Description

Congratulations on your pregnancy!

What an exciting journey you have ahead of you. I believe the greatest joy is to become a mother, but the second greatest joy is to be a midwife. I am passionate about working alongside women to become mothers and working in partnership with you whilst providing you with the support you need to welcome your baby.

Childbirth is such a special life-changing event, as is motherhood, with this I believe in empowering women through this process and am passionate about women’s choices and consent to ensure you make a decision that is safe for you and baby. I also work closely with other health professionals when necessary to meet any additional support you and your baby may need. I believe birth is a natural process and I am passionate about supporting women to achieve this.

My role as your midwife is to support you into motherhood, empower you to trust your ability to birth and parent whilst providing you with the best possible care.
