Birthwork

I offer holistic support through pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period to women who are ready to call in the support they deserve whilst going through this important life transition.

I am particularly experienced in supporting homebirths but will support whatever type of birth you want to have. I am based in Ireland and am available to work with you if you live in Dublin (city centre & south), Wicklow or East Kildare.

How I can support you

I work with birthing women in many ways and each woman is different in what she desires and requires. We will discuss what works for you individually, but to give you an idea, here is what I can offer:

1. Doula support: Hire me as your doula and I will walk with you through the rest of your pregnancy, be there to empower you as you birth-wherever and however that may be-and tend to you and baby through the postpartum period. This support is physical, emotional, informational and practical. The price ranges between €900 - €2000.
2. Postpartum support: If you want support once your baby is Earthside, I can offer breastfeeding guidance, medicinal meals, emotional support and generally ensure you and your family thrive by having all the support you need. This can also include naming ceremonies or closing ceremonies. The price ranges between €150 - €1500.
3. Consultations: If you are simply seeking more information about your options or desire emotional support, we can speak over the phone/zoom for a consultation with which I can guide you through the first steps. The price is €80 per hour.
4. Massage therapy: I offer holistic and nurturing massage therapy that is suitable for everyone, including pregnant women and postpartum. Visit me in my studio or have me come to your home. The price ranges between €85 - €115.
5. Motherblessings: Allow me to hold a special event in which all your close woman/people gather to celebrate your transition into motherhood in ceremony and ritual. This is a beautiful way to honour your pregnancy and be honoured by all the women/people in your life. The price ranges between €200 - €600 depending on your desires.

Feedback from Clients

“Ciara was a beautiful presence in our post natal landscape - intuitive, wise, gentle and highly capable both in the kitchen and with our twins - and I’d recommend her to anyone.” - Xochi (twin postpartum support, 2020)

“Having Ciara support us for the month after my son was born was a game changer. I got to be fully present for my spouse and other children while my partner received the nourishment she needed to heal. Cannot recommend enough.” - Earl (postpartum support, 2023)

“Ciara was such an incredible support to our family through the birth of our baby Leo. She went above and beyond to make sure she understood our wishes. We felt that she always knew what to say or do, such a calm, comforting and fun presence! This was the birth of my third child, and just so wish I’d been there the previous births. She has such a deep, wisdom and knowledge of birth and how to support us all from amazing playlists, nourishing snacks to the most amazing massages. Her massages helped me so much through some of her more intense period of labour. Every mother needs a Ciara!” - Lily (homebirth support, 2023)

“Ciara was a delight and joy to welcome into our family in time for the birth of our third child. She played a wonderful supportive role in so many ways through the magic of birth. Ciara is a gifted body worker, breath worker and all round birth worker, we could not recommend her more highly for those wishing for extra care, support, love and even humour during a birth experience. We are deeply grateful.” - Holly (homebirth & postpartum support, 2024)

“Ciara’s postpartum support was everything I could hope for and more. From listening to and honouring our birth story, to offering soothing and nourishing touch, delivering delicious treats and facilitating a beautiful closing ceremony, her presence and support was a balm during these tender and special postpartum days.” - Gina (postpartum support, 2024)
