About Claire
Claire Yee (some past clients may know her as Claire Bettesworth) is a proud mother of two naturally birthed babies. She experienced the power of applying simple calm hypnobirthing techniques with the drug free, peaceful water birth of her second baby, Oli, in the birthing pool at Birthcare. Read about his birth and watch the video here.
In 2010 Claire trained as a Hypnobirthing Practitioner through The Hypnobirthing Institute and has since shared Confident Hypnobirthing techniques with over 1,500 expecting couples across Auckland and beyond, both in person and online.
Claire also holds a Degree in Education, and is an Accredited Life Coach, Reiki Master Teacher, EFT Practitioner, and Advanced PSYCH-K® Facilitator, bringing a genuinely holistic toolkit to how she supports parents through pregnancy and birth.
"I am in awe of women's ability to perform the miracle of pregnancy, birth & motherhood. I love seeing the empowering effects that calm hypnobirthing has on parents and their babies."
"Thank you for opening our world to hypnobirthing Claire. You have a great way of sharing hypnobirthing techniques as well as the personal experience to help us all understand birthing"

What parents say about Claire's Courses..
It’s difficult to find the words to express how thankful I am for Claire and the knowledge which she shared with us. The life learning we experienced with her has quite simply been magical and we wholeheartedly believe that our healthy baby boy flourished both in the womb and out in the world as a direct result of the belief and trust we developed through practising the hypnobirthing tools.
After developing such a strong sense of belief and trust in my body to carry and birth our baby, we created an environment which let our baby feel our strength and relish in our love. Even when we were given news that no parent would want to hear – we were able to draw on our learning and tap into our intuition. We were able to regain our strength and pass on that strength to our unborn baby with an outcome which can only be described as miraculous!
Claire is passionate about her work and indeed the work she does is life-changing. We will be forever grateful for the important learning she shared with us and the impact she has had on our family.
