What my clients say about working together…

How I became a Private Midwife & moved away from the hospital system.....

How I became a Private Midwife & moved away from the hospital system.....

My first experience with midwifery, was looking at photos of my best friends’ mother, giving birth, in her living room. I had so many questions and that sparked my passion and love for all things midwifery. I am in awe every day of a woman’s body and how clever it is. We can create life, grow it and nourish it. What made me move more towards private midwifery was the lack of autonomy women had over their own bodies and minds in the “system”. I believe the hospital has its place and sometimes it’s the best place for women to be, but it is overused for low-risk women. So here, I bring you my services, where I use evidence based knowledge and you are the one who has the final say.
