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.
