My story

Why I created this service

I've worked as a midwife for over 35 years, supporting families both within the NHS and privately. I've always loved supporting women through pregnancy and beyond - it's a privilege I never take for granted.

But over the years I began to notice something important. Many women feel cared for during their NHS appointments - but in between, they are often left with questions, worries, and a sense of uncertainty.

That quiet space between appointments is where anxiety can build. And it's also where support matters most. That's exactly why I created my business.

This is not just education. It is ongoing professional help - available when you need it, not just at appointments.

How I work

My approach is simple

I combine clinical knowledge with a calm, steady presence and a deeply personal understanding of what each woman needs - so that you feel not only informed, but genuinely supported too.

Many of my clients say working with me feels like having a trusted friend who also just happens to be a highly experienced midwife. Someone they can reach out to without hesitation.

A little about me

The person behind the midwife

I live in Ilkley, West Yorkshire with my husband and two dogs. I'm mum to three adult sons and Nanna to George.

Family is very important to me - and it's one of the reasons I care so deeply about supporting others as they begin their parenting journey. I understand what it means to have someone you can truly trust during one of the most important times of your life.
