Claire Murdoch Birth & Postpartum Doula in Reno, NV
About Claire
Nurturing and care giving is in my nature. I am specifically drawn to women and the transition into motherhood. I felt the call to birth work after attending the birth of my first nephew. I completed my Holistic Doula training in 2019 then had a child of my own in 2021 which taught me about the real depths of birth and motherhood. My goal as a birth worker is to nurture the autonomy and intuition of parents. I will teach you how to support yourself and will empower you to make informed decisions about your pregnancy and birth because every experience is unique. I will provide evidence-based education and unbiased support because every birth deserves to be seen and respected. I will help you feel grounded and will help you navigate this exciting time (that can also be overwhelming!). I want you to feel confident in your decisions and will advocate for you and the birth you deserve. I approach my work with great passion and a continued awe of how magical birth is. I hope to inspire in you what I already know to be true: You’ve got this!
