Becoming a midwife was like beginning a new life for me. For the pregnancy and birth of my fourth child, I had been looked after by an independent midwife and the experience was life changing. I have been a midwife for over 20 years, always offering continuity of care and I am particularly passionate about postnatal care and breastfeeding support as I believe that this aspect is often overlooked and is crucial to a woman’s wellbeing.

Whilst I will care for the whole family, for me, it is really about the woman, ensuring that she feels supported and nurtured, able to make her own choices, so that she can relax and enjoy this time, recover and care for her baby, safe in the knowledge that I will be with her every step of the way.

I also teach antenatal preparation classes.

Midwifery caught me later in life, after I’d had 4 children myself and seen the difference good care can make to new parents. I graduated as a midwife with a first-class degree and, after initially working for my local NHS Trust, in 2018 I left the NHS to become a private midwife and have worked as a personal midwifery provider ever since.

I love that personalised midwifery allows me to be a midwife for YOU – not for the system. I love being able to focus fully on my clients and their families, ensuring that; they have all the information to make choices that are right for them and their baby; they know ALL their options at every stage, and that everything is done to make their path to parenthood smoother. I enjoy developing the strong ties of trust, respect and warmth that our work creates. I am happy to walk alongside you through the minefield of the early days, holding your hand to lead you through it together.
