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 these aspects are often overlooked and 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.
