This is where my real passion for midwifery lies.
In my professional journey as a Midwife, I have become increasingly aware of the lack of care, support and education for new parents. I have seen how this is this impacting families and birthing people with their recovery, not only in the immediate postpartum period but in the years following.
So with this in mind, I work to provide the highest standard of evidence based care, giving information, reassurance and support, centred around individual needs. I take a full body holistic approach to support those in my care, focusing on emotional, physical, psychological, spiritual and cultural needs of families as well as educate around the practicalities of becoming a parent.

In our professional journeys as a Pelvic health Physiotherapist and Registered Midwife, we have become increasingly aware of the lack of care, support and education post caesarean section, and how this is this impacting women and their recovery. Not only in the immediate postpartum period, but in the years following.
We are working together to provide evidence based, individualised care and support to families, to help optimise mental and physical healing after birth by caesarean section. We aim to facilitate understanding of the impact of pregnancy and birth on the body and empower women and birthing people to take control of their own recovery.
