My own pregnancy 16 years ago (I was aged 26) was all it took to inspire me to become a midwife. Prior to midwifery my background was complementary health. Since the age of 20 I have worked with mostly adults in a therapeutic capacity and have undertaken various trainings, amassing new knowledge, skills and modalities along the way.
After qualifying in midwifery, I was fortunate enough to work at The Birth Centre Ltd., Professor Caroline Flint's well known establishment before taking the step into Independent Practice. Independent practice interspersed with occasional NHS stints to keep me up to date and on my toes. Now as a hypnobirthing and birth teacher, my role allows me to support the entire life-changing rite of passage.
I am at present a Family Therapy trainee (intermediate level). My approach to midwifery practice is relational, ie. concerning the way in which two or more people or systems connect. I'm finding the theory and practice involved is adding new perspectives that benefit my clients.
I can often be heard muttering the words "Pizzas are delivered, babies are born", probably even in my sleep.
''If a community values its children, it must cherish their parents'' - (John Bowlby 1951)
"Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruits of the womb a reward" - Paalm 127:3
