  Independent Midwife, Nurse and Lactation Consultant (IBCLC)  Essex & East London

As a qualified midwife of over 16 years I've seen first hand the benefits that midwife-led continuity of care can bring to new mothers and their babies.  I've built my independent practice around this very concept - ensuring that you and your family have a single continuous point of contact to support you throughout pregnancy and into the early stages of parenthood.  As an independent midwife I am able to provide an intimate, close and trusting relationship with you. A personal relationship built over time and in the comfort of your own home.

Throughout your pregnancy appointments will not be rushed. I will take the time to develop a deep understanding of what’s important to you, so I am best able to help you achieve it. And when you develop a deep trust in me you will feel safe, which is a vital aspect of a positive pregnancy and smooth transition into parenthood.  My aim is to empower you, to ensure you feel confident, educated and able to make informed decisions throughout your care.

I offer both antenatal and postnatal care packages, both of which will be tailored to your own individual needs.    

I also provide in person group comprehensive antenatal classes which include hypnobirthing and infant first aid.
