I believe midwifery is about more than clinical care. It is about building trusting relationships, holding space for each individual journey, and supporting families to feel confident, informed, and deeply cared for throughout pregnancy, birth, and the early days of parenthood.
I hold a Bachelor of Midwifery from the University of Manchester, where I graduated in 2017 after three years of training. In the nine years since, I have worked across the NHS and in independent practice, at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust and then Airedale NHS Foundation Trust. I am NMC registered (PIN: 17G3046E) and fully insured.
I absolutely adore my job. It is an honour and a privilege to be a midwife, so much so that it doesn’t really feel like a job at all. It is a vocation, and part of who I am. I am passionate about midwifery care that is holistic, individualised and evidence based, and my particular interests are birth trauma, physiological birth and antenatal education.
I am a mother to three young boys, and I had three very different and eventful pregnancy and birth experiences with them. Between them there were fertility struggles, gestational diabetes, big babies, transverse and breech presentation, homebirths, and an emergency caesarean, so I have pretty much covered all bases. More importantly, I experienced the transformative effect of feeling safe, supported and seen during my own births, and that has had a profound effect on the way I care for others.
The crux of my ethos as a midwife is that I really believe in the physiological process. I trust you. I trust your ability to grow and birth your baby, and I trust your choices. It is my privilege to walk alongside women and their families through pregnancy, birth and the postnatal weeks. You won’t find me pushing any agenda onto you. I will quietly walk beside you as you take your chosen path, offering gentle encouragement and support along the way.
Your pregnancy and birth journey is uniquely yours, and my role is to support you in a way that feels right for you. I offer individualised, personalised care shaped around your needs, preferences, values, and circumstances.
Qualified since 2017, with experience across all areas of maternity care, in the NHS and in independent practice. I’m skilled in recognising and managing complex maternal and newborn conditions, so you and your baby are always in safe hands.
I am passionate about empowering women to make informed decisions about their care.
You are at the centre of every decision. That means clear, balanced, up-to-date evidence, so you feel confident in the choices you make for yourself and your baby.
Your maternity care should never feel rushed, or like a tick-box exercise. I offer unhurried appointments and continuity of care, creating space for conversation, questions, reflection and emotional support.
Every pregnancy deserves to be cherished and held with care.
Whether this is your first baby or your fifth, your experience matters. I believe in creating a calm, supportive environment where your pregnancy is respected as a significant and meaningful life event.
My approach is holistic, recognising that pregnancy and birth are not only physical experiences but emotional, mental, and deeply personal journeys.
I care for the whole woman: her wellbeing, her family, her circumstances, and her baby, with compassionate support that nurtures both health and confidence throughout the journey into parenthood.
Continuity of care is at the heart of how I work, and working on my own I can offer it completely. One midwife who knows you, understands your story, and walks alongside you through pregnancy and the early postnatal days. The same face, every single time.
You will not be just another appointment on a list. You will be known, heard, and supported every step of the way.
