I'm Clara, a holistic birth nerd
A Little About Me
Hi there! I'm Clara O'Rourke (she/her). I'm a researcher turned doula and childbirth educator. I bring a mix of science-backed information and mindfulness strategies to my approach as a birthworker.
I have been called to birth work for as long as I can remember. Disheartened by the way birth has been portrayed in the media and the hyper-controlled medical system, I am here to support people connect with their intuition and birth with confidence.
Inspiration for Clear Light Birth comes from the truly transcendent journey people embark on through pregnancy, birth, and parenthood. In Spanish, "to give birth" translates to dar a luz, which, at its root means to give light. For many, this is a transformational, enlightening, and often spiritual journey.
Through childbirth education and doula work, I support birthing people in creating a holistic path to parenthood that centers their voice. I am here to guide you through any uncharted waters, encourage you to tap into your strong intuition, and support you in feeling grounded in your decisions throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
I am queer and neurodivergent as well as an advocate for social and racial justice. I love spending time in nature, practicing yoga and meditation, nerding out about birth, and playing with fiber arts.
I am here to honor you for who you are and how you want to give birth to your baby.
