Description
My journey to become a midwife started when I was pregnant and encountered the wonderful profession of midwifery. Having had a challenging birth myself I understand first-hand the positive impact good midwifery care can have on your birth story. I am passionate about positive births and healing births.
I love seeing women grow throughout the childbirth journey. From the moment of finding out they are pregnant, through labour and birth and when becoming parents to the new precious life they have created. I support women to birth at the hospital, at Warkworth Birthing Centre or at home.
I work with the wonderful team at The Cottage Midwives.
Please contact me on 0204884411 if you feel like we will be a good match.

Your stay at a birthing centre or hospital after giving birth will usually be up to 2 days, or 2-5 days if you have had a caesarean. During this time you will have regular visits from your midwife and be supported to care and feed your baby. After the birth you will be tired and busy getting to know your new baby. Most women who have had a normal birth stay in the hospital or birth centre for 48 hours. If you have had a caesarean section, the usual hospital stay is 3-5 days. There may be an option to have your postnatal stay in a primary unit if you have given birth at hospital. Some women choose to go straight home after birth, this is called a planned early discharge. Talk to your midwife about your postnatal stay and make sure your family know what your plan is.
