About
I'm an Independent Midwife and Hypnobirthing/Antenatal teacher based in Reigate, Surrey (I also cover areas further afield).
I provide holistic, professional care to women and their families from conception to 6 weeks post-natal.
I am able to offer home births and am able to provide support to those women who may need/want a hospital birth but would like an advocate present with them who they know and trust throughout.
I combine Hypnobirthing and Antenatal classes together as the hypnobirthing tools help women (and their birth partners) to stay calm, relaxed and confident throughout their pregnancies and births even if their journey takes a 'detour'.
One of things I love most about my job is being able to spend time getting to know my clients and their families - building strong, trusting, professional relationships that allows me to provide safe, holistic care tailored to suit your needs.
I also specalise in Gestational Diabetes and gentle planned c-sections and am happy to provide support, advice and guidance on these topics.
