellor, parenting cheerleader and mother. I’ve worked with hundreds of parents struggling in silence and it’s my mission to make early parenthood way more fun and way less sh*t.
I understand how it feels to doubt yourself, as a parent, and to struggle mentally, feeling like you’ve lost yourself. I’ve been there too.
Through compassionate counselling or birth debriefing, I can help you work through the ups and downs of life as a parent, and find heaps more confidence and self-compassion.
I also run an epic postpartum preparation and support program called Beyond Birth, and offer evidence-based, holistic parenting support once your little one arrives.
I believe parenting is too difficult and too beautiful to do alone. I’d be honoured to be part of your village of support.

Beyond Birth Program
Every day, I speak to parents who tell me they wish they'd known how to prepare for postpartum. This is why I created Beyond Birth.
It's an incredibly comprehensive postpartum preparation and support program, and it's perfect for you if you're bringing home a baby for the very first time.
It's my hope that by joining the program, you'll have the most supported and nourishing postpartum period possible.
I'm offering 5 spots for the pilot round.

Nurturing Nurses
Hello, we are Helen & Karen and we are the founders of Nurturing Nurses and Infant Massage. We each bring over 25 years of experience in Neonatal and Paediatric Nursing and still work in clinical practice in a Special Care Nursery in a Brisbane based Maternity unit. We are Certified Infant Massage Instructors and want to share with you the extensive benefits of Infant Massage for newborn babies and premature babies through online videos .
We have a wealth of experience of the developing newborn and are both mothers ourselves, so we understand how difficult it can be sometimes to attend in-person classes in the ante-natal and newborn phase. We offer to you a series of online videos for purchase to teach you the benefits of Infant Massage, whether you are seeking a remedy for digestive issues such as colic, or if you simply want to enhance bonding and attachment with your baby. These videos, once purchased are yours to keep and watch any time you want, working through at your own pace. Videos can be purchased via direct links on our website. We also offer a range of free educational videos through our YouTube channel relating to aspects of Infant Massage and ‘All Things Baby’.
