CLAIRE MARIE MILLER, LMT graduated from the Boulder School of Massage Therapy in 1979. Soon after newly married and pregnant, she taught her first pregnancy massage class called Pleasant Pregnancy. The journey of pregnancy and massage was further developed through receiving extensive massages, from a mother of three teens who shared her mothering wisdom as she massaged Claire.
The gift of a postpartum massage by another friend/massage therapist on the third day of postpartum was equally wonderful.
Nurturing the Mother was conceived as a workshop and certification in 1990. It was born out of the passion Claire has for pregnancy, birth, and motherhood. It is also born of the desire to support women having an empowered journey as they become the mothers of our future generation.
Claire has studied with many teachers in the childbirth and prenatal psychology field. Her teachers have include Jeannine Parvati, Elizabeth Noble, Suzanne Arms, Michael Odent, David Chamberlain, Thomas Varney and midwife Kate Winningham.
Claire gave birth to her three children completely natural, James, in the hospital, Jessica at home who Claire delivered herself, and Danielle who was an underwater birth delivered by her father.
Throughout all three children Claire received pregnancy massage, labor massage, postpartum massage and gave her children infant massage. Her daughter Jessica was also a conscious conception, Claire and her husband were aware of the egg and sperm meeting, and all the way through the zygote implantation in the uterus.
Claire has attended around 40 births both at home and in the hospital. She has trained thousands in this powerful womanly art of Nurturing Mothers..
