Absolutely, I can support you through this pregnancy and birth journey. As a midwife and mother, I understand the complexities and emotions that come with pregnancy after trauma or loss. I will work closely with you to provide personalised support, addressing both your physical and emotional needs. Together we can create a plan that ensures you feel safe, supported and empowered throughout this experience. Please don't hesitate to share your concerns or questions. 

Please get in touch at any stage of your pregnancy to discuss how I can support you and your new family during the postnatal period. Even if your baby has already arrived, it's never too late to ask for help! Sometimes it's only in the midst of chaos, you realise you could use some friendly professional support!

Of course! I am a breastfeeding expert: having breastfed both of my children exclusively for a total of 24 months and as an experienced midwife, I am confident I can support you to breastfeed your baby. Helping you with positioning, attachment, combatting breast/nipple pain and tricky feeders(!); sign-posting you to further specialists should you require additional support. 

I am privately insured as an antenatal and postnatal teacher with FEDANT and no longer practice in a clinical setting. At present, I do not offer any clinical services, including birth. However, if you are looking for additional support in labour, I would be happy to discuss this with you. 

The short answer is yes! Together we will explore unbiased research based evidence to help you make informed decisions about your maternity care; helping you achieve the birth experience you dream of. I can't promise you a "normal" birth, (what is normal anyway?!) but I can promise you a birth where you feel in control.

From 24 weeks onwards: giving us plenty of time to work together before your baby arrives. If however, you feel you would benefit from earlier support, please do not hesitate to get in touch much sooner. We all need supporting in different ways. 

Like a Doula, I provide information, emotional support, and physical comfort to mothers before, during and just after childbirth. With over 10 years experience working within the NHS maternity system, I bring first-hand knowledge of the medical model of care, offering a unique perspective and approach to education. While I deeply admire and respect the work that doulas do, my background allows me to offer a distinct and valuable service. 

At any stage! You may have lots of questions or feel really overwhelmed in your first, second or third trimester and would like ongoing support alongside your 1-2-1 private antenatal or hypnobirthing course. 

Research shows that birth partners feel more relaxed and prepared for labour if they have jointly participated in the birth preparations. However, if your birth partner is only able to attend a few of the sessions, this will still be of huge benefit to you both.

I offer an in-depth program tailored to meet your individual circumstances. It is a personal choice whether you decide to book a group class too, however this may be information overload! There are also lots of other ways to connect with expectant parents locally. We will discuss this on your 1-2-1 program: I recognise peer support is invaluable during this phase of life.
