Birthing, Mothering & Schooling in Freedom
clare cox doula
I'm Clare. Mum to two teen girls Lola & Evie, Wife to Steve, Caretaker of a menagerie of animals, dedicated Doula & all round Soul Nurturer living in the Worcestershire countryside.
I had a pretty turbulent journey into Mother, having Endometriosis , PCOS, unexplained infertility and suffering three devastating pregnancy losses along the way. This journey, coupled with the very traumatic birth of my eldest daughter led me into the depths of postnatal anxiety, with nowhere to turn for support.
This was the fuel i needed to step into the role of Doula and to dedicate my working life to understanding the holistic needs of Women - from fertility through to menopause and beyond - find out more here
Coming from a Romany Gypsy Family connection to the seasons and cycles of the Earth is in my blood and bones and i was naturally drawn to extensively research and professionally train in Astro Herbalism and Ayurvedic Medicine - this ancient wisdom weaves into my work seamlessly and enables me to work with Women on a deep level - explore it here
As a woman from an underrepresented community (who has experienced first hand the discrimination that often goes alongside this) i designed a Gypsy & Traveller Cultural Competency - Birth & Beyond Workshop for those working with Mothers - i offer this to Universities, Colleges, Private Training Providers and MNVP'S as a two day online course
My Roots Full Circle Facilitation Training Course is my signature offering and one i feel deeply passionate about. As women we need support at every stage of the journey. We need to feel respected and heard and be witnessed by other women. This program opens at limited intervals throughout the year
We are an unschooling family who choose to live in alignment with our own values, trust in our intuition and ride the ebb of flow of everyday life as it happens. After working as a teacher i was completely frustrated by how the system stifled the creativity and imagination of our little people. I love guiding other families to discover the freedom we have through my RootED programs and ebooks - you can find these here
