"I help women navigate pregnancy, birth and early parenthood with confidence. Providing holistic, evidence based, and continuous midwifery support that is personalised to your individual needs."

Do you feel rushed, dismissed, or like your preferences aren't respected or taken seriously by standard maternity care?
Do you want continuity of care with someone you know and trust?
Do you fear unnecessary intervention? Having heard stories of inductions and emergency cesareans, when your dream is a physiological, low intervention birth?
Do you have a previous traumatic or negative birth experience that you're terrified of repeating?
Do you want a more holistic approach to your maternity care, thats aligned with your values, and nurtures your mind and spirit as well as your body?
Do you want more control over where, how and who with you give birth?
Independent midwifery gives you more control of your birth. IM's work alongside you, with no time limits on appointments, get to know you deeply, your fears and anxieties, wants and needs. IM's have c section rates of 3-10%, induction rates well below 10%, and vaginal birth rates of over 90%. This is in comparison to C section rates of over 40%, induction rates well below 10% and vaginal birth of around 55-60% with standard NHS maternity care. Mental health and satisfaction of care as well as breastfeeding success is all proven to be better with an IM.
The stats speak for themselves.
Pregnancy and birth are life changing. - Make choices that support you.

Evidence has continuously proven that the safest model of maternity care is continuity with a known midwife who understands and supports physiology.
As a qualified midwife of 8 years, I have gained a wealth of knowledge and experience supporting women through pregnancy birth and beyond. I have supported women in hospital and at home, with a vast array of care needs; for example VBAC, gestational diabetes, breech and twin pregnancies. I have also completed additional trainings in biomechanics, prenatal yoga, aromatherapy for childbirth, trauma informed coaching and maternal critical care.
As someone who has a very holistic and spiritual approach to my own health and lifestyle, I weave this into my work as a midwife. Pregnancy and birth has the power to transform you as a woman, and it is my mission to support you to navigate this this portal, so you emerge feeling empowered and ready to step into motherhood.
I work with Zest midwives, which means that not only do you receive all the knowledge and experience that I have gathered over the years, but that I have a community of like minded and highly experienced midwives and doulas on hand to support me to support you.
I also work closely with obstetric and medical colleagues at local NHS trusts, so that if you want or need medical input, we can work together as a team, with you at the centre to create a model of care that is truly personal and bespoke.
