About Me
You will find me most happy and content at home, with a fire on, glass of wine and a good book or baking whilst listening to some Ibiza classics or Smooth FM. I love to craft (if time allows) and enjoy walking, yoga and raising my beautiful strong minded daughter.
I love all kinds of music, I have quite an eclectic taste! My daughter was born to the album “The XX” but I couldn’t quite tell you which exact track but every time I listen to it I am completely taken back to that moment!
I live in Nottingham (although originally from London where I grew up) with my husband, daughter and lively dog called Ray!
I love working in the birth world which may seem worlds away from my prior career as a yacht underwriter but I have always been drawn to supporting others throughout my life and it has always come quite naturally to me. I have always felt very passionate about advocating on behalf of others when they couldn’t and making sure they get the support they need.
It may sound a bit cliche but I just fell in love with birth! Birth changed me forever, it showed me what it was to feel truly empowered. It is the most transformative moment in a woman or birthing a person's life. There is not a day that goes by when I am not drawn back to my daughters birth.
Every mother and birthing person truly deserves to have continuity of care, support to have the birth they want and that is the foundation of all my work.
“Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making mothers--strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength”
