have been a midwife for 12 years and I have loved every opportunity to be involved in supporting families on their journey into parenthood. My career has included working in numerous London teaching hospitals in both high risk and low risk settings. This has broadened my skills and exposure to many women from different cultures, backgrounds and beliefs. It has also equipped me to relate and engage with all women.I've also worked as a private caseload midwife for several years which has given me the opportunity to provide enhanced personalised care to women and their families including one to one antenatal classes tailored to the needs of my clients. I also offered birth support and enhanced postnatal care. I supported with both high risk and low risk homebirths, ensuring that women felt they had a voice and felt listened to during their birth experience.I have managed a team of midwives through the set up and delivery of care in a caseload team and published a report in the British Journal of Midwifery on the journey of implementing and embedding the practice of that team. Currently, I am a Preterm Birth Specialist Midwife, embedding continuity of midwifery care into a heavily obstetric service and offering transvaginal cervical scans to support the obstetricians. I won the title of BAME Midwife of the Year in 2023 for the work that I put into this service.

Fun facts about me: I've delivered both my babies myself at home (with midwives there). It's the most empowered I've ever felt as a woman.I've also been interviewed on Sky News a few years back to discuss the shortage of midwives in the UK.

My service is to educate and empower women in pregnancy through personalised care to enhance their birth experience. These are appointments designed and tailored to meet the needs of the client and family, including one to one antenatal education and review of your NHS care to ensure full understanding.I also offer a birth reflection service to give women an opportunity to talk through their birth. This is to gain clarity, understanding and closure on the events surrounding their birth, drawing on my experience and expertise in complex births.
