Meet the founder of Wildflower ​​​​
​​​​​​​​​
I'm Clare, Mama to two girls and a whole host of rescue animals, living in (organised-ish) chaos, unschooling life in the Worcestershire countryside.
​
Having worked with Mothers for over 20 years i hold a vast number of highly recognised, professional qualifications and regularly undertake Mentorship with other women - shared wisdom is magic and every woman needs someone who is able to hold and nurture them as they hold and nurture others.
​
My perinatal courses are approved NHS training and used by numerous trusts all over the UK.
I have provided Cultural Humility training for leading birth and baby course providers, universities and charities and continue to attend conferences as a keynote speaker and space holder.
I have supported hundreds of women from all over the world to build successful, thriving perinatal wellbeing businesses that have enabled them to not only find that vital work life balance, but to also make a huge difference to the lives of other mothers and their babies.
​
When i don't have my head in a book you can find me with my hands in the soil, growing our own food, cultivating my magical wild medicine garden or mucking out the ponies with my girls!

​
The journey into Motherhood wasn't straight forward for me..
​
I had undiagnosed infertility which turned out to be related to PCOS and Endometriosis. It took 6 years for me to become a mummy and i suffered the trauma of losing three precious, much longed for babies along the way.
​
The support i received after my miscarriages was incredibly poor and this is something that i feel passionately about changing- no woman should be placed on a maternity ward full of new mums and babies when they have just been told they have lost theirs.
​
My first birth experience was nothing short of traumatic. I was unprepared (i'm not sure i could allow myself to believe my pregnancy would get that far) and i had no idea what my options were. I have never felt so vulnerable and out of control in my life. This experience left me struggling with Postnatal Anxiety - i wanted everything to be perfect, i wouldn't allow myself to rest or accept help and i became convinced something would happen to my baby. The one time i reached out for support my health visitor told me that it would mean 'a lot of paperwork', so i left it there - how sad is that?
​
I went onto have a second miracle baby 18 months later , she suffered with horrific colic and reflux and literally woke on the hour every hour - my mental health took a dip again, there was zero support.
​
When i returned to work full time i knew that i was running myself into the ground - i was depleted on all levels and felt i was never truly giving 100% to anything . I was miserable. I needed to step off this treadmill.
So i did!
​
I had no plan, no savings and a full time wage to replace - was this scary? YES! But i trusted that i would find a way to make things work - I had to
​
This is when Wildflower was born!
