After having a miscarriage, my friends and I were distraught. To commemorate the lost life, my friends (couple in picture) got a plant to represent the baby’s life. That plant is shown in the background of the picture. My friends found out they were pregnant again about 9 months after the miscarriage. With a very low chance of another miscarriage, they’re now 4 months pregnant. We took pictures to celebrate and tell the world.

Holding a new beginning and learning together

I am a Registered Midwife and Certified Hypnobirthing Pnstructor with a passion for guiding expectant mothers through relaxation techniques and enhancing prenatal bonding.In the late 1970s I completed my State Registered Nursing and Midwifery training in Newcastle on Tyne and relocated to Norfolk.I gained my experience for all aspects of maternity care before becoming a Community Midwife for 10 years. As their Midwife I cared for the women and their families from conception, giving full antenatal care , and being present at the birth, whether that was at home, Midwife Led Unit or Hospital. During their 28 day Postnatal period I guided them through the transition period of new parenthood caring for their newborn baby and assisting in establishing the feeding of their choice.I was part of a GP practice and during this period I taught antenatal groups having achieved an Antenatal classes teaching certificateI became part of the Core team in The Midwife Led unit, specialising in calm environment and waterbirths.It was as a student nurse in the 1970’s I became aware of medical attitudes towards birth, where women’s choices were often ignored. It was when I held the hand of a woman who was about to give birth and she whispered ‘thank you’, while her partner sat in the corner of the room as the doctors assisted in the birth. It was a life changing event and I never forgot her response because of giving such a small gesture to support her.I have always been amazed at the power of women during the birth process and was becoming aware of 2 distinct groups. The first group showed signs of fear and required pain relief and often medical intervention. The second group were calm and were described as “going into themselves”. I wanted to know more about this method.Through my research I discovered Hypnobirthing, it fascinated me. It explained how the mind and body work in unison achieving a calm birth.I achieved my Diploma in Hypnobirthing (Mongan Method) in 2016,I approached the Head of Midwifery and was able to get funding to train 35 more Midwives I joined them and gained a further Diploma with the Hypnobirth Midwives Uk.With over 45 years experience, in all aspects of Midwifery care, I concentrate on supporting the mother and her birth partner. I help them gain the knowledge and confidence to have a calm birth where ever their birth journey takes them.The birth of a baby is a family centred life event and with this in mind you can match your sessions to suit your family.As their Midwife I also had the privilege to be at the birthMy Life Now.I have achieved the perfect balance of following my passion to support women and their families while being able to plan be with MY family and friendsMy husband, daughters, stepsons and grandchildren keep me active in the spring and summer with activities such as gardening, fishing and canoeing.
