I’ve been a midwife for over a decade, working across a variety of models of care and supporting women and families through pregnancy, birth and the early postpartum period. In 2020, I established my own private midwifery practice, grounded in evidence-based care, true continuity, and deep respect for women’s bodily autonomy and informed choice. I’m (ridiculously) passionate when it comes to supporting women to make the decisions that feel right for them and their babies.

I have a particular interest in breech birth and vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC), and I am currently working with Breech Without Borders on their Breech Video Analysis project, contributing to ongoing learning and research in this space.

The Village Wellness Centre was created from a deep belief that women and families thrive when care is collaborative, connected and community-based. After years of working within fragmented systems, I wanted to create a space where families could access trusted, evidence-based care under one roof - a place that values continuity, informed choice, and the understanding that no one should have to navigate pregnancy, birth or parenthood alone.

Outside of midwifery, I’m Mum to my seven-year-old son Logan, share my days with a cocker spaniel–poodle cross (still undecided on which of them has more attitude), and am very much looking forward to becoming a first-time chicken mum.

I truly hope that when women walk through the doors of The Village, they feel safe, seen, deeply supported and genuinely connected. I look forward to welcoming you and hope to see you at The Village soon.
