I’m a midwife committed to being calm and kind. I’m looking forward to getting to know you and your families and supporting you on the journey through pregnancy and birth to parenthood, whether it is your 1st baby or 10th! Outside of work I’m interested in charity work, teaching sexual health in schools, visual art, poetry, live music and travelling.

I love being a midwife because I get to see and be part of miracles every day!  I am looking forward to meeting you and your families, along with supporting you to make the choices that are right for you and your baby throughout pregnancy and beyond.  In my spare time, I love to travel, watch films (especially Disney ones) and spend time with friends!

I find it extremely rewarding caring and supporting women and their families through one of the most important journeys of their lives. I am a Professional Midwifery Advocate supporting my colleagues to support women in their care.

In my spare time I enjoy catching up with family and friends, exploring new places whilst walking my dog, trips to the theatre and binge watching Netflix.

I am so excited to work as a continuity midwife within the Sapphire team. I am passionate about supporting women and their families during their pregnancy journey, to make informed decisions which are individual to them and their care. I enjoy offering antenatal education and hypnobirthing techniques to help achieve a positive birth experience. Outside of work I love seeing my family and friends, travelling, exercising, reading, and binge-watching Netflix.
