About your midwife
I am a registered midwife with 18yrs experience in the NHS & abroad in a variety of settings (current DBS certification). I have trained with Expectancy Ltd, the leading provider of courses for midwives, recently completing Diploma in Midwife Complementary Therapies. Insured by RCN (Royal College of Nursing) & FEDANT (Federation of Antenatal Educators). I am available for you throughout your pregnancy and postnatal period.
The Spark
What is it that I love that is uniquely me? I have been working as a midwife since 2005- a career that started in a team caring for young mums on a 1:1 basis providing home visits with continuity and time to listen… then having my own family which prevented on-calls (and therefore labour care)… but now being able to offer the whole pregnancy and postnatal package including education and support around birth and breastfeeding… It sparked an idea! I can take the time that is much needed and desired to provide enhanced care for families so they feel safe and calm about their journey. And receive relaxation treatments such as reflexology or massage or hypnosis for anxiety as an added bonus!
Deep Breath, Let’s Do This…
From that day the work began. Researching, reading, completing an academic Diploma, meetings, business training and support, writing endless lists and seeking out the perfect space that could bring my ideas to life.
The Launch
Equipment was ordered, branding was finalised and list after list got ticked off. It is happening. One Tree Maternity launched in November 2023.
Doing Good
This was the time I was able to make another dream come true: accepting donations to a fund from which vulnerable women can receive free treatments. As a brand that sells a product for women navigating motherhood it felt right to support families who would benefit from extra support for themselves. Providing complementary therapies each month for women who cannot afford to spend extra on self-care is one of my proudest achievements.
