About Me
Supporting women & birthing people to create time for themselves, feel empowered and have positive birth experiences.
About Me
I qualified as a midwife in 2005 and currently practice in Leicestershire. I have worked in all areas of the maternity service including as a consultant midwife for 6 years. I have supported many women to make informed choices in their pregnancy adn birth, including where those choices fall outside of the recommended guidelines. I am passionate about supporting women and birthing people to make informed decisions in their care and I can support with navigating the maternity care system.
I trained as a hypnobirthing instructor with The Calm Birth School. I believe all women and birthing people should have confidence in themselves, their choices and their bodies. I love supporting clients to have a positive birth experience no matter what thier individual circumstances are.
My love for yoga first started when I attended pregnancy yoga classes during my first pregnancy. I love how yoga supports me to keep calm and relaxed whilst also nurturing my physical wellbeing. I have trained as a women’s health yoga instructor with YogaBellies. Supporting women to embrace the changes they encounter throughout all their life stages, and realising how yoga can support them mentally, spiritually, physically and emotionally.
My Vision
Before the birth of my two beautiful daughters, I was a busy professional woman in a senior position in the NHS. Following their birth, life became more challenging as I negotiated the juggle of being a working mum. In both scenarios, I didn’t prioritise self-care and my own wellbeing as much as I should have. It is my vision to support the women who come into this community to embrace all the changes that life brings throughout their lives, and to build a community of yoga loving women who support one another.
The completion of my hypnobirthing training taught me so much more than another profession. It equipped me with the tools and techniques for relaxation and stress management that I use in my everyday life now. I am confident in the ability of hypnobirthing to enable women to have a calm and positive birth experience. It is a priviledge to be able to equip women with tools they can continue to use throughout their lives which can help manage life’s stress and strains.
