I first discovered midwifery when a midwife visited my school (longer ago than I care to admit!) and spoke with such genuine passion about her work that it managed to engage this moody teenager. It was an epiphany. At just 14, I knew this was what I was meant to do.

But at the time, I didn’t have the confidence to say it out loud. Instead, I followed a different path—completing my A levels, then joining the Royal Air Force. Five years of military service overseas and around the UK gave me courage, perspective, discipline and resilience. When I returned, I was finally ready to pursue the career I’d always dreamed of.

I never looked back. I graduated with a First-Class degree, received a Clinical Excellence Award, and began a career I loved.

Over the years, I’ve seen first-hand the impact of chronic underfunding in postnatal care. In labour, women have the right to one-to-one support—but once the birth is over, the clock starts ticking. Care is often rushed, postnatal wards are stretched thin, and families are sent home with little time to rest, reflect, or ask the questions they desperately need answered.

Even as a midwife myself, I was surprised by how isolated and overwhelmed I felt when I brought my own baby home. That experience deepened my belief that early, compassionate, expert postnatal support can make all the difference.

Now, through my work, I offer exactly that: calm, informed, and tailored guidance to help you navigate those first days and weeks with confidence
