Have you ever wondered what birthing at home is actually like?
Maybe you’ve heard stories, or perhaps you’re just starting to feel like the standard hospital path doesn't quite fit your vision for your birth.
The Podcast "Are You Homebirth Curious?" is a space for those questions. It’s a podcast designed to take the mystery out of birth at home, giving you the clear information you need to make the choice that feels right for you.
What We Explore
We look at birth from every angle - not just the clinical, but the emotional and environmental too:
The Physical: How your body is designed for birth.
The Environment: Creating a "birth bubble" that feels safe.
The Mindset: Moving past the common fears and myths.
The Intuition: Learning to trust your own gut feelings.
The Experience: Honouring birth as a major life milestone.
This project is built on a foundation of Reciprocity. I am committed to centring and professionally honouring the voices of First Nations sisters and artists. By paying professional fees to the Aboriginal storytellers on this show, I seek to ground into respect for the lands we birth and parent on.

Podcast Trailer
Have you ever felt an inkling that birth could be something more than a managed clinical event?
If you’ve found yourself looking for a path that feels more aligned with your own body and your own rhythm, you’re in the right place. You’re simply Homebirth Curious.
This is a first glimpse into a project dedicated to shifting the narrative around birth: moving away from the idea of home as a place of risk and back to the understanding of what coming home really feels like. It’s about the relief of familiar floorboards, the comfort of your own space, and the safety that allows you to settle into your own internal knowing.

Land and Lineage: Reclaiming Homebirth and Ancestral Wisdom with Alison Burrell
What does it mean to birth from a place of deep connection to land, lineage, and inner safety?
In this powerful premiere episode, Claire yarns with Wiradjuri family counsellor and mother of twelve, Alison Burrell. From navigating teenage pregnancy to standing fiercely against a colonial medical mindset, Alison shares how our bodies are hardwired for autonomy. Together, they explore how birth imprints ripple into parenting, the vital necessity of Birthing on Country, and how to dismantle institutional birth fear.
